Class for
Rockies
By R. d. THOMAS

On the theory that the dub
makes the game, the Washington
Ladies Duckpin Association is
seeking a way today to gather
within its fold all the girls who
sport averages of which they are
not proud. Like some men,, some
of the girls feel disinclined to
participate in tournament be-
cause they not expert.
Yet the big bowling tournaments
held in Washington, both mems and
girls, are conducted primarily for
the mediocre and dubs. The real
stars are few, and the aim always
is to have as many entries as pos
sible. The more the merrier.
tournament strictly for stars would
attract only a handful of entries
and would be interesting to the
city's Bowlers principally as some
thing to watch. And it would be
worthwhile, at that.
Bowlers usually are divided into
three classes-stars, mediocre bowl
ers and poor bowlers. BY far the
largest class is the mediocre. 1t
is Class b in the mems city tour
naments. Glass A takes care of
the stars and Glass G the unskilled.
For two seasons the girls have
divided their b0Wlers into Just
two classes, A and b. But there
have come into the game in the
last year many girls who do not
bowl well enough, principally be-
cause of inexperience, to COM
pete with the Class b performers.
Naturally they would be reluctant
to participate in the tournament
under present conditions.
But provision likely will be made
for tsmrn. Leaders of the, associa
ton here have seriously Under con-
sideration the proposition to estab-
Iish a third class. Instead of a Class
C, which would rank the girls accord
ing to their ability, regardless OF
experience, the thought is ad
vanced that this might be arranged
as a beginners division, making
eligible only girls who have been
bowling in leagues specified time,

National Radio Fading
Tests Start February 6

Dates for the national tests of radio
reception to determine the causes of
static and fading were announced re-
Gently after 1900 of the $500 des-
ignated observation stations had ex-
pressed willingness to take part in
the survey, which is being conducted
by the Stewart-Wa Speedometer
corporation in cooperation with the
Northwestern university. The first
test will be held on the night OF
February 9, from to IL p. m. central
standard time. The second and third
will be on the two succeeding nights
at the same hours Subsequent trials
will be held throughout the winter,
should the data obtained indicate that
real progress in a search for the
causes of these two major radio an
noyances is possible.
1t was originally planned to hold
these tests in January, but owing to
the international tests scheduled for
that month it was decided to hold the
fading and static tests at later date.
Most of the observations will be
made by broadcast listeners using
standard receiving sets and depend
Ing for the accuracy Of their reports
upon their own ears. However, to in
sure the scientific accuracy Of the re-
suit, 20 control stations equipped with
electrical measuring devices and au-
tomato recorders viii be placed in
the principal broadcastIng centers OF
the country.
