Lafayette Girls Gain Three-Game Margin In District Loop

Make Sweep as Rosslyn Gets Only 2-T Victory; Jessie Sacrey Leads

Lafayette Bowling Center moved three games ahead in the Ladies District League flag chase with a

sweep over Arlington as the runner-

up Rosslyn outfit lost ground by a

2-1 win from Brookland Recreation. Jessie Sacrey’s 140 and 383, both tops for the night, featured the Lafayette victory.

The third-place Clarendons also gave ground to the pacesetters de- spite a 2-1 victory over Spillway. Madge Lewis continued to shine for Clarendon with 129—354. Hi-Skor, led by Catherine Quigley’s 132 and Lorraine Gulli's 358, dusted off Ar- cadia. Julia Young’s 127—358 paved the way for Chevy Chase Ice Pal- ace’s 2-1 decision over King Pin. Christine Mores was best for th$ losers with 343. Helen O’Dea' sparked Red Circle’s 3-0 vegjfcft over Rendezvous while Alm^ui||»£ ler’s 345 aided Bethesda iBotfnpg- to take the rubber game from Takoma.

Spillway and Hyattsville Recrea- tion were scenes of the Junior Dis- trict League inaugural last night. Billy Waldron's 140—388 gave Spill- way a 2-1 win from Petworth de- spite the latter's score of 1,704 to 1,695. In a doubles match, Pet-

worth's Pret Wanan and Billy Cozlin ran up a 764 score to trim Pete Placos and Guy Andes by 30 sticks.

Despite Bily Towles lusty counts Of 147 and 415 King Pin dropped the odd-game skirmish to Hyatts- ville as the winners posted 1,768 to 1,711 for the losers. Maywood Wins- low was high for Hyattsville with 147—377. Myles Quail and Jimmy Ott posted 714 to swamp Towles and Lou Yates by 63 pin in doubles.

Know Your Waterfowl

(No. 1.) Feathered migrants again are fol-

lowing their flyways South to winter feeding grounds.

What unaccountable force of na- ture prompts the waterfowl legions to leave their Northern nesting grounds at just the right time, often to journey the length of whole con- tinents? No one knows.

The wildfowler, however, is con- cerned not at all with why over a hundred million birds decide at a certain time each spring and fall to change their residence. To know they are using nearby waters is enough. It means another hunting season is here.

He knows the thrill of crouching in a sedge blind in the evening to see a flock of birds circle his decoys. Once. Perhaps a second time. And to hear the questioning whistles of the drakes seeking an answering welcome before setting their charges down.

Only a wildfowler knows of the wonder of hearing the farofl, harsher cries of a flock of Canada geese, of waiting with bated breath as they come closer and closer, of seeing them set their wings and drop their feet, ready to pitch.

i

In this locality we are favored be- yond most, both in the size of the flights and the number of species. Surprisingly few hunters, however, know their waterfowl well. A few believe every bird decoying is a duck of some sort, and it is too much trouble to try to know them by species. They shoot on that basis, and often bring home some beautiful ducks—but unfit for the table.

Others haven’t had the chance to learn. For them a few days in a blind with an oldtimer will do won- ders. Because that isn’t possible for everyone this “Know Your Water- fowl” series should help.

Our “first” duck in this area is the mallard, but then that is universally true. Every land, every State in the Union—yes, every barnyard, too— knows the mallard. The familiar white pekin is the mallard in an albino phase, domesticated.

The native population that nest along the Potomac, the Patuxent and the rivers and marshes of the Eastern Shore and Tidewater Vir- ginia become tame out of season,

but as wary as the migrants once they are shot over.

Your oldtimer recognizes the metallic green head and white collar of the drake as far as he can see. Few ducks are larger. Top weight is approximately three pounds, with the hen weighing slightly less. He knows them equally well by the name of greenheads, grayducks, and <?ray mallard. Unfailingly he gives them credit for their fast flight, which, because of their size is decep- tive. He knows they decoy easily despite their wariness.

The mallard hen is mistaken by the once-in-awhile hunter for a black duck hen, a gadwall, and occasionally even a pintail hen. The latter’s longer neck should identify it.

Look at the purple wing speculum, edged with white in the sporty dress of the drkke and there will be no trouble in recognizing the hen. Hers is identical. ACKERMAN.

Alligators Are Rooters For Infantry Eleven By the Associated Press.

