A record for hitting the headpin
O. claimed today for young Jack
Whalen. who starred for Conven.
fion Hall against the Brooklyn All.
Stars.
In the team match, in which
whalen shot 61S for high set
honors, he struck the king maple
on his first ball 49 times out of so.
In the other instance he barely
missed it.
The count was kept by. Howard
Campbell, the King Pin expert, who
believes Whalen is the most ac.
Curate headpin shooter in the city.
Whalen is, by the way, becoming
the greatest duckpin bowler In the
Capitals history, according to some
Of the veteran observers.
He has everything" to quote
Campbell, for one.
Because Of his youth and In
experience In big interclty
matches, Whalen was regarded
as something Of an experiment

most hardened campaigners

nerves in this sort Of cOsnpeti.
tiOn.
Whalen admits being a bit ner.
Vous as the battle got under way,
but had no difficulty shaking it off.
Certainly his bowling was not eff.
fected. Only few times during his
10 games in the team and doubles
play did he fail to hit the object
pin. He made several almost per.
feet hits for spares that were in.

box that enabled him and Megaw

header" Jack said today. The
Brooklyn Convention Hall encounter
Is still a red.hot topic among the
bowlers.
1t probably set record for close
competition, Brooklyn coming out
ahead by single pin for the
nights play.

cording to Phil, when the return
games are contested a week from
tomorrow. The Brooklyn chieftan
was elated over the outcome Of the
Convention Hall end Of the series.
Total pins for both blocks Of games
will determine the winners.
Al Gardner, the Convention
Hall manager, requests early
notification from bOwlers who
expect to make the Brooklyn
trip. He has chartered q special

enough fans care to go he may
charter two.
