w WITH action suspended for to-

" v ment, the center of bowling
interest will shift from the
Lucky Strike to Northeast Temple
where the prides of Connecticut, Frank
Bsrber'S Blue Ribbons, will oppose a
representative all-Star Washington duck
pin quint organized by Red Megaw
in a flve-game team match, starting at
$50 o'clock.
Lew Hopfenmaiers National Pale
Drys proved incapable OF checking the
sensational New Englanders last night
when the latter set a new all-time
world record with team set of 3,l74,
but the Washington All-Stars, cap
tanned by Red Megaw, figure to give
ConnecticutS pin wizards sterner COM
petition The local team has been
chosen from the best of the city's
sharpshooters. Red Megaw, probably
the greatest lead-off bowler of all time,
will roll first; Hokie Smith will follow,
Earl McPhilomy will be next, and Brad
Mandley and Ollie Pacini will wind up.
Although Washington took a bad
beating from the invaders yesterday,
losing the singles, doubles and the team
matches, the local all-StarS are conf
dent of turning the tables tonight. Both
Red MegaW and Ollie Pacini gave evil
dence of being in top form last night
when they came within eight pins of
breaking the world doubles record in
SWamping the national championship
duo of Paul Harrison and Eddie Espey,
1904 to 1,195. Megaw rolled 655 and
Pacini SAG.
A MOTHER standout duckpin battle
n was to have been rolled at
o'clock this afternoon at the
Lucky Strike when four crack doubles
teams, representing Washington, Balti-
more, Connecticut and HyattSville, were
to oppose.
Henry and Oscar Hiser were to rep
resent HyattSville George Lang and
Bill Hamilton, Baltimore; Earl McPhil-
omy and Ollie Pacini, Washington, and
Jack White and Bill Tato, Connecticut.
THERE is little doubt in the minds
l. of nearly every one who witnessed
Yesterdays matches that Nick
TronSky is just about the best duckpin
bowler in the country. Unknown to
many who failed to see all of yeSter-
days battles, Tronsky smashed the all
time world record for Is games, when
his combined singles and two doubles
totals gave him score of 1873 for IS
strings. Ihe former record was mace
by Barney Spinella of Brooklyn in 1926,
when he shot ,916 at Convention Hall.
TronSky started the day by trimming
Astor Clarke in the singles, 656 to 618
He did not participate in the doubles
match, in which Jack White and Bill
Tato of the invaders drubOed Max
Rosenberg and Brad Mandley, 1858 to
iii, but his team set was 664. He
ended the nights activities by pound
ing out 659 total while rolling in an
added doubles match with Tato against
Rosenberg and Mandley.

goes to Baltimore. The Phillies have
taken on Scarritt, who is presumed to
be faster than Arlett Hargrove, an
unknown pitcher, has been added.
THE chief addition to the Pittsburgh
l. team is new manager, George
Gibson. The players who have
been sent elsewhere are Steinecke and
Sankey, both of whom have given
promise.
st. Louis has fed itself with some ra-
tions from its farms and has sent High,
Grimes and Roettger away. The Car
dinaS have Teachout and Wilson from
the Cubs and thus early both are an
nounced as sure sensations in 1882.
In the American League the Boston
Red Sox no longer number CASTOR
among their losing pitchers. and have
sent Reeves, who came to them from
Washington, to another club. Smith
and Winsett have gone. The Red Sox
have taken on Michaels and Weiland,
two left-hand pitchers.
The Chicago Americans sent Garland,
Garrity, Goff, Jeffries, Kerr, Norman,
REYNOLDS, Wehde and Weiland away,
after they had made their reservations
for the year, and they added Sam Jones,
Hadley. Hayes, CASTOR and Anderson.
Cleveland, like Brooklyn has stood
around and talked and traded chewing
gum, but player changes are prominent
by their absence.
DETROIT has sent Doljack else
~ where, as well as Hughes and
Walker, and has again signed
Stanley Harris as manager.
The reserved list Of the Yankees has
not been changed much. Reese has been
sent to st. Paul to pay for Saltzgaver.
No change in the Athletics since Con-
ME Mack permitted many of the smaller
fry to go out West for the next season.
The st. Louis Browns have sent
Braxton to Milwaukee and have per-
mitted Crouch, Stanton and stiles to
depart. They have so few players that
their salary list will not overwhelm
them in 1882.
Washington has said good-by to Had
ley, Hayes and Sam Jones, and added
Kerr and Reynolds from Chicago.
Make these changes on your original
reserve list as it was given out some
time ago, and then you will be ready to
sit in with the Hot-Stove League and
pick out the winners for 1882. But there
are other trades in the air, and when
the February meetings of the majors
are held there may be more shifts and
more fodder for the boys who love to
pick 'em out" before the base ball sea-

