record one in the annals of washing
toms bowling history? Is a precedent
to be set for all former years, and per-
haps for future ones, in the matter OF
distinguished scores, and Is the season
which is barely started to mark an
epoch in alley affairs?
The questions may all be answered in
the affirmative, for, in a way, the
things indicated above have already
happened and. their occurrence is due
TO three prominent factors-the same
being skinny Carroll, Earl Lewis, and
Harry Krauss. Augmenting these are
half dozen others who have accomplish
ed wonders down the gay maplewood
way, the names of Pop" HALEY, OF
the. Royals, Welsbachs. and Palace
teams, and Glenn McCambridge, that
sterling little pinner of the Mt. Pleas
ant League, who is bound TO be
conner in duckpin rolling. being promi-
nent in the gallery Of notables who
have been cutting the, widest swaths
since about September is last.
In three organizations-the Nesline
Stars. Royals, and Palace teams-Car-
roll has been acting up" something
scandalous. One of his notorious per-
petrat.ons is the registering of game
OF 143 while rolling with the Royals
last week, and a few nights before he
contributed q set of 39l for the Palace
out. in the National Capital League.
These are both marks of exceptional
merit, and are to be looked upon with
envy by the great army Of pinners who
nightly gather on the myriad alleys of
this city.
Earl Lewis. who ranks equally with
Carroll. Krauss, HALEY, and Mccain
bridge in breaking up the dope. has
started a season which certainly is de-
stined to be record one for any in
dividual belonging to any Of the leagues
OF Washington
Rolling a game of I57, the best ten
box figures received from any source
this season, Lewis caused all of the
little records which have been perched
so high up on their respective pedestals,
10 shiver and shake, and finally crum-
BILE down In a heap of dust This oc-
Cured no longer ago than last Thurs
day night, and, indeed. the bowling
community has hardly recovered from
the shock. On the same occasion his
other two games amounted TO ITO and
III, giving him a total of 37s pins. an
solutely the best figure hung ND for set
in the National Capital League this
season. The team set that evening
amounted to 1861 pins. and there anoth-
er team-set standard was bettered by
several pins.
Meanwhile Harry Krauss rested un-
easy amid the storm of little pin rolling
which he heard all about him. He could
not withstand the strain, and Friday
night he went out upon the duckpin bat
tlefield with blood showing Clearly ana
distinctly in both eyes. He was after
big game, said game being the Y. NJ. {.
A. team, which had been leading the
National Capital circuit. The Potomac
team was the opponent, and three
straight victories for Krauss and his
band Of warriors meant even terms with
the 7. NJ. G. A. quint. A glance at the
standings TODAY shows what happened.
and to one Harry Nose Krauss is
due most Of the credit, with Doctory
Lennon. J. Bernard Carroll. Earl Lew
is, and II. B. HALEY also coming in for
a big share of the laurels.
Three of the most remarkable games
OF the season were turned in by Krauss
when he was called upon to put his team
up on the same shelf with the ''Y'' bowl
ers, scores of I30, IN. and 105 giving
him set OF 379, a mark we'll worth put
ting in picture frame for the enlight-
ment Of future generations.
Peculiarly significant is the fact that
In two OF the above record games con-
tr5outed by as many separate stars
Pop" HALEY has been an important
ADJUNCT In each he has figured promi-
nently and helped materially to hold up
the reputation of his clansmen. He has
been there to answer the call and to
back the leading men and TO his con-
sfstency in the matter of getting the
wood is due the remarkable sets record
ed.
We come to the last of our Series Of
presen-day heroes. who is none ether
than Glenn McCambndPe. who is a
member Of the Park team. in the Mt
Pleasant League. McCambridge has
been rolling duckpins Just one and one
half seasons. and already he has caused
those bowlers up in Mt. Pleasant to be
cautious of his performances.
McCambridPe has set up a brand-neU
mark for high. $50 pins for individual
set, and IN doing this he boosted the
number of pins for team set from 1-54S
TO L55e-not mean achievement for one
who is almost an infant in bowling
matters.
