Jimmy DietSch, bowling pro
at Bethesda 20 Lanes, won q
dramtic duckpin victory In the
Maryland State Open, and Nor
man Titus. captain of the
Bethesda team, swept to tri-
umph in the inaugural Of the
Ed Blakeney Memorial Classic
over the week end.
Rolling at the new Long
Meadow Lanes in Hagerstown,
Dietsch won by q single pin
over Billy Mischou, who ap-
peared to have a virtual lock on
the $500 first prize. His 1872
for 10 games was fired on the
first shift and until the very
end stood up against the blast
ing Of more than 80 experts.
Titus, with 1855 for eight
games, an average Of 1874,
topped q field Of 50 in the
Blakeney. held at Queentown
Bowl. His margin over runner
up Dave Volk of Baltimore was
26 sticks. He earned $500.
Dietsch. in the late shift,
came to the last three boxes
needing marks in all to catch
Mischou. He spared in each
and on the last counted nine
for just enough. Both he and
Mischou missed the payoff In
the Blakeney.
. . =
It was the first victory for
illustrious Dietsch in so tourna-
ments. His last previous was
two years ago in the National
match game championship. For
the first five Mischou totaled
a sensational 745, including
games of 145. 1853, 122, lit. and
1873. Dietsch had 697, with q
high Of 152.
With two strings to &C
Dietsch's chances appeared
slim. But he uncorked his two
best games of the evening, 16s
and 1853, for perhaps the most
stirring tournament finish OF
the season. For the last five
his score was 726.

Worth $1,000
In Coast Golf

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 80
(AP).-A cool South African
who idolizes Bobby Locke and
intends to play at least 20
years more as a golf pro, was
$4,000 wealthier today after
winning the $4,000 San Fran
cisco international Open with
a blazing six-under-par IS
windup.
Husky Gary Player with al
most machine-like accuracy
scored six brides in his final
round yesterday to come from
four strokes behind leaders
George Bayer and Ted Kroll to
win by two strokes in a pour
ing rainstorm.
Now he and the other pros
hope for better weather in the
$4,000 Desert Classic starting
Wednesday at Palm Springs
in Southern California.
IL Under Par
The 25-year-old Johannes
burg star-on his seventh
American tour since 1955-fin-
ished IL strokes under par for
his rounds, taking a total Of
0nlv 170 StrnkpS
Hulking Bayer, the 240-
pound ex-University of Wash
ington football player who
shared the lead through three
rounds, shot even par II in a
fight for top money, but he
couldn't cope with par-busting
young Players sensational
birdie shooting in the rain.
Bayer settled for a total Of
274, while Kroll, the tourna-
ment veteran who had started
the last round tied for the lead
with Bayer, fell back to 276.
Don Whit came up strong
over the sodden 6,672-yard
Harding Park mire with a five
under-par 66 to tie Bayer at
274. The two collected $1,000
each.
Three Early Brides
i've played all over the world
and never encountered worse
weather than we had today"
Player said.
While he was picking up
three brides on the first four
holes with brilliant putts-two
of them 81 and Is feet-and
rushing home with three
straight brides on the 18th,
18th and 18th, a flock of fine
players were struggling desper-
ately with the muck and get
ting nowhere.
Starting the final round in
the rain, anyone of a half
dozen name players were in
position to take first money.
But they trailed at the finish.
Don January and Young AL
Gieberger were tied at 275, Jay
Hebert came up even with
Kroll at 276 and stroke far
ther back at 277 came Arnold
Palmer, Billy Caspar, Jackie
Burke, Ken Ventura and Ca
madam Stan Leonard.
Gardner Dickinson and
Charlie Sifford, the only Negro
playing on the tour and the
; only one competing in this
tournament, were tied at 278
. In taking $4,000 first pro
money and $500 additional in
the one-day pro-amateur event
that preceded the Interna-
tional, Player boosted his 1861
tournament earnings to $l2,-
672. High for pro this year.

HOLLYWOOD
IBy JAMES BACON
Associated Press Writer

HOLLY WOOD. - Most
everyone says that Holly
wood has become Dullsville
since actors turned producers
and dignity is all the rage.
And part Of the blame is
due to the virtual extinction
Of the ribbers, practical jok-
ers who once helped make
Hollywood a gay, wacky and
colorful town.
Even comics have stopped
being off-stage cutups.
Look at Charlie Chaplin
today. Once he was one of
the towns widest ribbers
and pulled off one Of the
all-time great practical Jokes.
The Royal Pair
That was when Doug Fair
banks and Mary Pickford
were King and Queen of
Hollywood with Pickfair the
royal residence.
1t used to burn Chaplin
that Fairbanks had the fan
ciest wine cellar in town but
his friends only looked. never
tasted. Only kings and some
times princes ever tasted
Doug's choice wines.
After a European trip,
Fairbanks told Chaplin of
meeting the then King of
Norway. That was all the
information Chaplin needed.
With the help Of Central
Casting, Chaplin hired an
actor who was a dead ringer
for the Scandinavian mon
arch. He also hired a dozen
more actors for an entour-
age.
Soon a phony Norwegian
Ambassador called at Pick
fair with the news that his
King was making a visit in
cognito to Hollywood and
would like to take up Fair
banks invitation (made to
the real King) to stay at
Pickfair.
There was one condition.
No publicity until the King
was back in his homeland.
Agreed.

banks. with a fleet of limou-
Sines, drove to Pasadena to
greet the King and his en-
tourage arriving, he thought,
by private railroad car from
New York City.
The phony retinue was in
a private car all right but
Chaplin had hired it only
from San Bernardino.
Fairbanks entertained the
retinue at a party that lasted
two weeks at Pickfair or, as
Chaplin once recalled, until
those actors finished the last
bottle Of rare vintageS in
Fairbanks cellar"
About Is years ago, a we'll
known Eastern comic arrived
to make his first movie. He
started pestering a writer
friend about lining him up
for a wild Hollywood party.
The writer gave him the
usual answer. that parties
here are tanner than they are
in Westport, Conn.
Memorable Entrance
But the comic persisted.
To halt the nuisance, the
writer came up with a beauty.
He knew of a black-tie dinner
at the home of a famous
Beverly Hills producer. for
many of the towns biggest
names.
The writer bribed the but
Ter. Then he approached the
comic.
You're in luck, baby" he
announced. II wrangled you
an invitation to the annual
dinner of the Hollywood
Nudist Association tonight.
There's one condition"
The painting comic agreed.
He was met at the door by the
butler who formally led him
into an anteroom filled with
discarded clothing, male and
female.
The comic undressed. The
butler showed him the door.
The comic. stark naked,
opened the door and stood
.there-while the fully dressed
crowd looked at him in
shocked disbelief.
In the early SOS, Vic Ma
