BY NOEL SMITH

For the benefit Of all league
bowlers who haven't been notified
by their team captains, there will
be no league bowling until January
2nd. This will be welcome news to
the non-league powlers. most Of
whom have been occasionally irked
at not being able to get an open
alley on league nights. However,
several holiday tournaments have
been scheduled for those bowlers
who thrive on competition.
The Coast Counties Gas quintet
rose to unprecedented heights for
City League play Monday night
when they turned in a l045 game
against the Irrigation district. John
Hammond and Don Bonar showed
the way, both rolling over 200
wit hout handicap. incidentally,
Hammond, who is one of the most
improved players in the league,
picked off the almost impossible
8-10 split the week before in league
play. 1t was the first time there
two pins have been picked up IN
the history of the alleys.
Thirty-two women took advantage
of Ladies night Saturday and were
so enthusiastic that the same plan
will be used next Saturday. All

War Detracts From Tennis

+ Shadows of war abroad fell
across the tennis picture IN
1910, robbing the game or
some of its brightest stars
and forcing abandonment OF
Davis Cup play.
Two events stood out on the do
mestic scene:
!. The rise of Don McNeill as
top ranking mems singles player.
,. The retirement of Alice Mar
BILE. four times national women's
champion and outstanding woman
athlete of 1910, from the ranks OF
the amateurs.
Blond. 23-year-old Mcneil was
not a complete surprise. Before his
graduation from Kenyon College IN
Ohio last spring, he had played
around the world.
He had beaten the national
champion, Bobby Riggs, to win the
clay court title. But still no one
took McNeill very seriously until
the third set of the tournament
final match.
Riggs had won the first two sets
in slow play before Mcneil broke
loose with the best tennis OF his
career to take the match, 4-6, 6-8,
6-3. 6-3 and Us.
A number of younger stars won
their spurs in the tournament. Vic
tor Seixas, II, came close to topping
Frank Kovacs Jack Kramer,
10, did beat Sidney Wood and Frank
Parker.
Young Welby Van Horn, who be-
came the sensation of the 1899
tournament by beating John Brom-
wich and going to the finals, was
the principal disappointment of the
year. Joe Hunt, the midshipman,
failed to reach the heights he
touched in Davis Cup play.
In November Miss Marble-who
won her third straight singles title
with an easy 6-3, 6-3 victory over
Helen JacobS-was induced to BAN
don her amateur status to inject
glamor into the languid pro game.

Bowling Notes

women with escorts may bowl free
from noon to closing.
1t seems that you can't write
any bowling news but what Tommie
Nell Bradshaw is part of it. Tom
mie came through with 254 Mon
day night, which is her highest
score to date. Her best previous
effort was a 233. The only better
Woman's score to decorate the local
scoreboard is Dot Woodwards 269.
The tough luck team of the City
League is Owl Billiard. The team is
occasionally weak because several
members h We obligations which
sometimes conflict with their bowl
ing. When the full squad is out,
however, they have a pretty fair
aggregation. However, when they
bowl 700 for a series, their opponents
bowl 701. Let the Owls turn in a
$50 and they still lose by pin.
The Gullett Grocery team, fav-
orite in the Major League, was
rudely dumped out of first place last
week when 20-30 trounced them 81
The contest marked Bill Foss' re-
turn 10 the 20-30 lineup for the
first time since last spring, and his
presence seemed to restore some
of the confidence TO the winners
of last springs major league. Cali :
fornia Hotel now leads this loop.

Boxing ana wrestling -.
Through the medium of letters to
Santa Claus, which found their way
to this department, the Bench
Warmer finds an increasing inter
est in boxing in the Imperial VAL
ley, that is, if letters like these
mean anything:
Dear Santa Claus:
want a pair of boxing gloves,
and a train. I especially want box
ing gloves.
Tommie."
The establishment of draft army
training camps and the other
growth in armed forces in the
United States due to the war in
Europe, have aided in increasing
the interest in boxing and with the
proper management the sport may
once again enter the golden era.
The Joe Billy Conn scrap,
billed for June, will give the box
ing profession a good start because
one of the largest gates in recent
years is expected for the heavy
weight title bout.
From there the future of the
boxing profession is in the hands
of promoters.
Theirs is a Jough job because
boxing has descended to an all-time
low, principally because of the in
flux of the oily promoter who is
interested in padding his pockets
rather than with developing fight
ers and the sport.
Fixed fights are result of the
back alley promoter and that type
of fight character must be eliminat-
ed if boxing is to survive.
Another need of the boxing world
at the present time is new crop
of higher calibre fighters, devel-
oped by experienced trainers who
know the ropes and can bring
