Dearth Of Larqe
Scores Tenpts
Non-Experts
Only Three Days Left
To Roll Preliminary:
Vivien Burns Tops

Not much time remains. but 1t
looks to be cinch to qualify for
the $500 rolloff of The Evening
Star Yuletide tournament. the pre-
liminary round of which ends Sum-
day. Although the bulk of the field
has rolled, few exceptional scores
have been turned in and a quick
check today showed that even a tyro
might make the grade at some of
the establishments.
This goes even for the Arcadia,
which has produced more than one
alleys share of champions in the
giant tournament. Carroll DAILY
and Frank Xanten, among the men,
and Pauline Ford. Bess Ackman,
Vivien Burns and Merceda Isemann,
among the women, are bowlers who
represented the Arcadia in winning
Star tournament titles.
Miss Burns Stands Alone.
Yet Miss Burns is the only one of
a large field of fair bowlers, in
Guiding many stars, who have rolled
in the current event at the Arcadia
to beat 600, despite generous handi-
caps. Miss Burns, with 38 franked
sticks, shot 6O3. Next to her is
Audrey Thrift with 5O-575 and sew
eral others are in the 560s. but from
there down the Arcadia maids have
little to boast about.
j. D. Cutsail with 32-679 heads
the Arcadia men trailed by c. r.
Kline. 33-673. and w. H. Phillips,
$3.50. but there are few other
scores in the Arcadia's long list to
awe even a duffer-with his fat
handicap.
Hall Leads at Recreation.
At the New Recreation, which has
turned up some sensational scores
in past tournaments-it produced
last years champion, John Shenos-
the top count is 45-658, rolled by
j. H. Hall. who is pressed only by
H. B. Niedfeldt with 60-652 and
Arthur L. Kleisath with 52-647.
Blanche Fishel, 57-568. and Marga-
ret M. OLeary, 55-565, are the
only Recreation maids with high
scores.
At the Queen Pin, F. Robertson
leads with 60-661, with H. Frye
1850 and E. Burkhalter 63-637,
second and third.
Looking over lists of the various
alleys and considering that Is per

ment at this time is more enticing
than ever to the run-of- mine

u ICYCLE riding has grown in popularity by leaps and

over-cauous National Capital Parks officials have re-
fused to establish any facilities for this heathu rec
reation. They fear it may be 'only passing fad.
This ostrich-ke head-in-the-sand policy is maintained
in the face of traffic bureau statistics showing that four
bicycle riders have been killed and 278 injured in this
city in the past 18 months.
In other cities where voters force their officials to
keep their heads up get out of office bicycle paths
have been established in the parks. Young and old
pedal without danger of being knocked into oblivion by
speeding cars
Washington parks offer ideal setting for bicycle
paths They not costly and their construction would
provide jobs for unemployed with minimum of

can afford to ride horses Bicycle paths could parallel
these-or take some Of them over

the Sioux were shot down in

the survivors were chased from

who caught up with those not
so fleet of foot and despatched
them. In these statements Gen
eral Miles has concurred and at

Doesn't Read Society

Why do society reporters guSh
so?
For instance, I read-when I'm
at loss for something better to
do-the society columns for re-
ports on parties which I have
attended.
Having been a bit bored my
self-and met others who were
equally so-it annoys me to read
about the lovely" tea Mrs. So
and So gave. A story painted in
such glowing colors that the
writer had better stick to fiction.
Typical of the gushy descrip-
tions will invariably be like this:
And the lovely Mrs. Do Dab,
looking exquisite in the smartest
black and white print with
black hat to match"
Mrs. Jones has the loveliest
complexion and she doesn't use
a thing on her face-not even
powder!"
AS any eye witness will tell
you Mrs. Do Dab is old and fat
and not even good looking while
her "smartest black and white
print" looked like $19.75.
Mrs. Jones has a muddy COM
plexion and wears her hair too
frizzy. He face is a bit on the
horsy side.
Understand, I'm not being
catty. I appreciate a pretty
woman as well as the next one
but why in heavens name these
ladies must be styled as 'lovely"
and exquisite" and smart"
when most shop girls would
make 'em look sick, is something
cannot understand.
