within month, Walter e. Megaw
. star of several teams, today stands
No. / of all Washington bowlers.
He of the sparse red hair, with a
total of 410 rolled for the Joseph
Phillips Company team against the
Union Printers, boosted his Athletic
Club League average to 121 and a
fraction for 80 games.
This gives him a one-point lead
over Jack Whalen, who was leading
the city with an average >in the Dis
trict League of 40.
Megaw and Whalen will shoot the
doubles for Convention Hall against
the Brooklyn All-Stars in the bigtime
1ntercity series December 2S and
January 7.
They cO-starred when Joseph
Phillips Company whitewashed
the Union Printers in the Ath-
letic Club League. 1t was q
crushing blow to the Typos, who
were attempting to OveFtale the
Sausagemen. The latter now
lead with q f0ur-game advan-
tage over the secOnd-place
Printers.
1t was an unusual battle. Joseph
Phillips Company hung up a sea-
sons record for the Athletic Club
games of SOB. 597 and Gil. Against
these the Printers pitted 557, 56S
and 5S1; for a 1,706 total, good
AUMN 4. 1sSan oil 81 a
cisive victory. The Typos simply
held hot hand.
Despite his sensational shooting,
Megaw barely kept ahead of Whalen
for the nights honors. Jack
totaled 396. In the District League
this would have been a big help.
Whalen's Athletic Club League place
Is about ia, and really is of little in
terest to him.
Megaw for the second time
missed an opportunity to beat
Glenn WOlstenhOlme's leading
set of the Athletic Club League
42O. Red needed marks in his :
final two boxes to top Glenn's
mark He spared i'm the ninth.
In the tenth he hit the head pin
full on the nose and cut through.
About three weeks ago he did
almost the same thing. On that oc-
casion his total mark was AS.
Bert Sheehy was high man for
the Printers with 38S his second
big set in two weeks The other
was 391. Sheehy has gained four
points in two matches His aver
age now is ia.
incidentally, Sheehy also is the
champion of the Bankers League
and is figured as a formidable con-
tender in the Howard Campbell
Sweepstakes to be run IN January.
The Sweepstakes dates, by the
II and %. Five games each will
tion Hall and King Pin. in that or
der
Washington bOwlers can look
forward to three '.eadline events
that will come in rather quick
successiOn-the BrOOl1ly n Con.
ventiOn Hall series, the Howard
Campbell Sweepstakes and the
Max Rosenberg. Glenn WOIsten-
hOlme battle. There will be no
strong favorite in anv one of
them.
Since the Donaldsons beat the
Veihmyers they have received chal-
lenges from several families. The
Walkers likely will get the next
shot at the Donaldsons in the com.
petition among teams Of brothers.
The Gerald, Weidnan and Schaefer
families also are in the field.
How about a tournament for
teams OF brothersc It should be an
interesting novelty for some alley
to promote.
Paul Harrison still leads the
nualifying round in the Convention
Hall elimination tournament. His
total for ten high games is 1850.
He looks good to take the prize for
the first participant to reach 1,40O.
Joe Harrison, his older brother, is
second with 1889. Among the
other leaders are: Bert Sheehy,
with 1858; Claude Cowles, 1926; d.
%. Locke, 1922; George Isemann,
1,219: Bradley Mandley, 1.217;
