PACINI, BARNES
DRILL FOR TEST
IN PIN TOURNEY
BY SID KATZNELL

Determined to retain their
Washington Times Atlantic Coast
duckpin doubles championship,
Ollie Pacini, one of the foremost
pin,spillers in the Nations Capital,
and Ray Barnes, one of Balti-
more'S finest, are drilling dill.
gently these days.
The doubles classic, which draws
the worlds greatest duckpinnerS.
will be rolled Saturday. Five
games will be shot on Beryl Eng
lish's Columbia drives in the after
noon and five in the evening at
Charlie olives Takoma alleys.
SPECIAL MATCHES
Pacini, who was named No. /
ranking duckpinner Of the United
States twice during his Is years
of maple walloping, is not only
active in league competition this
week, but is rolling in special
matches. Barnes is literally set
ting fire to the tiny pins in the
Monumental City.
1t is the opinion Of Pacini and
Barnes that Joe Harrison and Ed
Blakeney, who finished second
last year, will offer the most trou-
BILE. Harrison and Blakeney were
only six points behind the champs
with their 2,477 score.
CLARKE AND KRAUSS
Astor Clarke, the nations No. /
duckpin bowler, is again expected
to team with youthful Bill Krauss.
This strong combination took
third honors last year.
Paul Jarman and Russell Spill
man won the contest in 1885 with
1888; Hokie Smith and Howard
Parsons captured it in 1884 with
2,522; the crown went to Astor
Clarke and Johnny Anderson in
1888 when they spilled the diminu-
tive wooden bottles for 2,601, and
Red Megaw and Ollie Pacini
grabbed the honors in 1881 with
1887.
Entrance fee is $40 a combina-
ton, which includes the cost of
games. Entries are being received
by the various bowling alleys man.
ayers and George Lincoln Ise-
mann, executive secretary Of the
National Duckpin Bowling Con-
gress at the Maryland Building.

aptly known as Times Square.
This" said Jack. lis the
farthest I've lived from the cor.
ner of Forty-second Street and
Broadway in my forty years in
New York City. That is, ex-
cept for one year. The first
year we were married Mrs.
Doyle dragged me up to River
side Drive. All brides wanted
to live on Riverside Drive in
those days. But I couldn't
stand it up there in the farm
belt. Would you believe that
there are people there who go
to bed at IL o'clock?
CHINESE AUTHOR
Lin Yutang is, as have said,
a Chinese author via Harvard,
although I presume the broad
a when written in Chinese is
horizontal. Lin Yutang is also
an aetheist. He may worship
his ancestors, but he doesn't be-
lieve that they are riding around
on white clouds twinging harps.
''Will you forgive me if I read
you a short paragraph" asked
Jack. IT don't like to read to
people and I don't like to be
read to. That's why I learned
to read. But this fellows good.
He's a short-sentence man. You
know what he's talking about.
Listen to this"
He read an excerpt that fin
ished with Lin Yutang's obSer-
vation that any man who had
lived 70 years in this world
should be able to get up and
walk out of the theater of life,
saying to himself: "It's been
good show"
A COINCIDENCE
It was one of those coinci-
denceS. Jack had been sitting
there in shirt sleeves reading.
We'd gone up and knocked on
his door without being an
nounced. He hasn't thought of
it in that light yet, I'm sure.
I didn't mention it. We went
on to talk of a hundred other
things.
But only chance could have
hit on a quotation that so aptly
fitted the scene and situation.
For on Saturday night, Jack
Doyle had walked down the
steps from Doyle's billiard room,
off Forty-second Street, for the
last time after 81 years as it's
proprietor, and "it's been a good
show"
All the sports characters, all
the great names that made New
York gay in the gay '90's knew
Doyle's. And Doyle knew them.
It was Cohan himself who sang
it, wasn't it?

Grandfather
Holds World
Boat Record

RED BANK, N. j., Aug. 16.
Jack Cooper, of Kansas City,
Mo-, 57-year-old grandfather, to-
day held q new world speedboat
record, scored in winning the
National Sweepstakes Regatta
here.
Beating one Of the country's
outstanding gold cup models, a
much larger craft with almost.
twice as much horsepower,
Cooper's tiny 225 class boat Tops
I'd set a new 15-mile heat
record Of 1858 in this classic
for single-engined speed craft Of
unlimited power. He averaged
64.242 miles an hour on this
run, and captured two out of
three heats.
The previous best heat speed
mark was 63.114.
Runner.up to Cooper's crsG
was Jack Rutherford'S Ma-Ja II,
the gold cup boat which won
the Presidents cup on the
Potomac last fall.

BOBBY RIGGS SET
FOR '38 CUP TEAM
By LEWIS BURTON

RYE, N. Y, Aug. 16.-Bobby
Riggs, the gay, staggering kid con-
quistador of ID years, scaled the
main barrier to the No. 2 perch in
the United States tennis ranking
yesterday, and today he was vir-
tually adopted for the 1888 Davis
Cup team.
Walter Merrill Hall, chairman
Of the austerely.named Davis Cup
committee of management, pro-
nounced Riggs "the player we have
been looking for" after seeing him
crush Frank Parker in three
straight sets, 6-3, IS, IS, and
succeed Don Bulge as Eastern
grass court champion at Rye,
N. Y.
"EIe has a game that will click
in international competition" said
Hall. "He has an instinct for it,
strong service and plety Of reserve
power to turn on when he has to.
I never saw better court covering
than he showed on a few points
out there. That Is because he not
only has been anticipation but re-
markable speed to go with It,"
The wholesome satisfaction
with which Riggs triumph was
received in official circles was a
complete turnabout in the U. S.
L. r. A. attitude. Riggs. although
the son of a minister, was not ac-
cepted socially by the tennis
powers at his home in Hollywood
last year.
Riggs lobbed 18th telling effect
on Parker when he attempted to
take the forecourt. He volleyed
spectacularly.
Bulge and Gene Mako, world
doubles champions. had their
hands full with Parker and Frank
Shields in the doubles final. They
won by 2-6, e6, 60, 3-6,
and 6-3.

The heavyweight champion, his

all set to vent his spleen on the
unfortunate hired hands.
Louis was pummeling Silvers, a
veteran middleweight, in a corner
when the rare spectacle occurred.
When Silvers jabbed in self-de-

E|GHT-OAREVENT
WON BY POTOMAC

The eight-oared crew Of the
Potomac Boat Club revived some
of the traditional glory Of the an
cient organization by smashing
down the Potomac to win the fea-
ture event of the fifty-Seventh an
nual rtgatta of the Old Dominion
Club yesterday.
The Potomac crew won going
away, the oars clicking the locks,
and the Snappy bark Of Jerry
Lawler keeping up the beat as the
blades ripped foot-deep puddles in
the tide.
The feature went to Potomac,
but Joy reigned in the quarters Of
the host club as the centipede-
quadruple SOULS to landlubberS-
beat Potomac, and the four-oared
gig crew also won.
The squad race was rowed In
record time. Julian WhiteSton,
Magnus Bales, Bob Whitton and
J. Monroe, whipped their tidy
little craft over the water in 2
minutes IS seconds to clip four
seconds off the former record.
The four-oared gigs with cox
SWANS developed a nice race for
a while, but the Potomac lads de-
veloped what old timers called q
wet and dry" stroke, and slipped
behind. The Old Dominion oars"
men rowed something after the
style of the Courtney stroke and,
swinging over the keel. kept the
boat spacing in fine style.
