@OWLNG philosophers are at
K it in a new argument, born
- Of the doubles record Of 784
hung up by Max Rosenberg
and George Honey in the Wash
ington City Duckpin Association
championships at the Lucky
Strike.
Association officials announced
It as a tournament record, but
some authorities appraised it
higher. They declared it an all
time mark for the city despite an
804 recorded in the National
Duckpin Bowling Congress arch
ives for Rosenberg and Paul Har-
rison, rolled January a year ago.
Max and Paul totaled 8o4 for three
games, shooting for the Grand Palace
Wallets against the Connecticut Blue
Ribbons in a special match, but their
cluster Of big scores was part Of a Ave-
game set.
The bone Of contention is whether
three, or any number Of consecutive
games lifted from string should count
as a record. Among the negatives are
such authorities as Lonnie KrausS and
the city associations esteemed Secre-
tary, Arville Ebersole. They delve into
the psychology of record shooting and
split hairs, but the sum Of their argu-
u1ent seems to be that a brilliant part
Of q performance should not be &C
cepted by itself any more than f1ne
part Of faulty work Of art should
rate the thing as whole as a master
piece. oh, well.
WITH mite of luck, Rosenberg and
w Honey would have smashed the
all-time record, such as 1t Is. In
the last game Max cut deuceS on two
spares and totaled only Is for the two
boxes and in the same string picked
two pin break that was followed by
fat count. Honey hit one break per-
fectly, but left up q stick.
Theirs is the only record made 50 far,
With q week Of the big tournament
finished.
Gus Freedburg and E. Y. johnson,
who established a class G doubles rec
ord for the w. C. D. A. four years ago
-720-came within five sticks Of equal
srred Of first money again.
The association paid out $3.50 last
year for doubleheaders, at q dollar
apiece, and considerable more for
tftple5. The bill likely will be larger
this time, there being many more
bewlers engaged. So far three triples
have been made, worth IS each.

with many star singles, doubles and
teams yet to roll four an-time records
Of the womens association have been
shattered.
THE Columbians' 1878 in the Class A
team event bettered by several pins the
former record made by the Commercials
a7year ago.
The outstanding performance Of the
tourney, however, was the 1853 set rolled
b1 Alice McQuinn in the Class A singles,
while A. Smiths 292 In the individual
event Of Class D was II pins better than
the former mark, rolled by g. tombstone
last year.
Bill Wood the bowling promoter, was
reported resting comfortably last night
at Providence Hospital, where he may
undergo an operation for gall stones.
