The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-04-09


 At the same time hc picks Astor Clarke winner of the Howard Camp bell sweepstakes and Bradley Mand- ley, runner up in the national sweepstakes as two who are liable 10 dispute his right away. Right here in Connecticut we have a few bowlers too that may offer some op- position to the championship aspira- ton of the Washington trio men fi0ned. Not so far away Is Provi- dence, Rhode Island and In this town particularly they have some good bowlers too. Strange to say, Bill Stenberg, second ranking bowler in the country, comes from there. and he has three companions, Louis Catelli. Ernie Rylander, and Charlie Mena whose names are prominent in the New England section of the an- nuai record book. It is just possi- b1e that they may have something to say and do about retarding the progress of the Washington trio. Boston, too, may have something to say in the matter. Red Mfllar. Al sre1i and Archie Walsh, have not ex- actiy retired from the game. and probably have not deteriorated very much since they trimmed the Blue Ribbons in Waterbury couple of months ago. What strange thing 1t would be if neither one of the three Washington stars failed to place. Stranger things have hap ,pened. A glimpse over the partial list of Who's Who in the forthcom- ing affair suggest that thee will be ample competition ana the winner win have to better the scores made in either the national, Howard Campbell, or suburban sweepstakes.
