The McGillicuddy clan made it
three out Of four from the Griffs
by coping the final game Of the
opening series at the Griffith sta
dunn. 3 to l, behind truly BEAUTIFUL
pitching by HoWard Ehmke. Once
he got lead, Comics veteran
hurler eased along to a victorious
finish by smart work in tight places.
Ty Cobb. 80 years old. engineered
a triple steal with Simmons and
Branon in the sixth, scoring the
third and final run for his team.
1t sayored OF the olden times to
see Cobb darting for the plate and
hitting the dirt, with the pitcher be-
wiIdered and aghast.
General CrOWder started. He
Just probably pitched himself
out, seeing that he was Ill only
. couple Of weeks ago. For three
innings he retired the AS in
order. Then he began crack
ing.
In the fourth pass to Lamar
and Simmons line single to right
gave the AS a run, tying the
score. The Griffs had counted in
the second on Judges triple and
Bluege's infield nit in front Of the
plate.
Meanwhile, Ehmke was giant in
strength and effectiveness. He was
too strong for Crowder. and the
latter went wholly to pieces in the
sixth. With one out Lamar slammed
a twobagger up against the right
field wall and filled the bases with
passes to Cobb and Simmons.
Sammy Hale sent Speaker on a
long jaunt for his hoist, and it was
soft for Lamar to score, putting his
team ahead. Still Crowder was un-
steady and again the corners were
crowded when he passed Branom.
The table was laid for the triple
steal, with Cobb scoring the final
run Of the day.
After Ehmke had laced
double to the corner in left field
Bucky Harris yanked CrOwder
and BraxtOn came in to take
care of the next two gents, end J,
ing the inning. Marberry was
effective in the last two innings.
But that sixth frame had been
sufficient to give the As their
triumph.
The Griffs got eight blows off
Ehmke. but he took good care that
they did nothing to damage his vic.
tory. He baffled Goslin, Speaker,
Bluege. Myer and Cullop when hits
meant runs. Indeed, Cullop famed
with runners on first and third in
the eighth. with the fans lroaring
for bingle. 1t was great stuff
by the Philadelphia veteran.
Sam Rice collected three hits but
never got beyond third base. His
followers lacked the power to find

The washington City Duckpin An
sociation is out five berries today
as the result of bit Of sensational
shooting By one Johnny Mergner,
Of the Geological Survey team Of
the Interior Department League.
Mergner made tripleheader strike
in the associations tournament at
Convention Han. 1t calls for the
payment Of IS. The association Of.
fers 81 for every donblehader. II
expects to pay considerable for
Theses. But the tripleheader pay
ments win be few indeed.
Convention Hall sWarIned with
bowler6 on the tournaments sec.
OIld night despite the tepid wea-
Their that usually kills bowling
interest.
As yet there mas been only one
rather outstanding individual per-
formssnce. This was by Harry K.
Burner, who rolled ISL with the
Washington Centennial team on
Masonic night.
This was an important mark. by
the way. 1t was a big start for
bowler who is ever dangerous in
the all-everts. BURNER is a Wash
ington record holder In all events.
A year ago in the Masonic tourna-
ment he totaled 1856 for the high.
est nine-game mark achieved in
conception ID this city. His. team
set was 4I6, his doubles, 400 and
his singles, an even 400.
BURNER, incidentally, has taken q
new doubles partner. For years
he teamed with Howard Campbell.
This time his partner will be Red
Megaw. the King Pin flash.
Campbell is paired with Glenn
Wolstenholne. Since their success
as intercity bowlers the names Of
Campbell and Wolstenholme have
been well-nigh inseparabIe.
An Interesting discussion took
place recently concerning these
two stars. Barney and Phil
SplnelIa, Of Brooklyn, and Paul
POehler and Archie Walsh, Of
Boston. all veterans and great
themselves, were to name the
three greatest duckpin bOWIers
Of today.
They were unanimous that
Wolstenholme and Campbell were
two Of them, There was some doubt
about the third. with Barney Spinella
and Poehler figuring prominently In
the discussion, though neither
Barney nor Paul advanced their own
names.
What is of more interest to Wash,
| fngton fans, however, was the yer.
dict Of these competent judges in q
comparison of Wolstenholme ans
| Campbell.
Capital City fans have become
used to regarding Wolstenholme az
howitzer that stands alone in indi
4 yidual competition. Campbell has
won much OF his fame as Wolsten
holmes partner. Glenn has eveI
been selected to shoot singles.
But the Spinellas and Poehler and
Walsh declared their joint opinion
that Campbell was the equal OF
Wolstenholme. They are backed up
by the record of intercity compete
ton. too.
