Since the event wan inaugurated, in
1928, the average of the winning girl
has jumped five points per year. Last
year it was 119.
Most bowling observers are of the
opinion that 119 was the peak and that
a pace of less than this will prove
enough to earn first prize, which, Bill

~ Greater Washington Handicap
Sweepstakes will have little oc-
casion to feel like "saps," for due to the
thoughtfulness Of John S. Blick, who is
promoting the event which opens Satur-
day, each entrant not only is placed on
the nearest to an even footing as pos
sible with the rest Of the field, but he
has an even chance Of getting at least
his entry fee money back without plac-
ing among the 10 winners.
Blick, in completing plans for the
sweepstakes. planned the prize list so
as to enable as many pinmen as possible
to cash in.
The highest 10 will divide the prize
total, but, in addition. Blick has made
it possible for bowler to squirt only
once to receive compensation by do
mating four SIS prizes on each of the
three Saturdays to the bowlers rolling
the high game, high set, most spares
and most strikes.

stakes in the city.
Blick announced that entries would

HOLE 3 UNDER PAR

BY w. r. McCALLUM.

w YE'VE had brides and
M eagles and all sorts of
Y Y feathered beauties on
the golf course, with an
occasional buzzard thrown in for
good measure. Brides, you will
recall, are holes scored in one
stroke better than par. Eagles are
holes two under par and buzzards

But what would you call q hole
played in three strokes better
than par?
None of the professionals around
Washington seem to know Just what
designation this would take, for, what
ever they are called, they are rare
brides indeed. Only once a year or
so is a hole scored in three strokes
better than par, and by that time every
one has forgotten the name of the
animal.

Luther Steward. jr., the new Congress
sional Country Club champion, is the
focal point around which all this busi-
ness of conjecture hinges, for Steward
has just played the long fifth hole at
Congressional in two strokes. or three
better than par. And If you think that
isn't some stunt, try and get on the
green at that fifth hole in two strokes.
The hole measures 498 yards in
length, which is close enough to 500
yards to make it real test of two
shots from tee to green. Yet Steward
poled out a lengthy Wallop from the
tee which went far down the hill toward
the green and then, taking No. iron
from his bag, proceeded to hole the
ball for the deuce. His partner was
M. Parker Nolan and his opponents
were Joseph Lynch and Louis Fisher,
both of Georgetown University.
Some years back Fred Mcleod holed
a brassie shot for deuce on the par
twelfth hole at Columbia, which raised
some question at that time as to what
the score should be called, If holes one
under par are brides and holes two I'M
der par are eagles. Probably "dodo" is
the correct name. In any event, they
are rare birds and do not come more
than once in lifetime to any golfer.
Nolan himself secured an eagle on
the long eighth hole at Congressional

When the annual tenpin tournament
was abolished last year, the ice-lligging
boys decided to roll duckpins. It was
argued that the big sticks and 16 to 20
pound balls were out Of style here and
that the city's other ITO leagues rolled
duckpins, and, there being no incentive
in the shape of trip to the big pin
tourney, the loop would do well to
change.
Until last night the icemen struggled
with the comparatively baby balls and
pins. Then last night Monk Fraser, at

balls. The icemen had gone tenpin-
minded again.
But it cost the league four teams.
When duckpins were used 10 teams
competed. Only six now are rolling the

HUGE 1881 OUTLAY
FOR HIGHWAY WORK
Over So, 500, 900, 900 Likely
to BE Expended in U. S.
During Current Year.

Construction and improvement of
streets and highways in the United
States during the current year are ex-
pected to involve total expenditure Of
more than $500, 900, a new high
record and comparable with an aggre-
gate of s., 200, 900, 900 in 1880, the Bank
of America N. A. points out in 3 COM
mentary on the situation. OF the total
expenditure for 1881, 10 is estimated
that about $40 ZOO, 900 win be spent
by the State highway departments;
sos, 900, 900 by the Federal Government
including the regular appropriation of
$125,000,000 and a special appropriation
of $80,000,000 additional; S875,000,000
by cities and approximately 5000, 000, 900
by counties. These items, totaling
81, $50 900 600, do not take into account

COTTON SPINNING
INDUSTRY GAINING
Substantial Improvement Is
Noted as Price of Raw
Material Advances.
Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispa tch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 1.-THE de-
mand for cotton goods continues to
show substantial improvement" says
the Brookmire Economic Service. THE
price of raw cotton has definitely
passed bottom and constitutes an
outstanding strong spot in the COM
modify situation. The cotton spinning
industry made much more than
seasonal advance in January and is
now operating at a higher rate than
at any time since last August. 1t
is our opinion that this important
industry has turned the corner. And
it should be noted that in past de-
pressions the textile industry has been
one of the first to recover.
Another favorable item Is the I'M
provement in residential building. Con-
struction of this type has been at a
very low level during the past year.
Contracts awarded for the first three
weeks of February show substantially
more than a seasonal expansion. For
many weeks now we have been men,
tioning the possibility of a turn in
residential construction. 1t may be
starting now.
There is still surplus of space in
commercial and industrial buildings.
Construction of this type cannot be
CAPCCbC0 W cAAOW improvement oAAS
near future. But sufficient deflation
has taken place to give rise to hope
that the decline may be over. 1t
follows that substantial increase
in residential construction may be
sufficient TO turn the trend of the
entire building industry upward. Con-
firmation of a turn in building will
be a favorable factor of far-reaching
importance.
steel mills and automobile plants
are continuing a gradual improvement.
Automobile dealers are not burdened
with heavy inventories of unsold cars.
Any increases in retail sales of auto
mobiles will be Immediately reflected
in the manufacturing operations. This
is another industry which has passed
bottom.
''Carloadings and the production OF
electrical energy continue at very low
levels, indicating the absence of broad
improvement in industrial operations.
It is our opinion, however, that both
these factors have reached their
approximate lows. After some hesi-
tation around present levels they can
be expected to advance, along with
gradual improvement in general bust
ness operations.
THE constant development by the
electric power industry of new uses
for power by household consumers
has been highly important factor
in the ability of the industry to main
tain earnings"

TRADE EXPANSION
CONTINUES SLOW
Foreign Developments Held More
DISQUALIFICATION and Textiles
Improve.
Special Dispatch to The star.

NEW YORK, March 7.-Signs of
Spring are more striking in foreign than
domestic news. Strengthening of COM
modify and security markets, slight de-
clines in unemployment in Britain and
Germany may be mainly seasonal symp-
toms, but the naval agreement, the
promise of peace in India, the many
sided moves toward opening long-term
capital markets in Europe are funda-
mentally constructive factors making for
revival Of confidence now the crux of
recovery. To these. domestic develop
ments have added little beside the relief
from congressional chaos, says the
Business Week in its report covering the
week ending March Z.
Business activity has shown at the
most only a feeble seasonal expansion.
The index has drifted downward
through February, and for the week
ended February % settled at TIA per
cent of normal, only little above the
low point of December This compares
with 77.8 per cent in the preceding week
and 95.4 per cent in the corresponding
week last year.
Commodity prices are still sagging,
even seasonal credit expansion is lag
ging, and Spring stock market enthus-
iasm is tagging. Cotton and textiles
are the brightest spot in the picture.
Adjournment of Congress till December
leaves business, bankers and Govern
ment TO their own devices.