~ URING the course of the
hundreds of thousands of
~ rounds of golf that have
been played over the four
courses in East Potomac Park,
where a large slice of Washing
tons public links golfers pursue
the wayward pill from dawn to
dusk on any good day, most of the
holes have been played in eagles,
and doubtless there have been a
few of those rare holes played in
3 better than par.
But Al Farr, the genial gent, who
has presided over the deStinies of golf
at East Potomac Park for seven or
eight years and has seen 'em all come
and go, from President Harding down,
claims that none of the three courses
in the dOWn-river park has an all-time
record of better than 81 strokes. Un-
doubtedly Al has overlooked a bet here
and there, but it hasn't been because
he was not willing to listen. Listening
Is Fairs long suit, as it must be the
forte Of any man who would be sue
ceSsful golf course manager. For COLTS
secondary charm, in case you don't
know it, is the recapitulation Of the
round. AL Jolson called it the "hoof-
and-mouth disease because they "hoof

DE that as it may and notwithstand-

some spots along the line of play
better scores have been made than those
which In hn oF
in charge Of the public courses at East
Potomac Park. Farr rises to remark
that the all-time record for Course A,
the first course in the park, is 81
strokes, and the all-time records for
Courses G and are % each. He
freely admits that he may not have
heard of some unusual shots which re-
suited in freak scores and that some
may have slipped his memory. And
both Farr and The Star would appre-
ciate checking up by any player who
has made score which brings down
the all-tfme record for any of the three
courses. A and C courses are reversi-
ble-that is, they may be played from
either direction. Course A goes down
on the east side of Potomac Park and
comes back on the west, and Course @
plays in the same reversible fashion.
Course z is not reversible course, nor
is the new nine-hole layout that was
opened last May.
Here is the way the all-time record
for the three courses in East Potomac
Park shapes up, according to the best
available records:
Course A
No. 1-283 yards, par 4, made in
strokes by Harry Pitt.
No. 2-134 yards, par 8, made in
by Bill Mcclure.
No. 3-376 yards, par 4, made in 8.
No. 4-427 yards, par 4, made in 8.
No. 5-215 yards, par 3, made In by
Harry Dorsey and others.
No. 6-185 yards, par 3, made in
several times.
No. 7-538 yards, par S, made in 4
many times.
No. 8-4O5 yards, par 4. made in
many times.
No. 9-343 yards, par 4, made in
many times.
This gives a total of 81 strokes for
the Oldest course in the park, which is
IA strokes under par for the layout.
Undoubtedly this mark has been bet
tered and not reported, and Farr would
appreciate it If he had the revised
scores.

taken back to a position that makes
this possible. Willie Macfarlane, here
sketched, accomplishes this-as does
every sound golfer-by taking the
clubhead back with a straight left
arm. 1t is really pushed back with
this arm.
Try taking your clubhead back this
way. You'll find that it gradually
swings inside the intended line of
flight of the ball. Also you will dis
cover that if you push it back your
backswing will be made slowly

 SHOW FOOTBALL AS
 POOR BODY BUILDER
----ByPap

LINCOLN, Neb, Sept. 2.--A5 an all-around body developer football ranks well toward the bottom in the list of sports and exercises.
 This conclusion is reached by J. E. Martie, director of physical edu- cation at the University of Nebras- ka, after a comprehensive survey.
 Martie took 28 measurements Of each freshman and sophomore be- fore and after course of exercise, to determine the actual changes in height. weight, girth, shoulder and hip breadth, chest expansion, pull ing strength of arms, back and legs, lung capacity and endurance.
 The ac t tivi ies included mass games, calisthenics, mat work and tumbling, heavy apparatus work, football, basketball, track and ten- his.
 The greatest improvement was found in those who entered the mat work and tumbling classes. Tennis rated next as a body de- veloper, while football ranked first only in the matter of building en- durance, in which department bas- ketball was a close second.

 Beverly has, four par-five holes but not one of them is likely to be reached by even the longest hit ters with two full wooden shots. The shortest measures 545 yards.
 There are five par-three holes but the expert MT. Arthur Sweet of Chicago tells me this isn't so simple as it sounds. One of them for example, the third, is 228 yards to tightly trapped green.

Out of the Hat
 It may be just as safe as any other way to draw out of hat for the winner of the last of the big golfing crowns discarded by Bobby Jones.
 There won't be an outstanding favorite in the field of l50 or more starters at Beverly, August 31.
 Only five of the quarter final ists of 1880 will be on hand and only two of the semi finalists, big Charley Seaver of Los Angeles and Gene Romans of Englewood, N. J.
 George Von Elm is out of the amateur picture. Jess Sweetser de- clined the issue. Don Moe. the Western champion didn't qualify.
 On the basis of the sectional qualifying competition, something should be heard from John Good man, the Omaha sharpshooter. The more or less "oid guard in- cludes Jimmy" Johnston and pr. Oscar Willing, the 1929 finalist; :, Francis Ouimet, Chich Evans, Jesse Guilford and Max Marston, who won the title at Flossmoor, Chi cago, in 1923. George Voight and T.
