By JOHN A. DUGAN.

Yesterday was the day for smashing
high marks in the Atlantic Coast Bowl
| ing tournament Quite q few changes
! were made in the singles and doubles In
| both the tenpin and duckpin classes, but
the twenty-five teams which rolled In
two squads last night failed to dislodse
| the Marquette team of the Knights Of
| Columbus League from first position at
duckpins.
The nearest total TO the Isis hung up
by the Marquettes on Friday night was
made by the Velvet Kind team, Of the
| National Capital League, when they hit
the naples for a count of 1,tS9. which
gives them second position in the duck
pin team standings. The Palace team
also showed good form and came through
with a team set of 1,I76, which ties the
| Miller Brothers German Cafe, of Balti-
more, for third honors.
Harley and Houser were the big guns
with the Velvet Kind outfit, as the first
| named hit the NAPLES for a set of SlS
| while Houser gathered 3l2 In his three
efforts.
Although the Portland A. c., from
Portland, Me, and the Goodnow Annex
team, of Boston. Mass, are two crack
| teams at tho .csndlepin game in New
| England, they found a tarter In the local
Royal team. The New York avenue
outfit smashed the long pins for a l,ss7
total. which is sure to bring home some
of the bacon. Lewis, Of the Royals led
the candlepin bowling for the light with
| a set of S33.
The bowIers at the matinee session
OF the tourney yesterday smashed the
high marks for . fare-you-well Wash
lngton's best tenpin bowlers were forced
to take a few steps back in the doubles
and singles in this class, while a few
| changes were made In the ranking of
/ the high teams and individuals in the
duckpin doubles and singles.
| The Cream OF Kentucky team from
Buffalo jumped into prominence yester-
day afternoon when its bowlers smashed
the naples for keeps. In the tenpin dou-
j bles Dsntz and G. Sehawbl. Of the Buff
falo outfit, hit the pins for a count of
1,l5. Although these Buffalo bowlers
jumped into first position they were not
the only ones to top our local cracks,
; Burdine and Eckstein. in this class, as
: Lambert and Kline. of the Tigers of
, Philadelphia, grabbed of second position
with a count of Lbs. while Hartley and
Barri. of the same team, landed third DO
\ sition with a count of l1l6
Quite a few changes were made in the
! singles in the tenpin class. although the
local bowler, Eckstein, is still perched in
| first position with a count OF 5l7. The
other four high positions in this cIas
were changed. as BARR, Of Philadelphia,
took second place with 565, while Solo
mon, Of the Buffalo team, grabbed third
honors with 562. Lambert, of the Quaker
city team, made SOL, which gives him
fourth position, while Jacobsen. Of the
Royal team of this CITY, scored GAG, bring
| Ing him into fifth position.
| But one change was made in the duck
! pin doubles. Conncanon and Johnson,
of the Crescent team from Lowell, Mass.
tied Crenshaw and Carter, jr.. for fourth
place with a set of 62S.
In the duckpin singles T. F. Kelley
smashed the mark made by Nick Chacon-
as by topping his figure of $40 by seven
pins. lie Burn, of the Lowell outfit also
jumped into third place with a count OF
Us, which is two pins better than the
marks OF Wolsteinholme and worthing-
| ton, of Baltimore
The largest matinee crowd of the tour
| nament was on hand yesterday, roofing
/ and pulling for Harry Krauss and Eddie
McKnew. of the local crack tenpin SPILL
ers. Krauss and McKnew failed to live
up to expectation as neither Tailed a
900 game.
