VETERANS who desire to shoot on
v old-timers' night are requested to
phone George Isemann at Nation
al 4807. George is rounding up the ''old
boys" for sort of reunion.
A mere lad compared with most of
them, but an outstanding veteran in
point of bowling experience, is Glenn
Wolstenholme. The famous King Pin
ner is SO years old and has been star
for II seasons. Come to think of it,
Wolstenholme is the dean of District
League bowlers, having been member
of the "big time" circuit since 1915,
when he broke in with John Vaeth's
Grand Central team.
Volumes have been written about
Wolstenholme. probably the most spec
tacular bowler in the history of the
game here, but one interesting fact has
been overlooked.
In II years he has been unable to
beat his first sensational league set, a
score of 426 rolled on the Ingram
Memorial Church drives at about the
time he donned long trousers
1t was record, only one other bowl
en- Jules Riston, having beaten 400
Riston's score was 404.
In the veterans squad will be anoth-
er who flashed in this same era. Ten
days after Wolstenholme shot 426
Charley Wright got off set Of 428.

Grams night. E. F. Mitchell, who halls
from Hartford, Conn, but is now resi-
dent Of this city. was some shakes as
a pin shooter when many of the pres
ent-day stars were shaverS.
Sports writers will have squad of
their own, and the competition will be
spirited. Gino SINH and Ben McAlwee
are about the best bowlers among the
scriveners, with Francis Stan making
brave effort to outshine them.
An afternoon squad will be arranged
for folk who toll at night.
