GIRLS PIN MARKS
DUE FOR BOOSTING
GuIlI-SimmonS Clash Here
Faces Holders of Many
World Records.

A MOTHER sensational match be-
~ tween the two leading women
~ bowlers Of the country is the
n choice prospect for District
fans this week end, when Lorraine
GULL and Ida Simmons Of Norfolk
meet in a 20-game combat at the
Lucky Strike and Silver Spring alleys.
The first 10 games will be rolled
on Saturday at Lucky Strike, the ac-
t1Wties being concluded the following
day at the suburban drives.
Visions Of a pin-for-pin battle are
logically based on the result of the last
match between the rivals when they
clashed in a South Atlantic wonen's
League fray and ended the three games
with identical scores Of 345. More
striking was the fact that each rolled
a high game Of 1876. Miss Simmons
rolled with the Norfolk Health Center.
while Washingtons ace is a member
Of the Rosslyn women's team.
Hold Many Marks.
THE smashing Of all records from
to 20 games is more than a pos
Sibility this week end, for all such
women's marks are held at present by
one of the contesting pair. Miss Sim
mons, who holds the world records
for game of 1872, three games of 443,
nine for 1,1l9, Is for 1877 and 20
game mark of 2,435. is leading the
Southern Intercity League with an
average of 1888.
Miss Gull, however, who relin-
pushed her post as No. ranking wom-
an bowler Of the country to Miss Sim
mons only last year. holds the five.
game record Of 652, the six-game rec.
ord Of 799 and shares with Billie But
Ter the 10-game mark Of 1899. Her
average in the Southern Intercity loop
is behind the Norfolk star by four pins,
but she carries averages of 116 and
lit in two local leagues.
The match will be bowled under the
rules of the National Duckpin Congress
and has been sanctioned by this body.
Congress officials will handle the
match.

Few Orders for Old Type.

RUT on the whole the business Of
49, handmade golf clubs has gone into
serious decline and one out of which
it probably never will be revived. There
are quite a number Of golf pros
around Washington who know plenty
about making wooden-shafted golf
clubs, but this year they probably
haven't had dozen orders for a set
of wooden-shafted clubs.
Bill Hardy, Al Price, Peter Jackson,
Monro Hunter, Dave Thomson, Fred
Mcleod. all served apprenticeships at
the bench in golf shop in the days
when wooden-shafted clubs were tops.
Today their chief business along the
line of club manufacture lies in send
ing back to the factory clubhead
and cracked steel shaft to be re-
paired.
Bill Hardy is the only one who
really goes after the business of
making clubs, and his business is
largely along the line of placing steel
shafts in wooden heads for the long
hitting clubs and in shafting steel
heads with steel. He has relatively
little wooden shaft business. The
modern golf shop work bench has be-
come a spot for minor repairs rather
than a place of major construction
work, and the steel shaft, the BRAIN
child Of Allan Lard, a Washington
inventor, reigns supreme in golf today.
Macdonald Smith Prefers Wood.
ONLY one topnotch golfer in the
~ United States still holds out for
wooden shafts. That man is Mac
Donald Smith, the aging Scot, who
should have won half dozen major
titles and has yet to grab his first
one. You couldn't lay the blame for
Macs failure on wooden shafts, either.
Rather, it has been his putting, which
has betrayed him at the crucial spots
in championships.
Scattered throughout the land are
a few manufacturers who make Gus
tom-built, wooden-shafted golf clubs.

In seven high prep combats, prep
school elevens have been defeated
four times, st. Johns 90 draw with
Western being the best showing next

But more than a season end victory

Western also won last year.
The Purple will have plenty power

however, Jim Boyle being one of the

Sonny Hartman one of the most pro-

WHAT loomed as an easy season

just fortnight ago, now appears as
a threat to the successful close of one
of the Purple's best years on the grid
iron.
Improving faster than any one
dreamed possible, Western has shown
enough power and class in its last two
games to throw fear into the hearts
Of Gonzaga's gridmen. A 1876 defeat
of Roosevelt, previous to a mere l.
point defeat at the hands of Wash
ington and Lee High last Friday,
make Western nothing to be taken
lightly. John Hatch's return to ac-
ton makes GonZaga's task even more
formidable. In fact, comparative
scores favor the public high eleven
ever SO slightly. Gonzaga licked
Roosevelt by the identical score of
Westerns conquest, but was defeated
by one touchdown by the same Ball
ston eleven that just eked out 7-6
