STARS WILL SHOOT
SATURDAY NIGHTS
Each to Contribute So to
Pool and Pay Alley Fee /.
at Big King Pin.


~ EFT ready, you expert bowlers,
for more sweepstakes.
When 81 entered the How
ard Campbell Sweepstakes,
nearly twice as many as ever before, an
idea danced into the bean of Bill Wood,
boss of the Lucky Strike and two King
Pins.
"If the bowlers like that sort Of COM
petition so much, why not give EN- more
of it?" thought william.
And today he had things planned for
enough sweepstakes to keep the stars
satisfied the remainder of the season.
Starting Saturday after next week
ly sweepstakes will be held at big King
Pin.
Entry Fee Two Berries.
The entry fee will be two bucks, with
so cents additional for cost of three
games. Sixty per cent of the total entry
money will go to the winner, 80 to the
runner-up and 10 to the third high
man.
Entries will remain open until a few
minutes before starting time, which will
be tbs o'clock. John Pop Evans will
be there, as usual, to run things The
weekly tournament Will be open TO all
bowlers, including those of neighboring
counties.
Wood has talked over his plan with
a number of participants in the Camp
bell sweepstakes and all have been en-
,husiastic. He appears to have hit
upon the best idea yet for Saturday
night bowling. Managers and proprie-
tors have been trying for several years
to develop organized competition on
Saturday with little success. Few
leagues care for the weekend date.
Masonic Tourney Draws.
In the meantime the stars are firing
away in preparation for the final set
of the Campbell classic, to be rolled
next Saturday night at the King Pin.

Cardinals were playing Cincinnati
that day and the Reds were getting
decidedly the better of things. Man

so he put me in the game at shortstop,

NEWPORT, r. l., August 2l.-The
fortunes of the Newport Casino tennis
draw today forced Bib Bill Tilden, de-
Tending champion. to attempt the diff
fcult task of brushing Gregory Mangin,
capable Newark racqueteer, out of his
path to the semi-finals.
Despite an injured hip that has rob-
bed him of much of his mobility. Tilden
has advanced through four brackets
without grave danger. His wealth of
experience, wide variety of stockings and
keen competitive spirit, has made him
a favorite over the Jersey player.
Tilden'S Davis Cup teammates have
round George Lott of Chicago. inter-
national singles player, will clash with
Sydney Wood, sensational New York
youngster.
Wilmer Allison of Austin, Tex. and
his Davis Cup doubles partner. Johnny
Van Ryn of Orange, N j., will also be
seen in action. The former will en-
gage Frank X. Shields Of New York,
while Van Ryn tackles Frank Hunter,
veteran New Rochelle, ". Y, publisher.
Ten doubles teams will compete late
in the day and 1t is likely that COMPETE
ton will provide an upset similar to
Yesterdays elimination of Allison and
Van Ryn by Phil Neer of Portland, Ore,
and E. w. Feibleman of New York, a
pair of seasoned players who form a
dangerous doubles team. Tilden and
Hunter were down to halt the rapid
progress of Keith Gledhill and Ellsworth
Vines, the Californian youngsters who
have been cutting quite figure this

golfer who has shown more improve
ment this year than most of the men
who play at Congressional.
Mihills played the first nine at In
dian Spring in 80 strokes, in company
with Mrs. Mihills, and then joined DR..
and Mrs. E. r. Tilley, and Mr.. and Mrs.
F. ]. Donahue over the last nine Scor-
ing a SO for the first nine, he came
home in SO, which is just par for that
tough last nine at Indian Spring, and
scored a rs. His previous best mark
was 10. Richardson was playing in a
four-baller with J. r. McCarl, j. E.
Murphy and Sandy Armour, and by
superior putting and steady work
through the fairway he shot a rs to
break his previous best mark by two
strokes.
What would you think If you were
all square with a golf1ng gent coming
to the eighteenth, and at that last
hole he poled out a big tee shot and
then holed q mashie niblick pitch
for a birdie to win the hole and the
match in this spectacular fashion?
That very thing happened to r. S.
Antrobus at Congressional the other
day. He was playing with E. j. Hard
ing, who is a long hitter and who
knocked the ball almost hole high at
the eighteenth. 1t seems that Hard
ing had been taking some lessons in
short pitches from Archie Clark, and
on this shot he observed all the funda-
mentals that Clark impressed upon him
to such effect that the ball went in
the hole for the winning 2. And now
Dick" Antrobus thinks he, too, might
benefit by lesson or two in how to win
matches by trick shots.
But Charlie Penna, the caddie master
at Congressional, thinks this game of
golf is all the bunk. How can you
reconcile yourself to a game where a
mighty tee shot is no more help than
puny 2-foot putt?" Penna asks, as
he sits In shelter and soliloquizes over
the four puts he took on the sixth
green at Congressional after knocking
the tee shot on the green, more than
800 yards away.
Charlie stood on that sixth tee and
knocked the ball down the hill right
onto the putting green, where he had
20-foot putt for 2. But he holed
out In 5, and now he sits and ponders
on the inequality of golf which counts
2-foot putt just as much as that
glorious crack from the tee.
