Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-01-03

bowler, had high hope today his
632 will win The Washington
stars mammoth singles tourna-
ment. which ends tomorrow night at
Convention Hall.
When Tony shot it on opening night,
he was only family optimistic. But
star after star has striven In vain to
beat it, and few more remain to try.
Tonight the famous King Pin crew,
captained by the redoubtable Howard
Campbell, will make an effort. Camp
bell, Bernie Frye, Jack Wolstenholme,
Raw Ward and Glen Weidman, all first
class. are listed in the 1915 squad. The
rest of the program is dotted with near
stars.
Not so hopeful as De Elmo is Bess
Ackman. who tops the girls with 344.
A big annoyance to Mrs. Ackman Is
GULL the Great, but there are others to
be feared, including Peggy Babcock,
Margaret Leaman, Billie Williams, Tnel-
ma Clark, Bronson Quaites, Rena Levy,
Pauline Bradburn, Catherine Qugiley
and Fay Morganstein. Any one of these
is capable Of topping Mrs. Ackman's
score If in perfect fettle. They Will
shoot at 8 o'clock.
Schroth Barely Misses.
Norman Schroth of the Cornell Lunch
team in the District League came within
a few inches, as it were, of passing De
Elmo. He cut deuce on spare when
a six-count would have done the trick.
Schroth marked in his final three
boxes. An excited gallery hedged In on
him as he delivered his last and all
important ball and his failure may be
g. hi
him in second place.
The largest crowd Of the season
turned out to see Paul Harrison, ma
tional record holder for five games shot
in championship play, 714-and was
disappointed, with q 536 set. It was
almost inevitable. Seldom in the his
tory of the game has q record-smasher
come back Immediately with q powerful
performance. Outstanding in this re-
spect was Ray Chapin's pair Of 434
marks made a decade ago on successive
weeks in the District and National Cap
ital Leagues.
He's q Philosopher.
Paul accepted failure philosophically
1T ran into a bad set, that's ALL" he
observed, and the young man didn't
seem much put out on his own account
I'm sorry the crowd was disappointed"
he said.
George Isemann stole the show from
Paulte; The National Duckpin@ Bowl
ing Congress secretary, shooting with
Harrison, the latter'S brother Joe, and
Joe Mulroe, carved q set Of 500, which
may win q prize.
Lonnie Krauss took his Coliseum
crowd" to the tournament in a body
and in a general way they distin-
guished themselves. Ken Thorpe shot
the high game Of the tournament, 1855,
and totaled $685. Bradley Mandley
totaled 500 and Schroth got $40. All
are members of the Cornell Lunch
team, which claims the Coliseum as
home. In his 165 string Thorpe made
marks. including q double-header.
The worst bowling done in the
tournament-some of the worst ever
done In the world-marked the per-
Torrance of a double squad of Wash
ington Star entrants, many Of whom
never before had rolled a duckpin ball.
1t was q lot Of fun, but nearly all paid
for IL today with variety Of aches. H.
Knott won distinction of q sort by
opening with a game of SO and finish
ing with one of 104. Starting with q
game of 121, Johnny Baum reSembled
his old self, when he was one of the
truly great, but he couldn't hold the
pdSC AAAd WOuAAA dP WAGAA jog, RAAo
behind his rolling mate, Charley Hol-
brook, the Glass G singles champion
of the Washington City Duckpin Asso-
citation.
Wood Puts on Hot Hand.
Bill Wood, the Lucky Strike and King
Pin chieftain, surprised himself with q
$50 set, including a game of 153, the
latter corker, in which he had 2
clusters of marks and g.
Mabel Jenkins of the Eastern Star
League led the girls for the night with
800, which put her in fifth place. Sec
ond best was Blanche Wooten of Silver
Spring with 306.
Max Rosenberg, who will shoot dou-
bles with Paul Harrison tomorrow at
the Coliseum against the Connecticut
pair, Bill Tato and Carl F'riSk, was as
badly of form as his partner. His set
was SOL. They totaled 1867, a score
that would make them ridiculous If
made in doubles.
All Of which bears out the oft-made
