accepted under any circumstances after
that. Time to make up the schedule
will be too limited.
The Stars tournament however. is
not the only Yuletide event scheduled.
Big "house" tournaments will be staged
at the King Pin No. / and King Pin
No. Q, at the Northeast Temple and
several other establishments. Bowlers
who desire to shoot in any of these and
also The Stars tournament should be
careful to designate on the entry slip

that won't conflict with an engagement
elsewhere.
Anne Chandler Morrison is not in a
class with her sister, the we'll known
Catherine Quigley. as a bowler, but
she is by way Of becoming famous as a
pinch performer. Recently she subbed
for Lorraine GULL on the Beeque team
in the Washington Ladies' League and
was more or less expected to be a
load" taking the place of so distin-
guished bowler. Instead she rolled the
high score in the first game and turned
the tide Of victory. The next game
against the Columbians, was tied and
she won it with spare on the roll-off.
On two other occasions since as
Beeque sub she has come through with
the winning punch in a pinch.
Twice she has subbed on the Recrea-
ton team in the District Ladies' League,
and both times starred. In her first
Recreation appearance she was high in
two close games that her team won,
and later she had the best set when
the Recreations whitewaShed the strong
King Pin team.
Catherine Quigley and Rene Levy
have been touted as the best girls
doubles team extant, but Bill Wood rises
to remark he might find pair among
the maids who represent the two King
Pins and the Lucky Strike to give EN-
a battle.
John Blick's three teams the Arcad-
ians, Convention Halls and John BlickS,
are redolent to talent and he too, may
select a pair to challenge Catherine
and Rena A three-cornered battle
seems assured and probably will be
fought during the Christmas holidays.
High game record for the Typothe-
tae League was broken twice when the
league rolled its first games at its new
home, the Lucky Strike. Dick Heinz
mann's 1874 helped the H-K Advertis-
ing team to a score of 586, which beat
the previous mark by five pins, and
