PREFER DUNWORTH
TO ALL-STAR PLAN
Campbell, Rosenberg Great,
but Out of Place on
Team of Comrades.
BY r. d. THOMAS.

T EW HOPFENMAIER gained two
IL great bowlerS when he signed
Howard Campbell and Max
Rosenberg, but the National Pale
Dry leader probably made a mis-
take by altering the lineup
turned over to him by Ben Nc
Alwee.
A year ago McAlwee gathered
what he believed to be the five
best young bowlerS in the city and
organized a team he called the
Original Washington Juniors.
They clicked from the start.
Their average age was about 10,
they had much in common, and
Tim Dunworth, Eddie Espey, Jack
WolStenholme, Paul Harrison and
Hokie Smith quickly became COM
rades.
Their friendship was cemented by the
splendid leadership Of McAlwee, and the
all-for-one and one-for-al spirit was a
leading factor In a long succession OF
trfumphs.
McAlwee thought to shoot his strip
hngS against bowlerS Of their own age.
In fact, the original plan called only
for a series with the best youngsters of
Baltimore. But having vanquished the
latter, the Washington team became
ambitious and eventually stood ready
to take on all corners. Among their
victims was the crack Recreation Happy
Five of Baltimore.
There was talk of the Juniors being
the strongest team in the Capital City
of any age, and they probably were.
Anyway, they appealed az such to Lew
Hopfenmaier, who not only ADMIRED
their bowling ability but cottoned to the
youngsters personally. Last November
he proposed to pay all their expenses II
they would represent his business con-
Germ. The Original Washington Juniors
became the National Pale Drys in short
order.
WITH Hopfenmaier generous spon-
w sor and McAlwee a shrewd pro-
moter, the National Pale Drys'
fame grew apace and the youngsters
became even stancher friends. But a
fly was about to be dropped into their
cup Of equanimity.
Tim Dunworthy fell i'll and it was
necessary to find a substitute in
a match with the HyattSville ALL
Stars. The place was given the ever
popular Howard Campbell. 1t was the
first time the youthful combination had
been broken.
It was necessary in this instance, but
Tim was back in shape when the biggest
preached, the battle with the Connect
cut Blue Ribbons, strongest team IN
New England, yet Campbell was an
nouncsd again as Dunworth's substitute.
Moreover, Rosenberg was added as
reserve.
Tim accepted the situation gracefully.
He had been the weakest member OF the
lineup, anyway. and in so important
match a veteran of Campbells ability
would be q steadying influence. 1t was
traditional, too, that the great Howard
shoot anchor What big intercity match
had he not participated in IN the last
five or six years?
EVERYTHING was okay with Dun
II worth, but the new arrangement
was not altogether popular with
several of his mates. They liked ana
admired Campbell, but Tim was their
pal However, they felt duty bound to
acquiesce, inasmuch as Hopfenmaier
was footing the bill.
Campbell bowled and Dunworth
watched the opening set, rolled at the
Lucky Strike. Howard was never able
10 get out Of ga1Icp and the Pale Drys
suffered their first defeat. In the Sec
ond half. rolled at Hartford, the famous
anchor man removed himself after
shooting two miserable games, ana Ro-
senberg was put in his place, though
passing well Again the Pale Drys lost.
About this time somebody recalled
that Dunworth had done his share when
the team shot its highest SIT, 3,049,
against the Baltimore Happy Five, and
under circumstances that had all the
youngsters thoroughly on their mettle.
Also, it was pointed out that since the
Hvattsville match, in which he shot 614,
Campbell had rolled nine games with
the team and in none of them gath
cred more than lis sticks. The Sailor
had never before been so consistently
of stride.
There was no complaint about this,
but it had the effect Of heightening
gyrnpathy for Tim Dunworth.
me point of the matter is that In the
beginning Hopfenmaier had team"
Moreover, it was one of the most dis
tinctiye teams in the history Of the
sport, and one that might far better
serve his purpose than a mere couec-
ton Of stars. half dozen aH-star
teams could be formed, but there Is only
one lineup available such as McAlWee
handed over.
with all due respect to Campbell and
; Rosenberg, in this instance they DO not
belong"
n psENBERG is bent upon keeping
X his title as champion Of the Camp
week from tomorrow. Last night Make
shot 422, when his team, Northeast
Temple, whitewashed Rendezvous, in
the District League, on the Temple
drives.
It was Rosenberg's second 400 set Of
the season. His scores were 1877, 164
and 121.
The victory gave Northeast Temple a
frm hold on flrst place.
Tommy Tucker of the Cubs hung UP
n new seasons record for the Recreation
League with a set Of 406, topping by 3
sticks the previous mark made by Joe
Overend. fuckers strings were IA,
40 and 142.
Gino Simi's Italian A1l-Stars have
taken q franchise in the Recreation
League vacated by the Book OF Wash
4ngton, which found the pace too hot.
Simi's team took a 2-to-1 beating from
Lo-Ko Service as a starter.
Colonial Ice Cream bowlers, one stick
TO the good, win finish 10-game series
tonight at the Recreation with the
Hyattsville Stars. In the f1rst nVe
games, rolled at Hyattsville, both teams
totaled better than 1880. The Cream

League.
Plans for match tonight at Conven-
ton Hall between the National Pale
Drys and team selected by Norman
Schroth fell through.
