Evening star., 1922-02-05

The presence OF many competing for
the first time should make this years
tournament especially attractive. Hun
dreds of bowlers, most of them little
more than youngsters, are getting
their first fling with leagues this win
ter, and they are more than making
good. Their performances have bright
ened the campaigns generally. and
many of the newcomers are likely to
supplant the old-timers in the prize
lists at the annual championships.
So far not peep has been heard
from the Washington City Duckpin
Association. The officials apparently
have made no great effort to prepare
for this year, and it is unlikely that
a meeting will be held before next
month, If then. Some who won prizes
in the tournament last summer have
not received their rewards, and nat
urally they are disgruntled at the
delay. This matter will have to be
settled by the City Association be-
fore definite plans for the 1922 tour
ney can be formulated.

preaching fifth annual home-and-

THIS winters engagement will be the
rubber match OF the series. Supplee,
Goddard, Harry Krauss, Works and

Washington, make a formidable team
that is expected to bring home the
bacon. The three-ball tournament to
raise funds for the entertainment Of
the Roanoke quint was well patron

the final half Of the big match is con-
cluded.
Snow blocked streets prevented
teams Of the Washington Ladies'
Duckpin League from Keeping their
engagements last Monday and Tues

disposed of before the circuits second
