to relax, how to play. Even today,
despite his 63 years and his non
necessity for further financial
gains, he spares neither travel nor
travail in ceaselessly pushing his
corporation ahead.
President william S. Knudsen,
starting from scratch, has won his
way solely by spending his out
standing mental and physical
powers without stint.
Alter P. Chrysler, son of q
workman and originally an ap-
prentice in railway shop, never
restricted himself to any eight
hour day, never sought to rest on
his laurels even after he had
pushed his enterprise to second
place in the auto world. Unhap-
pily, his health gave way some
time ago. K. T. Keller, chosen
by Mr.. Chrysler as president of
the Chrysler Corporation, is an
other essentially self-made man
who has devoted himself whole
heartedly to his daily duties.
I could name other automotive
masters, from Fred Fisher and his

16-Team Loop Enters

Ida Simmons to HeIp
Fair Duekpinners
At Silver Spring
BY ROD THOMAS,

Those live-wire sports addicts Of
the Treasury Department who
walked of with top honors in The
Star Federal golf tournament are
back for more Star prizes, this
time in bowling. Beecher j. Clark,
president of the Treasury Recrea-
tional Association League, last night
announced that the entire league of
Is teams would shoot in The Stars
Yuletide handicap tournament on
December %.
This was glad news to Ollie Pacini,
manager of the Northeast Temple,
where the league holds forth, for
Pacini, attempting to surpass the
other duckpin plants operated by
Charles H. Olive, the Queen Pin
and Takoma. in obtaining entries
for the tournament, in one swoop
picked up almost as many as he
totaled last season.
Double Up in Tournaments.
The Treasury League. of which
Franklin r. Fischer is secretary and
Richmond C. Reeley treasurer, will
hold Christmas sweepstakes con-
currently with their participation
in The Stars giant maple party, the
5-game scores counting in both
events.
In The Star competition, how
ever, the Treasury rollers all will
receive substantial handicaps, rang
ing up to rs sticks. The high aver
age men of the league are Reeley of
Secret Service and George Morrison
of Treasury No. /, each of whom
has an average of 113 and a frac-
ton. Scratch for men in The Star
tournament is 125, with an entrant
to receive half the difference be-
tween that and his highest league
average.
In this connection an important
change in tournament rules was
made yesterday. Handicaps here
tofore have been based on the last
seasons averages where they ex-
listed and those who had none were
handicapped on current figures, pro-
vided they had rolled 80 league
games. Inc latuer requirement now
calls for only 81 games.
Newcomers Wanted 1t.
The change was made at the re-
quest of hundreds of boWlers who
joined the league ranks only this
season and haven't time enough to
reach 80 strings before the deadllne
for qualifying falls on Christmas
Day. Contestants without league
averages must shoot from scratch.
Fair bowlers at Silver Spring
eager to make a showing in the
tournament welcome the return for
a week of free instruction by Ida
Simmons, comely Norfolk blond
who rules the fair bowlers Of the
country with a firm but pleasing
hand, one of the Nations truly
thoroughbred sports champions.
Miss Simmons will be on the job
from 10 am. until 6 pm. daily.
Tomorrow she will have a special
class for Montgomery County high
school girls and one Tuesday for
members of the Women's Country
Club League. Other days through
Friday will be given over to fair

The lad came out of a minor high

And that ambition-to outstrip his

He could 60 on playing football, as
he did this season as tailback OF

His 6-foot 190-pound frame, beauti-
fully muscled, would carry him along

years. Five years in the neighbor-
hood of his present salary-S15 900

would, after todays game in New
