The new Washington Ladies' Duckpin
Association. in full charge of women's
competitions on the drives. probably
will GO into session during the week
TO formulate plans for an extensive
campaign among leagues and
greater tournament next season.
While the mems event this year
was highly successful many changes
are sought. that future tourna-
mcnts may be even better. A revision
of the classification system practical
.ly is assured. Glass A bowlers gen
orally were class A in name only this
season. and the minimum rating for
this division must be lowered to NIL
the lists and raise the standard OF
competition. Such u change would
necessarily reduce the class B quail
iflcation. but judging from senti-
ment expressed by ardent pin knights
1T would be welcomed.
Would Give More Prizes.
more equitable distribution of
prizes also is desired. There has
been a tendency TO overrewaId the
high scorers. a matter not very en-
couraging to the rank and file that
mean so much to the success of the
annual tournament More prizes of
smaller amounts would prove attrac-
tive to the average duckpin devotee.
although such a scheme might keep
the por-hunting class out of competi-
tion.
Proud of their first championship
effort, the women aim to extend their
organization activities and promote
leagues during the next season. Only
one woman's circuit was active dur
Ing the past season, but there were
several independent teams on the
drives. Every effort will be made to
form more Quints and combine them
in leagues of six or more teams. Com
petitive interest would be higher and
quality of play better If the plan is
carried out. according to those back
ing the project.
The women already have made up
their minds concerning one feature of
the 1928 tournament. No medals will
be offered as prizes. AS president
