NEW BOWLERS BID
FOR FAME IN GAME
Much Improvement Is Seen
in Duckpinning Done by
NoviceS This Year.

y CORING done recently by Wash
ington bowlers indicates the
counting in The Evening Star
- individual duckpin championship
tournament to be held on the
Lucky Strike alleys December 26-29
and January 2-5 will be exceptional.
And AS the recent heavy scoring has
been done by bowlers hitherto regarded
as only OF the rank and file of the
game. it seems likely the so-called stars
of duckpinning will not grab all the
glory of the competition.
In fact, the sudden rise of many
0uckpinnerS of Washington and vicinity
presages series of splurges by the
usually average class of shooters. Just
why the mass of boWlerS should so sud-
IDENTIFY begin to improve i'll play this
season is not easy to understand. There
doesn't seem to be much more bowling
than there was last season, nor are the
general run bowlerS practicing more
than usual
1t may be, however, that the number
of new alleys thrown open this season
has much to do with the improvement
In the game. More than 100 drives are
in use this season for the first time

The Star tournament is to bring to

fore have participated in a competition
OF such extent. The event is omen to
duckpinners. of the District of Colum-
b!a, Montgomery, Prince Georges and
Charles Counties of Maryland, and
Loudoun, Fairfax and Arlington Coun-
ties and Alexandria City of Virginia.
which section perhaps has more duck
PIN poWlerS than any other section of
similar extent in the country.
Some New SharpshoOters.
In nearby Maryland and Virginia as
well as In washington there are num-
berS OF men and women taking part in
bowling this season for the first time.
And OF this new group many will strive
for the fine prizes to be at stake in The
Star tourney. Even though comparative
novices, there are some of these pin
shooters already capable of giving battle
TO the stars OF the pastime in limited
set OF games. So watch for surprises in
The Star tournament.
Scores of these newcomers to the
game have filed tourney entries this
week and more are likely to fall into
line before the lists close Saturday.
December %. at midnight. They get
into the tourney at no cost, for nominal
entry fee pays only for the games they
are to roll. For men, who are to bowl
five games each. this is 81. For women,
who are to bowl three games each, it is
but go cents.
The fee must accompany the entry
and entries must be in the hands of the
management at Lucky Strike or the
bowling editor of The Star by midnight

Keeping Theory to Our
selves Only Statement
of Sheriff.

BIZ Times Special
KNOX, Ind, Aug. 29.-Starke
County today is the scene of a
mystery Staying, the second in
northern Indiana within week.
Like the first in Steuben County,
a sheriff reluctant to talk is fea-
ture of an inquiry into the death
near here of John Tucker, 70, a
resident of the vicinity OF Lena
Park more than half a century,
found beaten to death early Tues
day.
The body of Tucker was found in
the yard of his shack farm home.
Some blunt instrument had been
used to beat the right side of his
head into a pulp.
Sheriff Dan Musselman, asked
about theory in the case, replied,
1--WE have one, but we are keeping
it to ourselves" Beyond that he
would say nothing,
1t was learned from other sources
Sheriff MuSselman believes Tucker
was the victim of rum runners
strife. But aside from the fact that
some Starke County roads are routes
for transport of liquor. there is said
to be nothing to support the sher-
iff's theory.
Neighbor Finds Body
James Reading, aged farmer
neighbor of Tucker, went to the
hermit's home early Tuesday. hav-
ing arranged the previous day to
help him pick cucumbers. He
found fuckers body lying near the
house, the head higher than the
rest, and partly propped against the
house foundation.
Search about the premises failed
to reveal the weapons with which
the Staying had been accomplished
Nothing was disturbed in the house.
Chickens from a flock kept by the
aged man were wandering about
rooms of the home.
Robbery was advanced as mo-
tive, but persons who have known
Tucker his entire life declare he
had no money, as he had only
bare living from odd job earnings
and what little an almost worthless
farm would produce.
Held Land without Title
In some quarters it is pointed
out that Tucker was a squat
ter on the land he occcu-
pied, but so far nothing has de-
veloped that would indicate the sit
uation would cause any one to take
his life.
Delving into fuckers life so far
has revealed no grudge or any other
trouble which might lead to murder.
He bad the reputation of being a
quiet, harmless old man friendly
with close neighbors, but with few
acquaintances outside of them.
