EberSoIe'S New Arrangement
Is Boon to .Near-Experts
With Slim Chances.
BY R. D. THOMAS.

4 the Howard Campbell
Sweepstakes, WaShington's
blue ribbon bowling tournament,
will feel less like "saps" this year
than heretofore, when not more
than a third of the entrants we're
warranted in being confident Of
getting back their coin.
Due to the thoughtfulness of
Arville Ebersole, secretary of the
Washington City Duckpin Associa-
ton and ever eager to help the
bowling underdog, the sweepstakes
money will be split this time in
such manner as to give all con-
Cestants a fair chance of at least
breaking even.
In the past one needed three powerful
f1ve-gane scores TO share In the money,
which was split three or four ways. But
In the event to open January "a each
bowler viii have six more chances than
formerly to save his entry Fee Ebersole
has arranged to set aside $3.50 for spe-
cial prizes,
High game and high set Of each
block will be worth $25 each provided
the bowlers who shoot them do not fig
ure IN the general purse. No contestant
win be eligible for more than one prize.
This comes as happy news to many
who year after year have striven in vain
for the big money, knowing to start
with they were up against prohibitive
odds, but spurred by the hope that fills
the heart of every bowler who at one
time or another has put on a "hot
hand"
WITH the new arrangement larger
w field is to be expected. EbersoIe
looks for so entries, which would
make a purse of-41 500.
Glenn Weidman, who collected $50 for
first place in The Evening Star tourna-
ment, has tucked away half of it to de-
fray Campbell Sweepstakes expenses.
When three members of the None
such team failed 10 show the other
night for an Evening Star League

mics and entered combat with the Hot
Tamales. The twosome won all three
gamesl
Elicit shot a 337 and Long S29. The
dummies were 90, 80 and 95.
Lon Krauss, the Columbia manager,
finds himself In constant demand as
an authority on bowling rules. He
handed out bit of information re-
Gently that was a surprise even to most
OF the well informed, TO wit, that if a
team forfeits any member thereof who
happens to be present may shoot his
three games and have them counted in
the averages.
a SPIRITED battle will be fought
IA tomorrow night at the Recreation
by the Dixie Pigs and the Co

stick.

Little Al Baer of the Blick Midgets is
one of the towns most unusual bowl
ers. Not yet IA, he is so small he must
use his wrist to help grip the ball, yet
consistently shoots scores better than
100. In The Evening Star tournament

games after he finished the 100-game
