BEATS 400 TWICE
TO GAIN ON H|SER
HyattsviIIe Man Makes Bid
to Become Outstanding
Bowler of Season.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN.


~ NE of his own playmates
A has risen to challenge the
~ supremacy Of Henry Hise1
In the District and Prince
Georges County Duckpin Leagues,
which Henry leads with averages
of slightly better than 40.
Perez Wolfe, in fact, threatens
to become the seasons outstand-
ing bowler. He has been the most
sensational for the last two weeks,
at any rate, having achieved the
rare feat Of shooting two consecu-
tive league sets Of better than 400
Last week he picked up on Hiser in
the District League with q 422 set,
rolled with Hyattsville. Last night,
with the same team, he whitfield Hiser's
margin in the County League with 9
score of 423. His games were La, 10l
and 100. This was Wolfe's third 400
performance Of the season.
TvHE first local event Of its kind, the
i Arcadia Boys Sweepstakes, win be
UcIQ pOIklOEIOW ~ tsoV VOAOSA ~
the Arcadia establishment.
The stakes are open to all boys under
IS years of age. There viii be no
charge. Three games will be bowled
and total pins to count. Five dollars
VIII be given the winner.
ToX, ancforman Of the Cubs in the
~ Recreation League last night rolled
peculiarly consistent 800 set.
rAA
shot l22 In each Of his efforts.
Cubs. however, lost three to the 10
Kos. Louie Pantos' 382 set was high
for the winners.
VYTAsHNGToN's girl bowlers have q
w decisive edge on Baltimore's, it ap-
pears from comparison Of scores
made In the annual Meyer Davis Sweep
stakes and the Baltimore Women's
Ducxpin Association Sweepstakes.
The stakes in the Monumental City
recently ended with May Schneider the
winner with Q nine-game set total Of
966. Last year Lorraine GULL won the
Meyer Davis event with q score Of 1929,
which Is an all-time women'S record.
It Is almost certainty that this record
viii fall tomorrow when the local girls
wind up the rich tournament at King
Pin, No. /.
Violet Holmes was runner-up to May
Schneider in the Baltimore women's
stake with a score of 929. Frances
Krieg took third place with 900; Mabel
Shaw, fourth, with GOT, and Anna
Smith, nth, with 300.
At the end of six games o rough
estimate Of the shade of superiority may
be cleaned by the scores of the PIN
cites in the Davis sweepstakes. Marjorie
Brandt Smith Is leading with 712. She
needs to shoot only ass to better the
winning score Of May Schneider. Ltor-
raine GULL Is second, with 683. A 20l
set win bring her up to 96T. Following
in order among the local girls are Billie
Butler with $50. Doris Goodall with $40,
Margaret Miltner with 620 and Iva
Guide with 626.
Discounting Marjorie Smith and Lor-
raine GULL taking for granted they will
reach 966, should Billie Butler bowl BOT,
Doris Goodall, 326; Margaret Miltner
328, and Eva Guide, $40, Saturday night,
it viii make six girls who have bettered
the winners score in Baltimore.
1t Is probable that at least four win
do It.
Another example I'm comparing the
scores may be had In high three-game
set. Helen Hottenbacker was high in
Baltimore with ga. At the end Of the
sixth game In the local Stakes i've girls
have bettered 334 and another has tied
1t. Several more better than-S34 sets
are expected Saturday.
High set in the Meyer Davis Sweep
stakes thus far Is held by Marjorie
Smith with $50, with Lorraine CULTS
356 second, both considerably better
than Helen Hottenbacker's top set.
Marjorie Smith needs only 3l8 to
break Lorraine CULTS 1923 all-time

D ALPH BRACKBuL, bowling editor
N Baltimore Evening Sun, and
George Isemann, secretary Of the
N. d. B. c., agree that the apparent
margin Of superiority among fair
howlers Of the two cities very likely
may be m the foul-line ruling.