FORT BENNING, Ga., Oct. 27.— The 124th Infantry’s football team, "the Gators,” has a pair of real al-

ligators for rooters. One of them, an 8-footer, is equipped with full regalia of hel-

met, grid pants and a jersey. Known as "Adam Lazonga,” the

big gator tips the scales at 225 and might be a big help in the line if the infantrymen could slip him in when the going gets tough.

Seahawks Face Indiana Minus an Ex-Hoosier By the Associated Press.

IOWA CITY, Iowa, Oct. 27.—When the Iowa Seahawks meet Indiana Saturday, it will be the first game of the year in which one of the pre- flight school's squad members will not be playing against his alma mater.

Indiana has no graduates or for- mer athletes on the Seahawk roster, although Lt. C. A. Temerario, equip- ment manager, was a member of Bo McMillin’s Hoosier coaching staff last year.

Invisible Punch Kayo Of Johnson Starts Ring Board Probe

Purse Held Up Pending Investigation of His Bout With Komar

Another of those invisible punch kayoes was to be investigated to-

I day by the District Boxing Commis- sion, which is curious to know why Powerhouse Johnson, a local heavy- weight.went down without being hit in his bout with Buddy Komar last night at Turner’s Arena.

If the “fix” was in on the scrap the guilty parties will be hauled on the carpet and suspended indefi- nitely, but if Johnson is found guilty merely of trying to duck out early he’ll be the only one penalized. Powerhouse didn’t get paid for his appearance. His purse was ordered held up pending an investigation, and if he did take the water route the money, the whole $25, will be turned over to the injured fighters’ relief fund.

Johnson’s action may prove em-

barrassing to Komar, whose most re- cent fights will be carefully scru- tinized by the com'rpission with an idea of determining whether he really belted out his opponents or

merely was a party to a buildup process.

Joey Torres upset Oscar Wright in the eight-round feature, surviving a stormy beginning to get a unani- mous decision, and the semi-windup saw Billy Reed hand Danny Petro his first professional setback in a six-rounder.

Bobby Carcia, jr. (139) scored a t.k.o. over Frankie Mills (133) in the last session of a six-rounder; A1 Cortez (160Vi) outpointed Jimmy Johnson (160) and Roy Lewis (135) chalked up another win, this time at the expense of Frankie Martini (141).

Alexandria Flyer To Fight With Navy After Year in RAF

L. F. Stock Is One of 18 Shifted From British to American Air Forces

An Alexandria (Va.) flyer who has been fighting the Germans over Eu- rope for nearly a year with the Royal Air Force has been trans- ferred along with 17 other Ameri- cans to the United States Navy Air Force, the Associated Press reported yesterday from London.

He is Lincoln F. Stock, jr., 25, whose wife resides at,213 East Howell avenue in Alexandria. They have made their home there since Christ- mas, 1938.

To Return to U. S. Flying Officer Stock and the other

American vollunteers will return to this country for refresher courses before assuming active duty in the Navy. They are also expected to give talks of their experiences in fighting the Nazi airmen.

The Alexandrian originally vol- unteered for service in the Dutch air force in August, 1941, as at that time it was the only group accepting married men, his wife explained today. After four months of training at Tulsa, Okla., he was

assigned to an RAF unit which had undertaken training of flyers serv-

ing with a group from the Nether- lands.

He is a native of Rensselaer County, N. Y., and attended Syra- cuse University. Officer Stock be- came interested in flying while in Washington and at the time of his appointment to the RAF he was a Civil Aeronautics Authority ground instructor at Beacon Field, near Alexandria.

Brother on Guadalcanal. His brother William, 19, is a

marine now fighting the Japs on Guadalcanal.

In a farewell to Britain, Flying Officer Stock said: “Virginia hos- pitality has nothing on yours and we are going back to tell the folks at home. We thought you were

starving but I am eating so well I cannot stop putting on weight.”

Hunting Fee Reduced i

For Armed Forces In Virginia Posts

By BILL ACKERMAN. Of many requests for information

Concerning the waterfowl season

opening November 2 and the general hunting seasons in Virginia and | Maryland closely following, almost 90 per cent comes from those in the armed forces. Evidently men in service hope to continue hunting on their days off.

North Carolina extends to all uni- formed men the privilege of hunting and fishing at the resident rate, which is $3.10 for; a joint hunting and fishing license, $2.10 for a hunt- ing license and $1.10 for a county license. According to Bill Sharp the boys are making good use of the opportunity.

