Another busy weekend is on the
program for local duckpin fans.
Besides the habitual round Of
weekly sweepstakes, there will be
two classy intercity tits, with the
little known, but powerful Boule-
ward team Of Baltimore scheduled
to complete its match with TIN
Swan Big Five, Columbia Heights
League leaders, while the crack
Temple Southpaws, Of the North
east League, will face the Eclipse
Laundry team Of Richmond.
The Boulevard team completely
demolished the Washington quint
In last Saturdays match by
smashing the pins for a mighty
676 total in their very first try.
This starter so surprised the
Swan outfit that they we're un-
able to break out in any kind Of
stable scores.
This 675 score, which is
one of the biggest amassed In
the history of duckpins, was
achieved mainly through the
brilliant shooting of the
three least known members
Of the team.
Buck Earle, well-known south
paw, having a 103 while Lou
Ditzel, who recently blazed into
the headlines with 181 game,
q new Baltimore city mark, had
116. Milburn had 1853, Casey lat,
and Druden 151. With a little
more luck, these boys would have
had a TOO game. They finished
with 2979, which gave them a
lead of about $50 pins.
Says 'Al' Fischer, captain OF
She Mt. Pleasant pinsters: Wait
until we get them on our alleys.
They surprised us, but we are
going to scare them. Yes, sir.
There'll be no fooling. We are
going to start right in crushing
those NAPLES and won't let up
until the last ball is rolled and
the last pin toppled. Well breeze
by that 5000 figures with all
colors flying. Be at the Arcadia
tonight and watch the splinterS
fly" ....
Fischer's lineup is almost the
same as the Convention Hall
team which rolls in the District
League, with himself, Carroll
DAILY, Joe Mulroe, May Wood and
Nolan.
