and the high, Joe Krichton's, 115.
Stocking. man of initiative, drew
criticism from some for permitting
outsiders to enter what was re
garded as a strictly local event.
But the bowling chief had plans
that extended beyond the present
tournament and by dint of hard
work for which he is famous, ex.
poets to see them effected.
Stocking is bent upon stirring
interest i'm bowling competition
between Washington and Balti-
end. Stocking merely has reciprO-
Gated the hospitality Baltimore
extended some years ago when
washington bowlers went over
and cleaned up i'm q Monumental
City tournament.
If Baltimore, with it's twenty six
cracks, can turn the tables in the
present tournament, there may be
@ bowling war between the two cities
making all past intercity colnpe-
tition seem tame. Washington is
ripe for such a war. This town
believes it has the greatest duckpin
bowlers, taken as a whole, in the
country, and is ready to snap up
any challenge.
A match with Roanoke, Va, is
now pending, but Washington has
beaten the Virginians three tines in
five matches, and this was one rea-
son why the annual clashes were
suspended last season. Roanoke ts
eager to renew the feud.
More interesting than this, per.
hans, is the fact that certain
Baltimore bOwIers believe they can
muster a team capable Of whip
ping the best Washington can
present.
