Mt. Rainier takes honors in the
first block Of The Washington
Times southpaw Sweepstakes
through the deadly pin-marksman-
ship Of Larry Fitzgerald, who
mounted q COG set.
This spots him to a good "a
pin lead over his nearest rival,
Abbie Clark, who had 582.
Fitzgerald started off with a
promising 129, then dropped off
to 81 when he momentarily lost
sight of the head pin. Having
gotten this out of his system, he
reeled off three good games, 1870,
121 and 129, to give him the only
600 game rolled in the evening.
Abbie CLARK kept up steady
race to CLEAN his total, having a
129 high, game and lot for low.
Pete McCambridge was
counted out after an 81 but
came back strong to finish
132.
Charles c'Lefty") Poulos. the
mighty Greek, engaged in a nip
and-tuck affair with Mccain
bridge, both being on the same
alleys, with Pete beating him out
by three pins when Lefty could
ouly get lit as finiSher. He had
575, Buddy Tew being ahead OF
him.
Buddy Tew's shooting was con-
sistent, unflurried. He started
and ended with a lot. His high
game was 125 and his grand total
SIT.
Hymie Schecter polished off 573
NAPLES to take sixth place, which
is only nine pins removed from
second. A i02 and 98 dragged
his average down but a 1856 clos
ing game proved the caliber Of
this youngster.
Jack L,eiShear, the Arcadia
flash, was another who, after q
great start, faltered badly in the
middle games but put on a great
comeback with q 128, totaling
668.
Rainey climbed into seventh
place with 500, having the highest
game Of the evening, 139.
Lonnie Krauss developed
into sensation by pounding
his way to q 554 total after
starting with "a. His games
were 121, ia, 112, and 1l3,
. classy display Of steady pin
nnauling.
Tenth Is Benny Wormsley, cap
tain Of the Temple southpaws,
who after four good games,
frightened by q 134, had the mis-
fortune Of ending with o 95, Civ.
ing him q total Of $50.
Andy Allen had 351 for his
first three games, but failed to
keep up his pace and closed with
SAT. Johnny Fulmer, $40: George
Morrison, 500; John Moseley, 537:
Buck Harley, 535, and Phil Good
all with 534, have more than q
fighting chance Of ending in the
money.
It looked as If the evening
would end without 900 set, as
the first 40 finished off with
Abhie Clark's $50. a Standout.
Larry Fitzgerald's 6O6 set
wasn't completed until almost an
hour after the others had fin.
ished. He started with the very
last shift, about 10 o'clock, and
trailed them by one game. Reds
MegRw paced him in his finisher.
Benny Wormersley was making
all kind Of monkey" spares, but
couldn't get. any real good breaks.
He made q 46-7 spare early
In one game and repeated on
another tough break In the next
box.
Earle Stocking ran afouI Of a
series of splits that lasted all
evening. He claimed to have had
more splits" than all the rest
Of the bowlers put together.
Larry Fitzgerald started his
last game by sliding over an 81
break and striking on that.
Rainey had five straight
spares to open up his I39
game, having IS In the fifth
box, but was unable to get
more than one mark I'm the
last five. Rainey also had q
dOuble-header.
~ Y.
One shift started off one series
Of games by all marking up in
the first box. Davis spared. Muir
spared, Peck struck, Mosley
spared, and Berman spared.
Walter Muir was undoubtedly
the oldest man rolling. He is So
years old. The gent from Virginia
has been an addict of the pin
game for "a years and Is still
going strong. He was one of the
bright stars of the old Market
Lunch team in the National
Capital League.
Howard Ortel, who finished
seventeenth with 532. hadn't
bowled for five years. He ended
with q 1876 and can't be counted
out Of the money.
S. j. Carter did a fine piece
Of foul line watching. He called
them unerringly.
George Drae0pOulos. p0pE-
lar Greek, was blamed for
Peulos's SO game by Harry
Armiger. Harry claA.1ed that
