The American Bowling Con-
gress, which made a highly or
ganized sport Of a pastime and
caused it to grow by leaps and
bounds, places high promotional
value on the Match Game
Championship. The proprietors,
with an eye ever cooked for busi-
ness, nevertheless are proud Of
their baby in a strictly sporting
sense.
Events have shown that the
Baltimore proprietors are con-
cerned almost exclusively with
the Immediately available nickel.
For many years they've given
minimum support to the National
Duckpin Congress, yet the Con-
gress has been of inestimable
benefit to them. In Baltimore,
the proprietors run the game in
all its phases. The Monumental
City's Congress sanctioned
teams number 402. In the
Washington area, the figure Is
3,442. The Congress existence
depends on sanction fees and It's
work Is seriously hampered by
Baltimore's failure to meet a fair
share Of financial responsibility.
There were so few sanctioned
leagues in Baltimore that its
proprietors asked that the sane
ton be waived in order for the
city to hold a qualifying round
for the National All-Star tourna-
ment. The BPAA granted the
request. for one year. in order to
have Baltimore's bulging bowling
population represented.
Then the Baltimore proprie-
tors withdrew from the BPAA--
and deprived the An-Star tour
nament Of much Of its finest
material.

u. 5. BobsIed Veteran
Banned Three Years
BY yIniernaiionaIB Body

| ST. NORTH. Switzerland
Jan. 29.-The International Bob
sled Federation today banned
Stanley Benham. veteran driver
from Lake Placid. N. Y. from
| International competition for
three years.
The action Of the executive
committee was taken at its an
nual meeting tonight IN conjunc-
tion with the 1855 world bobsled
championships. Albert Maier,
Swiss member of the federation,
announced the action and said,
This decision results from the
withdrawal of Benham from the
four-man championships in 1854
and also from the improper let
tiers he addressed to the press
and the president of the FIBT. /"
The ban viii apply until March
81. 1858.
One European member of the
committee, who asked not to be
identified. said the FIBT in
Vestigation showed that, Benhum
displayed an incorrect attitude
toward the FIBT and a lack of
good sportsmanship.
Benham set, a new four-heat
record and topped the sim
gle heat mark twice on the Mt.
Won Hoevenberg run in winning
the Adirondack AAU four-man
championship at Lake Placid,
N. Y.
Maier said the action taken by
the Bobsled Federation applies
to all international competitions,
including the 1856 winter Olym-
pics at Cortina d'Ampezzo. Italy" :"
Benham. one of the United
States best bobsled drivers in
recent years, won the four-man
world crown at Lake Placid in
i949 and again the following
year at Cortina, Italy.
He recently broke the record
for two-man bobsled on the
Lake Placid slide.
Benham learned of the action
when he returned here tonight
from a short hunting trip and
said. II am very much shocked.
Although the FIBT said the
ban applied to the 1856 Olympics,
Elwood S. Kerr of Lake Placid,
chairman of the United States
Olympic Bobsled Committee,
said "Benham is an amateur in
good standing and is entered in
the Olympic tryouts. We see no
reason why he will not compete"
The tryouts open February IL at

Giles Says Owners,
Fear Move Because
OF Lack Of Players
BY the Assoeiessd Pres,

BY the Associdfsd Prsss
NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-The
National League today aban-
doned the idea of expanding to
10-elub organization. Warren
Giles, league president. said, 'It
is my conclusion there is no
sentiment for any 10-club league
uoW."
Giles said no formal or infor-
NAL" vote was taken at today's
league meeting, but the exparl-
sion idea was discussed for an
hour and a half.
Giles said the general senti-
ment Of the club owners seemed
to be that expansion Of 10 clubs
might dilute the other eight
teams already in the league.
other reasons cited. he said, were
that there would be too many
second-division clubs In a 10
club league and that there
weren't enough ball players OF
major league caliber to go
around.
Sees No Edge for Rivals.
Asked If the action, taken at
special league meeting to look
over schedules of a possible 10
club league, did not give the
American League an edge In the
Majors battle for new territory,
he replied:
eve realize all those things.
II they (meaning the American
League). want to go to 10 clubs,
let them. Maybe we'n be better
Of than they"
The league head explained,
however, that he did not want to
shut the door on any future
changes within the framework
Of an eight-club league.
Practically everyone feels
some cities not in the majors
now eventually will be q the
majors" he explained. How
and when, don't know, but it
is inevitable. Maybe by transfer.
Maybe by third major league.
but / don't think So"
Giles said the owners spent
hardly any time at the meet
ing discussing the so-called dry
run" schedules for a 10-club
league which he had sent them
In advance.
nj. A. L. Meets Today.
The National League action
came on the eve Of a scheduled
meeting tomorrow of the Ameri-
can Leagues Realignment Com
mittee
Although he consistently re-
fused to name any cities in
volved, Giles said he felt pretty
sure that if Milwaukee hadn't
built a stadium OF major league
caliber,. it wouldn't have gone
major league.
"And if other cities had major
league parks" he continued,
"they might be closer to the
majors than they are now. /
don't think it would be difficult
to get sentiment to shift a
franchise"
In the next breath. however,
he added:
II don't like to encourage any
city to pass a bond issue to build
q major league park"
. Again he refused to name any
cities in connection with possible
bond issues.
No Expansion in Sight.
Asked whether the National
League, action ruled out expan-
sion to 10 clubs forever" he
predicted that such expansion
won't be the subject of discus
sion in the league very soon."
The emphasis was strongly on
the words very soon."
The league also passed on sew
eral minor matters.
Giles said the home club now
can reschedule any rained out or
otherwise postponed night game
on any open date. or by changing
q day game to a night game,
without consulting the visiting
team.
The league also passed a rule
requiring each club to list all
persons or corporations owning
stock In the club. he said.

Huguenot Society Of the

as she talks Of the Huguenots.
1.-THE members of the Hugue-

concern Is to bring Huguenots
together for companionship
and a meeting Of the minds"
There are $50 members in
Washington with headquarters
at st. Johns Church, Lafayette
Square. DR.. Leslie Glenn, rec
tor Of the church, is present
chaplain Of the national So
ciety. He is q Huguenot. as is
Bishop Angus Dun. Mr.. Charles
I. Macdonald is now president
Of the local society.
Who IL Eligible?

the -Edict of Toleration on
November 30, 1887" She adds,
IF you have q drop Of French
blood in you. the Huguenots
are for, you"
Mrs. Sebree is descended
from Pierre LIE Hew who came
to the United States early in
the 18th century during the
persecution Of Protestants in
France.
Apparently he had a great
deal of money and influence"
says Mrs. Sebree. "as his enc

Mrs. sebree's late husband
was also Q Huguenot and q
Washington lawyer. On their
wedding trip the couple went
to Boston and Cambridge. Mr..
Sebree was showing his young
bride the edifices Of his alma
mater when she looked up and
confessed. "All my life I've
thought I would like to be q
lawyer" He just smiled and
replied that he saw no reason
why she shouldn't be.
Two days after their return
10 Washington they were out
driving when Mr.. Sebree
stopped the car In front Of
George Washington Univer-
sity. Didn't you tell me that
you would like to be q lawyer?"
he asked. Better run In and

II was 30 surprised" said
Mrs. Sebree. "that I couldn't
refuse. 80 I registered. I al
ready had my Alb degree from
the University of Kentucky.
Two years later I brought my
LID degree home and put it
in my husbands lap. In two
more years I got my masters

AS q result Of her study Of

fessionally as DR.. Margaret
