that has saved thousands of lives and
now unites the world in a net Of in

On December IL, 1901, Marconi sat
In Cabot Tower in st. Johns, New
foundland, ana heard three faint clicks
the telegraphic code for the letter
IS" which had been originated a frac-
ton of second before by contacts of
a key In Marconi's specially constructed
station at Poldhu. South Cornwall,
England.
Those three clicks in longer COM
form the SOS. They have brought
Vulnerable ships in all the seven seas.
That symbol still halts broadcasting

commerce and entertainment OF the
world may not interfere with the ur-
gency Of saving endangered lives.

HOLY NAME LEAGUE.

THERE is an excellent chance
that the return of The Evening
Stars Yuletide duckpin party
to its original home at the
Lucky Strike late this month will be
signalized by the smashing Of both
tourney records, 654 for men and q
344 for women which have stood since
the first annual Star singles tournament
in 1929.
A concensus Of prophesies made yes
terday by three of Washington's most
expert duckpin prognosticators provide
authority for this.
The raising of the bowling cutters.
which have aided in the production OF
unprecedented high scores this season,
is expected to be the main factor in the
breaking of the records in The Stars
singles tournament, which will open
Monday, December 81. Five hundred
dollars in cash and two championship
medals will be at stake.
A friendly little Battle of Prophesies"
was assured last night when Tad
Howard of the Rendezvous, Howard
Campbell of the Lucky Strike and Lon
ME Krauss of the Columbia, ventured
varying predictions on the probable
winning scores of the big tourney.
Campbell and Howard prognosticated
new records in the msn's division. while
Krauss, perhaps the most consistently
accurate pin prophet in the game,
differs. Lonnie doesn't think the win
ner will shoot over $50.
All of them agree, however, that a
new women's record will be made.
ssTN spite of the high scores shot at
1 the Lucky Strike" says Lonnie. who
last year came within point or
Two of predicting the winning average
of John S. Blicks 100-game marathon,
II cont believe the mems winner will
roll over $50"
six hundred and seventy will be the
winning sccre," predicts Campbell. Last
Saturday in the Dixie Sweepstakes Is of
the 80 bowlors rolled over 900 in their
afternoon sets here at the Lucky Strike.
Tad Howard goes Campbell even bet
ter. Tad. one cf the games pioneers,
says somebody lis gcing crazy" and the
winners score will be between $40 and
690"
Strangely enough. each predicted the
1881 girl champ would shoot between
ESQ and $40.

Congressional Team Captures
WOmen's Interclub Golf Trophy

Marvin Haynes, chairman Of the Dis
trict Women's Golf Association team
match competition, to start the matches
earlier in the season, and also Is hoped
to get several more clubs to enter the
team series.
The matches really were an after
thought this year, having started after
nearly half the golf season had elapsed
to maintain interest in women's golf
were they that the committee plans to
draw up full schedule OF matches
for 1892 to start in the Spring.
The original plan of the matches this
year was to have only one contest be-
tween each club. but the fair golfers
liked them so much return matches
were played. So much interest was
shown that during the lengthy schedule
played through the hot months only
three matches were defaulted.
EVERETT EYNoN and Tommy
- Bones are chafing at the bit for a
return match with Harry G. pitt
and Miller B. Stevinson, who trounced
them the other day in q challenge
match. Eynon and Bones have been
beaten before, but not under similar
circumstances, and they hope a re-
turn engagement with Pitt and Stevin-
son may be arranged before it gets too
cold to play satisfactory golf Pitt and
STEVENSON won on the last green, 1 I'D.
a score which the Columbia youngsters
do not believe is conclusive enough to
warrant a direct claim of supremacy.
Not ir many years has the Fall sea-
son been so warm that grass on the
fairways and putting green's at the golf
courses around Washington had to be
cut several times just prior to Thanks
giving. Today the fairways and greens
are in exceptionally fine condition
after a rain of three days that has
brought out the grass. At nearly all
the clubs the grass has grown so fast
during the past week that 1t has been
necessary to cut fairways and putting
greens--a very unusual occurrence
about Washington during the late Fall.
Rock Creek Parks "oily boids" fin
ally have stopped playing in their reg
ular tournaments. Undaunted by cold
and windy weather, they played
through tournaments during the latter
part OF the past Winter, but the late
rising of the sun finally has put stop
to their regular events. The sun does
not rise until around Z o'clock these
mornings and by that time 1t Is too
late for the Government employees who
make up the personnel of the "oily
boids" to play 18 holes and get to the
Office by 8 o'clock.

Chips From the Mapleways
BY Francis E. Stan

IN an event of this kind one guess
weight must be attached to the pre-
dictions Of this trio, all keen students
of the game
Personally, We like Campbell's proph-
ecy. The Lucky Strike always has been
productive of high scores in Journeys
and this year the Meyer Davis alleys
have been unusually prolific.
And it also may be remembered that
despite that there were no raised cutters
last year and that the now extinct Coli
scum, scene of last years tourney, was
unheated most of the time, Glenn Weld
man rolled 645 to win.
THE prophesies of Campbell, How
L ard and Krauss should not dis
courage even the veriest duffer
for the past Star Journeys have shown
that the star bowlers are trailing to
to the dubs as far as winning the
title Is concerned. Clarence Taft, an
unknown is the holder Of the singles
record of 654.
AS a matter Of fact. Krauss and
Campbell specifically stated that the
stars could not be given more than an
even break at the most what with the
uncertalntles OF the game and the large
field sure to compete
Anybody" to quote Campbell. "is
liable to step out and roll his head off
for fVe games That goes even more
so for the girls, who only roll three
games"
JUDGING from the number of new
feminine faces seen on the drives
this year big increase in the
Wornens section may be expected as
well as a stiff rise in scores.
The high averages held this season
by several local girls have been unprec-
edented in the history of the game.
Again here's the Krauss-CamnbelI-
Howard prediction: 1860 to $40 Should
win"
