Wood Praises
Feminine
Bowler
BY SID KATZNELL

While they are discussing prob
able Ladies Dixie Duckpin Sweep
stakes winners, they had better
not overlook one local entry who
has quietly but firmly established
herself as a power in topping
duckpins.
We are referring to Catherine
Quigley. Mrs. Quigley improves
with each passing year. In the
Washington Ladies League she Is
carrying q 112 average and Gre
ated a sensation early this sea-
son when she smacked a 396 set.
Always consistent, always stick
ing to her knitting, she wallopS
the naples consistently at all
times and is particularly danger
Gus when the pressure Is on.
Enjoys Bowling
Perhaps no topnotch bowler in
the country gets as much enjoy
ment out Of bowling as Mrs. Quig-
ley. She has established record
that no bowler may ever equal,
having rolled some 10 straight
years in the washington Ladies
League without missing set.
Col. Billy Wood, big boss Of
the Lucky Strike Alleys and the
Meyer Davis enterprises in this
locality, has nothing but praise
for Mrs. Quigley. He says:
Catherine is n great team
bowler. She is always in there
fighting, even il her team Is
behind. In fact she does her
best maple-spilling when the
pressure Is On. She has an
excellent chance Of coping
first prize In the Dixie"
George Isemann, secretary Of
the National Duckpin Bowling
Congress says that he'll be
greatly disappointed if so women
don't vie for honors in the Dixie.
Isemann, who has travelled
throughout the South and New
England in the last month. says
feminine bowlers are greatly
interested in the washington
Times Ladies' Dixie Sweepstakes,
and many plan to compete in it.

The Dixie gets under way
Saturday at noon at the Silver
Spring Alleys. The second block
will be rolled at Mon: Fraser'S

Central Makes
Debut Today
In Series
By GARRETT WATERS

Central makes its debut today
In the inter-high school series,
opposing the Tech High five in
the Roosevelt gymnasium at $3.50
p. m.
While the Mt. PleaSanters are
striving to open with a victory,
Eastern will be after its second
straight at the expense Of West
ern High in a game on the Tech
floor at the same hour.
The Central-Tech game should
be very interesting. Scholastic
followers will get their first
glimpse Of the Mt. Pleasanters
under fire in the series while
they will be cycling a Tech
team that possesses plenty Of
promise.
The Techmen were defeated by
Eastern last week, 45-25. But
they gave the Parkers q battle,
particularly in the first half,
when they were separated from
their opponents by only four
points.
Snow Absent
The Trainers will start again
today without wesley Snow, regu-
lar center. Snow was injured just
before the Eastern game last week
and had to fidget and fume on the
sidelineS. The lad faces the same
fate today. This means his team
will be materially weakened, but
not downhearted If the presence
and ambition of Tom DobynS,
young soph, is an indication.
DobynS, far from the polished
baSketballer, is a pretty handy
man for any team to have around,
and in time will be making the
fans stand to their feet by his &C
ceptable, If not brilliant perform.

win Thompson, tall, lanky and an
accurate shot, win be at center,
while Billy Vermillion and Bob
Saffron will hold down the guard
positions.
Pair Look Good
Zones and Vermillion are
making CentraliteS forget for
a while at least the absences of
Gerstenfeld and Fox. The pair
have developed rapidly in recent
weeks and are scoring frequently
besides playing splendid floor
games.
The Eastern Western. game is
a decided certainty for Eastern.
The Parkers, despite whatever
Western might UP and do, are
too strong in this one to be upset
and should win very easily with
Chick Hollidge, Dopey Dean,
Bucky Buchholz, Buddy Shaner
and Claude Colley going great
guns.

Alfred E. Smith. former Demo

today in support of the Presiden-
tial candidacy of Gov. Alfred M
Landon.

In attacking the President
Smith said that "one of the chief
characteristics of the New Deal
is to heap abuse on anyone dis,

The former governor of New

To See Second
Series Game
Roosevelt Speech on Page A.

NEW YORK. oct. 2 GN.S).
President Roosevelt today moved
from the Pittsburgh ball park
where he presented a defense OF
the New Deals financial policies
toward the New York Polo
Grounds where no speeches but
merely the diversion of watching
the second game OF the World
Series awaited him.
Upon arriving in New York
shortly after 10 a. m, Mr. RooSe-
welt motored Immediately through
the Holland Tunnel to Jersey City,
to participate in the dedication OF
a new medical center.
In Baseball Phrases
Following the ball game the,
President will take part in ground
breaking ceremonies for the pro-
jected Queens Midtown tunnel be-
fore leaving New York for Hyde
Park and weekend Of rest.
Using baseball phrases, President
Roosevelt told $4,000 Pennsylvania
Democrats packed into Forbes
Field, at Pittsburgh. last night
that the goose eggs Of the deficit
his Administration had run up
were responsible for sorely needed
dollars Of national income now
reposing in the American citizens
pockets.
"In the Bag"
He scanned the box score" Of
"our fight to beat down the de-
preston and win recovery" and
announced that from where I
stand it looks as though the game
is pretty well in the bag"
The President confined his en-
tire speech to an argument that
by running up "a net deficit Of
eight billion dollars" since March
4, 1888, he had increased national
income from 80 billions to well
over so billions this year"
Budget Balancing Crime"
The Executive renewed his
charges that the New Deal had
stepped into the breach Just in
time to prevent "breadlines which
would last far longer than the
bread" He said:
Ito balance our budget in
1888 would have been q crime
against the American people.

of the American people before
we could balance the budget Of
