T 7 AIRY I. CARROLL, downtown
magnate. today pledged his
hsasy nsog sggg9Tt gEs9s .eeo1s to Tse svnIa wnsh
Individual bowling tournament,
to be held at Convention Hall starting
December 26. At the same time he
handed in his entry.
Nothing more could be asked by the
bowler in the way of tournament" !"
said the Recreation, Coliseum and
Grand Central proprietor, who con-
tinued:
He has opportunity to win a rich
prize and it costs him no more than
he would pay to roll practice set"
This latter Is point not emphasized
on the posters proclaining the Yuletide
tournament, which decorated all alleys
in the city and its suburbs today. The
entrance fee" Of one berry for men
and so cents for women noted on them
Is a bit inaccurate. This tax is merely
the cost of the games to be rolled. If
. bowler intends to shoot five games
during the holidays, or three in the
case Of woman, he or she would have
something to gain and nothing to lose
by paying for them in advance by
entering The Star tournament.
To Harry z. Greer, president Of the
Washington City Duckpin Association,
goes the distinction of being the first
entrant. He signed the first entry
blank on the press.
Leo Rinaldi, captain of the Grand
Palace Valet team which will meet the
Connecticut An-Stars in; teams, dou-
bleS and singles match, Is in a Quandary.
When and where to shoot the Washing
ton end of the affair are questions he
has yet to decide. The Connecticut
bowlers have left it all up to him.
He has borrowed Howard Campbell
from the Lucky Strike to roll the singles
against the colorful Jack White and,
therefore, feels that the establishment
of which Howard is the pilot is, in a
measure, due the attraction. On the
other hand, he wants to accommodate
as many spectators as possible and,
viewing the matter from this angle, sew
eral other alleys are more suitable than
the big Fourteenth street place.
The opening block of games probably
will be rolled in Connecticut during the
Christmas holidays.
It will be an expensive match for
Rinaldi. who will foot the expenses of
the trip. He said today that no effort
to Offset the cost would be made by
charging an admission fee, q custom
followed when the old Convention Hall
team played host to visiting stars.
Entries are flowing in for the south
paw tournament to be held at the
Northeast Temple and Coliseum. The
favcrite is Al Work, holder of the world
record for . single game-2oS-although
the famous ice man is not shooting as
well as Of yore. Another popular can
didate for the forkhand crown is Lefty
Goodall. who is an exceptional tourna-
ment performer. Then there's Arlie
Webb, one of the few bowlerS who has
TnllAd C00 hor|yrrn0H "a
Several years ago Arlie got hot in an
independent game at the Arcadia and
chalked UP an even 200.
Not the least formidable lefthander
Is Lonnie Krauss, the Coliseum man
ager, though he bowls only occasionally.
In recent discussion of stars Of other
years. Dave Cox Of the Recreation
League and several others held that
Lonnie was almost the equal of his
brother, the far-famed Harry. To this
we feel constrained to take exception.
The Harry KrauSs of Is or 20 years ago
today would be the top-ranker Of 'em
all. He used to hang up the high aV-
erage regularly without trying.
1t Is an old American custom to
hearken back to the stars of other
years and call them the greatest of all.
In washington now are half a dozen
duckpln maulerS who are almost as good
Krauss and Johnny Vaeth, in their
prime. would be the best. Those two
had the works.
Max Rosenberg is getting set for a
laugh. He was kidded on a large scale
when his brilliant Northeast Temple
lineup failed to burn up" the District
League in the first month or so of the
campaign, as promised. It dropped
match after match, and Make kept
promising, Wen get going, and when
We do, it'll be curtains for the rest"
Sure enough, his team got started,
and now the boys in the District League
are wondering where Max, Red Megaw,
George Friend. Joe Mulroe and Paulie
Harrison will stop. They're now within
striking distance Of the leading King
Pins, following q three-game victory
over the strong Cornell Lunch team,
in which they shot a score of 1882
They have had big sets in every one Of
the last half dozen matches.
Joe Mulroe and George Friend were
best for the Temples, and Dutch New
man shone for the Cornells.
