Pickings Lean for Pin
Experts in Evening
Star Yu|e Event
Clarke May Save Del Rio
Team From Woshout;;
Blue Ribbons Visit
BY ROD THOMAS.

Unless AStor Clarke makes the
grade tonight at the Lafayette not
one member Of Washingtons stand
out bowling team, Herb Sachs Del
Rios, will be in the long list of
prize winners in The Evening Star
Yuletide Handicap, which ends to-
morrow night.
Already by the wayside are Hokie
Smith, who won the giant event
last year with a tournament record
of 76O Perce Wolfe, 1887 victor; Ed
Blakeney, Tony Santini and Harry
Hilliard.
However, their amazingly poor
showing in The Star tournament
detracts little from the show to be
staged by the Del Rios tomorrow
night at the Lucky Strike, where
they will take on Connecticut's S
famed Blue Ribbons.
Opponents All Illustrious.
Shooting for the Nutmeggers will
be Nick Tronsky, Steve Dyak, Joe
Gacek, Bill Tato, Mike Bogino and
Bill Dente, great bowlers all. Teams,
doubles and singles will be rolled,
with action starting at 7 pm. On
Saturday the Del Rios and Blue Rib
bonS will fire in the classic United
States Sweepstakes at the Baltimore
Recreation.
Competition in the Yuletide tour
nament will be resumed tonight at
the following plants:
Brookland-Men, 7:30; women,
7:30.
Chevy Chase Ice Palace-Men,
7:30; women, 7:30.
Clarendon-Men, 7:30; women.
7:30.
Columbia-Women. 7.
King Pin-Men, 730; women. 7:30.
Northeast Temple-Men, 7:30.
Rendezvous-Men, 7:30.
Arcadia-7 and 9 for men and
women who missed their regularly
scheduled turns.
Lafayeette-7:30 for men and
women who missed the regular
squads.
Failure of the Del Rios in The
Star tournament was typical of the
city's maple experts. Unless it be
Evelyn Naylor of Rosslyn who tops
the Womens division, the current
standings bear the name of no out
standing bowler. Among those who
failed even to qualify for the rolloff
were Lucy Rose, Lorraine GULL and
Lucille Young, three of the leading
woman duckpinners of the country.
Most of the cash at stake in the
preliminary went to comparative un-
knoWns and it's a cinch the buffers
and semiduffers will harvest most
of the spinach in the rolloff.

Sees Butler, Three Footmen
In Call Upon Oyerlin

"I will see if the master knows
you" said the butler He returned
a few minutes later with three foot
men.
"Mr. Overlin does not recall the
name" said the butler. These three
gentlemen will be happy to kick
you off the estate
Mr.. Soose proceeded Westward
and ran into another middlewelght
champion of the world by the name
of Anthony Zale. Mr., zale owned
his title on very good authority,
having licked Al HoStak and been
kissed on the forehead by the Ma
tional Boxing Association. Like a
true champion, he was happy to
fight Mr.. Soose-over the weight.
Mr.. Soose licked Mr.. Zale.
This gave Mr.. SooSe a certain
amount of confidence. He had now
defeated both the middleweight
champions of the world, Zale and
Overlin, and did not see how he
could fail to be recognized as a
challenger OF a fairly logical sort.

The answer came promptly:
Dear Mr.. Souse: Mr.. zale has
left for the coast on a trip, but
should be back in three or four
years, at which time he will be hap
py to give you his autograph"
Mr.. Soose returned to his native
PENNSYLVANIA and sat there brood
ing, until it occurred to him that
Mike Jacobs, the great promoter,
probably would be happy to ar
range a lucrative engagement for
q man who had beaten two cham

Burns Again Is Star
As Eagles Tighten
First-P|ace Grip
Marks Up Three GooIs
In 81 Victory Over
Lust-PIuce Rovers

Norm Burns sensational stickWork
continued to be the big topic Of con-
versation in Eastern Amateur
Hockey League circles today.
Three times yesterday he flicked
on the red light over the New York
Rovers' battered cage in pacing the
Eagles to 6-2 victory. The result
tightened Washington's grip on first
place and sank New York a mite
deeper in its last-place rut
Tom Lockhart, jr, president of the
league, struck popular and
practically unanimous chord after
yesterdays match when he referred
to Burns as probably the greatest
center produced in the last five
years Of league competition. There
were no dissenting arguments after
the rangy center's great exhibition
against the Rovers. Atlantic City
and River Vale undoubtedly would
like to have him back for both could
make good use of his talents.
Burns, whose first goal tied the
bOOI4L dL Oh y anu "LIOCC
second presented the Eagles with
a lead they never relinquished, will
have another crack at River Vale
tomorrow night at Riverside. The
Jersey contingent held Washington
to a sail stalemate in their last
engagement and have pleasant
visions Of scoring an upset this
time. If Burns is right, however,
and he is pointing for a scoring
feat of four goals in one match after
collecting three in as many different
contests, the visitors are in for a
rough evening.
New York led for a time early in
yesterdays match when HOWE
Hollinger and Frank Dotten scored
in the second stanza, blotting out a
10 lead obtained for the Eagles by
Rosy Rossignol. Burns then came
through with two sizzling shots,
making it read 80 in Washingtons
favor, and they proved to be the
decisive markers.
Paul Courteau and Burns scored
again, unassisted, and Jack Macbeth
turned on the light for the last
time late in the final stanZa on
assists from Burns and Burrage.

