w YASHINGTON'S prize bowling
M family, the seven Donaldson
brothers, could stage duck
pin tournament all their
own and be reasonably sure a Donald
son would be the winner, but Frank,
Wallace, Edwin, Rhet, Linwood, Mel
vim and viii Donaldson are willing to
forsake some of the assurance of a
Donaldson victory in favor Of chance
to cash in on part Of the $500 in cash
offered by The Evening Star in its
fourth annual Yuletide singles tourna-
ment, to start December 81 at the
Lucky Strike.
At that, the bowling brothers will
have better than an ordinary chance
when the curtain rises on The Stars
big duckpin party, for there will be
seven times as many DonaldSons in
the event as there will be most every
other name. And the Odd Fellows
League, to a man. is ready to chirp
that the seven Donaldsons can bowl.
During the last two years the Don
aldsons successfully have defended
their brothers championship against
all other similar combinations-the
Viehmeyers, Girdardis and Fryes. Sat
urday they will tackle the five Kinni-
han brothers in a special match.
But it Is not the fact the Donaldsons
have been the best brother bowling
five in the city that alone stamps them
a real threat to cash in on part Of the
$500 offered by The Star later this
month. They climaxed q season of
victories and record breaking perform
ances last night at Convention Hall
when the Donaldsons, rolling as the
Amity No team, shot new all-time
Odd Fellows League record and two
new season marks.
Melvin Donaldson started off the
fireworks by getting las, which, though
not a record, Is score any bowler
would gladly welcome. Record No.
was made by Rhet Donaldson, who
rolled a 396 set. Then all five-last
nights team was made up of Will,
Melvin, Rhet, Frank and Ed-pitched
in to shoot game of 6o3, season
record. A team set of 1,729, an all-tlme
mark, rounded out the nights pinniing
AS one Odd Fellow remarked last
night, III there were pari-mutuel
booths in bowling, everybody in the
Odd Fellows League would have show
ticket on Donaldson in The Star
tournament"
IF everything works out as Secretary
/ L. E Tanner plans, the Income Tax
Unit League won't be second to any
loop in the city as far as representa-
ton in The Stars tournament Is con-
cerned.
Tanner Is busy lining up all 81 teams

TAX EXEMPTION BAN
HELPS FISTIC CLUBS
Offers Them Leeway to Pass Up
Charity Bouts, Held Bane
as General Thing.
BY WILBUR WOOD.

NEW YORK, December 1.-The big
boxing clubs, such as Madison Square
Garden, are unlikely to shed any tears
over the announcement from the IN
ternal Revenue Department in Wash
ington that in the future exemption
from the Federal tax on ring shows
will not be granted Rather, the pro-
motors are more likely to heave sigh
Of relief
The boxers, their managers and the
various charity ganiZations will DO
the weeping over this edict. Their loss
relatively will be much larger than that
Of the promoters. In fact, under the
new order of things the clubs which
have millions invested in the business
may stage for their own exclusive bene-
fit many big shows which otherwise
would yield a share Of the profits to
charity.
In recent years the various charity
organizations have become increasingly
active in raising funds by cutting in
for share of the profits of big shows.
In the Summer of 1929 the Milk Fund
elaborated with Madison Square
Garden in staging the Schmeling-
Sharkey bout for the heavyweight title.
Last Summer the same charity would
have had a share in the Schmeling-
Stribling contest had not the boxing
commission barred the fight from thif
city. And next Summer it had figured
on sharing with the Garden in heavy
weight championship brawl.
There is now a possibility 1t seems
that the milk fund will attempt to pro-
mote Schmeling- Dempsey or Schmel-
ing-Sharkey fight strictly on Its own by
borrowing the license of some club and
hiring one of the New York ball parks
To do that it apparently would be nee
eSsary to obtain a special permit from
Washington and satisfy the authorities
that the sums to be paid the boxers
were not excessive. according to the In
ternal Revenue Departments ideas OF
the value OF those services.
Managers of leading boxers always
have been eager, for reasons that will
be set forth, to have their pets perform
on charity card, as the fighter, and
therefore the manager, profits consider
ably from the exemption such shows
have received from the Federal tax.

