Bowling Gossip

w YHEN Lew Hopfenmaier broke
M up a bowling club that had
v proved itself the best in
severa, years, far superior to
any other in the Cistrict and sec@N d
nationally only TO the crack Connecti-
cut Blue Ribbons, many were of the
opinion that Hopfenmaier didn't know
when he had a good thing. His 1930-31
Pale Drys went down as a great pin
team.
Today Hopfenmaier's 1892 team
promises to go down as better team.
T asst seasons Pale Dry outfit did not
~ compete in league. 1t rolled
only in special big-money matches
and proved a veritable mint for its
hackers.
This seasons team, with only two OF
The six members original Drys, already
has broken no less than eight all-time
National Capital League first-series
records.
ALL of the six Pale Drys have aver
"A ages over 120. Jack Wolsten-
holmes 1909 is the lowest. That
record No. ].
Another and perhaps the most SEN
sational mark Is Astor Clarke's. Clarke
with an average of 127-l1, not only
has smashed the all-time National
Capital League record, but is the high
average man of the city. That's rec
ord No, 2.
Record No. 3 is the 61o team game
average of the Drys. No. 4 is their
strike and spare total, 100 and 404, re-
spectively.
The fifth mark is Astor Clarke's high
individual game of 1871. The sixth is
the / 956 set rolled by the Drys in their
first match of the season. Record No
7 is that OF the 81 games rolled Is
have been over 600. And to wind up
all this record d-breaking business, the
Pale Drys have rolled five 1900 sets.
CCARCELY an echo of the buzz OF
y opinion expressed early this season
on what the raising of the cutters
would mean in the way of higher
scores has been heard till now.
Now, with the first series over in
most of the leagues, it Is breaking out
anew.
1t is almost impossible to make q
real comparison of the difference be-
tween averages, but probably the best
way to attempt the task is to take the
District League first-series averages OF
this season and last.
The District League, representing the
peak of local bowling skill and its
teams distributed over 10 leading alleys,
shows that each team averages six
more pins this season than last.
Last years team average was $50.
This season it has been 572.

MAD TRUMP TAKES

braved the inclement weather

Whitney's Mad Trump raced n
mile and one-sixteenth over a slow
track in :48 to win the tenth running
of the Endurance Handicap and pay
$24.6O on a 50 pari-mutuel.
The colts triumph, which was a
head over C. Harvey Fierces War
Plane, netted his young New York
owner a purse of $12,550.
A nose back of the two leaders came
the Brandon Stables Brandon Mint,
who, in turn, led the Iona Stables On
Post, the favorite. by length. The lat
ter had a rough journey, and was used
up forcing the pace. He tired badly
in the stretch run.
The start found the field of eight
leaving in alignment. There was con-
siderable humping and crowding as they
fought for positions at the first turn,
where Ladino was holding sway over
On Post and Mad Trump.
Ladino and On Post ran heads apart
into the back lane, with Pete Walls
showing the favorite along at fast clip
in an effort to get to the front. Eddie
Walters was working just as hard to
hold the lead with Ladino, and the
killing pace was taking its toll of the
two leaders as they swung around the
far turn.
In the meantime Robertson had been
smuggling Mad Trump back in fourth
position, with Bejshak having War
Plane close to the ultimate winner S
heels.
Turning for home. On Post had forged
to the front, but went wide, allowing
Robertson to ease through on the rail
with Mad Frump. The latter responded
nobly to Robertson'S urging and soon
raced by On Post.
There was a shout from the crowd as
War Plane started picking up his field,
and he passed all but Mad Trump at the
sixteenth pole.
1t was a thrilling battle right down
to the pay-off line.

NEW YORK, July 25. tU.P)-The
one big conversational subject
among United States sports follow
ers has nothing to do with the Da-
Wis cup challenge round, the major
league baseball races, or the validity
of Max Schmeling's claim on the
worlds heavyweight Championship.
1t does concern the new United
States balloon golf ball.
This new ball, Which is lighter
and larger than the one in use last
season, is the object of several mag
azine and newspaper crusades. It
has replaced prohibition well. part
of the time at leasD as locker
room argument.
Most of the opinions voiced and
printed are to the effect that the
new ball is menace, result OF
an unfair bit of sports official leg
islation, a conspiracy and a thor
oughgoing nuisance.
Occasionally one finds sta
player who will come out with the
opinion that it's better ball. Ano
also there's a dub like this writer

is in vogue, or who believes the new
one is at least as good as the old.
But, as pointed out above, the
weight of the discussions arr

again in this writer's opinion, hatt

A chief reason for the official fa-

Lethargy in the stock market was
