BY WALTER McCALLUM.
All set to resume their outdoor
activity in pursuit of a golf ball,
the feminine links stars who dou-
BILE in brass as bowlers during the
winter again have a strenuous sea-
son of bowling mapped out for them
when cold weather rolls around
again. They held their final COM
petition of the season and election
of officers yesterday at Hugh Ar
baugh's Silver Spring alleys, where
they have rolled duckpins every
Tuesday since early December,
agreed to resume again early in
December, 1899. and chose Mrs. Karl
S. Giles of Indian Spring as their
president. to succeed the dynamic
Mrs. "Trudie" Paul. donor of the
Paul team trophy. and handspring
OF the feminine golhng boWlers for
the past year. With Mrs. Giles into
office next season will go the fol-
lowing: Mrs. j. F. Dowdall, Manor,
vice president: Mrs. A. M. Warren,
Army-Navy, treasurer, and Mrs.
Charles Slawson. Congressional, sec
rotary and official scorer.
Indian Springs athletic team of
star golfers (and bowlers) numbering
in their group several members of
the championship women's golf
team, won the team competition
for the Paul trophy. The team in
cluded Mrs. Giles, Mrs. Charlotte
S. Stern. Mrs. Walter R. Stokes,
Mrs. C. P. Medley, Mrs. Hope Will
kinson and Mrs Perry B. Hoover
-Four of the crack bowlers also are
on the golf team of the Indian
Spring Club, which started play
today at Beaver Dam in defense
of its first team championship.
The bowling season wound up
with a sweepstakes tourney, won by
Mrs. R. N. Trezise of Manor with
set of 374. High average woman
for the season was Mrs. Pauline
Ford Of Congressional, sporting an
average of 1O3. High game honors
went to the new prexy Of the femi-
nine bowlers-Mrs. Giles-with 40.
Hagen in Town.
Walter Hagen-the Old Duke
himself-is in town, and weather
permitting the Duke may step out
for a round of golf over Burning
Tree or Columbia. Walter hasn't
played much golf for several months.
Pooling around the fishing dock at
Everglades City, Fla, last month
I saw Walter make a date to go
tarpon fishing on the day after the
opening of the four-ball matches at
Miami.
How about it, Walter?" I asked
him. You have to play in that
four-ball match with Gene Sarazen.
Don't you expect to VIM"
We'll, you know I haven't hit a
ball in two months" he said. I'VE
might win, but I doubt it," Walter
and Gene were licked in the open
ing round. Nowadays Walter doesn't
take his golf very seriously. But
for sheer gallery appeal and spac-
tacular shotmaking in the pinches
they haven't produced any one with
more punch than Walter Hagen.
He has something the present gen.
Grafton of golfers lack. Call it color,
or skill, or what have you. Hagen
had it, and still retains it.
HOyas List Schedule.
Georgetown University's strong
golf team, heralded as potential
winners of the Eastern Intercol-
legiate League crown. will have to
do their college loop winning on
foreign courses. They haven't sim
gle local match listed in the Eastern
loop, according to their schedule
made public today.
The Hoyas, with Johnny Burke,
intercollegiate champ, playing at
No. l. will open their schedule with
two matches. against Navy, on April
20 at Annapolis, and against Duke
at the Capital Golf and Country
Club on May /. The Duke match
is the one the Hoyas are pointing
for, because Bobby Browneu, Duke
Alexander and their pals from Dur
ham are said to be ready to lay
in scads of dough on their chances
against the lads from the Hilltop.
And the Georgetown boys like their
own chances. You can imagine
what the betting results will be.
Right after the Duke match the
Hoyas will play like this: May s,
Princetown at Philadelphia; May 8,