n yEW YORK, December fittings
nj were humming at the Bowie
race track Tuesday. The meet
ing was over and 1000 horses
were being shipped by express, freight
and van to distant warmer climates for
Winters campaign. There Was frost
in the air and men, boys and horses
we're vigorous and energetic. Song and
laughter resounded across the track.
The grooms and stable boys were
jubilant, and their trainers active, firm
but cheerful All had tasted the first
bite of Winter and longed for the
sunny South or milder Southwest.
The horses seemed happy and eager
to start, too They were feeling good;
danced and pranced around like lot
of yearlings and snickered and snorted
while they were being loaded into their
cars and vans.
But there was one exception to this
Joyous activity. Over at barn No. 70
there was silence and gloom. Men and
boys moved about as slowly and solemn
ly as If they were at funeral. The
horses there appeared quiet and sad,
too. They acted as If they SenSed

suffering. He was Sandy Ford, the
frightful old one-eyed horse which won
the s25, 900 Dixie stakes last year and
made Willie Shea and his wife Myrtle
comfortable for life.
The old horse wasn't in pain. A
veterinary had attended to that; had
administered on opiate. But he wasn't
we'll enough to return the caresses
showered on him by Johnny McKeon
the stable foreman, his best and truest
friend. Johnny fondled and embraced
him dozen times, as he had done
every morning for years, but old One
Eye didn't respond He stood like an
image, unable to shake his head or wag
his tail.
Tears trickled down Johnny's cheeks
as he talked to his old friend and when
he emerged from his stall the last time
he blubbered like child and said: II

Johnny McKeon had for old one

Shea had made arrangements to ship
his one-eyed horse to Z. E. Hale's farm,
near Knoxville, Va, and have him de-
stroyed and buried there and suit

Johnny and he were to go to the farm
by train and see their old friend buried
SO after Johnny's nerves had quieted,

M Der mike Sections %
v year-old reign as presi-
dent of the National
Association of Professional Base
Ball Leagues appeared near the
end today, engulfed by a sudden
campaign to reorganize and re-
habilitate the entire organization.
The action to GUST him and to in
stall new leadership in the organization
Of the minor base ball leagues came
last night when the owners decided the
time had come for rehabilitation. A
committee of three was appointed to
bring the proposal before the formal
meeting of the organization, opening
today, and it was reasonably certain
Its plan would be adopted.
Y Under the plan a committee would
" be appointed to make complete
study of the minor league prob
lens and to recommend a new presi
dent at a future meeting. Sexton
would be retired to the post of hon
orary president with a pension. No
mention was made Of John Farrell,
veteran secretary of the association,
although he too, may be affected.
The committee members selected to
place the matter on the convention
floor Homer Hammond, president of
the San Antonio club of the Texas
League; Charles Graham. vice presi-
dent of the San Francisco club of the
Pacific Coast League, and Warren Giles,
president of the Rochester club of the
International League.
Such an action is absolutely neces-
sary II the minor leagues are to en-
dure," said Branch Hickey of the St.
Louis Cardinals and director of the
Cardinal minor league farm system
who introduced the resolution
The formal meeting of the associa-
taon is attended by league presidents
only, but there was no doubt today but
what the reorganization plan would
be approved.
ITS our money and if our presidents
don't vote the way we want them to,
we'll Just get new presidents" said Lee
Keyser, owner of the Des Moines
Western League club.

Johnny. You can go by train, but I'm

Willie acquiesced and Johnny order
ed one Of his men to bring out Sandy

not obey. The groom put on a shank
and was just about to give it yank

the horse alone. Then he stepped UP
to the old horse and said; Johnny

Ill and almost helpless. staggered out of
his stall and into the van. Johnny
jumped in after him and off went the
