"IFTY BUCKS Is lot Of dough for
- a bowler, to post as entrance fee
for the United States Sweep
stakes, but the little pin sages
ht Georgetown Recreation have found
D way to get around that. They're go

because Of the entrance fee, they're
staging the Georgetown Recreation
Sweepstakes November 90, each bowler
putting up iron men and the winner,
instead of coming into cold cash, Is
entered in the sweepstakes.
Nor can the stars who do their maple
crashing at other than the Georgetown
Recreation alleys enter, All entries In
the Georgetown stakes must be regu-

is sure too win.

Next to Lorraine came Lucille Preble
with 94s. followed by Catherine Quigley
and Lucy Owen with counts of $50 and

Probably this mark will not be beaten
this season, but its safe wager that
the 948 shot for second place will not
be good enough to take first place this
year.
