Strangely enough, though this
IS the fourth running Of this
! brilliant event, and practically
every bowler who took part in

who, on a special occasion
such as this, manages to de.

amiable,, and competent PIN
Crusher George ISeman, who won
the sweepstakes run out at those
alleys last year with plenty to
spare.
Another Sweepstakes winner
will be Hugh Waldrop, who cap
tured Henry Hiser's Hyattsville-
Arcade stakes last season.
Sam Benson and Harold Hodges

errant and those who know these
two are not inclined to overlook
them in discussing probabilities.
Sam came through to snatch the
National All-Event title, at Rich
mond, which is the most coveted
crown In national duckpin circles.
Harold Hodges recently achieved

Ray Ward and possibly Larry

Hokie Smith, backed by Harry
Wilmington, will bear the south
east queenpin colors into the
fray. He is another who certainly
can't be counted out Of the run

idea of what he is capable Of.

both old-timers in the stakes, and
having always given a good &C
count of themselves, with Reds

fray, will also carry that Of the
