Intercity matches with Pittsburgh
and Baltimore and record-breaking eX-
hibitions by the King Pin Stars have
caused the fans to turn out in droves
to see Washingtou's best pinspillers in
action A still greater treat is on the
cards for the devotees of the small
pin game, when the renowned Miah
Murray team from Boston comes to
this city on Saturday, February p, TO
roll a five-man team, with singles and
doubles, at Convention Hall. The
Beantown crew is generally admitted
TO be the greatest small-ball quint in
the country and it remains to be seen
what success will attend their efforts
when stacked up against the best that
this city can muster.
Paul Pohler and Archie Walsh have
long reigned supreme in the New Eng
land section as a doubles team, and
the former has come to be recognized
s the champion in individual events
with the miniature naples. 1t has been

Anywhere from 80 yards from the

earlier he was beaten on the last

We do not know what sort of base
ball PLAYER John ?. Evans was, but it
is pretty safe wager that he hit
about .240 and was a ballhawk in tbs
field. For fielding can be learned by
hard and conscientious practice, the
batting eye is born with you.
Every season Evans starts poorly
and has to struggle to get anywhere.
His without practice speed must
be somewhere around $500. And yet,
through sheer determination, by con-
centrating on his shots and getting
every bit of wood possible. he inva-
riably winds up his seasons with an
average around 100.
He is an eyer-preSent source of en-
Courasenent to the man seeking, UNI
der difficulties, to enter the magic
1000 circle; while his habit of going
after everything in sight might well
be emuated by many of the stars
of the alleys.
Evans, by the way. was a member
of one of the most remarkable duck
min fyes ever nut on the floor in the
District-Reds Megaw's Park Athletic

IJven down to the final series oppo-
nents did not seriously rate them as
having sufficient ability to emerge as
winners. but they made duckpin his
tory by carrying off top honors
through a most remarkable display of
spirit and determination to succeed
keen enthusiasm and team loyalty.
