With q 1O3-pin advantage and
every likelihood of keeping it, the
Capital City Duckpin Associations
all-staf team will go to Baltimore
tonight to complete its ten-game
series with the Recreation all
stars, representing the leading
bowlers Of Baltimore.
Washington won three out of
five games and gained 1O3 naples
In the first set of five games
rolled q week ago at the King
Pin, No. 1. AL Works, Glen VOL
stenholme, Happy Burtner, How
ard Campbell and Max Rosen-
berg represented Washington in
the games here, but there may be
substitution or two made in this
lineup in the Monumental City.
Joe Toomey. for one, has han.
kered to take part in the series
and may be given a chance to show
his smokeball. Toomey was called
upon ina pinch last year in an
intercity match with Baltimore and
he came through beautifully.
Word comes from Baltimore
that Max Rosenberg, sterling
anchor man, will be an attraction
IN himself to the Monumental
City bowling fans. They took q
look nc Rosenberg, noticed par
ficularly his Iron nerve q year
ago. and admitted his place was
among the leading duckpin sharp
shooters Of the land.
Make justified this estimation of
his ability in his performance
against the BaltirAoreans last week,
when, for five games, he totaled
621, an average OF 124 and a frac-
ton. Ruark starred for Baltimore
with a set OF 695,
When Frank Miller, OF the Curb
Cafe team, recently turned out a
set OF 4O5 he was handed the mitt
for having rolled the seasons high
total for three league games, but
the big hand really should have
gone to Red Megaw, Of the King
Pins
On the same night Miller per-
formed in extraordinary fashion
tn the District League, Megaw
cut loose I'm the National CAPITAL
and beat bTillsr's mark By one
pin.
Miller started with a score OF 40,
high game for the season, but
sloughed away in his last two
games. Megaw started with q 100.
score and waxed more skiIlful as
he went along, shooting 1873 in his
second string and winding up with
! 14S.
Incidentally, Reds splendid set
/ was contributed to an exceptional
team total. The King-Pins spilled
1881 pins, and like Megaw, Incl,
dentally, the team increased its
speed as it went along, starting
with 62l. leaping to 5S7 in the sec.
Ond game and finishing with q sen.
sational flourish. The last was
was GLIB. -
Megaw's first game was a bit un.
usual. He made four spares, but
on two OF them he got deuce
counts.
Reds small counts call to mind
the tough luck experienced BY

| personal match with Bill Wood.
/ Blicl. apparently beaten pulled
one of his famous strikes In the
ninth frame He needed . count
OF four to tie and five to lead.
He counted two on the strike, but
but worse than that, he got two
pins in the box. -

and got a three.pin triangle break.
That il, 1t started to be a. three
