ing those they have had on order.
Hollebaugh, of course, is good
player, and for years has been a
prominent competitor in tourna-
ments. He always had plenty of
golf balls, and was one Of those
three-to-a-round fellows who broke
out a new pill when he bunted one
out of a trap and SCARED the pretty
white surface.
But now Russ hasn't single new
ball in his own private stock. He'll
get them, but right now he admits
he doesn't know where, for his out
fit, and the other manufacturers
representatives around town are too
busy keeping their customers from
yelling long and loud to give the
individuals time to play. Russ ex-
planned the method of golf-ball dis
tribution as it has been set up by
the manufacturers.
Deliveries Only 30 Per Cent.
The pros will get 80 per cent Of
their 194l orders this year. They've
been getting small driblets of balls
SO far. but the big splash on deliv-
cry will be made soon after March
l, in time for the anticipated pickup
in golf play.
BY July l 1t is entirely possible
the manufacturers may not have
enough rubber in stockpiles to con-
tinue manufacturing Of golf balls.
If that is the case manufacture will
cease abruptly. the factories will be
shut up or diverted to other use, and
there will not be any more golf balls
OF the same high quality and stand
ards as those now being pushed
across the counter, when you can
get 'em, for IS cents the COPY. That
happens to be the highest price ever
asked for a standard ball.
But Hollebaugh, rolypoly fellow
with an optimistic outlook on the
world in general, doesn't 60 sour
puss on the golf ball situation.
You know the rubber people have
been working on synthetic substi-
tutes for long time, maybe five
years." he said. II don't know right
now whether they have found the
answer to the golf ball manufactur-
ers' problems, but I am sure they
will turn out something round and
white, with some degree of resiliency
In other words I think we'll have
golf balls Of some kind. They may
not be as good as those now avail

Maritime Commission
Wins Overtime Tilt.

An overtime game captured by
the Maritime Commission featured
a trio Of D. C. Recreation Depart
ment basket ball games last night at
Roosevelt High School. Deadlocked
with Wyoming at the end Of the
regulation game, the Commissioners
scored two baskets in the extra
period to win, 1924.
A. G. O.'s margin over Bureau of
Standards was even closer, 1864
being the final score. The winners
were outscored from the floor, but
outshot their opponents from the
foul line, 6 to 2. A third game re-
suited in a 1921 victory for War
Department r. Division over War

Indians Bow by One
Point, Tech by Two
In Hot Struggles
Muroons for Fifth Time
Lose by Thin Margin;
More Action Tonight
High School Standings.
BY GEORGE HUBER.

High school basket ball coaches
= are a normal lot but if any of them
suddenly becomes glassy-eyed and
mumbles in his beard it would be
understandable. The coaches spend
long hours teaching youngsters the
fine points of basket ball but many
of them, when they dash out on
the floor, promptly forget it all.
Washington's high school players
are capable Of some of the coolest
shooting seen anywhere. They'll
throw them of their ears, between
their legs and while running full
speed In the wrong direction.
These shots have no license to
click but a surprising number do.
Ted Thomaides of Central is an
example of one doing things not
in the book. Last night he dropped
in six baskets as part of his Is
point total as the Vikings noSed out
= Tech, 1890, and not one of them
was ordinary. Paul Benner of Ana
costa is another youngster who
shoots from queer places and in
queer manners, but he, too, did a
lot of scoring last night, gathering
II points for the Indians as they
were shaded by Roosevelt, 34-33.
Both Struggles Exciting.
These games at Tech gym were as
exciting as any played in Washing
ton this season and two more of the
same order are expected tonight.
Coolidge will tangle with Wilson
and Eastern with Western at Tech,
the first game to start at 1880.
In topping Anacostia for its sixth
straight victory, Roosevelt owed its
edge not to superior shooting, be-
cause the Rough Riders missed
many more cripples than did the
Indians, but to better floor work
and ability to spear rebounds. The
Riders had a 1911 lead at the half,
but during the third period the
Indians forged in front momentarily,
20-19. That was their last advan-
tage but they stayed close all the
way with Nelson, Jim Flaherty and
Nelson hitting a streak of three
baskets in the final period that re-
duced RooSevelt's margin to the
one point supplied by Dick Koester's
foul shot.
Koester and Sam De, Shazo sup
piled most of Roosevelt's scoring
with eight and seven points, respec-
lively. Coach ROLAND Lund of
Anacostia inaugurated an unusual
defense against the Riders that al
most stopped them, putting a man
each on Frank Redinger, Charles
Howard and George Robertson with
the other two defenders playing a
zone. 1t almost worked.

Three Noted Athletes

Three top-f1ight college athletes
are on their way toward new careers
in Uncle Sans armed forces, it has
been revealed by receipt of applica-
tions from Fred Wolcott, James
(Swee0 Lalanne, and Peter Kmeto-
vic for Naval Reserve appointments

If accepted they will serve under
an able skipper, 1t. Comdr. Tom
Hamilton, former Navy grid star
and coach, who is directing the work
of conditioning student pilots under
the training program announced

Wolcott, who has been in business
since graduating from Rice Institute

hurdler and record-holder and was
the winner in the high hurdle race
in the last international meet held
in Berlin. Lalanne played football
at North Carolina where he won
All-America mention and Kmetovic
is a senior at Stanford where he
starred at fullback for the Indians
last autumn in addition to play

Art Lessard, big, lean defense
man of the Washington Eagles, is a
rink rarity in that he tosses per-

He's quite a character in action.

when the Trenton Tigers, who hadn t

their lead threatened, the score
being, 30-17, as the last period
started.
Washington entrained early today
