an excellent job in backing thin up.

Scrivener, not yet 20 years OF

FACE TEMPLE
ALL-STAR
LINEUP
By GINO SINH

The team which baSks in the
glow Of the official duckpin cham
pionship of the United States
will sweep into the Capital Sat-
urday rarin' to go.
1t is the Connecticut Yankees,
from Stratford, Conn.,, who last
March, in Baltimore, chalked up
a 1943 score to top approximately
100 of the country's premier
teams in the National Duckpin
Bowling Congress seventh annual
tournament.
The Yankees will tangle with
the Northeast Temple Au-Stars at
Temple in team, double and
singles. The doubles and singles
will probably be rolled in the af-
ternoon, with the team match at
night.
AS far as can be ascertained
the same lineup which won the
National title will swing into
action. That lineup, from lead
off to anchor, is William Will
liams, Steve Somers, Eppie Sinner,
Joe LaMastra and Tony lama
rome. Lou Dewey is the sub.
Big Shots
LaMastra with 432 and Will
liams with 407 were the big shots
in bringing home the bacon, but
they were ably assisted by
Somers, Sinner and Iannarone,
all of whom turned in sets not
far under the 400 figure. The
team had games of 628, $40, GAS.
Ollie Pacini, captain of the
local aggregation, has enlisted
the services Of Eddie Espey and
Perce Wolfe, to reinforce his
all-star team of "Hokie" Smith.
Frank Mischou, George Honey
and himself.
Just who will roll the doubles
for Temple remains an uncer.
tainty. Pacini has three thorough
ly seasoned doubles available.
Pacini and Smith have turned
in some notable victories as a
twosome and Espey and Smith
have given a good account OF
themselves on several occasions.
Mischou and Pacini have also
rolled excellent scores in double
harness.
Singles Opponents
There is no doubt that Pacini
will hook up with 1annarone in
the singles. The Connecticut
Italian made great impression
here last year as a head-to-head
shooter when he lost last box
decision to Joe Harrison, Occi-
dental Restaurant ace, in one Of
the greatest singles battles ever
witnessed in the District. Pacini
prefers singles to any other form
lof duckpin competition and
boasts an enviable record.
Local fans are looking forward
to the next visit Of Wally Pipp,
Hartford (ConnO sensational per.
former, who appeared here Satur.
day with the Morgan.Wetmor
All-Stars. Though Pipp did moth.
ing spectacular in that match, he
served notice of his true power
when he finished off with a $50
game in the singles against
Astor Clarke, though Clarke won
by 26 pins.

Of August, when the intense heat
drives many from the courses.
TomorroW'S competition will be
a "hole-in-one" tournament, with
Chevy ChaSe's champion first team
playing host to the nine other
teams that participated in the

one shot, according to present

caps over 10 will tee off at the
tenth, which measures 1856 yards.
Following this competition, the
contestants will engage in an 18-

ment.
Howard Nordlinger today had
won the championship at the
Woodmont Country Club for the
eighth time in IL years, which is
record perhaps unparalleled in
local golf history. Nordlinger, de-
Tending titleholder, defeated Nor
ris Goldstein, 3 and 2, in the
final round yesterday. Nordlin-
ger entered the final when Will
liam G. Illch defaulted owing to
the death of the latter'S mother.
Nordlinger first had his name
inscribed on the Morton j. Luchs
trophy, emblematic of the club
championship, in 1923. He again
saw his name inscribed on the
trophy in 1925, 1927, 1929, 1881,
1882, and 1888. Max Weyl was
club champion in 1925, 1928 and
1880; Ralph Goldsmith in 1922
and 1924 and Sidney C. Kaufman
in 1921, when the LuchS Trophy
was first placed in competition.
Rates With Best Here
Needless to say, Nordlinger Is
one Of the better grade golfers
in the District, and his name
would be spoken Of more often
were he able to give more time
to the game.
DR.. C. E. Buck, president at
Washington, meets Jimmy Drain
in the final round Of the club

2.hole lead with but three holes
to play but say Drain capture all
three holes to become victor.

Covelli is far from a sure
thing tonight against the colorful

the fact that frankie whipped

hand and one whose style is hard

Griff Retains Title;
Sells SOn-in-LaU
For Round $15O,OOO
By BILL CoRUM


NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-For as
many years as most OF you can
remember, Clark Griffith, owner
of the washington Senators, has
been called the shrewdest
trader in baseball.
If there was any doubt about
Mr.. Griffith's claim to that
title, it must have been dispelled
last Friday when he sold his
son,in-law for $150,444 net, no
discount.
Winner and still champion
was Mr.. Griffith, as he pock-
eted check for that amount
from Thomas Austin Yawkey,
the moose-shooting owner Of
the Boston Red Sox. You will
look far in the records of base
ball-or any other records you
happen to have about the
houSe-before you find another
case Of a proud pappy-in-law
picking up $50 g'S for a fellow
who won the lucky "yes" from
his neice.
In a lovely late summer cere-
mony in washington, Mr..
Griffith gave the bride away.
But when it came time to part
with his new nephew-in-law, he
could not find it in his heart to
let him go for chicken feed.
1t seems to me that this deal
deserves to be immortalized in
the annals Of trade and barter.
In short, if a mere nephew-in-
law is worth $150,000, what a
price a mother-in.laW?
Don't crowd that way, boys.
Don't crowd. I'm only putting
q rhetorical question.
1t was not the writer's pleasure
and good fortune to have been
present when the MesSrS.
Yawkey and Griffith engaged
in this little dicker for a mem.
ber of the Griffith household.
Perhaps that is just as well.
A Fragile Thing
A baseball deal is a fragile
and sometimes sentimental
thing, and I am at best a soft
hearted soul. Do you remember
how the tears rolled down the
1eathery and wrinkled cheeks
Of the ancient Mr.. Cornelius
McGillicuddy last winter as
with bowed head he sold this
same buying Yawkey man such
children Of his heart (Mr.
Mack's hearth as Lefty Grove,
Lefty Walberg and Make
Bishop?
Every time poor old Mr..
Mack, suffering as he was,
stuffed another hundred G's
down into his kick, it was re.
ported that a new freShet Of
tears would come cascading
down his cheeks. Mayhap he
was crying because he had only
one Lefty Grove to give to his
countryman, Yawkey.
So I repeat that I am not
ccnstitutionally adapted to
such narrowing scenes as the
one in which Griffith tore his
handsome nephew-in-law from
the very bosom of his family for
a paltry mess of the Yawkey
pottage.
But the dialogue may have
gone something like this as
Yawkey came pestifering
around Griff with the idea of
adding Joe Cronin to his galaxy
of all.stars, sometimes crudely
