AS Washington S girl bowlers
set out today for the National
Duckpin Bowling Congress
tournament in Baltimore, a
tall, spare-framed maiden from
Waterbury, Conn, one Jose
phine Roberge, is the object OF
envy, astonishment, and cha
grin.
In the lingo of Convention Hall,
Josephine really let EN- have 1t In
the duckpin classic.
She rolled 372 in the singles and
an even 800 in the doubles, ana
from the looks of things shes very
nearly home with a couple OF stout
prizes,
The doubles team Of Josephine
ROberge and Blanche FOOte,
with 625, has a neat lead but
not nearly as safe . one as
JOsephine's i'm the singles.
Close behind her is another New

Of Hartford, with 366.
High game hOnors likely will go
TO New Haven girl, Anna Graik,
who rolled 157 in the singles. Her
total was a mere 1856, just such a
figure as one would have thought
likely to take first place.
The new England girls have set
m astonishing pace, indeed.
Washington's hope in the singles
and doubles rests in Lorraine Gull
and Rena Levy, both Of whom have
rolled scores higher than those
that top the national standings.
But they have been few and far
between. The chances are heavily
against either of them coming
through with a whopper on given
occasion.
Lorraine and Rena are SEIZED
lIled tonight, along with many
other Washington stars. Among
the Washington teams to per-
form are the King Pin, Meyer
Davis, Virginia Markets, Guide
American Beauties, Convention
Hall, George c. Shaffer and
Arcadia.

bowlers stand between Washington
and three tournament champion

Dutch Won Dreele and Ed Smith,
Of Baltimore, top the doubles with
T79, the most sensational score of
the tournament.
Nick TrOnsky, of New Britain,
Conn.,, but for the toughest
break of the tournament, to-
day would be leading the all
events. As It Is he is second,
two pins behind CampbeiI's
Lib.
Tronsky fouled in making a
spare at the moment when the title
virtually was in his hands. His
misfortune came in the ninth box
of his final string, with the New
Britain team. He had rolled 372 in
the doubles and 332 in the singles
and needed 400 in the team event
to tie Campbell. He got 407. By
GouIing he lost an pin count that
would have put him well over the
top.
Glenn Wolstenholme was another
to blow chance for the all-events
crown. The Convention Hall star
rolled 395 In the doubles and 344 in
the singles and started his team
set with a score Of lat, finishing
with four straight strikes, incident
