This evening’s schedule calls for some of the boys who are doped to have great chances for the all-events crown. Jerry Pritchett will take the alIpys on the late shift, along with a flock of lads capable of piling up lots of “wood.” On the early shift members of the prominent Silver Flash team will show their wares.

Another young bowler topped the field in the singles play in tourney play Wednesday night. Earl McGarty, rolling on the early squad, turned in counts of 228, 202 and 266, for a total of 696. which placed him at the top, and hard to catch. Earl had been on the head-pin throughout the meet and also copped the lead in the all-events division with a total of 1,873, an average of 208 1-9 per game. “Rutch” McAllen also showed the boys that his high league average was no fluke when he turned in a total of 660 on games of 216, 212 and 232, which placed him second. Bert (Dad) McCarty refused to let his offspring carry off all honors and landed in third place with 657 on games of 210, 213 and 234. Those three totals were all that passed the 651 of Gilbert’s, but plenty of small 600s showed during the night's play. Earl Neppel had 630 and Charlie Llebtag secured 619 when he finished with a fine 227. Geo. Atkinson and Al. Rabe were one point away from the sleet mark, each boy gathering In 599. Leaders in the different events are: —Singles-^ E. McCarty 696 F. McAllen 660 B. McCarty .-s 657 A.

Archie Bell

In a recent victory over Johnny Vacca of Boston, twice conqueror of Fidel La Barba, Archie Bell showed plenty of class and becomes a strong contender for bantamweight championship honors. Bud Taylor, title holder, is mingling with the feathers and may be forced to pass up the bantam crown on account of inability to make 118 pounds. 1 from first to third place with their 1,265 Dick Nordholt and Jack Colvin secured 1,238. which landed them In fourth place. Argus and Haagsma were close and took fifth place with 1.227. Haagsma sure gave his partner a "ride” in this event with Sames of 178, 279 and 217, for a total of 74. This is the third 279 game of the tourney Sturm and Krick being the other two to drop the pins for this count. The all-events shows that it will take "some” bowling to bring down the cash in this class as E. McCarty has 1,873: Earl Neppel. 1,867: "Rutch” McAllen. 1,845; C. Mahoney, 1,776, and Collinger, 1,769. Bob Haagsma thrilled the large crowd with fifteen out of sixteen strikes, thirteen of this number being consecutive. Starting with a double Bob put the third hit in the pocket, but a stubborn eight pin refused to budge, he then struck out for 279 and started his next game with four more. "Rutch" McAllen was another to grab- a flock, having a string of twelve before he was stopped. It would not be a surprise to us if some pin-smasher popped them for a "SOO” count in this meet. The way the young and lower-average bowler has been securing the wood has been one of the outstanding features of the tourney and should prove to be the tonic needed for the fellow who did not enter, because he said he had no chance. The scores of this meet will show plenty of prize money for the boys who entered Just to boost their game, and the State and next city tournament should show a healthy increase in the entry list. Perce Henry says that as soon as he rolls a ball that is in the pocket he knows his next shot will be at the ten pin for a spare. He should write a letter to Frank (Tomatoes! Kafora and find out what holds this maple up. We failed to mention that Eddie Meyer would climb out of his wheel chair and roll in the doubles and singles tonight. Hope springs eternal, etc. Clarence Myers failed to get his ."hook” to look natural anu a pair of 520s was the result. Clarence cracks that no catfish were available before the game, for an alibi. We recommend that hr arrange his future games to be rolled on Friday. N. Hamilton returned front the Pacific coast in time to get In. Paired with H. Johnson he failed to get going In his usual fashion and a total of 1,112 was the result.

Vet Tennis Stars Again to Perform Tilden First Davis Cup Choice; Johnston Also / to Be Called. Bu United Press , . \ NEW YORK, Dec. I.—Bill Tilden and Bill Johnston, for many years the heroes in America’s long string of international tennis conquests, will be called upon again next year to lead what the United States Tennis Association has more than a vague hope will be, a mission that will bring the Davis cup back from France. With American tennis slightly on the decline and with the French brand'decidedly in the ascendancy, it was thought the challenging activities of the United States next year would be a gesture of reciprocation toward France and that some youngsters of the court might be sent out on what admittedly is a man’s job. ' The tennis association, however, has been making aggressive moves of preparation with no thought that* they are getting a team ready for slaughter, and for public purposes, at least, an optimistic lace is presented. Since he seems sure to remain an amateur and has a sort of tennis patriotism to fire him on, Tilden is considered the first choice for the American teamCANADIENS WIN CHICAGO. Dec. I.—The Montreal Canadiens hockey team defeated the Chicago Blackhawks, 5 to 2, here Wednesday night.

Big Four, Hoosier Triumph In City Basket League Contests at H. A. C. Two Fast Tilts Staged Before Large Crowd; Pennsy Disputes Decision in Close Contest.

" Action, in its best and fastest form, was the byword at the Hoosier A. C. gym Wednesday night, where two City Basketball League contests were enacted before a large crowd, which, as crowds go, was highly excitable. The Hoosier A. C. five nosed out the Polk Milk quintet, 30 to 25, in the opening affair and Big Four managed to emerge on the long end of a 19-to-18 count against the Peimsylvania R. R. five. The second cbntest between the two railroad squads apparently was an old “grudge feud.” and both teams went to the limit to take advantage of every “break.” The half ended with Big Four ahead. 10 to 8.

Bu United Press LOS ANGELES, Dec. I.—Responsibility for the decision on the “disputed play” of the Notre DameU. S. C. football game last Saturday was the foremost question today in the discussion of the “robbery” charge of Capt. Morley Drury. Umpire John Schommer in Chicago declined to accept the blame for the decision on whether Riley, Notre Dame quarter back, intercepted or knocked down a Trojan forward pass. The “knock down” i decision gave the Irish a touch-

blown, and a hot dispute arose as to whether the timekeeper’s whistle blew before or after the referee's WhistleOfficials decided not to count the foul and allow the Pennsy outfit to file a protest with the league directors. Howard, Modlin and Wehrel starred for the Big Four, while Huesing, Phillips and Lentz were best for Pennsy. The first game was a fast encounter, and Polk’s had an 18-to-16 lead at the half. A few moments before the end. a basket and two free throws put the game “in the sack” for the Hoosier five. Woolgar, Frohman and Sayce were outstanding for the "winners, while Hutchison and Wade were best for the losers.

Glenn (Pop) Warner, Stanford University coach, who witnessed the game, sided with Drury. “The decision made by Schommer was wrong,” Warner declared.
