Overnight, the Redskins seemed to
have cracked up and thus WASH
ington's first professional playoff be-
came a farce and a new record one
sided score for the National League
was written into the books.
Hockey Eagles Set Pace.
Although virtually all of the hook
ey Eagles are Canadians and all
are of age, neither his majesty's
army or navy made demands and
they returned to set a fast pace on
the ice. In 1910, however, the Eagles
were forced to share their River
side Stadium with two of the local
college basket ball teams, George
Washington and Georgetown, and
the professional Brewers of the
American League. The addition of
movable floor made this possible,
thus providing more and better seat
ing facilities for Washington's court
fans.
The fresh interest inspired in COL
lege sports undoubtedly was in
spired chiefly by Georgetown's rise
to national prominence again. The
fly in the ointment was that the
HoyaS, whose Augie Lilo won all
America honors at guard, played
few important games at home, but
this is something which may be
remedied in 1941. There were no
mourners around town when G. w.
was admitted in the Southern Con-
ference, for, with Maryland long a
member and with Maryland and
G. w. on friendly athletic terms with
Georgetown, it assured an authentic
tie-up between the Colonials and
Terrapins and wove the District
group int ca tighter yarn.
Bowling, Golf Flourish.
Unmentioned so far, but not to be
overlooked, is bowling. Long the hot
spot of duckpins, Washington added
to its claims in 1910 as new bowling
plants sprung like mushrooms and,
for the sixth consecutive year, Astor
Clarke was named No duckpinner
of the Nation. The Evening Star
Yuletide Tournament, started in
1910 and due to wind up in 1941 with
the rolling of the finalists, attracted
approximately $4,000 competitors to
set new all-time record for at least
local sporting event.
Golfng folk around Washington
started slowly and wound up with a
flourish during a year which marked
a Red Cross benefit affair at Indian
Spring called the District Amateur
Pro Championship" This was won
by Roger Peacock, local amateur,
and Henry Picard, nationally known
pro. Georgetown won the Eastern
Intercollegiate League championship
and, standing out locally above all
were Ralph Bogart of Congressional
amateur; Mrs. Walter r. Stokes of
Manor, and Al Houghton, pro at
Beaver Dam.

Golf

Ralph Bogart. Congressional anna
teur; Mrs. Walter R. Stokes of
Manor and AL Houghton, Beaver
Dam professional, were the top golf
ers of Washington in 1910. A year
which started slowly and with little
prospect for big-time competition
grew into one of the biggest in many
seasons, as man and woman golfers
alike staged scores of events, a re-
juvenated Indian Spring Country
Club put on mammoth Red Cross
benefit affair and sectional qualify
ing rounds for three national cham
pionships were held at Washington
clubs.
Bogart, winner of the District
amateur title in 1899, repeated in
1910, winning with Lgen more ease
than previously. He also won the
Army Navy Club title, and with
Earle Skinker of Columbia qualified
for the national amateur and for
the match-play rounds in that tour
ney. Billy Shea qualified sectionally.
Mrs. Stokes, 1889 winner of the
Middle Atlantic championships, won
the Maryland feminine title and
won the medal in the District cham
pionship.
Houghton finished the finest COM
petitive year any local pro has had,
winning first or second money in
nearly every affair he entered, for a
winning total of $500, and wound
up the year with victory in the
District open championship with a
total of 141.
Among the pros Cliff Spencer, East
Potomac Park mentor, won the
Maryland open after a tie with
Houghton and Rut Coffey. Witty
Cox shot a miraculous round of
34-28- 50 at Congressional.
The year again saw Federal links
