OF the country's leading duoS here
tomorrow.
1t opens at the Lucky Strike
at 2:3O and Columbia is the site
OF the concluding round, with a
majority of the entries shooting
the last set at 6 o'clock, and a
Few at 8. Entries will be &C.
cepted at starting time tomor
row.
Believe it or not, Baltimore and
washington may have to share
this championship. At least two
1ntercity alliances will take the
drives, and possibly a third.
Blakeney, Bid Feared
Ed Blakeney. Baltimore's great
finisher, las been hitting it off
with Chester Bid, a Washington
crackerjack, much too well for
the peace Of mind of many star
duos. They are sure to harness
up tomorrow and ule as much of
tavorites to win as any other
entry.
Louie Pantos, leading Greek
shooter of the District, is sched.
uled to take the mapleways

twosome to get along with? ASK

couple in running made up from
Julian yesterday. Pick Scible,

Askew, Barnes Out
Baltimore'S great team, Yves
Askew and Ray Barnes, will be
unable to roll They got them
selves promised out for a match
at Richmond for tomorrow some
two months ago and haven t
been able to get out of it. This
unfortunate situation (unfortu-
nate for Askew and Barnes) is
greeted with no little pleasure
by the rest of the fled. With
Askew and Barnes in Richmond,
one more money place is assured
to some other combination.
1t will be a glittering iield
which will pitch the cannon
balls" at the little NAPLES to-
morrow, and the uncertainty of
the final victors adds Glamour
= to the event.
Who will wear the first major
doubles crown in the history of
duckpins? For all you know, it
may be two of your boy friends
whom you didn't think had a
chance.
AS has been said before, dcu-
bles is one branch of duckpins
in which temperament counts
far more than averages.

TWENTY DOUBLES EXPECTED TO ROLL 70
CLAIMS HUMAN
WILL RUN MILE
IN 400 FLAT
BY HARRY COSTELLO


minutes flat!
Sounds like an absurdity, but
no less a parsonage than Boyd
Comstock, of the Los Angeles A.
c., one Of the greatest of modern
track coaches, predicts that Gene
Venzke, Pottstown, Pa, schoolboy
phenom. will do it..
No more than Comstock's pre-
diction is made than word comes
from Karuchi, India, that Gulzar
Ahmed, member of the Baluch
regiment, has up and knocked off
mile in 4:08.4 as against Jules
Ladoumegue's 4:092, made in
France, and Venzke's 4:10 made
in this country.
Different CIOcking
Followers of track athletics in
this country pay little or no at
tention to the marks supposed
to have been established by
Ahmed and Ladoumegue. They
point out that clocking here and
in France and India are two diff
ferent things - three different
things, as a matter of fact. They
insist that Frances clocking is
not so hot, while India's is really
altogether too slow.
The sensational performance of
Venzke had no more than been
recorded than along came Nor
wood PenroSe Hallowell, jr., of
Harvard, to dash off a mile in
4:12 2-5 to win the event at the
recent intercollegiate meet in New
York. Coupling Hallowell's 4:12 2-5
mile with the 4:13, Ala and AIS
miles of Leo Lermond, Frank
Crowley, Carl Coan and George
BullWinkle, one find that the
good old U. S. A. is going to
have quite a scrap at The Olym-
pic tryouts to qualify three Ameri-
cans out of Venzke, Hallowell,
Lermond, Crowley, Coan and Bull
winkle.
1t seems certain that this coun-
try will have three milers in that
Olympic 1,500-meter event at Los
Angeles in August who will make
Ahmed and Ladoumegue prove
those 1904 and 1902 marks.
Positions Wide Open
ApropoS the matter of Amer.
ica's three men for the Olympic
1,500-meter race, nearly everyone
accords Venzke position. How
ever, the other two positions are
very much open, according to the
critics.
Hallowells 4:12 2-5 would seem
to assure him second position,
but the Harvard youth, while
offering this recent sensational
performance, has been more or
less of an in-and-outer. Pitted
against money" runners, such
as Lermond and Coan, there is
somewhat of a question that
Hallowell will succeed in the
Olympic tryoutS. Lermond is
always dangerous, but hardly
more so than Coan, and possibly
no more so than Crowley or Bull
winkle.
Better Than Nurmi?
Boyd Comstock, in predicting
a 400 flat mile by Venzke,
pointed out that the great school
boy "iS the most perfect runner
of all time. and Paavo Nurmi,
the great Finn, was never the
runner that Venzke is.' Boyd
opined that Venzke, in his 4:1O
effort, used only one-third, one
half at most, of, his reserve
energy.
Putting all the foregoing facts
and dope together, one can easily
understand why the track world
persists in talking about and
anticipating the 1,50O-meter event
at the Los Angeles Olympic
games in August.

q. S. AUTOS WEAR STATE TAG
1882 Delaware License Plates For
Fort DUPONT i'm 1882

Beginning January / all auto
mobiles at Fort DUPONT will be re-
quired to use Delaware State lie
ense tags, it was learned last
week. This completely reverses a
ruling made by the Automobile
Vehicle Department of Delaware
at beginning of 1881 which per
mitted all Fort DUPONT cars to car
ry government licenses only. is
sued in the name Of Fort dupont.
Beginning March /, 1882, all auto
mobile operators at Fort DUPONT
will also be required to secure Del
aware operators licenses. This
year automobile owners at the fort
used only government operators
licenses. Over 100 automobile driv-
ers at the fort are affected by the
new ruling, it is said. 1881 is the
only year in which Fort dupont
car owners were permitted to use
government tags, exclusively. In
other years, as in 1882, Delaware
licenses, both for cars and opera
tors, were required. Last year of
ficers at Fort DUPONT protested
against buying Delaware license
plates, alleging that Fort DUPONT
is a Federal reservation and that
Delaware does not have jurisdic-
ton there. The Automobile We
hicle Department of Delaware
granted the appeal and it was rul-
ed that for 1881 State tags would
not be required on Fort DUPONT
cars. The reversal of this ruling
for 1882 is laid to the many abus-
es which are said to have arisen
from the concession to Fort du-
Pont. 1t is said that the Federal
license tags were not confined to
government cars and trucks but
were used by private individuals.
It is pointed out that according to
the treaty between Delaware and
the United States the State sur
rendered all sovereignty over the
Fort DUPONT reservation and it
was on this clause that Fort du-
Pont men last year based their
claim that State tags were not
necessary for cars at the Fort due
to Delaware's lack of jurisdiction.
The ruling requiring Fort DUPONT
cars to carry Delaware licenses
was issued by the Secretary of
Sttae's office at Dover. 1t is said
that many at the fort have already
complied with this order and have
purchased the 1882 plates.
