The sweepstakes epidemic
has spread to the ranks of
Government bowlers.
J. G. e. Hamann, Federal
League executive, announced
plans today for a sweep" to
be held for Federal and Dis
trict workers at the Arcadia
on February 16 and another
date not yet decided.
Men will roll 10 games in five
game blocks. The girls viii shoot
six strings, three at a time. The
entry fees will be $4 for men and
$3.50 for girls.
4 The prizes will be cash and of
sizes governed by the number of
entries. There will be special
awards for high set and high game.
Eligibility is restricted to league
bowlers representing their depart
ments or sections.
Hamann makes a point of the
fact that the foul line rule win be
rigidly enforced.
1--WE expect big entry and
want the blanks turned i'm as
soon as possible so we can make
satisfactory arrangements for
alleys" Hamann said, and
added: '"The bowling tOurna.
nlent will be an example of the
work done by the Federal Ath.
Ietic Association. But it would
be much easier to put over If
the association was in operation
now"
The sweepstakes form of compe-
tition was new to Washington until
the idea was promoted through the
Howard Campbell classic three
years ago. Since then it has be-
come so popular that all sorts of
organizations are holding them:
! Some Of the leagues plan sweeps"
to be held after their regular
schedules are finished.
Washington fans will have an
opportunity February 23 to see in
action the bowler who recently
achieved probably the most remark
able score in the games history
Dutch Won Dreele, of Baltimore.
Won Dreele's record of 756 for five
games, an average of approximately
1b1s is amazing.
The Dutchman had rolled a
number of remarkable scores
before but by his own admission
had never expected to reach the
heights he climbed the other
night.
Won Dreele will pair with Gordon
. Scible, newly risen Baltimore star
4
Weidman and will shoot singles
against Bradley Mandley, the Camp
bell sweepstakes champion Five
games will be rolled at the Bowling
Center in Baltimore, February 16,
and five at the King Pin, Febru-
ary %.
The next special match of par
tIcular interest will bring together
Marie Frere and Marjorie Brad,
representing the King Pin, and Lor-
raine Gull and Irene Mischou. of
the Arcadia, Saturday night at the
king Pin. "A lot of fuss has been
kicked up over this meeting Of girl
experts.
It had been announced that
Rena Levy and Catherine Quig.
ley, OF the Recreation, would
take part, but IL has been de-
cided lately that this pair, IL
they desire, meet the winner
Of the coming match. This
would appear to make the en-
tire affair more interesting.
After winning nine straight games,
I including three from the leading
Recreation team, the Terminal ice
Company girls boo up and went
poof when they met the Meyer
Davis quint in the Ladies District
League. The Davis maids, making
a fight to dislodge the Recreation,
scored clean sweep over the Ter
minals and need only a 2-to-1 vic,
tory over the Recreations in an
approaching battle to deadlock the
lead.
The Terminal girls may be going
nowhere, but they enjoy the dis.
tinction of being the only team to
1whitewash the crack Recreation
mint
