Only Rosenberg stood the gaff. A y

vital pinch and Mandley, to the amaze

Friend was unfortunate. He was ex-
ceptionally accurate but was logged by
splits. George missed only one spare
break IN the flve games and picked
three, all of the latter being three-pin
triangles. Rosenberg blew few marks
but was glued to the headpin all the
way. He muffed the chief stick only
twice. He got a doubleheader in the"
FIRST game and another in the last.
Max appeared doomed to low score IN
the fourth when he went seven frames
without mark, but pulled out of trou-E

spares in the ninth and tenth. ~

Sam Benson, the GEORGETOWN Recreas

pion, wasn't going anywhere in particu-
lar, having only 1,104 for the first 10
games, but gave the fans a thrill with
a game of 179, highest of the tourna-
ment, which he achieved mainly bytt
means OF a tripleheader strike. sou
Red Morgan, leader of the District
League, finally got out of a gallop and
shot 644. 1t was too late, however, to-
be useful.
Joe Harrison, who established u
sweepstakes record in the previous set
with a score Of Cos and was third en-
tering the final, had an off-night and
his $40 pulled him far from the money
Two surprising fops were Glen
Weidman and Howard Campbell, the (
King Pin aces. Weidman had a real
chance for a slice of the dough, which,
he shared in two other sweepstakes but
last night could gather only STA naples.
CamppeI, who also was In the pay linea
twice before, had an outside chances
but rolled 500, the poorest showing he
ever made in any tournament.
Harold Hodges, a sensational leagu4
performer this season, would have been
a prize winner with his normal accuSi
racy shooting spares. To his total OFT
1900 for the first 10 strings Harold
added 58S, but missed opportunity for
much higher score when he blew
five single-pin breaks, behind two OF
which he had strikes =
