Not long after, Elmer says, the
same thing, or something quite
like it. occurred in the National
Capital League, which also de-
clared the freakish maple still Ill
play.
Several nights ago Frank Mischou,
shooting with Parkway Filling station
in the National Capital League, got a
three-pin break, or thought ne hao
one, when a pin few back and righteo
itself behind the others, giving him a
''basket" formation. He made the spare.
George L. Isemann, secretary OF the
National Duckpin Bowling Congress,
has announced that a rule covering the
freak will be incorporated into the con-
Rress' code at its next convention.
While they're about 1t, the congress
rulemakers might as well stralghten out
the dummy score business. BOWERS are
at odds over whether dummy strings
should be counted in total pins. A
number of remnants are decided every
year on total pinfall and there Is ever
q debate.
Then, too, there's the matter of the
handicap on roll-offs where dummy
is used. Most handicap leagues rule
that dummy has no rights.
One Of the prime purposes Of the Ma
tional Duckpin Bowling Congress Is to
standardize the game and it has &C
complished much in that direction. To
straighten out the rules Will be duck
soup for Isemann and his gang.
Aside from promoting the national
tournament, perhaps the most effective
work done by the N. d. B. G. In the
games interest has been to bring about
q more general observance of the foul
line. This it has accomplished by
propaganda and by refusing to recog-
nize any record made in a league that
has no foul line judge.
One of the big battles of the season
will be fought tonight at the Lucky
Strike when the hauling King Pins
attempt to knock the Grand Palace
Valet team out of first place by way OF
winding up the first series.
Rinaldi's crack lineup was sailing
along serenely with the loss of only
two games all Fall when the Meyer
Davis team up and pasted 'em for
three straight recently. This setback
pulled the Rinaldis down to within
easy striking distance of the King Pins.
the Rinaldis need two games tonight to
stay on top.
Tonight's clash is getting big play
from the fans, but they look forward
even more, perhaps, to the King Pin
Northeast Temple battle next Friday
night at the King Pin No. l, in the
District League. The King Pins lead
the league and the Temples, with Max
Rosenberg as spokesman, have sworn to
knock 'em of. On paper, the Temples
have ore Of the greatest teams ever
assembled. Not until lately, however,
have they come up to expectations.
When we get going" says Make,
Eve ought to make big noise in this
league and Friday night would be just
the right time to start"
Make said that with a grin, but no
doubt he meant 1t.
The Evening Star team achieved in
the Commercial League what the King
Pins hope to do tonight. Roy Whit
ford and his playmateS won the first
series championship in the final set.
The Evening Star, Standard Oil and
c. g.. P. Telephone were deadlocked
for the lead when the blow-oh came.
The newspaper men whitewashed STAN
dard Oil and the Telephone lads drop
ped game to Diamond Cab leaving
Whitford's team in front by one game.
Catherine Quigley is in a fair way to
relieve Lorraine GULL of the Washing
ton Ladies League crown. She has an
average at the end of the first series
of 103 against 100 for her distinguish
ed teammate of the Beeques. Cathe-
rine's closest rival is Rena Levy, of the
Columbians, with 1O2.
Paul Harrison and Brad Mandley
were the big shots when the Queen Pins
and Temple All-Stars finished their To-
game series with a five-string battle at
the Queen Pin. Harrison totaled 634
for the Temples and Mandley 638 for
the Queen Pins. The Queen Pins picked
up 40 pins with set Of 1888 against
2,843, but the Temples won the series
by margin of SO sticks.
