Bobo Olson May Box
Troy-Mims Winner

A bout here in April or May
between Carl (Bobo) Olson, con-
tender for the world middle
weight crown, and the winner
of the Willie Troy-Holly Minis
fight at Ullne Arena, was in the
making today, with receipt of a
wire by Promoter Goldie Ahearn
from Dewey Fragetta, Olson's
manager.
Ahearn has offered Fragetta
$500 or 80 per cent of the gate
to bring Olson here. He wired
from New York that he would
consider matching Olson with
the winner of the Troy-Mims
bout pending the status of an
Olson Turpin fight. Call me for
definite date" Ahearn said April
/ or or May 13 are available.
Troy scored four-round TKO
Monday night over Art Soto in
Providence, R. l., for his Goth
straight victory. Either he or
Minis, who has fought some of
the best with credit, would rate
as a worthy opponent for Olson.
Troy is training in. Stillman's
Gym in New York, while Minis
is working out each afternoon
here at the Arena Athletic Club.

Row With Official
Caps Dismal Night
For Georqe Mikon
By fne As.oeIoie6 fre..

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-George
Mikan was still trying to cool
off today after Cd one of his
worst nights in professional bas-
ketball and (2) a run-in with
Referee Stan Stutz.
The New York Knickerbockers
whipped Mikan and his Mime
apolis Lakers. 1868, last night
in battle of division leaders
Of the National Basketball AS
sociation, and it was Mikan who
supplied most of the post-game
talk for the 1929 onlookers in
Madison Square Garden.
He took 19 shots at the bas-
ket from the floor and found
the mark only twice. Added to
three fouls, he scored a total
of z points. Sweetwater Clifton
Of the Knicks did a fine job
keeping George away from the
goal.
In the final quarter, Mikan got
into an argument with Stutz
and the arbiter called q techni-
cal foul. This led to more words
and Stutz called another. BY
this time both Mikan and StutZ
were furious, and they stood
toe-to-toe jawing at each other
until mediators separated them.

GuethIer Nobs Bowling Lead
With Two Sensational Sets
RY Rod Thomas

Like the dog that grabbed the
bone Of contention. Frank (Bub)
Guethler, crack southpaw bowl
er. held the lead in a sensational
race for the District Major
League championship today
while Bill. Mischou and Tom
Mock regarded him with a touch
Of amazement.
When the District Leaguers
swung into action last night, the
rivalry between Mischou and
Mock was paramount. Mock. of
the Glebe team, and Mischou of
Arcade Pontiac, virtually were
tied for the lead, Mock with an
average of 127-30 and Mischou
one pin behind. These two, it
appeared for weeks, would fight
it out for the title.
All that was changed last
night when Guethler rolled q set
of 442 while Mock shot 341 and
Mischou, 334. among their poor
est performances Of the season.
Has 5O-Pin Margin.
So today Guethler is on top
with an average of 1888 for e
games, with a 50-pin edge over
Mock (127-3O and 56 ahead of
Mischou u24-24.
It was Guethler's second
straight big set. Last week he
rolled 447. Thus, in his last six
games he's averaged 148-1. In
that stretch, according to the
figures of Scorer John Parise,
Guethler picked up $50 sticks on
Mischou and 207 on Mock. His
games ranged from 1856 to ITO.
Moreover. he picked up the
lead in spares. With a total of
255 he supplanted Rocco Nocero
Of Glebe, who dropped to fifth
with 245. preceded by Mischou,
254; Harry Stewart Winchester
Packard). 253, and Pat Crescent
(Glebe). 246.
Leading the parade is no new
experience for Guethler. In 1914
and As. he was the areas top
ranker. According to some au-
thoritieS, he's been the best
southpaw duckpin bowler in the
country for many years.
Guethler's 442 led the Globes
to sweep over Winchester
Packard which increased their
f1rst-place margin to 10 games
over Little Tavern, the runner
up, which won two from Arcade

ond hole, where he knocked In
a wedge shot.
In '39 the pros were back for
the only pro-amateur held there
and scoring conditions were
ideal, with hard fairways but
soft green's with good putting
surfaces. Houghton, in the
midst of one of his torrid scoring
Streaks. was out in 80 and back
in "a for his, record round. Some
of the other pro scores we're Ills
by Cox, Walper and Jamison.
The low amateur that day
was Nate Kaufman. then a $50
pound Junior golfer from Balti-
more and extremely tournament
minded. Now Nate plays only
occasional social golf. Nate shot
a So to edge Roger Peacock by
a stroke. Bobby Brownell, who
needed par golf on the last three
holes to tie kaufman, finished
with two bogeys for a 70. That's
where Argyle used to get you.
The first five holes were COM
paratively easy pars, but the last
four were tough. and still are.
Peacock. now the pro at Sligo
Park and Glenbrook, virtually
grew up at Argyle. His back yard
bordered the course, and even
when a member of Indian Spring
he would drop by Sligo Park for
a fast nine holes once or twice
a week.
In addition to his competitive
68 and 50. Peacock has played
nine holes at old Argyle in 20
and l8 holes in IS, and has had
dozens OF nine-hole rounds in
the low 30s.
When it was Argyle the course
was host to the Maryland Junior
championship in 1912 but the
best scores were 75s. Eddie
Johnston of Baltimore and Bill
Cassidy of the host club tied at
that figure and Johnston's par
36 won the playoff.
Lew Harrison, four-time club
champion, had an unofficial 81.
His caddie that day was Keith
Kallio. Harrison was known as
the perennial club champion,
and when he wasn't winning he
was medalist, or runnerup.
That's when it was Argyle, re-
member. Now it's Sligo Park,
in case you've become confused.
