BLAKENEY AT LAST
WINS A BIC STAKE
New Potomac Champion
Near Top Many Times
Before Crashing Over.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN.

~ ESPECTACLED Ed Blakeney
X OF Baltimore has carried to
- the Monumental City one
Of Washington's pet bowl
ing events, the Potomac Sweep
stakes, but in sharp contrast to
the anti-Baltimore feeling that
pervaded the ranks of the Capt.
tails pin stars during the Howard
Campbell Sweepstakes were the
well wishes given Blakeney Satur-
day.
Possibly no more popular victory
could have been forthcoming In the Po-
tomac Stakes. 1t was q signal triumph
for Blakeney after a season-long quest
of sweepstakes victory.
And that seaSon-long quest, fruitleSs
as 1t had been, may comprise the most
brilliant stakes record in the country.
Personally there was nothing against
Blakeney when he went into the final
block of the Campbell Stakes, earlier
this Winter, in the lead, but the mere
thought that an out-of-town bowler,
although he was eligible because he
rolls with a District League team, ap-
pdIcIlLAy Was on Ills way 10 Victory IN
WashingtonS premier stakes had local
bowlers pulling against the Ogiole.
Mr.. Blakeney of the hnRn-rimmed
glasses was beaten by one duckpin and
1t cost him about $500, counting the
diamond-Studded medal.
THEN he travelled to Hagerstown,
l. Md, TO roll in the Cumberland
Valley Sweepstakes and finished
third, missing by only a few sticks.
Two days later he finished 27 pins
out of the money In another local
event, the George Washington Sweep
stakes.
Then 1t was recalled that he finished
fourth in the Eastern Sweepstakes and
missed the money in the United States
Stakes by only 81 sticks.
So Ed was popular both before and
after the Potomac Stakes with the re-
pentant bowling citizens Of Washing
ton, who were glad to see the brides
maid" finally become bride"
RLAKENEY's sweepstakes record this
- season Is rather remarkable.
In the six major sweepstakes
National. George Washington, Howard
Campbell. Potomac, Eastern and Cum
berland Valley-he has averaged well
over 124. His lowest 15-game set was
l,794.
Which should kill that reputation he
carried as the most inconsistent bowl
ing star in the East.

Pointers on Golf

George Voigt has one Of the
smoothest putting strokes we have
seen. Voigt, like all good putters,
grips his club so that his wrists op-
pose each other; that is, the back Of
his left hand and the palm Of his
right face the cup. His stance Is
slightly open, his body leans well
over and there is bit more weight
on his left leg than on his right.
Voigt doesn't point his elbows out

so that the line through them
parallels the line of the putt. But
he does rest his right forearm light
ly on his right leg.
This latter point is important in
putting, whereas the other positions
that make up this style, other than
the placement of his hands on the
grip, do not matter so greatly
Most good putters lightly rest the
right forearm on the leg, as does
Voigt. 1t helps considerable In
steadying the arms, in keeping them
from wobbling off line, as they will
do unless care of this kind is exer-
cised. Throbbing nerves, high
winds and beating rains are factors
a good golfer must consider. Each
tends to cause him to sway. This
little brace of the arms tends to
prevent this forward and backward
sway. Good putters use it. When
they don't, putting becomes most
erratic.
Putting is half the game. A

All OF this series of pictorial panels were

As their own particular tribute the National
Sculpture Society has assembled a group of
representative works by members, which
shown in the great hall, in the rOtunda and
on the steps of the main entrance facing the
Mall. OF supreme prominence is Q replica OF
the statue of Washington by J. G. A. Ward.
the original of which has long stood on the
steps of the Subtreasury in New York City.
1t is understood that although the present
statue is but a plaster cast, 1t Is eventually
to he replaced by the same work in bronze.
On these same steps, guarding, as it were, the
entrance, now to be seen lions of heroic
size and great dignity by Anna Hyatt Hunt

dare Is on Riverside Drive in New York and
her equestrian OF the Cyd in Madrid These
lions, sitting with heads upheld like great cats
though somewhat eouventionalized make su-
perb decorative features for this or any other
membered. has won a reputation a sculptor
by her representation OF animals and among
her best known small bronzes is one Of a
'Yawning Tiger"
The place of honor in the rotInda has been
given to Paul Bartlett's magnificent statue of
Lafayette, plaster cast of the work contrib
uted by school children of America to France
and beautifully placed in of the public
squares in Paris. Grouped about this in the
rotunda are notable standing figures, one OF
Jefferson. one of Hamilton. one OF Left Ericsson,
the last by A. Stirling Calder lately finished
and awarded a gold medal by the Architectural
League of New York.
Smaller bronzes are in the gallery and include
works by Paul ManShip. Mahonri Young Roth,
