"Uh-huh. Thanks"
Scorekeeper George Friend and those
near enough to be lin the know" an
swered such queries by scores of bowl
ing followers last Friday at Lucky
Strike, who registered no surprise at
the Gulli-Pacini victory over the Lea
man-Lang duo, and wandered on. Lor-
raine CULTS COS score the previous
week had drawn most of 'em, and 544
and $40 ostensibly were nothing un-
usual for Lorraine.
But add the two up!
That's what almost everybody over
looked-adding 'em up. The total is
1903 and new national 10-game
mark for women. 1t broke the previous
record of 1899 held by Marjorie Bradt
Smith. 1t gave Lorraine GULL revenge,
for Marjorie, in the recent Bill Wood
Sweepstakes, knocked off couple of
Lorraine's favorite records, the sweep
stake mark and the national nine
game record.
The two five-game blocks of the mixed
doubles match between the crack duos
of Lorraine GULL and Ollie Pacini and
Margaret Leaman and George Lang of
Baltimore, were both rolled with a foul
line Judge. The first block was bowled
at Rendezvous and the final at Lucky
Strike.
The record, said George Isemann,
secretary of the National Duckpin
Bowling Congress, will be recognized as
a 10-game mark.
Here are the scores of the two blocks
which resulted in a world record for
10 games:

fault. There are bound to be
more than few of these in the

reckoned to shoot in the Yuletide tour
nament.
Brocator is planning Western Union

ment.
JUDGING by the way John Blick hus-
tied to help put over The Star tour

CULTS 1908 in Mixed Doubles
Is National Record for Women
FOLLOWING that match of last Fri
LN or. o.

FOLLOWING that match of last Fri
l. day, Miss GULL now holds or CO.
holds every mixed doubles record!
She already was co-holder with
George Isemann of the five-game
mixed doubles record of 1,186. While
establishing the five-game record 1t
was perfectly o. K. to count the first
three games as a record, too. They
we're 724. This was done last Summer.
In the recent match against Howard
Campbell and Marjorie Bradt Smltn'
Lorraine and Ollie Pacini, though los
ing by two pins, had the satisfaction
of making new high game record,
272. Lorraine shot 159 and Ollie ll3,
to beat the 268 established by Harry
Brauer and Olive Ford of Baltimore,
That makes three. Now, as result
of beating the Leaman-Lang quo IN
10 games, the Gulli-Pacini team be-
comes the holder of the 1O-game
mixed doubles record, because it's the
first ever rolled with foul line Judge.
Their total was 2270. Baltimores
mixed doubles bowlers frequently toll
similar matches, but never with 1oul
line judge.
Asked whether Lorraines score in
the first block against Campbell ana
added to the 544 and SAG, and thereby
establish 15-game record for women,
George Isemann said nix. They were
rolled in separate matches.
Anyway, the 10-game record and
that handful of mixed doubles marks
/ should give Lorraine enough to sleep
on for a while. She certainly made
amends for the loss of her nine-game
record.
NORMAN MILLER, who bowls for
IN Mount Vernon in the Georgetown
Church League, is convinced
there amt no justice"
Whats the use?" said Norman de-
jectedly Here I'm rolling good all
season and average los, and then this
happens"
Norman rolled lis set last week!

He sported an average Of los for 80