No Privilege in Maryland. In Virginia, only those in uniform

stationed in the State may enjoy' hunting and fishing privileges at resident fees, while Maryland makes 1

no provision whatever for the services.

This week up popped the old ques- tion about what license is needed to shoot on the Virginia shore of the Potomac. It requires a Maryland ticket to shoot from a blind on the Virginia side below the highwater mark, unless it is in a creek mouth or cove. Then if the blind is within a line from headland to headland a

Virginia license is needed.

Judge William S. Snow, chairman Of the Virginia Game and Inland Pish Commission, is receiving count- less letters, not only requesting, but almost demanding that waters down the Virginia shore of the Potomac that have been closed to comnfr- cial fishing be opened to it and that black bass be marketed for the dura- tion.

Recalling the effort required just a few months back to prevent waste- ful commercial operations—often outside the law—in these waters, we know that if Bill Snow has his way they will forever remain pro- tected waters.

It is not generally known, but the waters where seining operations have been stopped already have be- come naturally stocked with thou- sands of black bass and crappie. Belmont Bay literally is teeming with small bass and there are some of a

size that would keep any caster happy.

Santini Tournament Is Tribute To One of City's Best Bowlers

Many Spectacular Counts Made by Tony; Army Calls Rosenberg, Veteran Pinner

iriDuie win De paia one ot wasmngton s foremost bowlers when the Tony Santini Open is staged November 15 at Convention Hall. The event will be a six-game affair and the winner will re- ceive in addition to a prize of $150 a trophy given by Wootton Young, president of the Convention Hall Co.

Few bowlers have carved their names deeper into Capital Jnnlrniv. T_

before his last box one-pin victory I over Ed Blakeney in the 1932 How- ard Campbell event bowling fans had learned to look for the spec- tacular when Santini was a con- testant in some special tournament or an Important match. His battles with Astor Clarke in the annual Christmas matches never failed to pack 'em in at Convention Hall.

In 1940 he was ranked the No. 3 duckpinner of the country by the National Duckpin Bowling Congress after winning the Campbell tourna- ment for the second time, the Dixie with a record score of 2,106 and three other special events.

Shines in District Loop. For years he has been among the

first 10 high-average bowlers in the District League and this season as a member of the King Pin team with a mark of 131 for 18 games he is topped only by Ray Watson of Brookland Recreation with 138-4.

Santini also is a member of George Huguely’s Bethesda Bowling Center All-Stars, who will see action in Baltimore Sunday against the Franklin Bowling Center quint.

Another Capital all-time bowling great will be honored when Maxie Rosenberg is giving a rousing send- off tomorrow night at Wardman Park Hotel before joining the Army. The affair will be held in the Burgundy Room, starting at 7:30. Alvin Newmyer will be master of ceremonies and the Arrangements Committee includes A1 Miller, Dr. Syl Danzansky, Dr. Archie Engel and Harry Coonin.

Reggie Smith’s season record of 144 was the big wallop as Georgia whitewashed Dupont in the C. & P. Telephone League at Hi-Skor. Dis- trict and Michigan pinmen shared team highs with respective 562 and 1,572 tallies.

Dave Zirkle was tops with 372 as Team No. 45 shut out No. 26 in Elec-

trie Utility Employes Loop at Green- way Bowl. Dick Kraft’s 144 was

high single. Margaret Lynn Sparkles.

Margaret Lynn’s triple-header strike which climaxed a 132 ef- fort was among the highlights of Ladies Federal League at Arcadia. Polly Shugrue with 149 and Audrey Chamberlain and Virginia Calvagne, who tied for high set of 348, also shared the limelight.

Breech Mechanism No. 1 and Cop- persmiths No. 1 maintained their first-place deadlock in Lucky Strike Navy Yard League when the former, led by Bill Lewis’ 147 and 342, swept West Shop, while the latter routed Apprentice No. 5, with Joe Kimmel’s 129—365 leading the way. Cow- boy Johnson’s 350 led as Progress No. 1 with a 3-0 victory over In- spectors tied Torpedo No. 1 for fourth place.

A 2-1 win over King Pin gave Red Circle,a tie for first place with the losers in King Pin Ladies League. Mabel Mowatt’s highs of 135 and 333 gave Raffell’s Dress Shop a 2-1 edge over Redbirds.

Shoreham Hotel rollers dominated Diamond Cab Loop at Lucky Strike as Hank Carter’s 157 and 391 paced team scores of 612 and 1,689.
