Ray and Jack, who are protegeS
Of John s. Blick, claim to be the
smallest doubles teams eXtant
Ray weighs SO pounds and Jack
81. Their challenge to all two
SomeS, if any other exist, with
poundage not exceeding 124 to
the pair.
They might raise the limit by not a
few pounds and stu be able to compete
successfully. Games of better than LOG
are nothing extraordinary in the young
lives Of Jack, aged IA, and Ray, is. In
a contest between themselves the other
day Jack shot 127 with four marks, and
Ray breezed home In front with q
score of 14S that included several clus-
ters of marks.
Blick has been given power of attor-
ney by the cocky young fellows, and
any who care to meet them under the
conditions laid down can reach their
manager by phone at Adams 9SOo.
They're sticklers for rules enforce
ment In the North Of Washington
League, and justly so, no doubt. But
Buck Mcdonald, q member Of the j.
Carey King team, may feel that the
boys were unduly stringent with aim
the other night.
Mcdonald was thrilled to make a
double-header strike and chagrined the
next moment when the second shot was
ruled out because he had rolled on the
wrong alley.
Some sympathized and some laughed.
Buck laughed last. He up and made
another strike, this one on the right
drive.
Wonder how much of a squawk there
would have been II Mcdonald had cut
q deuce on his first mark?
John Harville, q high ranker until
two years ago, when he hurt his wing,
probably holds q record for chopping
deuces. In . bowling poker game at
the King Pin No. Harville cut i've
consecutive ducks" to win the hand
ConSummate skill was required to do
this, The last three deuces were in
territorial. One Of Harville's opponents
strung several skies and John kept pace
with pairs. In each instance he plucke6
Nos. 3 and 8, No. 8 being immediately
to the right of the headpin.
The last-game Hops of several bowl
ers who had excellent opportunities to
win the Campbell sweepstakes sum-
moned memories of great shots made in
pincheS by Washington stars. Two
stand out. There was the one Howard
Campbell pulled in the national tourna-
ment two years ago, which won two
championships. He spared in the last
frame and counted enough to give his
team nrst place by two pins and him
margin. In the same tournament All
Fischer won the singles by striking in
the last box and counting Is. His mar
gin' too. was two sticks.
No metal is used in the laying Of a
bowling drive, except on the field of
play, so BIZ Wood raised a skeptical
complained:
There's loose nail or screw on this
on line"
If there's screw loose in that al
ley" laughed Bill, then there's one
loose in my head"
But there was one, sure enough. It
had dropped onto the drive from an
electric lamp and become partly I'M
bedded.
If Augustus Kennedy sets pins for
you at the Lucky Strike It isn't neces-
sary to keep score. Augustus can do
1t for you and without crayon and pad.
He has an unusual memory,
Kennedy surprised the King Pin team
one night by calling out its score be-
fore the counts on the sheet were added.
The King Pins thought there was
trick in it, but Pop Evans investigated
and found that Augustus really kept
score in his noodle. Evans put him
through several tests. He could call
instantly the score of each member Of
q team at the end Of q game and give
the grand total, but he couldn't keep
score for both teams.
There's q pin boy at the big King
Pin, called Abe, who can pick up i've
pins IN each hand and set them In
Jiny. II you think this Is easy, figure
how you'd do it.
The story is told by a pin-setting
marvel at Frederick, Md, who used
his toes like fingers, and set sticks
faster than the average bowler cared
to knock 'em over.
Speaking Of speed. Lucky Strike pin
boy last New Year day set UP 275 games
He earned 81, the holiday commission
