EMPIRE STATER DEFENDS MIAMI
 GOLF LAURELS

Miami, Florida, January 19 - CUP) - Tommy Goodwin of Mon- roe, N. Y., today defended his title against Brooks Glenn of Miami in the 36-hole final of the Miami Country Clubs mid-winter golf tourney.
 Both went through hard-fought matches yesterday to gain the final.
 Nice Work
 Young Goodwin eliminated Cur tis Bryan of Jacksonville, up, and was forced to match par of 36-36-72 for the victory. They were all even at the turn. But Goodwin went 1 up on the 17th when a 240 yard drive to the green helped him to a birdie three. He overcame a partial style on the final green to finish with this lead.
 Glenn defeated Bill Wilkinson of Indianapolis, also by l up. Glenn was up over Wilkinson at the turn. But faltered on the back stretch and barely managed to beat the hoosier who had reduced the lead to 1 up on the 17th. Will kinson failed to square the match on the 18th when he missed an eight-foot putt.

Philadelphia, Jan 19-(U)- Alfredo de Orc, 71-year-old Cuban cue ace from New York, defending his leadership in the national three-cushion billiard tournament tonight in a match with Charles McCourt of Cleveland.
 De Gro retained first place yes- terday by shooting his fourth straight victory. He beat Earle Lookabaugh of Chicago, 50 to 49, in "A innings. McCourt downed Robert B. Harper of Denver, 50 to Al in 65 frames.

 Len Kenney of Chicago, opposed Arthur Woods of New York today. Kenney, though idle yesterday, dropped to third position from a second place tie, with Kinrey Mat sugama of New York, when the lat ter defeated Arthur Woods of New York last night, 50 to 45 in 51 in- nings.
 In today's first match, Robert B. Harper of Denver, was paired against Marc Cation of Oakland, Cal, Pacific coast champion. When Harper bowed to MeCourt yester- day, if was his fifth straight de- feat,

Considerable feeling and high in- terest marks the Watertown-Ter-y- vile clash which will be played in the Town Hall court, starting at S:15 o'clock. With most of the week devoted to practice, both coaches, Joe Jablonowski at Terry vile and Al Deland at Watertown feel their charges are fully primed for their best effort which will be necessary from start to finish, ac- cording to indications. Watertown has the best record, but the task of beating Terryville on it's only court, will be anything but easy. John Cluney will officiate at the contest.

their nearest rival and have also frightened up the league. There are now only six games difference be- tween first and last place. Captain Archie MuhOIland led his team with the score of BPS and the rest of the team helped to bring home the bacon. E. Rowland Chase was bowling his average this week and I think it seemed to take away the life of the Estimators. Mulholland was getting all sorts of marks and the EstimatOrs couldn't get by him because he took care of the ham dicap every game. (Keep 1t up, Archie, and maybe you will be able to roll as anchor man on your team.) Bob Reinicke is still on Q hitting spree. He was high man for the Estimators with 311. Ga- zey was also OfR this week as he bOwled far below his average. Per. haps it was due to Sam Eusey's absence as Sam likes to razz Bill GaZey. The Estimators had better put in 8 call for Ray Palmer to come back with the team. Maybe that will help to keep them in first place.
 E. F. Copp's return to the Cost team was too much and the Cost team lost two games to the En- gineers. Charles Rush, president of the league and belonging with the Engineers, proved this week that he had been doing a lot of reading in the manual as he bowled sos, his highest three games of the season. Bob White and Don Seav- CT, the boys who have helped to bring the Engineers up to second place, have not been able to come back into their hitting stride and they can't seem to find the trou- ble. The Engineers by their vic- tory have gone into a tie for sec- ond place and the Cost team is now in tie for fourth place. The Cost team had better start winning games if they expect to keep out of the cellar. Kirsch was high for the winenrs with 31y and Joe Dubiel was high for the Cost team with 319. Earl Copp hasn't decided whether he will stay with the team or not. Maybe the Cost team will need his assistance to get into the running once again.
 Fred Smiths Plumbers made a stab tonight to stay out of the eel lar and they won two games from Roy KrOm's Boosters, thereby keeping them two games ahead of tLc Chascrs who are there alone. Husted's return helped them carry on and it has been several weeks since the Plumbers have used their full team. Mir Smith had better tell MP Husfed fO cOpna arOuud aash week and maybe they will continue tO win | GIT games. Hoy. Arom was the high man for his team with 293 and Vernon Wade of the Plumbers almost broke the high three games of the league for this year, hitting 368. He also took the high single of the week with 138.

Pick.ups Here and There

Travisano-"Bill Gazey, do you want to bowl with us to-night?"
 Gazey-"Are you still in first place."
 Travisano-"Sure."
 Gazey-"All right, I'll bowl be- cause I like to bowl with the leaders"
 It was noticed this week that Bob Reinickc brought his bowling shoes along.
 It was overheard that Copp wished that he hadn't gone bowl ing this week, first, because he brought his average down and sec- Ondly, because the Cost team might have won the EstimatOrs. (We think that the Cost team was too overcome at his arrival and per- haps next week tell U different stOry.)
 The Chasers who have only won two games from the Estimators so far this season proved that past records don't mean anything in bowling by defeating the Estimat- ors three games this week.
 We wonder what has happened to, A. c. Rocker of the Production team. He has fallen down in his bowling the past few wekes. Don't tell me that they have closed up the alleys up in Oakville!
 We wonder where Charles Rush has learned to bowl using a hook ball because there isn't anything in the "Rush Manual about. throwing a hook. ((Maybe he has been getting practice from a good bowler. Let us all in on the secret because we're sure that a lot of other bowlers would do thesame.
 "CrOOning George" Drinkwater was heard singing his song about Caligan and we think he was re- hearsing lOr next week when his team faces the Cost team.

Next Weeks Predictions

Production vs Cost. The Cost team ought to in if the Production team is still in their slump and we look forward to a decisive victory for the Cost team.
 Chasers vs Engineers. If the Chasers keep going like they boled thwis week, they should come out victorious against the Engineers. Here's hoping the Chasers take the Engineers out of second place.
 Plumbers vs Estimators. The Es- timators are hitting snags and the Plumbers ought to win two games from the Estimators.
 Note: The predictions have been working out pretty good, but the Cost team is upsetting tine dope and think it's due to the presence of Mir Copp. Now that he is back perhaps they will come out all right.

Ship Disaster Ranks
AS One of Worst

NEW YORK, Sept. 8 Q.N.S0
Burning of the Ward liner Morro
Castle off the coast Of New Jersey
today with hundred of lives lost
ranks with major maritime dis,
asters of the last 20 years.
Perhaps the most tragic of the
modern disasters was the sinking
of the Titantic on April Is, 1912,
with a loss of 1,517 lives. With
1928 persons aboard, the White
Star steamship struck a giant ice
berg in the North Atlantic.
95S Lost at New York
Another tragedy that will live
long in the memory of man was
the burning Of the General Slo'
cum on June Is, 1904. The vessel
took fire going through Hell Gate,
East River, N. Y, and took a toll
of 958 lives. Less than 500 of the
1,40O persons aboard the steamer
were saved.
America will never forget the
sinking of the LuSitania on May
7, 1915, which went to a watery
grave in 18 minutes after being
torpedoed by a German submarine.
It cost the shocking total Of 1,198
lives. The giant craft was bound
