The Standing

The end of the fourth week finds the race tightening up bit Ray Lautenschlagcr and his Cowboys" are still holding forth on the up- permost rung, but are being bad- ly threatened by Frank Melons "AircdaIe Tnmers'' and Merritt Potter's ssWildcats," both of whom are in a tie for second place-just one point in back Of the leaders. The Melons took Jack Roberts "Joiners'' to the woOdshed and ad.. ministered Q three point spanking and the s'Wildcats' and clawed up Ed Mclean and his chorus for Q like number. Four of the teams are knotted up in tie for third place, all within shooting distance of the top, so that the next set of games should furnish some fire. works. Thus far the interest dur ing the matches is of high order, there being no doubt that the manifestations of spirit shown by the members of the league Over- shadows that of former years. Yes, we'd say that we are having our most successful season.

The Forecast

 Murphy vs Sullivan - Murphy may win 1.

 The Kicker prize this week was halved by Cy Cross and Milt Hult- man. These boys also tied on the Genlot meal ticket. A coin was tossed to decide who should strad- dle the stool and Cy was declared winner.

 he was on his way to 8 big score

Ray Beardslee, who thinks they should make his home town of Bridgeport the capital of our state, confided to us that this is his fourth season at the pin game and he has about given up hopes of ,roo Iriuu iuf0 fho m avara po class We let Raymond cry on our shoul- from our own experience we found destined to stay in the bowling bushes. Look at the fun you get out of the game, Ray. Again the 100 per cent attend ance was marred by just one ab- sentee. Not so bad but we are still shooting at the 100 mark so let's all get together and push it over the top next bowling night. once again Tom Flanagan was our Chief Twitter about our abil- ity to select the winners. Never mind, Tom, I'm a patient guy and some one of these nights 1t will be lme who says-"I told you so." In order that the members who live out of the village may get an early start to enjoy the holiday, 1t has been decided to call of the games scheduled for Wednesday night. We will resume hOstilities the following Wednesday, Novem- her SOth.

George Sullivan of the Water town Sullvains was appointed a team captain this week. The re- sponsibility of guiding the destinies of a team must have been an added incentive for he outdid all his pre- vious bowling efforts and came through with 357 which made him the head man of the high three parade. Bet the conversation in Dads drug store was cluttered with strikes and spares this week, George.
 Again Si D'Vileskis, the Babe Ruth of tho naples, gets on the prizo list. Although missing out on the high three money he ran one of his strings up to 120, so hls name leads this weeks high single list. What q man!

Lea appeared before the House
Ways and Means Committee and
presented a statement by PreSi-
dent William May Garland and
Secretary Zack j. Farmer, of the
Tenth Olympiad committee, urg-
ing special legislation exempting
the committee from paying any
tax on admission tickets to the
games.
Garner in Line
McAdoo brought the matter to
the attention of Speaker Garner
yesterday and it is understood he
would lend his support to any
movement to bring about the de-
sired exemption.
The statement of the two Olym-
pic officials cited the Internal
Revenue Bureau had heretofore
exempted the corporation from
the payment of income tax. More
than a year ago it advised the
corporation that there would be
no tax upon individual tickets OF
admission to the games if they
were sold at a price not exceed
ing So.
Prices Are Lowest
The statement said:
"The corporation has acted
accordingly in respect to its
ticket prices and, in fact, due
to the non-prOfit and civic
character of the games, the
prices for admission have been
made the lowest in the history
of tn games"
1t noted that all expenditures
of the corporation were being
betrayed at the present time by
public money of the State of
California and the city and county

Golfer Has Overcome Physical Handico
VETERAN
SCORES WELL
ONL|NKS
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON


Physical handicaps are no bar
riers to a golfer if one is deter
mined.
An example is Charlie Williams,
wounded war veteran who ire
quents Rock Greek Park.
Williams averages 85 and some
times turns in a creditable nine
round under 40. He had one such
the other day when he toured
the difficult Rock Creek Park
course in SO, two over par, in
cluding an eagle three on the
par five, fifteenth hole.
Right Arm POwerlesS
This veteran, who has been
playing golf for the last Is years,
is a remarkable study. He has
mastered the game by sticking
to his guns in face OF the great
odds against him.
Williams has mo power what
ever in his right arm nor right
side, having lost his strength IN
that portion of his body when
struck by a shrapnel she'll while
in the front line trenches.
He spent agonizing hours IN
the hospital and it was months
before he was discharged, not a
we'll man by any means. he
worshipped golf, however, and
there burned within that great
desire to learn golf,
Golf Aids Health
He knew, too, that the physi-
clans warned him that fresh air
and sunshine were vital to his
existence. Golf, if not played
excessively, is a mild exercise
and also keeps one outdoors in
the health-giving elements.
So he took himself to the golf
courses at every spare opportun'
ity and today he's a match for
most of the good players at
Rock Creek Park.

Promoter Joe Turner's program
at the Strand Theater tomorrow
night. He indicated his potential
prowess by holding the skillful
Szabo to a. 3O-minute draw two

Szabo has fallen in the eyes
of local wrestling addicts because
of his sour performances here
during the past two months
Once an idol, now he is, booed
the moment he enters the ring.
Szabo, the Butcher Boy" from
Hungary, can't understand this
resentment.
And to make the fans more in
censed, Szabo has turned cave

time, the Hungarian was meek
as a lamb.
Favorites of long standing will
grace the card. The Semi-final
will feature Fred Grobmeier and
Frank Speers, who wore the foot

turning to wrestling. Grobmeier

Just a Little Favor

But perhaps, after all, the
three meandering and other.
wise rowing sports editors who
are now basking somewhere in
Dixie, are justified in this
seemingly rude absence. for
Mister PickenS, the master
mind, at the last full gather.
ing of his committee asked his
associates to evolve a scheme
whereby the two banks of the
Potomac River could be so COM
mercialized that admission
could be charged thereto for a
proposed boat race, say between
the Navy shell and the Olympic
winners.
That, my friends, is no small
order, either for the Potomac
River or any other course which
may come to mind, and while
we have unlimited faith in the
ingenuity of Prof. Pickens as
well as our colleagues in the
sports editing business, we
doubt if the shores of the placid
Potomac can be so confiscated,
even in the name Of George
washington, who was SO IA
miliar with them, to charge ad-
mission thereon and stage O
revenue-producing boat race.
But such is the type of prob
lem that almost daily is laid at
the doorstep of your ordinary
sports editor, so it is plain to
see how qualified one really
must be in order to cope with
the demands of the profession.

tinued, "Thy're the type Of
pitchers who have it in 'em to

down here this year."
In Weaver's case it is almost a
foregone conclusion that he will
make the grade as a big league

he continues to impress as he has
