RECORD PREDICTED
IN DUCKP|N STAKES
WoIstenhoIme's Mark Ap-
pears Doomed as Classic
Ends Tonight at King Pin.
BY r.. d. THOMAS.

- TILL no strong favorite as the
sharpshooters enter the home
stretch of the Howard Campbell
sweepstakes tonight at 1880 at
the big King Pin.
Eight go into the last set with To-
game total of / 200 or better, but none
is so far in front of the pack that a
big game or two by one well down the
list wouldn't wipe out the margin.
A new record for the Is games is
predicted. The present leader, George
Friend. needs only 6O6 mapes to tie the
mark established in 1927 by Glenn VOL
stenholme. Paul Harrison needs 608,
Joe Harrison. Gil and a number of
others are within striking distance.
The odds are in favor of at least
one of the eight with 1900 or better
shooting another big set.
It may be that two men will be Joint
owners of the record. Max Rosenberg,
with a total of 1927 for the first 10
games, has named Perez Elicit to sub
for him tonight. Rosenberg has a
sprained ankle. If Perez has one of his
brilliant evenings, WolStenholme's rec
ord will be paled out of sight. The
Stanford Paper Co. captain has been
known TO beat 700 for five games, but
not in championship play. However,
nothing sensational is expected of Elicit,
who is not bowling up to his standard
of other seasons. He didn't bother to
enter the sweepstakes this year on that
account.
Max Is Thwarted.
Rosenberg is bitterly disappointed to
be mere spectator. This is the first
sweepstakes in which he was able to
get out of a gallop and it has been
burning ambition of Max to add the
stakes championship to his long list
of achievements.
Bradley Mandley, with an even 1900,
and Glenn Weidman, with 1895, are
the only members of the leading 10
who have shared the big purse before,
Mandley winning last year and WED
man being among the first three twice.
They are in strategically advantageous
spots.
Joe Harrison, in third place with
/ 1913, will be watched closely. In the
second set he rolled SOS for a sweep
given a tumble as a serious contender.
Hodges May Cut Loose.
Not much has been said about Har-
old Hodges who averaged exactly 100
for the first 10 games, but If this fell
low gets up full steam he may set not
one but several records. Hodges is the
type. Among his numerous
big sets in several leagues is one of
442, the best rolled by any league
bowler this season.

will be able to see the stars. Not even
Convention Hall, with its large grand
stand, was able to accommodate all the
would-be spectators at the coin classic
and the King Pin probably will be in
sufferably jammed. Manager Bob
Barnes will post the scores after each
game on a big board that will be placed
high enough on the wall for all to see.
The Meyer Davis team has a firm
hold on first place in the National
Capital League today because of a
double shutout of the Packwood Print
ing Co. bowlers. Capt. Joe McGolrick
shot 406 in one set and 372 in the other
for an average two pins short of 100.
Howard Campbell of the King Pins
whose ambition is to average 100 or
better for q National Capital League
record, picked up on a 123-pace by
shooting S97 against Parkway Filling
Station.
Only Larry Fitzgerald, southpaw
sweepstakes champion, was able to make
a worthwhile showing when Washing
toms leading forkhanders met Balti-
more's at the Rendezvous in the second
block of a homeland home series, the
visitors winning a five-game battle by
1853 pins, 2,s71 to 2,718. Damon led
with 621 and Roth got SIT NAPLES.

the series by So pins.
