whoop it up! let's have some pep"
This Is what those southeast bowlers
wanted and this Is what they had as the
old Camp Emery Building was some
noisy place last night when the bowl
ers Joined in with the well-flled grand
stand and whooped things along.
Although no records went by the board,
all the bowlers pitched in and made the
Southeast League night OF the Atlantic
Coast Bowling Tournament one that will
long be remembered by those present.
Pat Malone's bunch from down by the
navy yard turned out in grand style.
Each team was uniformed in new shirts
and some of the monograms were OF the
most tasty variety.
The Midnight crew presented the best
appearance with their gray shirt with
the name across the back. On the arm
Of each OF the bowlers was a clock, with
the hands pointing at the old midnight
hour. Attired in a soft white shirt, the
team from the Schlitz Brewing CON-
pany wore the monogram of the COM
pany, which was brought out in a silver
tinsel on a blue background.
During the rolling of the second game,
when the noise had died down a little.
Capt. Burns DeMar. OF the Nesline
Stars. brought on his band. under the
leadership of Lefty Wooden and Joe
Oiiveri Even with the band and a great
number OF rooters pulling for every
ball thrown, the teams were unable TO
record any high scores. The Oaklands
put across the high team set OF the
night among the southeast teams, with
count of 1.457, while the Southeast Stars
registered 1,47.
Henry Roder's Real Rollers proved to
be the real rollers of the night, as they
gathered the greatest number OF pins
and landed the second high game OF the
duckpin teams bowling to date by splitting
l4T0
The schedule today will bring out some
of the best bowling teams in this city and
a crack bunch from Baltimore. On Fri
day night the knights Of Columbus Of
the District will hold sway and President
P. T. Mccain has promised one big time.
The team OF Burdine and Eckstein,
which were the favorites with the large
gallery present, lead the bowling in the
doubles. This pair two years ago an
nexed the double championship and the
first money in this event at the National
Bowling Congress tournament held in
Baltimore. Burdlne lead the team with
a set of 800, while Eckstein gathered 81,
bringing their total to liz pins. Cor
man and McLennon were second with a
team total of 1.076. German was high
with 5Ss while McLennon followed with
5S7.
In the duckpin doubles the team of
Riechard and Jay from the Capital Hill
alleys hung up the second best score in
the doubles by hitting the naples for a
count OF SIS. Crenshaw and Carter, tr.,
are first in this line, having made 65 on
Tuesday evening.
Eckstein kept up his good work in the
singles by grabbing off a set of SS7,
which is high In this class SO far. Cor
man with a set OF a5, is next In line.
Wolsteinholme hung up the high set in
the duckpin class yesterday afternoon
by totaling a set S25.
It was rumored around the building last
night that the local bowling fans might
not get their chance to witness Herr
Getz in action, but no offcial conhrma-
ton could be given for the rumor. 1t
seems that the famous Dutch count
desires to roll on the date that he was
originally scheduled. which was this COM
ing Friday night, but he is listed on the
program for the Syracuse night. Teleg-
raph communication between National
Secretary Donovan and Herr Getz yes
terday was the cause Of the rumor. but
to date, although no date has been set
tied upon. the officials of the tourney are
confident that the famous Dutchmen will
be on hand.
