nr|VARFILA DEFENDS GOAL AMID SPLASHING
RICE, BLUEGE
BOWL IN
LOOPS
BY SID KATZNELL

Washington has the unique dis
tinction Of having two major
league ball players participating
in its bowling leagues. They are
Sam Rice, former Griff outfielder,
and Ossie Bluege, present hot cor
ner guardian of the Griffmen.
Sam is a star duckpinner on
the Wash B. Williams team in the
Decatur Heights League, while
Oswald rolls with the St. Johns
outfit in the Masonic League.
Wins Times Prize
Last week Rice turned in a huge
174 game to cop second prize in
the Washington Times Duckpln
high game contest.
George Lincoln Isemann, eXecu-
tive secretary of the National
Bowling Duckpin Congress says
that Rice could be one of the
finest bowlers in the country II
he was more active on the drives.
Bluege is turning in some nice
games for his team in league
competition, but, he is not in the
same class with Rice.
Establishes Records
Russ Spilman, Fairfax Service
team, established two new records
in the Rosslyn Independent
League last night.
Spilman spared in the second
box of first game, and continued
through the tenth box for a 169
string which was one record. Then
he turned in two 119 games for a
407 set, the other season record
Spilman's 1863 game was unusual
inasmuch as he failed to make one
strike.
The powerful bowling of Spill
man aided the Fairfax Service
combination to take the odd game
from BalIston Market. The two
game setback at the hands of
Fairfax and the three-game vic
tory of Wisconsin Motors over
Arlington Trust dropped Ballston
Market into a tie for first place
with the motor contingent. Each
team has won Is games and
lost IA.
Also Bowls Well
While this was going on, Dick
Hall of the Brown Buddies was
also having a grand party. Dick
rolled 1854 in the first game; 129
in the second and 112 in final for
a 405 set. In spite of Halls big
set and games. his team dropped
the odd game to Dickey Company.
Hen" Bromley, veteran Of Is
seasons. showed the younger bowl
ers that he still can throw a mean
bowling ball. His team, Dickey
Bros. tied the Standard Laundry
in the last game. In the roll-off,
Hen came up as anchor man with
his team needing a mark and
three to win. He oblidged by max
ing a spare and needed number
of pins. Standings:

GR|FFMEN TIE
DETROIT IN
FIELDING

The Griffmen may not have
won the pennant in 1884, or made
good showing even, but they tied
the flag champion Detroit Tigers
for fielding honorS.
The official fielding averages
reveal this interesting fact and
it's an odd fact to say the least,
since so many of the teams ace
fielders were out of action on ac
count of injuries a great deal of
the time.
Average .974
The fielding average of the De-
troit Tigers was .974. The Griffs'
record was the same. The Griffs
led in double plays, 167, leading
the Detroit Tigers by IT.
Joe Cronin was the worst fielder
of the Griffs. Leader among the
short-stops in 1888, the new man
ager of the Boston Red SoX, fell
to sixth place in the short-stop
group with an average of .951.
Lyn Larry, the new short-fielder
of the Griffmen, led the players n
this position with an average of
! 1865. Ossie Bluege was actually
the star Griff fielder with an aver
age of .941 as a third sacker, an
average of .789 as short-stop and
an average of 1000 as an out
fielder and second baseman. He
played all of these posts during
the campaign.
Kamm Tops
Willie Kamm, of the Chicago
White Sox, led the third baseman
with mark of .978. Zeke Bo-
nura, Chisox first sacker, led the
initial guardians with .996; oscar
Melillo, st. Louis Browns, was the
best second sacker, with .981;
Rick Ferrell, Boston Red Sox, led
the catchers with 900. and Sam
Byrd, New York Yankees, the out
fielderS with 1898.
Schoolboy Rowe, of the Detroit
Tigers, was the best fielding
pitcher. He accepted SIS chances
in As games without a miscue.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-09-07
By CHARLES PHILIP RILEY


 Bob Duval stared hard and long at the letter in front of him-the letter from Judy Talley which told him that she had made another choice. That was the game of love he had lost.
 He tried to figure 1t out as he sat there in his room before the old desk that ne wrote his stories on. He tried to reason that after all he would be the most selfish person in the world to stand in the way of a girl who could marry another man and receive all the things that he only dreamed of some day provid- ing.
 But the hardest part of 1t all was the thought of what Judy and he had been to each other. Judy was the heroine of his new book.
 Of course, he couldn't compete against a rival who offered such material opposition. After all, Bob Duval only managed a very uncer- tain existence with his writing. He had hopes, / ambitions, like many writers. Perhaps even a little brighter outlook than most. But aspirations were not always speed fly achieved and they went for nothing when it came to furnishing comfort and luxury for girl.
 
 But it did hurt to lose Judy. And it didn't seem entirely fair. He had, Bob measured now, placed too great a confidence in love, and love had taken him for a gay ride.
 For some time after he had fin- ished the brief and final note to Judy he sat at the old escritoire. He had written her simply; noth- ing to cause her any unhappiness over the situation. Judy's happi- ness did seem an important thing to him. He knew that he still loved her and that while he was hurt, savagely hurt, the thing was not to let her know.
 Finally Bob finished the novel. The story he had dreamed of-the book he had often confided to Judy he was so anxious to complete. But finishing the thing didn't seem to hit him with the feeling Bob had expected. He had taken it, very un- expectedly, to Simon & Schwartz, two sagacious publishers, who were always searching for new author. He merely left the manuscript.
 Now, with his book out of the way, and with more time on his hands, dull, lonely weeks passed for Bob.
 He picked up the paper one morning to read paragraph in the society columns that seemed to furnish a climax to it all. It was

 ing with his own.
