Wood Presents
New Wrinkle
for Duckpin
Exhibition
By Ii b. THOMAS

Harry Krauss once rolled ten
pins for "a hours without letup,
thus establishing world endur-
ance record, but ten games Of
duck pins, rolled in rapid order,
constitute too much physical Ell
fort for little ball star to show
at his best.
This conclusion has been reached
BY some Of the bowlers who are
involved III the individual
matches of which Earl McPhilOny
is now the leading hero.
Twice McPhiIonny and Al Work,
whom he defeated. did the ten
game trick, rolling five games In
the singles with five in the doubles
following Immediately and neither
reIished 1t. Both were too worn
near the finish to maintain their
highest order OF skill
Now comes suggestion from Bill
Wood. the Kingpin manager, which
sn1acks of common sense. He would
have none Of the contestants shoot
more than five games in one show.
And that's what the Individual and
doubles matches were planned Tor
which the city's foremost perform
ers could exhibit their skill, just as
Walter Hagen plays exhibitions for
golfers.
Whether the matter or cham
piOnslip was 10 be involved was
left to popular opinion. the entire
procedure having been without
any official character
INSTEAD of having the principals
in the singles shoot on the same
night in the doubles why not have
two other pairs fight ii out fl d
preliminary with the winner to
meet the pair on top?" asks Wood.
The pair on top right now are Ne
Philony and Perez Elicit.
McPhilomy now IS besieged BY
Ichallengers, with Max Rosenberg
and Glenn WolstenEolnne having
first and second call respectively. It
''Wny not let two Os the cliaI-
lengers fight IL out for q crack
at McP hil0nly?" continues Wood.
Bills plan breaks away from the
original scheme but 1t sounds like
sensible departure. BY shooting
only five games a bowling star
could turn out every string skill
fully and without strain. And with
Woods idea in effect, the bowling
bugs would be privileged to see
six stars in one show instead Of
four.
The individual competition has
aroused so much interest that
Henry TAFT Rodier. president Of the
Washington City Duckpin .Associa-
ton, is considering a plan, to be
put before his organization, to hold

ment, along elimination lines, in

"Once again the experience and

out-fought the youngster all the

ment he didn't have the upper

TNANE NORTON, of the same
paper, scampers across the
parchment with the following:
"McLarnin is headed straight
toward a match for the feather
weight championship of the world
within the next few months, and
within a year will be battling for
the lightweight crown. Taylor is
the logical opponent for Charley
Phil Rosenberg, and is a cinch to
take the present titleholder if he
ever gets a chance to show.
"Those who had an idea that
Taylor deliberately fouled Nc

WINGED that Taylor lost to Jimmy
