Around Washington this year the
youngsters of the links are dominat-

they'll continue to do it as long as
golf is played with = club and a ball.
One youngster who still has two years
to go before attaining his majority
today holds the Middle Atlantic and
District golf titles. Two more kids
have upset seasoned performers in
club title Journeys this year and are
due to step out to bigger victories
next year. And behind these there

take over where the veterans leave of.
Billy Shea Not Alone.
RILLY SHEA is the top amateur

"OR the first time in America,
l. chukars were used as game in
a field trial last month at the
4 1887 official trials for cocker
and springer spaniels. held at Ver-
bank, N. Y, under auspices of the
Cocker Field Trial Club OF America.
Chukars are natives Of Asia. They
resemble the European grey or Hun
garian partridge and they weigh about
SO per cent more than their European
cousins. They are about three times
as heavy as the American bob white
and about the same weight as the
average ruined grouse.
The first chukar put up At the
trial was killed by Eltinge F.
Warner, publisher of Field and
Stream magazine, who was one
Of the official guns.
Six chukars and six pheasants were
put out on the three-quarter-m mile
course the day before the trials. or
these. four chukars were put up and
three killed, while only two of the
pheasants were shot, the other four
having run of the course. The judges,
guns and handlers were unanimous in
the opinion that chukars would make
extraordinarily fine birds for field
trials. They lie better to a dog than
does pheasant. They are fast of
the ground and fly much like quail. On
covey rise they fan out and make good
single shots.

The Star tournament qualifying round
calls for five games rolled consecutively.
Three lesgue games may be included
Two games may be rolled before or
after a league match. This means
that in order to qualify for the final
girl would roll two games before or
after a league set, or shoot five games
in row under any conditions. In
any event she would receive her
moneys worth in bowling, plus a
chance to win a prize
Il know" continued Miss Herring,
that many women feel they have
no chance to win. They shy from
the thought Of competition. But when
they become skilled in bowling they
will want to test themselves. They
will find then that experience under
fire is valuable. In The Star tourna-
ment they may have it without cost,
excepting the payment for five games
they might roll in practice"

BRAVES 71.2 GAME.
Cue Wizard, 49, Is Giving
Schaefer Fine Fight in
French BaIk Play.
BY DREW MIDDLETON,


n YEW YORK, Nov. 30.-Unless
I'M you know about billiards,
VI especially the French 7l.2
4 ' balkline game that Willie
Hoppe and Jake Schaefer are play
ing this week, it looks to be the easiest
game in the world.
When, out Of .Yelter Of technical
mumbo- jumbo, the significance of the
various shots, the intricate interde-
pendence Of physical and geometrical
laws are grasped the smooth f1uency
Of the play becomes real.
Here in the motions Of these two
men is the same co-ordinated rhythm
OF Babe Ruth's batting swing, of
Dempsey's left hook; it is the token,
the hallmark of champions.
The game they are playing is new
to America. 1t differs from other
balkline games in the dimensions of
the markings. The players think it
is more difficult than 1871 because
they must drive the ball farther to
get it out Of balk and because there
is less opportunity for nursing.
Only Six Balk Spaces.
THE lines, II millimeters from the
side and end rails, are drawn ex-
actly through the spots, leaving six
balk spaces instead of nine.
Schaefer had the upperhand all
day yesterday. He won the AFTER
noon match or block. $50 to 245, and
the evening match. $50 to 173. Hoppe,
one OF the greatest and most enduring
OF sport champions. is turning to a
new game after 81 years in which he
has held every billiard championship.
Hoppe has been playing billiards
since he was 10. He won his first
world championship in Paris In 1906
when he was 18. Smiling oldsters
who remember you when you were a
kid come up to shake hands with
him after every match.
At 49 he Is gray, dapper and smil-
ing, He takes defeat calmly: I'VE
all have our of nights, and this is a
new game"
He keeps training Il walk a lot
and watch my diet: I have to. I've
been around long time"

| OF a 10-year-old kid who had beaten
them. Jack, after the beatings had
become too numerous to blame on
country applejack. brought Willie and
his father to New York.
Well have to-" said Jack, "or this
kid will become another Hudson River

They brought him down. and he's
