A large field was expected In The
Stars 18th annual bowling tourna-
ment, recently ended, but nothing
remotely approaching the giant fig
tlre announced last night by Official
Scorer Arville L. Ebersole whose
audit revealed 1924 entries. This
more than doubled the count of last
season.
With rs cents of each dollar entry
fee accruing to the prize fund, this
amounted to well above $1,000 which
set an all-time record for the duck
pin world exclusive Of the National
Duckpin Bowling Congress cham
pionships of last year in which $15,-
900 was distributed.
Another mark was established
when the Bowlers Victory Legion,
to which the event was dedicated for
the third consecutive year, bene-
fitted to the extent of $3,066. This
was more than twice as much as
ever before derived by the BVL from
a single source. The prior record
was $1,500.50 produced by the New
York Journal-American tournament
of last season. In The Stars event
) the BVL received Is per cent OF the
entry coin. Main purpose OF the
BvL now is to supply sports publi-
cations to patients in Veterans Ad-
ministration hospitals. During the
war it sent astronomical numbers
Of items to overseas Yanks.
Gochenour, Burns are Best.
Partly because of the BVL, the
competition among bowling pro-
prietors in obtaining entries was
quite as enthusiastic as that OF the
pinshooters. In this respect Karl
Gochenour, manager of the Brook
land Recreation and George Burns,
on the staff of the Lucky Strike,
walked off with the honorS.
Gochenour inspired an entry Of
1.o79, the largest total at any plant.
Moreover, Brookland averaged the
most entries per alley bed, 80. Burns
gathered more entries than any
other hoorman, some 600. He was
instrumental greatly in landing the
Lucky Strike second in total en-
tries, close behind Brookland. Only
these two establishments passed the
1000 mark, but the Hi-Skor was
close with 946.
Gochenour and Burns were
awarded the Bowlers Victory Le-
gion Certificate. The presentations
were made yesterday by National
Director Ebersole.
Rosslyn a Close Second.
In average per alley bed, Brook
land barely topped Gait Davis

in this respect was Greenway Bowl,
where Manager Julius Singer "did

A bowler was permitted to enter
each time he rolled a league set.
The total of individuals engaged
was placed at 5000 by Ebersole. who
said this figure was conservative.
Winner in the mems division was
Charles E. Milbrook, who tailed an
even 500 at College Park with al
handicap of 81. He will collect $780,

III. S. Sends 100 Million Pounds
IOf Horsemeut Abroad Yearly

The United States is shipping
horsemeat abroad at the rate Of
100, 100000 pounds q year to help
feed meat-starved people in nearly
10 dozen European countries.
In the face Of soaring prices for
beef, pork and other meat products
the Agriculture Department has
turned to horses to provide the
bulk of meat shipment for human
consumption overseas.
The saving over a years time is
considerable. Cattle and hogs cost
S35 and $50 hundredweight, while
horsemeat costs about $14 to SIS a
hundredWeight.
Consequently, the slaughtering of
horses has become major industry
in the United States.
Leading all countries in horse
meat shipments is Belgium, which
last July alone imported 1859 900
pounds. Next is Sweden. which in
the same month received 1861 900
pounds.
Smaller quotas are shipped month
ly to such countries as Germany,