MOTORISTS ARE
WARNED ABOUT
WINTER DANGERS

Motorists this winter are being ur-
ged by the Automobile Club of Mary
land to take additional precautions to
avoid accidents involving children.
National defense needs have great
ly changed the school safety picture
in recent weeks. The need for even
greater caution on the part of motor
lists, pedestrians, for more police pro-
lection in traffic, many more AAA
School Boy Safety Patrols and for
the highest possible patrol efficiency
are this year in an entirely new clas-
sification of Importance.
The underlying reason for this view
as expressed by Robert d. Moore, Re-
sident Manager of the Salisbury
Branch of the Automobile Club, is
that new traffic peaks are here and
higher peaks are on the way. Great
numbers of workers in new defense

JAPAN IS WEAK
ON The ECONOMIC
WARFARE FRONT

On the economic front-where mod
ern wars are usually won or lost
Japan enters full war in the Pacific
at q point of internal crisis that is es-
timated by many observers to be
deepening toward eventual disaster.
Even before the Tokyo militarists
hurled Japan against the United
States and Britain-the worlds two
most powerful industrial states
and potentially against Russia as
well, 20 percent of the Japanese bud
get was being eaten up by the stale
mated attempt to conquer China.
Before hostilities began, rs percent
of essential imports had been cut off
by American, British and Netherlands
Indies embargoes.
Initiation had set in. AS early as
the first of this year wholesale prices
had risen SO percent above their 1886
level, according to the National In
dustrial Conference Board in New
York. Retail prices at the same per-
iod had jumped &C percent.
Japan's export industries, which
in the early '30s dominated many
world markets with cheap textiles,
light bulbs, and myriads of products,
are drying up for lack of raw mater
ials and commercial outlets. Half of
Nippon's famed cotton textile factor
les were reported closed before this
war began.
Such were the devastating master
facts of Japanese economy in recent
weeks when Tokyo's political and
military leadership secretly shifted
naval, air, and land forces into posi-
ton for the surprise attack against
American outposts.
Japan's economic straits eXerted
pressure on the Empires policy in
two divergent directions.
Realistic Japanese knew-and still
lnow-that their country counld not
start war on America and Britain
without doing so at great disadvan-
tage economically.
Yet the very desperation of Japan's
economic outlook reacted on certain
elements of japanese psychology to
produce a stroke reminiscent of the
Samurai warrior traditions from feu-
dial times. Under the influence of
these traditions, Japanese are capa-

posedly ordained by Japanese divini-
ties, to spread their system under the
"seven corners of heaven"
When the final decision came in
Tokyo, probably some weeks ago in
view of military preparations that
had been made before the attack at
dawn on Dec. z, Japan chose to try
breaking out of it's economic strait
jacket, instead of having it removed
by peaceful negotiation.
Sea-girt and with 100000 per-
sons living on islands of an area a
bout equal to California but tillable
only between the numerous mountains
Japan depends on food imports from
it's colonial Empire even in normal
times. Poor rice crops due to weather
and withdrawal of man power for the
China adventure, have driven Japan
to lean on Indo-China for the daily
staple. Transport must be by sea
past the PHILIPPINES.
The head of the Japanese Food
stuffs Bureau, M. Yukawa, described
Thailand, Burma, and Indo-China as
the Japanese Ukraine" He said
Japan would defend this southern
lifeline. That is now major task
for the Japanese Navy.
Additional difficulties connected
with fish, oil, metallic ores, steel,
power, and industries, might be cited.
And over this a debt of $4,000, 000, 900
yen, equal to about $7,000,000,000.

industries, persons working at new
locations, and many Army and Navy
drivers, are unfamiliar with routes
and their hazards. Many persons al
so are driving more under pressure
and often with their minds on other
matters.
Since there are more children in the
schools and more automobiles on the
highways it is even more important
than ever this year to drive with the
proper caution. Many little tots six
years of age have started to school
for the first time and do not have the
presence of mind to "watch out" that
the older students have. Through
safety instruction talks and lessons
to students in their classrooms the
Automobile Club is making every eff
fort to make these children more
safety-minded. With the opening of
schools the Club resumed furnishing
full equipment for their AAA School
Safety Patrols to Maryland's schools,
public, private and parochial. Last
year more than 1926 school safety pa
trolls operated under the sponsorship
of the Club with an enrolment ex-
ceeding 5000 boys and girls. More pa
trolls and patrolmen are safeguarding
the lives of their fellow schoolmates
this year.
Motorists are urged to use special
care in driving in school zones, and
on the highways where groups of
school children are walking to and
from home. They should also recog-
nize the Importance of strictly obey
ing the school bus law, which requires
motor vehicle drivers to make a COM
plete stop while bus is taking on or
discharging children.
The Club asks each individual mo-
torist to assume certain responsible
ity and extend their fullest coopera-
ton. A good slogan to adopt while
driving is Keep your mind on what
you are doing"
