Shows How Handicap
system Gives All
Square Chance
Five -'eoms Tied al Top
With 20 Only Five
Gomes Behind
Bv ROD THOMAS.

In one of the hottest duckpin races
on record the Safewsv Stores
League will smoke up Convention
Hall to fare We we'll Monday night
when members of the grocers' giant
circuit use their league scores as
qualification sets in The Stars De-
fense Bond tournament.
Of "a teams. five are tied for first
place, with the lead shared by Sani-
co Bakers. Sunny Dawn, Sanico
Office, Superb Soap and Royal
Satin.
In league as large as the Safe
way. a five-way deadlock for first
place NAV not be remarkable, but
here is a fact that is: No less than
20 teams are within five games of
the leaders.
Accounting in great measure for
the tight pennant struggle is a
handicap system which provides a
bowler with two-thirds of the diff
ference between his average and
scratch
II Ought to Be Close.
II a two-thirds handicap will pro-
duce competition as close as that In
the Safeway League, what may be
expected in The Star tournament
in which a vast ma jority of the
participants, men and women, will
receive full handicaps? These will
be given league bowlers with scratch
for men set al l29 and for women at
l20. Men without league averages
this or last season will be rated at
lis and women at 100.
The top bowler of the SafeWay
League, c. E. Bittenbender, with an
average of lis, will receive 13 pins
a game in the tournament, but will
concede many more than that to
most of the members of his own
circuit in the citv-wide scramble for
a long list Of prizes. The SafeWay
League presents striking proof Of
the argument that The Star tourna-
ment offers equal opportunity for
all. The firing will start Monday at
all alleys in the Metropolitan Dis
trict with the qualification round TO
terminate a week from tomorrow.
Prelim Prizes Attractive.
One-half of the participants at
each maple plant will survive for the
roll-off in which most of the prize
fund will be split, but the awards in
the preliminary will be far more
attractive than those given in the
vast majority OF major duckpin
tournaments
Its tough to make some low
average bowlers believe they have a
chance in this tournament" said
one alley manager after talking
himself hoarse before selling a
league OF new bowlers. but most of
the prizes. you can bet your hat,
will go 10 the men and women with
big handicaps. A lot will surprise
themselves with scores q star would
consider useless. but will be worth
to the duffer a lot of jack.
ITO show how wrong may be the
attitude of some low-average bowl
ers. consider the case of the fellow
who won the American Legion
Sweepstakes, which was held with
full handicaps. He entered with an
average OF 78."
Pin shooters desiring further in
formation on the tournament should
consult their alley managers.

on the whole, was satisfactory to
most of the team members involved.
But some changes have been deemed
necessary.
There was little fleXibility OF men,
bership on the teams for example,
and there were other reasons why
some change, in the opinion of many
competitors, should have been made
All these changes have been en-
bodied in the new team match
method Of play suggested by Mrs.
Theodore Peyser of Woodmont.
Has Background Of Experience.
Mrs. Peyser happens to be one OF
the older workers within the Wom-
ems District Golf Association. a
woman whose thoughts always have
been for the good of the associa-
ton, and one who has contributed
some worthwhile improvements to
that organization The women, er
masse, may not know it. but the
budget book Is one of the Peyser
recommendations. So when a wom-
an with the experience and back
ground Of Mrs. Peyser draws up a
team plan, it Is worth more than
casual consideration.
Major change in the Peyser team
match plan, which will be first order
Of business at the initial meeting
Of the women next month, Is that ne
team will play at its own club
This, of course, has been a bone Of
contention among some golfers who
have claimed that a team has ar
undue advantage over It's home
course. Mrs. Peyser would elirni.
nate that right of the bat.
Here are some Of the other pro.
posed changes: A committee Of five
consisting Of chairman appointed
by the president, the handicap

fight captains will direct the team
