MRS. M'CUTCHEON
TITLE IS DISPUTED
Blick Wants Woman Tenpin
Wizard to Prove She's
Greatest" Bowler.
BIZ FRANCIS E. STAN.
John s. BLICK is a strong
rooter for Lorraine GULL.

~ Furthermore, he is willing
to back Miss GULL againS
any and all woman bowlers.
Still further, Blick contends
that as Miss Gull is recognized as
the greatest woman duckpin bowl.
or in the world by the National
Duckpin Bowling Congress, nc
other woman bowler has a right
to call herself the worlds greatest
woman bowler, which has hap
pened.
And as Q result, Lorraine GULL has
written q challenge to Mrs. F1oretta D
McCutcheon, undisputed woman's ten
pin champion, who is advertised on her
tours as the greatest woman bowler in
the world.
mix" saws Blick, who says she hasn't
the right to that title without specif1-
cally mentioning what game she's the
worlds greatest in.
Here's how the challenge by Lorraine
came about.
John Blick returned Friday morning
from Southern invasion after looking
over his bowling alley situation, and en-
comtered In his ONCE . large poster
advertising Mrs. McCutcheon, who along
with Miss GULL shares the distinction
Of being the only women bowling pros,
rs the worlds greatest woman bowlers.
Bnck called in Miss GULL, who was
giving instructions to feminine bowlers
in the Arcadia.
Lorraine promptly wrote q challenge
a. II
Cain, offering to bowl the tenpin pro 20
games or more, half Of 'em to be rolled
on the Coliseum drives and the other
half on any drives Mrs. McCutcheon
may designate.
49, IRIS. McCUTCHEoN is . tenpin
IVA bowler and not . duckpin
bowler" penned Lorraine to
Cain. II she can beat me in duckpinS,
then ] win acknowledge that she Is
the worlds greatest woman bowler, as
Rhe Is being advertised"
"Otherwise I don't think Mrs. Nc
Ch1tcheon has the right to the title
worlds greatest woman bowler" de-
cIared Lorraine.
sIt's not fair to Miss Guilt" unused
John Blick. ''but II Mrs. McCutcheon
win take up the challenge, and It may
be possible, as she has bowled some
dl1cipins, ] feel sure Miss Gull VIII
win"
Both Miss Gull and Blick anxiously
are awaiting an answer to the chal-
iense, though the chances are slight
that Mrs. McCutcheon wiz accept the
defy to bowl duckpins alone.
'T1i back Miss Gull for any rea-
eonable amount on any drives, approved
BIZ the National Duckpin Bowling Con-
rress, Of course, against any woman
duckpin bowler In the world" said Blsck.
sEhe can beat any Of EN- over q
stretch Of, say 20 games. and total pins
% count"
'Td IKE to see Miss Gull meet mrs.
McCutcheon at duckpins," Bltck said
cover up some Of the alleys, put In seats
and III bet there still wouldn't be
enough room to seat everybody"
A match between the two, however, Is
hardly possible unless 1t was modified
to q degree making 1t more even be-
tween the two. Mrs. McCutcheon has
an flndisputed claim to the tenpin
world championship for women, while
Miss Gull has an equally strong claim
TO the wonen's duckpin title. Neither

others specially, especially Lorraine,
who rarely has attempted the tenpin
But what rankles IN the minds of
Blick and Lorraine Is Mrs. McCutcheon's
claim as the worlds greatest woman
bowler.
sTToWARD CAMPBELL Is the near
i i est thing TO being Bobby Jones
In bowling as ever saw" said
George L. Isemann, secretary Of the
n. D. 3. c., who is an ardent admirer
Of the great King Pin leader.
II there's anything George likes to do
Is to compare preSent-day pinmen
with those of yegteryear, and Is the
name Of Campbell was brought UP It
was discussed and promptly put at the
top Of the List Of the all-time bowlers.
'aThere're q lot Of bowlers who have
fast deliveries, more color and all that,
but when It comes to the real thing
coutrol-Howard's right there. It's the
follow-fhrough that counts, and the
only bowlers I know who can compare
with Campbell are Joe Michaud, who
used to bowl with the old Belmont team
In the District; Harry Krauss and Bill
Stenberg," George continued.
Howard Campbell Is perhaps the
most consistent bowler in the game.
124 mark, never dropping or rising
more than four or I'VE points during
the season.
Some Of the most brilliant bowlers,
ike ball players, suffer through slumps
or pressing when the race WAKES hot
George Friend, for instance, Is one
Of these, and Reds Morgan Is another
Friend, right now, is even experiencing
di6dculty In averaging 100. but as the
season goes on he'll be right up with
the leaders.
Morgan, on the other hand, is an early
