Merge, however, evened the count
by shooting one from the foul
line, tying it at 1888.
Hargaden delivered two points
to the Hoyas through two per-
feet tries from the foul line.
Then Corliss, who has a habit of
coming through in the pinches,
sealed it up by registering with
pot-shot from side court.
Thereafter, Hargaden, for G. U.
and Ryscavage, for w. NJ, each
scored a point for his respective
team and the final count was

Brown replaced Augusterfer and

scoring honors with total of II
points.
Slow to get under wav. C. U.

The visitors did not score a field

and both by Ben Novey, States

Georgetown and G. U. were re-
turned winners IN last nights con-
tests, the Hoyas encountering Sc
we're opposition from Western
Maryland before winning, 38 "a,
while C. U. won with ease over
Maryland State Normal, Sill.
G.. w. on Tuesday night scored
a 1927 win over Shenandoah Col
lege.
1t was a rough and ready out
fit of Green Terrors from West
minister who last night gave
Georgetown such a great battle.
AS the game started, it seemed
the Hoyas were about to register
a swamp over the visitors.
Took Long Lead
Georgetown went to an 11-to-1
lead in the first half, and worked
this up to an advantage of 25 to
II by the end of the half.
Midway in the final half the
game developed into a real battle.
To start the second half, Par
cells dropped a goal in. Shortly
after, the Terrors started. In
quick succession goals were regis
tered by Kaplan, Merge, Ryscav-
age, Merge twice and Ryscavage
again.
The Terrors we're moving along
at a rapid pace. Bill Shepherd
added a couple of fouls. Before
Georgetown knew it, the Terrors
were on top, 1921. Georgetown's
supporters-some 500 of 'em-
were worried sick. The HoyaS,
somewhat stricken by injuries,
looked due for a trimming.
Hargaden, CorlisS Score
But Georgetown got down to
the business at hand. After get,

HOUGH7ON AIMS
At GOLF COIN

AL Houghton, professional at
the KenWood Golf and Country
Club, was in a favorable position
as the fourth and final 18 holes
of the 72-hole $500 "Bombers"
division of the Miami-Biltmore
open golf tournament was being
played today.
Houghton was eight strokes to
the rear of the pace-setters, Mike
Turnesa, Elmsford, N. Y. and
Abe Espinosa, Chicago veteran,
who had carded 219 for 81 holes.
Scoring 76 yesterday, Houghton
stands at the three-quarter mark
with 227.
Between Houghton and the
leaders stood Orville White, st.
Louis, 220; Olin Dutra, national
open champion, 222; Maurice
O'Connor, Belleville, N. j., 225;
Phil Perkins, Cleveland, 226, and
Bobby Cruickshank, Richmond,
Va, 226. Houghton was tied with
Johnny Farrell, Horton Smith,
Gene Kunes, Tommy Armour,
Willie Macfarlane and Frank
Walsh for eighth position. A
round approximating par today
would reward Houghton with
something more than expense
money.
Only a grand recovery by Mel
Shorey, East Potomac Park pro,
would sweep into the payoff group
in the $4,000 Pursuit" Division.
Shorey, who carded 80 yesterday,
stands 28th with a 54-hole total
of 234. Bob Barnett, Chevy
Chase pro, is definitely out of the
running, although he counted 81
for this third round.

PERFECT BALANCE is as necessary
to successful bowling as to good golfing
or basketball playing. Paulie Harrison,
Arcadia's youthful bowling ace, and noted
for his perfect form on the duckpin
drives, illustrates the second and third
position in perfect delivery. Notice that
in both cases Paulie is perfectly balanced.
HIS feet retain the same position through
out his slide, UP on right toes with left
foot flat; in the meantime his left arm
swings back to balance the forward
swing Of his right arm. Both arms are

shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand rigid.
In the first illustration the arm is about
to pass about an inch from Paulie's leg.
The second illustration shows Harrison
about to release the ball on it's mission
of destruction. A strike is imminent.
Notice how he retains the same hold on
the ball throughout his swing. He de-

They are the eight ostensble of clubs in the

But am doing little thinking about gentleman

beloved of the American League who was sort of
inferno at the birth of the infant league of 1901.
The Washington times., 1934-12-13

dation of the sport.
The nearest next to Griff, to
the scene of the pioneering days
Of the American League was
probably Tom Shibe, whose
brother Ben Shibe was the first
president of the Philadelphia
Athletics. All the others, but
Griff, are later comers to the
sport, some of them very recent,
such as Tom Yawkey, the 40
year-old Michigan millionaire,
transplanted to Boston.
Inherits His Interest
Louis Comiskey, the middle
aged and portly president of
the White Sox, is sort of heir
apparent to baseball, his dis
tinguished father, the la tie
Charles A. Comiskey having
been the first president and
organizer of the famous Pale
Hose of other days. He was
affectionately called "The Old
Roman" by his fellows in the
early history of the league, be-
cause he was such a fighter for
his convictions.
And what does all of the anal
ogy lead to?
It leads to this.
That I believe few Washing
tonians, accustomed to seeing
Clark Griffith move in his quiet,
but cocky way around his own
ball-yard and accustomed also
to his presence at stays and
smokers and get-togethers in
Washington, realize how much
the American League leans on
him for counsel and guidance.
Here is the oldest head in th'
younger circuit and, being thu
nestor of the league, particularly
when Connie Mack is in Siam anc
points East Clark Griffith's wore
goes a long way in any discus
sions, proposals, disputes or de
bates.

They all may have their say III

and the questions and proposals
may wax warm and tense, but il
the final analysis the cool. level
headed opinion of Clark Griffith
who has both vision and expert

made.
Here in Washington I am afrait
we become used to looking upol
Griff as the head of the bal
Club-rather than an overWhelm
ing influence in the conduct o
what many are prone to call tn
national pastime.
Even over in the Nationa

is of tremendous Importance, TO
he was once a National League
in his own right, and there is onl

The first unit in the 81 900, 900

The organization will take over

population will be attempted.
Nothing will be given away. Sar-
gent said Everything must be paid
for in work, cash or goods in kind.
The various community groups
will exchange their products with
each other. Thus the coast fishermen
will exchange fish for AroStook pota-

is TO be given in home management,
