AH game here are looking IOf
/ WI Glenn Wolstenholme, last
1 years premier bowler of the
/ District, to make great fin
| ish in the Howard Campbell sweep
stakes at Convention Hall Saturday
night. In fact, there are a number of
devotees of the sport who are some
what certain that Glenn will hit the
pins well enough to be in front OF the
! field when the final game is shot. But
probably not so many of them have
| stopped to figure just how difficult it
might be for Glenn to overhaul the
men now ahead of him.
1 Perez Elicit now heads the pack
with 1D-gaf1e total of 1.24S, exactly
Al pins ahead of Wolstenholme. who
is in fifth place. Should Elicit hold to
the average he has set for the first 10
games when he bowls the last five
game block Saturday, Wolstenholrne
would have to hit the pins at a clip
of 1873 per game to finish ahead of
Perez.
But aside from Elicit. there are
Glenn Weidnlan, Joe Mulroe and
Henry Hiser for Wolstenlloline to con-
slider. Weidman, with five games to
go, is but IL pins behind Elicit and
holds an advantage of 80 pins over
Glenn. Mulroe and Hiser are just
ahead of Glenn, but they have been
going along in splendid manner in this
| tournament
Wolstenholme may uphold his pres
tige as a great money bowler and
carry on to the richest prize ever
offered in local duckpin event but Ii
he does it would be the greatest up
set in the annals OF the sport here.
A meeting Of the Washington City
Duckpin Association will be held Sun
day morning in the oak room Of the
Raleigh Hotel. starting at 1890
o'clock, and President Henry TAFT
Rodier hopes that it will be well at
tended. In addition to the election of
officers for this year, a formal tourna-
ment schedule will be planned and
other business of much interest to
the duckpinners discussed.
In all likelihood, a slate for the cleo
ton has been considered by men in
terested in the welfare of the associa-
ton, but IL so it has been kept well
under cover. 1t is no secret, however,
that President Rodier will not be a
candidate for reelection. When he as
sumed the Office last Winter, Rodier
let the association know he was TAX
ing the job for one term only.
The w. G. d. A. went along swim
