Also on Program Tonight.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN.

~ ORE than $50 bowlers, headed
~ II by two famous stars of days
tt gone by, Harry Krauss and
Harry HALEY, will open the
second and final week of competition IN
The stars annual singles tournament
at the Lucky Strike tonight.
A tough task looms before each in
dividual. For men, the score OF 646'
rolled by Paul Harrison on the opening
night, will be the mark to shoot at.
Girls will have 355, Margaret Brunelles
total, to beat.
Despite the absence of ranking star
boWlers in both classes, the field tonight
is capable of producing new leaders.
MANY pinmen and pinwomen in that
class sometimes called average are
included among the $50, and 1t is this
class that twice in previous Star tour
neys has produced surprise winners.
TWO other bowling attractions, at the
Arcadia and Rendezvous, also are
listed tonight Farther up Four
teenth street from the Lucky Strike
John S. Blick will begin his annual Dub
Sweepstakes for boWlers with averages
under 100. Tonight three games Will
be rolled. The event will continue to-
morrow at the Columbia and wind up
Wednesday at Convention Hall.
A bit farther up Fourteenth street
from the Arcadia Tad Howard will in
augurate the first annual Rendezvous
Handicap Sweepstakes. This event is
divided into two sections, A and B. Sec
ton A, including boWlers with averages
over LOG, will roll tonight. The maxi
mum handicap will be Is sticks. Five
games will comprise each section, the
second of B to be held Wednesday.
It will resemble family reunion in
the $50 squad tonight in The Star
tourney. Among the 80-odd bowlers to
roll will be the seven Donaldson broth
ers, all of the Odd Fellows League. In
fact, large percentage of the bowlers
in that squad shoot in the Odd Fellows
League.
At s:15 o'clock both girls and men
will roll. The women'S contingent is
headed by delegation from Mount
Rainier. The mems squad at 8:l5 o'clock
has been drafted mainly from the
Recreation League and alleys.
Joe Toomey, who many contend has
the fastest ball on the alleys, Will whale
that "fireball" at 10 o'clock. Many a
pinboy breathes a sigh of relief when
Joe is finished bowling.
Harry Krauss and Pop" HALEY, who
were teammates back in the days when
most of the present-day stars were run
ming around in rompers, will be interest
ing figures tonight. Although neither
rolls regularly now, don't be surprised If
they step out and hang up a real score.
The night promises to be busy one
for the Tournament Committee. Not
only will it have to be on the job keep
ing track of the seven DonaldSons'
scores, but will have. among others, the
four Crawleys of Mount Rainier to
worry about.
Bronson Quaites, who advocated be-
fore the tournament the same number
of games for women as for men, will be
threat to become one of the prize
winners tonight. Bronson has done
well in the Washington Women's League.
THAT singles match Wednesday be-
i tween Astor Clarke and either
Jack white or Nick Tronsky of
the Connecticut Blue Ribbons likely
will steal the show when the Ribbons
and the National Pale Drys clash in
singles, doubles and the team match.
Clarke's sensational performances
since winning the Howard Campbell
Sweepstakes last year have won him
many admirers, who think the Vir-
ginian is second to none in the country.
Washington boWlers registered four
more victories Saturday over Baltimore
pinmen. Superiority Of the local pin
