Helen Dettweiler, Washington's S
prominent feminine golfer, who
turned professional nearly two years
ago, today was back in town to
spend the Christmas holidays with
her parents. Helen has been travel
ing in the South for the golf equip
ment company, which she represents.
With her to Washington came
petite Elizabeth Hicks, the tiny Cali
fornia girl who was the sensation of
the 1889 national women's cham
pionship. Miss Hicks will play in
some of the Southern Journeys and
plans to play several of the Wash
ington courses on her visit here, If
good weather prevails.
The California youngster wants a
job writing sports, according to
Helen Dettweiler.
Helen will 60 back to Miami after
the holidays, and will play in any
tournaments in which progolfers
are eligible. There aren't many like
that. but one of them will be played
in Texas late in the winter and
Helen plans to compete in that one.
She won the women's Western cham
pionship in 1889, shortly after she
turned professional.

The feminine pros have about a

can trot out their best licks and
prove their supremacy over the
amateurs. Patty Berg is pro now

Jimmy Moore, King Pin manager,
today boasted a unique bowling rec

already had won "free rides" in the
King Pin Handicap, a seven-game
annual tournament to be inaugu-

Few times have more than four

An exciting match also looms be-

Do Quick Jobs
Bronson Quoites Sticks
To Refusal to Accept
Fronked Naples
By ROD THOMAS.

Dizzy from audits, Washington
bowling alley managers are begin
ming to emerge from piles of score
sheets with the names of qualifiers
for the rolloff of The Stars 18th
annual Yuletide tournament, to be
held from December Is to January 3.
Some, more or less, kept pace with
the job as the qualification round,
including every league bowler in the
Metropolitan Area who rolled a full
set at a public alley during the week
of December 9, was contested. A
fourth of the original field will carry
on into the final in quest of more
than $1,100 in cash prizes plus a
flock of trophies.
Busy with routine duties other
alley men laid the score sheets
aside and now are taking aspirin
along with figures.
First on deck with their lists of
qualifiers were Earle Stocking at
Silver Spring, Charley Parker at the
New Recreation and Walter Megaw
at the Queen Pin. On the early re-
turns it's safe to assume the 1910
entry was much larger than last
years when close to 10000 COM
peted.
Qualifiers to Be Notified.
Between now and December 26
the names of qualifiers at each
plant, with the rolloff dates, will
be published in these columns. At
some alleys, particularly the larger,
schedules will be given in detail, in
cluding times, squads and lane as
signments. A tournament rule calls
for minimum of three rollers to
drive, with PAGERS permissible.
For the benefit of newcomers to
the tournament. it is announced
again that no entry fee is levied for
The Star tournament. The Qualifier
will pay only for the games rolled
in the final-five for men and three
for women. The skirted sex used to
shoot five. too-until Miss Bronson
Quaites, former president of the
National Duckpin Bowling Congress,
campaigned for three, and won, as
usual. But Miss Quaites, whose
bowling career parallels the develop
ment of the game among women,
is on the battle path again. She's
opposed to the handicap system, vital
in making The Star tournament the
largest in duckpin history, Offering
as it does as much of a chance for
prizes to the run-o the mine bowler
as to the best.
Likes Classification Plan.
Miss Quaites holds out for the
classification plan, based on aver
ages. which governs competition in
the Washington mems and women's
duckpin associations tournaments.
In handicap tournaments the comely
Miss Quaites passes up the franked
sticks and did so in the current
event. With them she would have
qualified easily for the rolloff, but
now is on the side lines.
To facilitate management of the
rolloff, qualifiers are asked to watch
these columns or tune in on Sta
ton WMAL.
Here are the first announcements
of those who made the grade to the
final, with rolloff dates:
