TOPS SLEW Y
WITH 103
PACE
BY GINO SINH

catherine Quigley, Beeques
diminutive luminary, is storming
her way to high individual aver
ages honors in the Washington
Ladies League.
In the last month she has
carried her average from around
the 1O1 mark to 103-45. This was
some job because the young lady
had already 45 games to her
credit, and lifting your average
one point after you have gone
that distance is what Is known
among the Greeks as herculean
task.
She achieved her present mark
not by sudden spurts and big
sets, but by dint Of hard, steady,
determined shooting. Her high
est set and game are 127 and
$50, a helper, but no INT.
1t was a steady, unbroken flow
Of 315 or better for the last 10
sets, which gradually, impercepti-
bly, lifted her into first place in
the Ladies Loop, which shares the
limelight only with the Ladies
District.
Rena Levy has been slip
ping as fast as Catherine has
been climbing. The pins are
falling hard for Rena at the
COliSeum.
Unable to crash a set big
enough on which to base a come
back. the great southpaw is in a
slump which may pave the way
for Luicile Preble to carry the
runner-up place.
Over in the Ladies District,
though, Rena is queen of all that
she surveys. Walloping the pins
with her usual expertness, she is
maintaining a 103 average, re-
quiring just a little squirt to crawl
over the 104 mark.
Here, too, Quigley, Lucy Owen
and Preble are bothersome, with
Preble runner-up with close to a
102 sock.
It will be merry battle among
the fair ones for top honors up
to the end of the season, just
three or four sets away.
Each one of the big ladies
leagues have a different cham
pion, Lucy Owen topping the
Eastern Star girls, Elsie Fischer
heading the parade in the Ladies
Federal, and Levy and Quigley
having a strangle hold in the
District and Washington Ladies
League respectively.
ArvilIe L. EbersOIe is tickled
pink over the initial entries
for the Washington City
Duckpin Association tOurna-
Inent.
The Electrical League is com
pletely and unrevocably entered,
and the Masonic, Odd Fellows
and Knights of Columbus are
merely waiting the formality OF
getting every members name on
the dotted line.
The particularly pleasing fea-
ture is that the entries are of
the blanket type. That is, cover
ing every event, team, doubles
and singles.
The final set of the second
elimination round of the news
paper mems tournament will be
rolled this afternoon and even
ing. From the scores rolled yes
terday it appears that SIS is
required to survive in the cham
pionship round, while 400 may
suffice in the buffers" division.
One of the features of last
weeks round was the perform
ance of ACE" Simpson, Washing
ton Times soccer editor, who one
handed and without the use of
any mechanical devices Whatso-
ever, rolled a game Of 142, includ-
ing six straight marks. Three Of
the monkey variety. He missed a
81 ninth box break by the proven
bial "whisker" slapped over
another mark in the tenth and
thereby achieved the greatest
single game of his long and hon.
orable bowling career. RumorS, of
the baseball type, would have it
he started in 1895.
Another extraordinary fact"
points out the amiable George,
1T didn't wear bowling shoes.
What's more, I only got IL pins
on my first three marks. A rip
ping performance, eh, what?"
