By GINO SINH

Burning with indignation over
the only defeat they have re-
ceived in over two years Of duck
pin competition against country's
leading teams, Lewis Hupfep-
maier's National Pale Dry crew
entrained for Hartford, Conn, to-
day, confident that they will
more than wipe out their humilia-
ton when they tackle their con-
querors, the Connecticut Blue
Ribbons, at the Charter Oak al
leys, tomorrow night.
The Washingtonians are trail
ing by So pins in the team match,
SO in the doubles, with Howard
Campbell holding a 24-pin lead
over Jack White, the Connecticut
ace.
Defeat Shocks Fans
It was a shock to the local
duckpin fans, who have been fol
lowing the career of the hard
hitting team of youngsters, when
they failed to hit any kind Of
creditable stride against the Nut
Sneggers.
The Pale Drys, org I'd by
Ben McAlwee, sport ter Of
The Herald, as tb' original
Washington JuniOv had not
trailed in . mate up to last
Friday, staging several hair
raising cOmebacks to stave off
defeats.
Until a week previous they
had rolled II five-game sets over
the 1900 mark, piling up their
mightieSt set, 3021 in overwhelm.
ing Oscar Hiser's Hyattsville
Stars.
Every one of their victims hold
prominent places in the national
bowling circles. They started
their career by trimming the Bal
timore Recreation Juniors four
times in a row. Then they added
George Lang's Baltimore Bowling
Center team and Ray Won
Dreele's Recreation Happy Five
couple Of times each. Mag Woods
District League Ten-Year Men
proved easy picking, and they
had little trouble overcoming
Hiser's gang in a warm-up match
for the epic intercity fray.
Eddie ESpey, 18-year-old ma
tional junior champion, whose
amazing rise to duckpin pinnacles
was the sensation of two years
ago, has been welding the big
bludgeon for the Pale DryS, top
pling 10 consecutive 900" sets,
before he faltered.
HOkie Smith Stars
"Hokie" Smith, the Southeast
Washington boy wonder, has been
starring alongside Of young Espey.
While "Hokie" hasn't been hitting
consistently big sets, he delivered
appropriate scores on occasions.
He had 604 last Friday with
Espey's 583 second.
Both Paulie Harrison and
Jack WOlStenholme have been
tOp-nOtchers in local duckpin
circles for years. They have
been in the headlines so long
that fans view the statement
that these two chaps are not
yet FL, skeptically.
Paulie and Jack have been
sharing honors so evenly that it
is hard for their followers to
keep their various achievements
apart. Both have been ranked
among the first ten bowlers of
the city since the w. c. D. A..
has been making this list.
Paulie Harrison captured one
Of the most coveted D. c. titles
last year when he became w. c..
.. A. class 4 all-event champion.
Tim Dunworth, reserve for the
big intercity match, in making
his first big time" appearance
with the Juniors, slashed out a
$50 set, but hasn't been able to
hit anything big since. He is a
long, lean 17-year youngster, with
plenty of grit and splendid
things are expected of him in
the near future.
Since taking over the team
from McAlwee, Hupfenmaier'S
has added Howard Campbell and
Make Rosenberg, two of the
games brightest all-time stars,
to his lineup.
