MAKES WILD BET
ONSTAR TOURNEY
Harrison and WoIStenhoIme
Picked Against FieId-PauI
Rolls Tonight.
BY r. d. THOMAS.

"WO cigars will get you one If j.
Straucnan Blick, the big bowling
boss, hasn't picked the winner OF
The washington Star singles
tournament, action in which will
be resumed tonight at Convention Hail.
If Blick's guess is wrong he'll be pass
ing out stogeys in wholesale lots, for the
very positive man has given his opinion
recklessly to many and still has boxes
of smokes to work on.
He's LAYING one to two either Jack
Wolstenholme or Paul Harrison Is the
winner.
To pick two against field of l,400 in
any racket would be pushing ones luck,
and in bowling it's a bit-supply your
own adjective.
But Mr.. Blick is that way. Bowlers
sag hes the luckiest guy in the world.
st got a bunch and wanna play 1t,
thass ALL" says he.
Nearly Right, Anyway.
The other day he went to Chicago on
q bunch and the thing panned out. He
put a proposition to other powers in the
bowling business and of consequence
Lorraine Gull, the foremost girl duck
pin bowler of all time, next Monday
will become assistant secretary Of the
National Duckpin Bowling Congress.
Tonight Harrison will shoot and to-
morrow night Wolstenholme. It's
plenty safe to predict neither will beat
the 632 shot by Tony De Elmo, who Is
many pins in front.
In the case of Harrison our daring
gambler may have been nearly week
late. The TIA Paul rolled against the
Connecticut All-Stars last Saturday
would have given him a cinch hold on
first place at the Hall. Incidentally.
Blick made his wager before the record
smashing performance at Hartford and
If he loses will have the consolation of
knowing his sixth sense was not far
wrong.
Stars Perform Tonight.
Harrison and several other stars are
expected to draw q big gallery. If
Paul is in fettle he'll show the fans
some fancy bowling. The same goes
for Bradley Mandley, Max Rosenberg,
George Friend and several other top
notchers.
The center Of attraction tomorrow
night will be the King Pin group-How-
ard Campbell, Jack Wolstenholme, Ber-
ME Frye, Glenn Weidman and Ray
Ward. They will shoot on adjoining
alleys.
Campbell win be watched closely.
The King Pin captain on Saturday aft
ernoon at the Lucky Strike will battle
the sensational New Highlander, Jack
White, who took his measure at Hart
ford. Campbell and his supporters are
confident he'll get even.
Miss CULTS appointment will lessen
by much the tremendous load carried
by George Isemann since the congress
was organized three years ago. Georges
life has been passed during that time
largely on trains. To be thoroughly
done his assignment calls for several
assistants and he is grateful for the
services of Miss GULL who will relieve
him, it is assumed, of the women's Sec
ton of the congress.
Isemann has been in demand con-
stantly to organize city associations,
promote special matches and push the
congress annual tournament. There
has been no let-up for him. Miss GULL
is expected to be equally busy. AS the
undisputed greatest woman duckpinner
she will be called upon to roll many
exhibitions, not, however, as a distinct
professional.
Bowling interests have been well
pleased with the N. D. B. G. and have
given 1t financial as well as moral back
ing. Its policies have been controlled
by the bowlerS.
Miss GULL fits perfectly into the
scheme of things. She is an experienced
organizer, is fond of the work and has
the energy natural to an athlete.
Ray Won Dreele, ace of Baltimore
bowlers, will pair with Arthur Waters
against Al Fischer, former national
singles champion, and Jack Wolsten-
holrne tonight at Tad Towards Rem
devious alley. Won Dreele's partner
was to have been Ed Rommel, the Ath-
letics' pitcher, but Rommel was unable
to get away. In Baltimore some time
ago Rommel and Won Dreele beat
Fischer and Wolstenholme by IA pins
1,219 to 1,205. It was a brilliantly con-
tested match.
Lindstrom, Watson, Kee and David
son, with scores Of 585, 567, SAL and 514
In that order, took the cash in the
Montgomery County elimination tourna-
lnent, sponsored by Henry Hiser and
held at his Bethesda establishment.
Walson's 1872 was the best game rolled
in the finals.
