known from coast TO coast among follow

Leading the team will he Mortimer
Lindsey. the youth who won the natohai
all-around championship in Paterson TWO
wears ago. Next in order comes Billy
Helms. considered the most efficient
bowler with the "dodo bail that ever

i'm the anchor position.
Quinn is the weakest man on the team
vet he is sufficiently good to be cohsld-
cred star" over the long distance
route il is doubtful If a better combina-
ton could be brought together. The
team will roll in the five-men fixture on
February IS, and in the two-men and
individual competitions the day following.
Helms and Roster will form one team in
the doubles, while Lindsey and Smith
will make up another quinn probably
will have Bergman as a partner. With
the first two pairs in a good pinnins
mood they should both finish among the
leaders.
After competing at Toledo il is likely
that Lindsey and Smith will go on to
Chicago for series Of matches. Smith
went to the Windy City last fall and won
every ma ch he rolled. averaging a trihe
more than 2l6 for 2o0-odd games. Helms
and Roster have business in New York
10 attend to and will return at once.
This all-star combination will not visit
the Western tournament of the American
Bowling Congress in Buffalo. as that as
sociation issued an edict last year that
New York bowlers were not welcome.
It was claimed that they were too prone
to form star combinations. As a result,
il is not likely that any New Workers
will roll i'm Buffalo unless IL happens
that one team is entered through New
ark, where an \. Il, c association was
formed last year to get within the rules.
In the National Bowling Associations
tournament at Atlantic City the men
who compose the foregoing team will
compete with their own clubs. Lindsey
will roll With the Bridgeport club; Smith
Will anchor for the Subway Club OF
Brooklyn; Helms will be member OF the
Corinthians, OF New York, while Roster
will go with the Bronx Centrals. who
won the national championship in Roch-
