UP against her Will be formidable
the cash a year ago will be bach
Quigley and Lucille Preble and tn
class as money" boWlerS.
Notable among these is Marjorie
Bradt, whose new tag is Mrs.
George Smith. Marjorie was I'M
able to get up gallop in the last
sweepstakes, but it doesn't seem in
the deck that she'll founder again.
If she should hit peak form a slice
of the dough aSsuredly would be
hers.
Mrs. Smith marked up five records
last Winter in single match. Against
Howard Campbell she totaled 608 for
five games, AIT for three games, 300
for two games, Z successive marks and
IL marks in IA consecutive boxes. All
were records
Last Spring she won the national
all-events championship with a total Of
CTS.
Mrs. Margaret Miltner, who appears
to be at her best in tournament play,
is conceded to be one of the best OF
money shooters.
She rolled in the sweepstakes last
year despite illness and was unable to
do herself justice. But later on, in
the National Duckpin Bowling, Con-
gress tournament, she proved her mettle
by winning the singles title with set
of 374. At the same time she tied Mar
iorie Bradt for the all-eventS crown,
only to lose in the roll-off. Mrs. Miltner
finished first among the women in The
Evening Stars tournament and followed
this victory with a triumph with her
husband Wesley in the man-and-wife
championship tournament sponsored by
John S. Blick at the Arcadia.
Another all-eventS champion, Mrs.
Irene Mischou, whose 975-total won the
N. D. B. C.. crown in Baltimore two
years ago. again will try for the sweep
stakes title, along with her Arcadian
teammates, as will Mrs. Leda Amidon,
Mrs. Florence Rembold Sabean, Mrs.
Elsie Fischer and Lorraine GULL.
The King Pin team, which lifted the
national title at Richmond last Spring
with a set of 1872, the highest ever
full by Mrs. Pauline Ford, Millicent
Russell Mabel Williams, Edith Brown
and Lucille Preble.

The demand for Washington's woman
bowling stars for alley shows in other
cities becomes greater from year to
year. The King Pin team recently went
to Charlotte, N. c., to meet lineup of
Richmond's best. Next Saturday two
Washington girls will go to Greensboro. |
ing Saturday the Arcadia team will |
feature the christening of new Blick |
establishment at Atlanta, Ga, sharing |
the spotlight with Bobby Jones, who will |
heave the, first ball.
All Of the Arcadia girls are entered
m the sweepstakes and Chairman Evans
has given them dispensation. Their
second set will be rolled on Tuesday,
November %, instead of the following
Saturday.
Probably the most improved among
the male bowlers of the city is Phil
Goodall, whose name appears in the
lineup of the Meyer Davis team in the
District and National Capital Leagues.
This forkhander is among the leaders in
both leagues and is having the most
successful season of his career. He has
acquired smoothness of delivery.
The caliber of scores made by woman
bowlers Is improving each year and
games above 500 are becoming more
frequent. This fact was emphasized
recently in the Washington Ladies
League when the team record was
broken twice in the same evening. The
Commercials set the mark of $50 on the
opening night of the schedule and in
creased it to 545 in its final game last
Tuesday. Immediately afterward the
Columbians boosted the figure to SGT,
due principally to the skill of Peggy
Babcock and Rena Levy. Miss Babcock
accounted for las pins, tying the
leagues season record for individual
game held by Miss Levy, and the latter
contributed a 1873 score for her share
in setting the new season record in the
league for team game.
Later, at the Silver Spring alleys, the
Arcadia team rolled all three games
above the 500 mark, sweeping the set.
teams recording scores of 500 or more.
Freak breaks will occur in the duck
pin game. regardless of how perfect the
setup may be or how high the stand
ard OF equipment. One of the queerest
recently befell Dick" Woodward, vet
eran sandlot base ball arbiter and
former catcher of the Atlanta team of
the Southern League. while taking his
daily dozen at the King Pin, where he
keeps himself in prime physical shape.
After delivering the first ball Wood
ward was surprised to find standing
Nos. !, Z, 8, 9 and l0-the head pin
and the back row. Delivering the sec
ond ball, woodward hit the head pin,
the ball having backspin. To his
amazement that was the only pin taken
on the alley, the ball going between
Nos. 8 and 10, while the head pin slid
rapidly between Nos. and 8.
A freak incident at the Temple alleys
recently brings up the question as to
when pin is out of play. In a league
match George Friend apparently made
g. clean strike, but stick returned to
fnl tod
spot. It was ruled that a strike had
not been made and Friend was required
to shoot at the contrary pin. Again
ne Knocked 1t down and was given
credit for spare. 1t has been sue-
gested since that the rules of the Amer
lean Bowling Congress provide that a
pin Is down and out of play once it
has left the pin bed.
The feature league match of this
week will bring together the leading
King Pins and the Northeast Temple
team OF the District League at the King
Pin Friday night.
BY winning three games from Stand
ard Oil The Evening Star team won
the championship of the first series in
the Commercial League. The Star
boWlers had an advantage of one game
over G. g. P. Telephone and two games
over Standard Oil. All three had been
tied for first place
