PLACE At
TEMP
By R. D. Thomas

That bowling man from
Hyattsville, j. Henry Hiser,
and his favorite playmate,
Boots Halloran, are distin-
guished today as the owners
of a doubles record.
Henry and Boots set up a mark
OF 1929 in the Northeast Temple
tournament and inasmuch as the
Temple affair is the first in duckpin
history here with 5-game doubles
sets there can be no doubt Of its
being record.
But there will be more such
tournaments, doubles and singles
play Incoming increasingly pop
MAR. and it is likely that the
HyattsyiIIe pair will hold top
hnrors for some time. It isn't
often that two bOwlers beat 500
shootinr as a team. Henry'S
score was GIG and his partners
61S.
This was the outstanding per-
Torrance Of a big night at the
Temple. everything consid red, al
though Sam Benson flashed lot
of stuff in the singles. He took the
lead with a set of 622.
But for one poor game Benson
would have a sensational score. He
shot an even 100 in the third.
Hiser and Halloran in the GHuoles
and Benson in the singsSs are
cinches to win first place money.
The Potomac A. A. is out front IN
the teams event with a score OF
1868. in the making of which swain
was high man with 1858.
Hiser figures to win the all

The Convention Hall team VIA
leave late tonight for Stamford,
Conn. where tomorrow afternoon
the stamford All-Stars will be en-
countered in a team, doubles ana
singles battle. Tomorrow night the
Hall bowlers meet the Brooklyn All
Stars in Brooklyn.
Both are return engagements.
Convention Hall viii enter each
team match with margin OF better
than 200 pins. The stamford al
fair looks soft, but the Brooklyn
thing is a puzzles. Rubber banded
Tains viii be used, and the Washing
fonians aren't used to them. That
eO0-pin lead could be wiped out in
one game.
There was talk Of postponing the
Stamford match. 1t viii be neces-
eary to hustle through it to permit
the Hall bowlers to catch q $40
4rain. the only rattler leaving Stam-
ford In time to get them in Brook
lyn on schedule.
BY going through with their
agreement with Stamford the Wash.
angton bowlers will handicap them
selves beyond doubt in Brooklyn,
and ieopardize their chance to
gather in a fat purse.
