New York, Oct. 20-(UP)-Patriot- ism, 8 red, white and blue animal with a very robust bite, has sunk its fangs into Mister Bob Topping, Jr., of New York, causing him CMr. Topping, not the animaD to break out in a nationalistic rash.
 Young Topping was bitten by this jingoistic animal at the finish of the recent George Vanderbilt 300- mile race, which saw foreign auto- mobiles completely outclass those of American make. The failure of the American cars to make 8 decent showing hurt Topping greatly, and shortly afterwards, over 8 creme de menthe at the Stork club, he thumbed his fat check book and cried:
 '"This must come to an end! The stars and stripes must fly at the top of the mastheadt Tive r Americai"
 The Stork club, accustomed to ex- plosions by brash yoHng men, didn't even turn its collective head. But this time the Stork club was wrong. Topping was serious. I know, be- cause on my desk at this moment is mimeographed announcement from his charge d'affaires stating in black and white that Topping would build car capableof 180 miles an hour with which to answer the au- tomobile challenge of Europe.

Now there's nothing like the en- thusiasm of youtf-particularly the enthusiasm of youth with lots of dough-and I would be the last one to dampen it. But Topping is doomed to bitter disappointment. He may build car, and it may even be "streamlined like a bullet" as he says it will, but you may safely bet your last pair of pigskin gloves that thN number he brings out next year will wallow in the exhaust fumes of the Alfa-R -Romeo's of Italy, the Buggati's of France, and the Auto Unions of Germany.
 If my prediction goes sour-and no one would like to see it do just that more than I-for after all my grandfather knew man who shook hands with a man who shook hands with Button Gwinnett--it will be half dozen feathers in the cap of American automotive engineers. The magnificent racing machines of Italy, France and Germany, are the result of at lest ten years of study by the best European engineers, and an open check book on the part of ths governments concerned. If Top ping and his engineers can produce a super car in one year there would be nothing for all of us to do but meet in Macy's window at high noon and doff our hats.
 I frankly don't think they will. There isn't enough time for one thing, and doubt if patriot Top ping is willing to spend enough money for another. One hundred thousand won't turn the trick. Neither will two hundred thousand, or even three hundred thousand. The Alfa-Romeo in which Tazio Nuvolari made monkeys of the American cars in the Roosevelt race is worth nearly $150,000. And if you figure in the cost of all the research that went into its production, it rep resents well over million dollars.
 I grew a bit skeptical of MT. Top- pings knowledge of motor cars when I read in the same announce ment that he had purchased the Maserai car driven by Philippe Etancelin of France in the Roose- welt speedway. Now the Maseratis a nice car, and give it to 8 college boy and he could get lovely honey baby of coed every night. But it has no business on the same track with an Alfa, for the simple reason that it handles like street sprinkler and is fully 40 or 50 miles an hour slower.

 BOWLING MEET
Married Men Winners of Closely Contested
 Match Games

After several years away from the alleys George Berube staged g sensational comeback and saved the day for the married men Sum- day afternoon in a macth between the married and single male mem- bers of the Franco-American Social club, the latter looSing out by r pins.
 The married mems team consisted of Noel Chouinard, Benny Marcoux, Joseph Harpin, Eddy Daly, Jerry Chouinard and George Berube. Bowling for the single men were Mike Gagnon, Nonat Belanger, Whity Delage, JuEes BourasSa, Ed ward Berube, Arthur Bergeron and Jerry Chouinard.
 The single fellows started off with good prospects, defeating their op- ponents by 25 pins in the first string, but they lost the second by 3 pins. This still left them with an 8 pin margin, but Bergeron hav- ing an "off day" offset Belanger's pickup. George Berube went into action with all the vigor of his former prolific bowling ability and carried the married men to victory.
 The score:

The third week of bowling still finds Hendricks and Gibbons dead locked for the lead. In last weeks feature match they split even, Gib- bons taking the first and third, and Hendricks with a 416 game in the second also took pinfall. In the other matches Albino lost four to Grady, Martin earned an even break in the standing by taking Shell 3-1 and 0. Desmaris broke into the win column with 3-1 vic- tory over Kelly. The Kellymen bowled well enough to earn an even break but the opposition were red hot. This team is far better than the standing indicates.

To the victor of this tilt prob- ably will go the big ten champion- ship.
