Sweepstakes Saturday 1t Is the
only national bowling affair to be held
in Washington this year, the u. S.
Stakes, both mems and womens, being
awarded Baltimore, and the u, S.
Tournament going to Norfolk.
Most everybody predicted that the
winner OF the current Meyer Davis Girls
Sweepstakes wouldn't have to equal or
better last years 9-game score of I,074.
That still goes despite Margaret Lea
mans 351 set Saturday.
But what most everybody forgot was
that this year two of the three sets will
be bowled at the Lucky Strike. while
the other will be shot at the King Pin.
Last year 1t was distributed at the Co
lunoia, King Pin and Lucky Strike.
HOKIE SMITH not only is a fine
bowler, but the youngster has an
IDEAL temperament, including mod
esty. Before the season he was asked
what he thought he would average.
Around I16 or IT," was his answer.
Today he is leading the District
League with 124-13. And half of his
sets nave been rolled on the King Pin
alleys, reputed to be about the toughest
IN the league, Recently some one at
tempted to syrnpathize.
Tough?" laughed Hokie, mo they're
not tough. I like 'em."
Nevertheless, many point out the fact
that none of his King Pin teammates is
averaging over IA and wonder what
Hokae's mark would be if he had an
other set Of drives for his home alleys.
