= e Saturday Night.
BY r. J. ATKINSON.


Two of Washington's ranking woman
6Hckpin stars plan to demonstrate TO
the bowling public next Saturday night
tiaat the time is at hand when the fair
bowlers are to challenge the supremacy
o: men in the art of spilling NAPLES.
Marjorie Bradt and Marie Frerc will
compose a duckpin duet which Is TO
meet Howard Campbell and Arthur
logan. King Pin stars. to demonstrate
chat the once wide breach between the
man and woman bowler is thing of
the past. These combinations will cash
IT. a five-game match at Lucky Strike.
Arguments have been heard pro and
con around local bowling establishments
as to the comparative strength of man
and woman bowlerS. Bill Wood, boss
OF the Meyer Davis establishments de-
cided the best and surest method to
settle tEis argument, which has crop
ped up during the past several seasons,
Is on the alleys. He selected his aces,
Campbell and Logan, TO defend the
male supremacy.
: Bradt and FTere will hold slight
handicap over their male rivals. COM
puted on league averages today. How
eyer, they hope to pie up enough pms
to, win without that advantage.
Woman bowlers have maze more rapio
strides in the Guckpin sport the past
few years than men. During the past
i've years the fair devoteeS OF the alley
game have taken their duckpinS serious
~, Their rapid rise is attributed to in
creased acCi, ItlcS. II is generally con-
ceded among bowlerS tnaE the men are
supreme in bowling ranks, but there are
several OF the cracG woman bowlers VINO
contend that they can hold their own
With any male team.
Both the Bradt-frere and Campbell
Logan combinations are representative
Of their respective groups. Bradt Is
setting the pace for local woman bowl
erS this year and Frere is one OF her
nearest rivals. Campbell is having one
of his best campaigns, leading Capital
City League, and Logan Is one OF the
big-ten Stars.
Commercials OF Washington Ladies'
League attempted to establish their
equality with mems teams last May,
but lost a. 9j-pin decision to Arcade
sunshine pinmen in five-game match.
AdherentS Of the women's cause pro-
claimed this a moral Victory and pre-
t.ieted that an all-Star vomen'S oou-
bles team could de1eat the best COM
bination the men could produce.
Some of the SkepticS who wondered
where the .bowlerS were coming lrom
to make all OF WSShington'S lowing
establishments paying propositions neeu
only to step into any Oh these plants
atUer o'clock any evening to learn the
answer. When the new Lucky Strike
ana Arcadia drives were opened this
Fall, adding nearly 100 new alleys to
the city's total, there were many who
u nT,iR
new but the old establishments as well
would suffer from insufficient patronage.
Unless a bowler is aff1liated with
league team his chances of getting an
aAey in any of the local plants after
O'Clock at night are SlighJ. With the
exception of Saturday night, practically
every alley in the city is taken over for
league matches, ana the independent
bowler is fortunate who can walk INTO
MS favorite establishment and nno
vacant drive awaiting him.
Zone of the local aIley owners already
Is convinced tn u more alleys are need
ed. He has plans for a new 20-alley
plant under way and soon expects TO
make public announcement as to the
location and time construction will be
started. This new plant Is assured
within another year, and the continued
growth of the small pin game here in
tLcates that other new plants will be
nseded very soon.
Clarence M. Charest, who probably
Is, best known in Washington sport
circles rs a tennis star, likes his uuck-
pins lust about as well as he loves his
racquet.
ne has been a prominent figure In
several leagues the past Iew years, but
his WORK IN recognizing the General
Counsel League, OF uhicn he is presl-
cent, this year is probably his best
contribution 10 the 0uckpin game. A
Six-team circuit last year, tins league
laas doubled that number, and rs per
cent of the bowlers are newcomers to
The game, according to F. B. SchlosSer,

Add the name Of john Simpson,
anchor bowler of the Grace team of
81 Y. P. u. Mems League, to the IT. pie
Header-Strike Club roster.
John has habit of rising TO the oc-
casion whenever his team needs extra
pins, but when his team needed 81 pins
in the last box to win 1t appeared too
much to expect. However, he went
about his seemingly impossible assign
nent courageously, with the result that
he recorded trio of strikes, giving his
tsam a four-pin victory and at the
same time gaining a place in the
bowling hall Of fame.
