Homer Dooley, most distin-
guished member of the Pleas
team in The Washington Times
League, can claim to be the only
bowler in this town to trim .
whole team by himself.
Dooley was the only member Of
his team to show for a match with
the Pi-Liners, at the Recreation.
They gave him Four dummies and
with this help Homer went val
iantly to his fate.
But it was better than he hoped
for. Dooley, whose average is
about 80, shot a score Of 123 and
be darned If he didn't WIN the
first game. That hefty score took
away all his steam though, and he
and the dummies dropped the last
two. .
Frank Miller, of Curb Cafe, IN
the District League, made himself
an opportunity TO crack Washing
toms most noteworthy bowling rec
ord. then blew the chance. Miller
started his set against the Cornell
Lunch with a game Of 17o.
To beat the record in question,
asa for league set, held by Ray
Chapln, Frank needed the eGuiva-
lent OF two games Of 1872 and one
pin over. But he sIumped In the
second string and got only 1O6.
He finished right n0bly with l29
for q total Of 405. which is the
record for the season.
Curb Cafe had a big night. Shoot.

Johnny Pappas' men amassed a to-
tai Of 1,742 and whitewashed Cor

The Washington City Duckpin
Association is vigorously on the job
stirring interest in its second annual
individual tournament in which il
hopes to have 1000 participants. 1t
will be held in January, while bowl
Ing has its strongest grip on Wash
inRton's sport bugs.
, Still a subject of comment is the
banquet and dance that followed
the match between the Colisuen
girls alI-star team and the Stanford
Paper Company bowlers. With
Harry Carroll in the role of host,
the party went over with a crash,
as any one of the eighty people
present win testify. More parties
like that would add to the delight
of special bowling matches, but
hosts as generous as Carroll are
rare.
Washington and Baltimore are
rapidly approaching q relation
that should prO1uce intercity
competition on q scale never at
tempted before. Tonight, Earle

! speakers at a. meeting in Balti-
more in which the Monumental
City will organize a bowling assO-
citation similar to that headed by
Stocking.
That's the answer to STOCKING
being present. He was requested tC
give the low-down on the benefits
of city duckpin organization. II
was largely at the suggestion Of
Stocking and Carroll that Baltimore
first considered the plan. It Is un
derstood that Baltimore will adopt
the constitution of the Washington
organization.
Stocking will invite the Balti
moreans to compete In the individ

Will be open to ali bowlers, regard.

Of the Washington City Duckpin
Association. The tournament alleys
will be named by popular vote.
The two cities already are en-.
gagged on the alleys. "A team OF star

five games of a ten.game series, at
