Howard Campbell, Of Washing
ton; Jack Whalen, Of Atlanta:
Jack White, Of Waterbury; Ray
Won Dreele, Of Baltimore; Barney
Spinella, Of Brooklyn, and Paul
Pohler, of Boston. No, this Is
not q list Of the outstanding
bowlerS of representative duckpin
centerS, but the bone and marrow
OF what may develop into the
greatest singles match ever
staged, If George l.. ISeman, ma
t1onal secretary, and his induStri.
GUS operatives can swing it.
It is a direct by-product Of the
recent sensational intercity match
between the leeal Grand Palace
Valet and the Connecticut All
Stars, being the outcome of the
flood Of challenges that swamped
Jack White, the Nutmcgers'
flashy star.
Ray Won DreeIe's prompt
defy to White Just after he
had tOppled those last few
vital pins that gave him the
call over the Sailor, was
accepted with such aIacrity
by the New Englanders as to
make the Baltimore Dutch
man dizzy. -
But others and equally as meri-
toriouS challenges were being
fired at him and various other
prominent stars until there was
. regular croSS-fire, and it looked
very much as If President Hoover
would have to step in and name
one OF his usual commissions to
straighten out the muddle. This
drastic step was averted because
the uncannily reSourceful George
L. Iseman was right on the job.
George has the genius Of sever
ing these Gordial1 knots cropping
UP with such persistent regular
ity. Almost Immediately he had
seen his duty and launched forth
to fulfill it. He arranged that
which was for the greater glory
and progress Of the game.
There is a suspicion that deep
down in Georges heart he had
contemplated just such a match,
and was only biding his time
waiting for the psychological mo-
ment. And, 10, when PSyche'S
big moment was here, he comes
tearing in cast as the fairy god
mother, or shall we say, Paul
Revere?
Be it as it may, as usual,
George has done the right
thing in big way and every
one concerned, both fans and
players, will be benefited no
end.
When and where this match
or matches will take place is still
ha8y, but George, the omniscient,
will pick just the right spot or
spots and make every one happy.
Paraphrasing Doug Fairbank
eJaculat1on, we say, admlringly,
What a man, what a man is
this George L. Iseman."
Bringing Jack Whalen back into
the open will give pleasure to
the local fans, for Jack when he
loltered among us was one pop-
uIar .youngster. Down in Atlanta
he is billed as "the worlds
duckpin singles champion and
has a continuous round of these
far'famed head to head" affairs
particularly with one yclept Jack
Palmer. The contests, according
to undercover rumors, are no
run-aWays for the erstwhile Wash
ingtonian, the GeorgianH being
somewhat adept at upSetting the
undersized kegs.
Nevertheless, and without fear
or favor, this will be o,.e of those
halcyon affairs so often heard
OF IN song ard story. The list NAV
be increased or amended, 1t ali
depending on consequent devel.
opmentS, but the match or
matches are on.
Northeast Temple has two
five-mep teams completely
composed of brothers, the
Fryes and the VeihmyerS,
There was day when the
VeihrnyerS were alwayc bust
1nc forth into print, launch
ing and accepting challenges,
but currently they have fallen
in the back ground.
