The Washington times., 1922-12-26


Jim Bakers all-star selections will
meet Philadelphia girl bowlers in
q home-and.home series and this IL
likely to be the feature match OF
the season.
Baker is still puzzling over his
task of naming the Washington
team, with seventy-six members OF
the girls league awaiting his pleas
ure. with wild interest.
They, and many others, would
be surprised none at all should
Baker, In all his wisdom, turn the
job over to an especially named
committee.
He has turned down the Philadel-
phia proposal that the match be
three-cornered, two girl teams Of
the Quaker City having answered
the Washington challenge. Two
distinct and separate matches may
be arranged. however.
John L. Vaeth. live.wire general
manager of the Recreation and
Grand Central. has offered to stage
q three-ball tournament to help the
girls raise coin for the Philadelphia
trip and Vaeth's offer Is receiving
serious consideration.
Bowlers, no doubt, would give the
tournament strong support. FOR
many are keenly interested In the
maidens' big iutercity enterprise
engineered by Baker, their official
scorer.
The Royals are delaying plans
On q proposed trip to include six
cities, meeting . strong team In
each place, until q word Of en-.
couragement Is received from the
cities in question. II would be .
largo undertaking and would re-
quire plenty Of cooperation to
put II over.
Big matches between washington
and Baltimore ceased when Johnny
Vaeth moved from the other town
20 Washington. Vaeth was instru-
mental in putting life in the Balti-
more bowlers.
Carry's Ice Cream Company puts
on an annual match with Balti-
more creamery concern which IS
well supported, but II Is not a con-
test of representative bowlers, ana
therefore lacks the city-against-city
2est. -
A great team is being formed at
the Kingpin. On 1t now are Glenn
wolstenholme, Earl Lewis, KEGS
Megaw. Earl McPhilomy,- w: II.
Pratt and several others OF abiiity.
McPhilomy, nineteen'year-oio
lad, has blossomed forth as one OF
the city's leading performers. ne

Lewis. who helped the Royals to
many records when the Royals were
q great team, recently signed with
the kingpins.
Ear, likes the new alleys. Being
new and therefore fast, they are
we'll suited to his fast ball. which
has little break. Lewis, by the
way. would be a desirable MEM
her az any team. He Is the type
Of bowler who never gives up ana
shoots lust as well when the team
is behind as when It Is out front.
A mark or two for the opposition
at a critical point has broken the
heart of many team. Someumes

victory through spirit. 1t happens

Speaking OF bowlers who refused
to be discouraged when behind re-
calls one John Gengler. who clean
ed up washington's talent a few
wears ago. Gangler offered 10

known at that time. when Gengler

The bet was raised and Gengler
won. His opponent shot better than

Holiday tournaments are keeping
the pinspillers occupied during the
holidays. The last half OF the sea
son is likely to he warm one IN
the leagues. Close races are the
rule.
