Audrey Puqh Rolls 47 Set Women Pace Tourney Roo Opens
OUTDOORS With BILL Acxss~An
No One Ever Hos Repeated in Angling
Award Made Annually in Maryland

All of which proves it is the lower
bay fisherman who has the best
chance, for neither drum nor chan
mel bass come to upper bay waters,
and the anglers who caught so many
large cobia this season were missing
bet.
Local anglers know genial Buck
Rutledge as Maryland game war
den. We wonder how many will rec
ognize him as an author in January
outdoor Life?
He writes on a subject that always
has been interesting and can take
hunters afield throughout the year.
It is of the hunting of predators
most of which are unprotected and
capable of furnishing keen sport.
Anglers are wondering what bear
ing the war will have on offshore
fishing. And, right now, there is
no satisfactory answer.
Close in fishing. such as along the
Florida coast, probably will go along
in normal fashion after few weeks,
although right now no one knows
what restrictions will be enforced.
At some ports boatmen are being
required to take out licenses which
bear their finger-prints and pictures.
Boats are clearing in and out Of
Miami for the Bahamas.
The long run necessary for the
marlin fishing at Ocean City might
not be allowed next summer. The
trips probably would be perfectly
safe and the presence of the boats
an added safeguard for that section.
With the season six months off it
will be far better to await develop
ments.
In the meantime, for those who
like their southern fishing there are
thousands Of square miles of shell
tered waters in the Florida Keys and
far down the west coast. Most OF 1t
is water that supplies a surprising
brand of piscatorial sport.
Sailfishing shows indications Of
being comparable with that Of last
year, which was just about the best
ever experienced.

Score al Boulevard
With Fat Handicap
Tough 10 Beat
Small Group Of Pinettes
First to Take Turns
In Giunt Ro1Ioff
BY ROD THOMAS.

Without fanfare, half a dozen
women fired the first shots in the
final round of The Stars giant De-
fense bond bowling tournament and
one of them, to her amazement,
today contemplated a major prize,
If not the first.
Audrey Pugh, member Of the
Tasty Diner team in the Bethesda
League, one of group of finalists
who bowled yesterday at Henry
Hiser's Boulevard, marked up games
of 100, 119 and 81 for total Of 326
and thought little of it until a
handicap of Ill pins was added.
then the young woman recognized
herself as an important figure
among nearly 5000 members of
both sexes shooting for the prin-
cipal awards in the greatest Of all
duckpin tournaments.
That 437 Is Quite a Target.
Her 437 was only six pins below
the score with which Mrs. Agnes
Nixon, Lafayette patron, won a top
prize in the qualification round
which included twice as many con-
testants as the final. With the field
cut in half, Miss Pughs 437 easily
may win her the women's capital
prize Of a $500 Defense bond.
On the same mapleways with her,
but doing not so we'll, were: M.
Miller. with 90-386; M. Emswiler
120-374; M. Diehl, 51-371; M.
Ankney, 1892 and E. Shibler, 54-
1886.
A full handicap system makes The
Star tournament, 1t appears, Gin
derella affair. Neither Mrs. Nixon,
who shot 108-443, nor Ollie Clark
old timer who rolled 72-499 at Pet
worth to prevail in the mems divi-
sion of the preliminary, dreamed
of finishing on top, they said.
Similar experiences may be ex
pected as the rolloff continues
through the Christmas holidays.
The full handicap is being tried for
the first time in a major duckpin
tournament and the experiment is
being watched with sharp interest
throughout the bowling world.
1910 Winner Still in Running.
OF particular interest today is
that Jack Shafferman qualified at
Brookland, where one of the big
gest fields turned out for the pre-
liminary, Manager Russ Diehl cor
railing more than 600 participants.
Shafferman won the mems rollo1
in last years Star tournament with
a 5-game score of 60-739. In the
3-game preliminary of the current
event he tailed 57-408. Another
qualifier at Brookland was one of
the top-fight tournament bowlers
of the District. Cletus Pannell, who
got in the tough way by rolling 400
from scratch.
The Brookland oualifiers are an
founced today, with the rolloff to
be held December %, 26, 20, 80, 81
and January 2 and 8.
The Clarendon finahsts, an
nounced today by Proprietor Eddie

Some of the alley men have yet
to turn in lists of qualifiers and roll

Golf Handicap System
To Cover All GROUPS
Sought by u. 5. 6. A.

Look for a move by the United
States Golf Association to set up
standard handicapping system
which will be universal for all or
ganizatio throughout the country.
Richard S. Tufts of Pinehurst,
handicap chairman for the U. S.
G. A., predicts the difficulties of
establishing such a national system
would be enormous, but claims it
can be done.
First move will be establishment
of a mechanical uniformity for rat
ing courses, which in itself will be
a sizable problem. Then must come
the job of adopting uniform basis
for determining the handicap of a
player against the course rating.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 22-With

ers are top dogs in the Mason-Dixon

with three wins against no losses in

easy victories in pre-vacation play

laudet.

Wartime Golf Plans
Are 10 Be Discussed
AtGroup Sessions
Maryland, Mid-AtIontic,
District Bodies Likely
To Continue Meets

The three major golf associa tions
operating in this territory, faced
with problems of continuance Of
tournament operation during the
war, will meet over the next six
weeks to outline their schedules. An
nual meetings are slated as fol-
lows:
Maryland State Golf Association,
$3.50 pm. January 16, Baltimore
Country Club.
Middle Atlantic Golf Association,
8 pm. January IT, meeting place
not announced.
District of Columbia Golf Asso-
citation, 8 pm. February 2, Univer-
sity Club.
The bellwether of them all, the
United States Golf Association, will
meet January 10 in New York, and
will adopt war tournament policy
which probably will serve as blue
print for State and sectional asso-
Citations. The U. S. G. A and the
P. G.. A. cancelled their champion
ship tournaments during the last
war and probably will take similar
action this time.
But the Maryland State Golf As
sociation is committed to a "busi-
ness as usual" policy for 1912, re-
gardless of the action of the ma
tional golf body. The Old Line State
association solons have voted TO
carry through their usual tourna-
ment schedule insofar as 1t can be
done.
DR.. A. Thomas Utz, scheduled to
become president of the District
Golf Association next year, favors
continuance of normal links affairs,
stressing one-day Journeys for high
handicap players. This organiza-
ton may vote to cancel the Dis
trict amateur championship.

Rationing 10 Assure
Golf Balls for All
Kenwood Members

Mrs. Horb Planning
Indoor Exhibition
BY WALTER McCALLUM.

Rationing Of golf balls probably
had to come, in view of the new
shortage in the spheres. But George
Diffenbaugh, Kenwood pro, was the
first to put 1t into effect. George has
a big membership at Kenwood. Out
of the total of more than 300 per-
sons who belong to the club a big
proportion of them are golfers.
He figured he couldn't get golf
balls In dozen lots for every golfer
In the club, but he would get as
many as possible and ration them
of on a first me-first served basis
with a limited number to each
customer.
That's the reason Kenwood golf
ers were able to buy only three
golf balls over the week end in
stead of grabbing them off in big
lots such as couple of dozen at a
time And that, according to George,
is the reason he'll have some Of
those exasperating pills for lot Of
his members.
"Yes," we have some golf balls" ="
said George. But we aren't selling
them in big punches. Three at a
time is enough. / figure by spread
ing them thin every one will have
few balls. And maybe I can get
more later" Smart fellah-George

Despite low temperatures plenty
of golfers braved biting winds over
