Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1916-04-16


Brilliant efforts marked the
play in the Atlantic Coast Bowl
| ing Association tournament yes
terday and last night. Records
in duckpins and tenpins were
beaten by big margins, the counts
for the doubles and teams in the
big NAPLES and for teams in the
little pins being raised consider
ably.
Sensational rolling on the part
of the Miah Murray team of
Boston in the duckpins was OF
particular interest to Washing
tonians in that their marks sur
passed greatly the best previous
score of the tournament, which
| was held by a local quint. the
Shermans. The Bostonians hung
ND a count of 1901, which I'M
doubtedly gives them the first
money in that class. Paul Poeh-
Ter, conceded to be one OF the
two or three best duckpin spillers
in the United States, had his men
going well, and their work on
the practice alleys yesterday,
when they rung up good scores,
was not an accident by any means.
That act was the surprise of the
tournament, as nobody expected
duckpin team to score a mark
approaching the figure. The best
previous count was that OF the
Shermans-l ,o4o.
Cordes Stars Get Record.
The Cordes Stars of New York topped
all tenpin marks for teams with a
count of 2.S23. While this record
stands out as a splendid achievement,
the most of the interest in the game
conferred in the work of Rider. who
very narrowly missed 800 score. He

left to watch the tenpin boys roll.
Rider had scored an 1877 game in the
first by virtue of nine spares and

put in a strike, and then spared to the
end of the game. He began his process

The grandstand seats back of the
Miah Murrays were packed when their
games started. Nearly all of Wash

to see Poehler and Walsh in action.
