Had Lorraine performed bril-
liantly, as usual, the bowling
scriveners would have mentioned
the fact merely in recording the
tournaments high scorers. But
Miss GULL was flop, and as such
was worth a fat paragraph in all
the chronicles.
Enough has been published about the
queen of duckpin bowlers to fill a fat
volume and she appears to have become
urcommonly callous to printed praise.
But compliment is being paid her now
by woman bowlers that should stir even
a jaded vanity
Would Ostracize Queen.
Personally she is popular, but the
girls would be pleased to have Miss
GULL barred from all leagues. They say
so. but not right out in public nor to her.
They simply admit Lorraine Is IN class
by herself and want no more proof OF
the fact. Most of them are reluctant to
compete against her, knowing defeat
to be inevitable in the end. They fear
that a concerted move TO bring about
her disbarment would be miSconStrued
and injure Miss CULTS feelings or in
some way place her in an untavorable
light before the public.
1t is commended that now Miss GULL
is earning livelihood in the game as
exhibition bowler and assistant secre-
tary of the National Duck Pin Bowling
Congress she should forego the small
time"
Wherever she appears In an exhi-
bition the best girl bowler obtainable
is matched with her, making victory
worth while as a rule, and, she Is made
much of generally. There should be
enough kick in all that, as the girls see
it without her caring to bother with the
comparatively insignificant pieces OF
laurel she could harvest in ordinary
league play. laurel that means so much
to others.
Has Another Twist.
Perhaps Miss GULL has given the
matter thought and views it from a
similar slant. But it is not for her to
tell the world she is just too good for
her old playmates.
Then there's another and what seems
70 be a mighty important side of the

cedent to bar Miss GULL. The act
would presuppoSe that no one would
rise to take her present place. In the
event another GULL appeared, would
she. too, be barred because she stood
out above the mob?
Maybe somebody'u propose a ban on
George Friend if he makes the field

when the classic is finished next Satur-

tainly George has made himself popu-
lar as measles lately with those bowling
against him. It is not improbable that
Friend already has arranged to invest
the $500 that goes with first place in the
sweepstakes and to sock the S17l medal.
He's that confident. George warned
everybody he'd beat $50 in the second
set Of the money tournament and made
good, with several pins to spare.
watch Out for Brad.
one of the most respected among the
IL who enter the final skirnish with a
total of 200 or better is Bradley Mand-
lev. the defending champion. Mandley
has an even 200 for 10 games. He
proved his class by winning the event
last year and he's an easy bet TO take
part of this years cash. Colorless. cool,
mechanically almost pertect-thatS
Mandley.
1t would be something to live long in
duckpin history If the Harrison BOYS,
Paul and joe ran one-two. They're
now second and third. Joe has been
overshadowed by the record-snashing
Paul this season. so much 50 that little
attention was given him when he en-
tered the sweepstakes. He made Paul
take a back seat by shooting SOS at Con-
vention Hall for a tournament record
and If the pins break well for him next
Saturday night he may keep his tall
brother there FOR another evening. Joe
is great only in spots and it would be
surprising If he came through with an
other whopper.
Lindstrom Fools EN-.
Nobody gave Chester A. Lindstrom Of
Bethesda a tumble when heputs his $28
on the line but he'll have lots of atten-
ton henceforth. Lindstrom is fourth
and only nine pins behind the leading
Friend, having rolled Gil at the Coli
scum and Git at Convention Hall.
Lindstrom piles up his scores with
strikes. made a triple-header in one
of the sweepstakes games.
The famous Red Megaw is having n
terrible time this season. Mr.. McGrew''
hasn't been able to get out of a gallop
in any sort of competition and is hope
lessly sunk in the sweepstakes, an event
he won two years ago.
