Cherubim knew at last that she
was beaten. She'd told her boss
she was going to marry Eddie Gar

seats for show AS if she wouldn't

SHE got him two tickets in the

much better - so much better
that she began to cry. AT first it
was Just little cry and she let 1t
go; it was the cry she should have

she'd heard it, because he said:

loop. Several months ago Jerry
Flanagan tied this city mark in the
Civil Aeronautics loop at Conven-
ton Hall.
Many a tall bowling yarn was
spun at the Rec among oldtimers,
but probably the oldest happening
ever witnessed in a bowling alley
occurred when a pin thrown from
the back of the row of seats damned
with spectators watching the Allan
tic Coast doubles tournament in
1886 hit Aston Clarke In the head as
the country's No bowler rose from
the bench to bowl.
The pin was intended to replace
a split pin. The pinboy was ap-
preaching the foul line to get the
new maple when the misdirecteo
pin hit Clarke. The unintentional
accident, though it raised knot on
Clarke's dome, was really an anus
ing incident. Clarke laughed prob
ably over the stupidity of the
thrower who could have passed the
pin through the crowd.
Subflooring has been placed over
the time-worn drives, but a state
ment last night from Mr.. McKeever
was to the effect that if the Recre-
alton is reopened after the war the
alleys will be replaced and other
streamlined installations made.

N. A. Golf Play Plan
Is Proposed by Pitt

The Middle Atlantic Golf Asso-
citation may put on a championship
tournament this year.
President Harry G. Pitt of the
Manor Country Club has proposed
that instead of the usual annual
meeting in Washington this winter,
the association ask member clubs
to send delegates to meeting in
June at the Pennington Country
Club near Charlottesville, Va, and
that at the same time a two or
three day tourney be held. There
has been no action on the proposal.
At the same time the association
probably would look with favor on
another women's championship
affair, such as the one held last
year at Kenwood, won by Mrs. Betty
Meckley.
Pitt also heads the Maryland
State Golf Association, which favors
a restricted series of tournaments
this year, most of them ro-amateur
affairs. The District Golf Associa-
ton has continued its tournament
blackout and has not announced it
will stage any events this year.
The Women's District Golf Asso-
citation, with its major offices filled,
will meet March 26 to approve a
slate of about dozen Journeys
The season will open, as usual, with
the Keefer Cup tourney at Chevy
Chase late in April.
