WIS. OF MISS "A. D.
First of all you may be Interested
in knowing that Washington bowlers
today are In second place in the
team doubles and events In the ma
tional tourney at Richmond, New
Jerusalem's 1868 and s. III. Jacobs
and w. Smiths 657 giving them the
runner-up positions. Also that Goa
vention Hall seems certain of its
third consecutive District League
title by virtue of its smashing three
game victory over the King Pins
last night, which gives them two
game lead with only three weeks Of
play remaining.
Now. then. average bowlers, let's
get down to cases and examine an
odd yarn on odds as applied to the
so-called dub swcepstake events,
which now are running or about to
start. Get out your pencil and some
scrap paper and !ets go to figuring.
For example, lets take the
Bill Woods Sweepstakes, which
closed Saturday night at King
Pin No. /. This event attracted
so Of you bOwlers with averages
of less than 1O6. The entry fee
was SIS per bowler, making $500
the grand prize total, which has
been divided thus; first, $50;
second, 500; third, SIS; fourth.
$50, and fifth, SIS.
In entering this sweepstakes each
of you was aware that no other en-.
trant was any better than yourself,
that is, although his seasons record
might shade yours by a few pins or
so yet you knew that you were not
outclassed. The uncertainty OF duck
pins confirms this opinion. There
fore all OF you were starting from
scratch. or practically at scratch.
Now that's where these odds get
interesting. The hope Of financial
reward plus the conviction of cor.
rect judgment causes one to lay 81
on horse race, or to wager on
other events. Now a bowler has
sporting blood, or else he wouldn't
enter the event. All he's doing in
this case is backing himself.
Taking the Woods Sweep.

see what the odds are to begin

only five men of the field of so
can win. Thus, all things be.
ing equal, the odds against
ones finishing in the money at
all would be about 16 to l,
However, isn't the fact that fhe
winning odds are higher to more
than counterbalance that quotation?
AS a committee of one, the answer
IS affirmative. Else the answer Is
that sporting blood is thin. An.
