An all-time record entry for
Washington bowling was estab-
lished in The Evening Star Yule-
tide handicap tournament which
ended last Saturday night after
four weeks of competition for $500
in cash and two gold medals.
This was revealed today by
Arville Ebersole, secretary of the
Washington City Duckpin Asso-
citation, who, in his capacity as
official statistician for the giant
maple party, announced that 3,4O1
men and women participated,
making the 18th annual tourna-
ment the largest in Capital
bowling history.

more private course experience, do
better.
Over at the Army-Navy Country
Club, where Ralph is co-holder of
the course record, the two club pros
think he's hot stuff. Only yester-
day he shot a 70. OF course, that
was played under winter rules, which
make the game easier. even though
you don't get the distance you get
in the summer. That boy Is too
tough for Alan and myself" said
red-headed Danny Burton, the
junior member of the pro firm which
holds forth in the service club golf
shop. And he really works at this
game of golf. I never have seen a
boy who practiced harder than
Ralph. That's what it takes, you
know. You have to have that swing
grooved so it will stand up under
pressure. ana hit that ball the same
way all the time"
Ralph is the son of Comdr. I. C..
Bogart of the Navy. But the worst
part of it is that he won't be around
much longer. Navy folk stay in
Washington short time and Comdr
Bogart's boy will have to be moving
on with his family pretty soon.
which will be Washington's loss and
the gain of some other part of the
world,

with good amateur golfers, although
the big show of golf around South
Florida doesn't get under way until
February.
Many Capable Youths.
Eighteen year old Ralph, Just
about ready to break out into
rash of tournament victories, is
tabled as one of the hot youngsters
of the coming generation. CHASING
them below 81 years of age, Ralph
is the youngest of a group of kids
who are going to dominate amateur
golf around Washington for quite
few years. or until the inevitable
time when they go into business and
have to give up tournament play.
Nor is Ralph at the tail-end of the
group.
Billy Dettweiler is the oldest of
the bunch of youngsters. Then come
Billy Shea, DettWeiler's teammate
at Georgetown: Bobby BroWnell of
Duke University, top amateur golfer
of the town last year, and stocky
Buddy Sharkey. the Indian Spring
champ, who will be a member of
the strong Georgetown team in 1910.
Toss in Andy Oliveri, the public links
champion, and you have a strong
group of kids, who can win Just
about everything they play in 1899.
Picard Is Impressed.
It's seldom you hear top rank
ing pro talk enthusiastically about
youngster. Generally they hum and
haw around, and say "Yes, he's
pretty good" So when Henry Picard,
who is about as talkative as a we'll
seasoned clam, goes away off the
deep end for youngster, you have
to figure that same youngster has
something on the ball. Henry went
the whole way for young Bogart.
That kid said tall Henry, has
everything a good golfer needs. He
has length and distance and temper
ament. Also he has lot of COM
petitive spirit. I ought to know.
He whacked me one day on my own
course, in big wind. I admired
the way he played those shots in the
wind on a course where length
counts heavily. That Bogart boy is
going long way, or I miss my
guess"
Ralph is coming into the COM
petitive game at a time when the
going is pretty fast among the
younger group around Washington.
But he seems to have the equip
| ment to handle himself in a game
where there aren't SO many good
amateurs around I mean, the anna
teur crop throughout the land isn't
as good as it was Is years and more
| back.

You could search down the years
and you wouldn't find better
swinging crop of youngsters at any
time around Washington than we

weller and Sharkey and Oliveri
