ton Of amateur talent, furnished the
loudest keynote detected this year by
our sports-writing associates.
Expressing their assorted views in
the sixth annual Associated Press
sports poll, ~ press box observers cited
bigger crowds and gates" as the
most conspicuous trend Of 1886.
They called attention to such all
time attendance marks as $4,000 for
the Kentucky Derby and 10000 for
the Indianapolis auto race. The South
and East counted their biggest foot
ball turnouts in history-4S,o00 at
Baton Rouge for Louisiana State
Tulane and 105,000 at Philadelphia
for Army-Navy.
In major league base ball a new
National League mark of 64,417 was
reached for a Giant Cardinal double
header in September, while the biggest
crowd in world series history, $3.50,
viewed the fourth game at the Yankee
Stadium.

Linked with college problems was
the trend Of professional athletics to
absorb the star amateurs more rapidly
than ever before. The collegians, in
greater numbers, yielded to the induce

commercialized sports.

You Always Get Exercise.

IF THERE ever was any real fault

give it away, its promoters dressed like
Santa Clauses and waving five-hun-
dred-dollar bills. You could stand at
one end of Brooklyn Bridge and try to
give away greenbacks all day without
getting q tumble, so psychologists say.
because everybody suspects that they're
phonies. Look what Brooklyn did to
Casey Stengel.
It seems that in The Star tourna-
ment you pay nothing. Most Of the
time, to be frank, you get nothing ex-
cept the exercise. which you probably
need. But there Is always . chance
that when you drop into . bowling
alley and shoot i've games you will
suddenly get hot, like . magazine ad

Names Don't Mean . Thing.
CTAR bowlers practically never win
- the affair. Names like TAFT, De
Fno. Walker Burps and Xanten don't
mean . thing to most local sports
fans, but 1t develops that these are
among the previous winners. Taft
sounds like . politician, but he won
in the first year and hasn't been
heard from since. This never happens
to politicians. De Elmo, who sounds
like the guy who will fight Howard
Scott or Pete Sarron next week at
Turner's Arena, won in 1929. making
it two in q row for unknowns. There
are q lot Of Walkers in sports, such
as Mickey and Gerald, but this one
Is ]. M. Walker, winner two years ago.
vivien Burns isn't an Aus
tralian Davis Cupper. She won
the women's title in 1882, and
Xanten, defending champion,
can be found near the back Of
the phone book.
Only one bowler ever has won the
tournament twice running. This was
Bess Ackman, who won in 1929 and
repeated in 80, but the women
field was small in those days, gals
rolled only three games, and Mrs.
Ackman's feat consequently IL not to
be compared with . double victory in
the mems division, which has never
happened. Ollie Pacini, who can slide
across toothpicks for . spare II you
jangle Q little change under his esthetic
schnoz, is the only man who came
close to winning twice. In 1881 he
was third, and he won the next year.
He hasn't been in the dough since.
Roll Anywhere You Like.
THIS year, for the first time. you
can bowl any place you please and
have the score count in the tourna-
ment. Some people like the Lucky
Strike, f'rinstance, because the ceiling
Is low; or Convention Hall, because
it's high and the pit seems closer; or
the Silver Spring alleys, because its
right next door, or Arcadia, because
it's got Q short left field fence and
you are . pull hitter.

do all his hitting in Yankee
Stadium, Or Trosly concentrat-
ing In Cleveland. Imagine .

Cox being able to play 1t Ken
wood and comparing scores with
Paul Runyan. hitting his spoons
In Florida.
In connection with the tournament
there are two species Of human being
to feel sorry for. There are the ON
cials, who get nothing out of it (not
The Star boys, Mr.. Noyes), and the
bowlers who roll few games anyway
and don't have sense enough to ask
the alley man to please count the
games in the tournament. In fact
you don't even have to say please.

AS for the fire-it was ex-

About two years ago students
caused Q near riot ct a q. U. fire

proceeded to sprinkle the blaze
as well as everything else in range.

This was the eighth songfest to be
given at the residence of Mr.. and

Leger appreciated the need of pro-
viding a similar opportunity here, es-
pecially for the children Mrs. Leger,
who studied at the Northwestern
University School of Music, directs
the young singers, while Mr.. Leger
plays the guitar to accompany them.
