champion. Mrs Ackman is conceded
about an even chance to finish on top.
One of the largest crowds that ever
thronged Convention Hall was on hand
last night AT times it was difficult TO
pick ones way through the giant es-
tablishment.
AL Fischer, former national singles
champion, was best Tor the nlght Win
q set of 622 and with bit OF luck
would have overtaken the leader, Tony
de Elmo, whose score is 632.
Fischer needed lis in his last game
to top De Elmo. He had rolled ITO,
131. i49 and 1913. In the vital string
Al made his breaks like champion,
but a 2 count and one of 8 on spares
ruined his chance. He got nearly all
the wood for 1o4.
Loses Big Chance.
Another hard-luck performer was
Sarah Updike, who rolled into second
place with 337. She needed 119 in the
last to pass Mrs. Ackman. having
marked up 119 and LOT. She encoun-
tered six splits, but kept trying va
liantly and by cleaning up the wood
expertly earned 106.
Ellen Viehmyer'S 33l put her IN
fourth place Her score last year would
have been good for second place.
Mary Cox, the Northeast Temple and
Hilltopper bowler, was another whose
golden opportunity faded in the stretch
She backed up a 102 with 127, but
faltered in the third and scored 80 for
a set of 324.
Pauline Bradburn, with 316, and
Catherine Quigley, with 312, in con-
trast to the other stars of the night,
finished strongly, Mrs. Quigley with 124
and Mrs Bradburn with l19.
The last game has been struggle
for nearly every one of the male lead
ers or Arthur Logan smacked the
headpin to a fare-ye-well last night for
games of 131, 100. 100 and 122, only
to be outdone by the fifth-string jinx,
which begrudged him 108 for total
of sol.
Mag Wood had the same experience.
He had 500 going into the final, with
124 needed to top De Elmo. He wound
up with l08 and a set of GIT, which
tied him with Eddie Espey for fourth
place.
Joe Freschi is one of the few pro-
Bpective prize winerS to put hot hand
at the wind-up, 146 boosting him to
Cos.
The hydra-eyed foul line Judge. Fritz
Oppenheimer, called attention to the
significant fact that no foul was called
on the 81 girls who rolled last night. 1t
appears that the girls respect that
black streak more than the males.
Harry Krauss took a five-game work
put, and pulled up putting with set Of
DIS. He started like the Nose" of old,
with two fat spares.
Lonnie KrausS was in the gallery be-
hind his brothers alley.
I'm recruiting youngsters for team
ut the Coliseum" explained Alonzo,
"and am scouting prospect"
Cox Reverses Form.
Dave Cox, conspicuous in the Recrea-
ton League. was the victim of a reversal
of form. His tournament total was $50,
but on the previous night Dave had
rolled 410 with the BearcatS in the
Recreation League. 1t was his second
three-game set of the season in the 4C0
class, the other being 405.
On the same night Cox got his 4l0,
Louis Pantos of the District Line Ga
rage EOlicu 7l0. EdIlbOS previously Ildd
scored 412 and 4o5. There have been
eight 400 sets IN the Recreation
League this season, Pantos and Cox
having five between them.
Charley Phillips, who holds the Wash
+ jngton record for a league set-458-
got of TO a promising start with 1870,
but having Earl Stocking for an alley
mate was too much for Charley, and
he did well to get SAB, two more than
s Oil
None of the King Pins, leaders Of
. the District League, got within the
charmed 20, Bernie Frye, with 585,
and Howard Campbell, with 585, being
best Jack Wolstenholne. upon whom
John Blick wagered many cigars, had
S37 one more than Paul Harrison, the
other Blick choice.
