BOWLERS
BY GNO SINH


It's going to be a hectic week
IN the District Bowling League,
with all five matches on the pro-
gram between evenly balanced
teams and all anxious to get some
where.
Tonight Norman Schroth is trot-
ting his Fountain Hams over to
Tad Howard's establishment to
tackle Tad's Rendezvous boys. and
the furnace will need no Stoking
around that place for both teams
will be scorching hot.
Rendezvous hasn't been faring
20 well, nor have the Hams, for
that matter, but it isn't because OF
lack of talent, or because the boys
aren't hitting them. 1t just hap
pens that all the teams in the
District League are Just naturally
tough, and the breaks make the
victories.
Wednesday night Convention
Hall Scuffles with Hyattsville on
the Fifth Street drives. Fresh
from a victory over the leading
Temple team, Paulie Harrison's
laddies are sharpening their cut
laSseS to put the "bee" on Henry
HiSer'S Baltimore Pikemen.
Temple Favored
Temple is favored to turn back
the Joe McGolrick's King Pins on
the same night seeing as the
, match will be in Red Megaw's
own back yard. However, Red is
looking forward to no cinches.
A team with HOkie Smith and
Art Logan on the firing lines, is
dangerous all the way, espe-
cialIy when backed by McGOl-
rick, Frank MischOu, Freddie
Moore and Pete LawhOrne.
Pete LawhOrne is the sub, but
what sub. He has rolled only
two sets, but both were over $50.
Howard Campbell's Lucky
Strikers have the luckiest strike
Of the week. when they tackle
: Lindsey Stott's Columbians on
Thursday at Lucky Strike. It
viii be no set-up, however, as
Stott'S boys are capable of chop
ping down plenty of naples and
particularly when it will be most
embarrassing to their opponents.
The week ends in a blaze of
blood and thunder when Pet
worth and Hecht Co., tied for
second place, go at each others
throat on Oscar Oehler's drives.
Due to the location Petworth
rules a slight favorite, but Hecht
Co. aces can pound them any
where.
John Blick's Midgets are off
to another brilliant campaign,
holding a 117-pin lead over the
Hyattsville Midgets in their first
match of the season. The final
block will be rolled at Hyattsville
next Saturday.
Turkey for Mooney
Suburban bowlers invaded the
Arcadia and left with a nice slice
Of cash each. They were Hugh
Crawley and Tommy Walker, who
finished second and third, reSpec-
lively, in the Saturday night
sweeps. Red Rhodes, an Arcadia
habitue, won with $40.
Fireman Jack Mooney has
already acquired a nice, fat
turkey for Thanksgiving, and
Charley Olive at Temple is foot
ing the bill.
Jack pulled an Abou Ben Ad-
hem and led all the rest in high
scores when Olive first announced
that he would offer a turkey to
the high scorer each Saturday.
BY the way, Jack is laying the
pins down in no mean numbers
in several leagues.
John Weeks, vice president of
the Holy Name League, was ru-
mored to have done some excep-
tional rolling in that league last
week, and it was exceptional.
He had a All set and 161 game,
both significant achievements any
where. The set gave st. Anthony
Q two-time victory over st. Peters,
but Tom Hughes Southeasters
fought 'em tooth and nail all the
way, Langley contributing 1853
set and 141 game to save one
game
