Dixie Tournament Calls for
Fifteen Games Rolled
on Same Day.
BY FRANCIS e. STAN.

A THREE-RING bowling circus.
" headlined by the first annual
~ Dixie Sweepstakes, which is ex-
pected to draw around 30 Of the
ountrys foremost duckpin stars, will
ompose the most extensive pin pro-
ram of the year tomorrow.
Running mates of the Dixie Stakes
omorrow will be the fourth annual
'omen's bowling classic, the Meyer
)aviS Sweepstakes, and the first annual
freater Washington Handicap Sweep
takes.
A brand-new event, the Dixie Sweep
takes, which will begin tomorrow at
0:30 am at the Arcadia, continue at
80 pm at the Lucky Strike and wind
lip at pm. at Convention Hall, prom
ses not only to be one of the most
ttractive events of the season but also
ne of the stiffest tests yet offered to
tar bowlers.
The event is the first Of its kind to
We presented. All Is games will be
olled tomorrow, en- the same order as
he National Sweepstakes, but three
different sets of alleys will be used.
Several OF Baltimore's crack pinmen
will journey here for the big battle
which will be second only to the Ma
ional Sweepstakes in point Of rich
1ess-as well as several other out-of-
own pinmen hailing from New Eng
and and the South.
WITH Margaret Leaman out in front
w by virtue of her ISL set last
Saturday, 20 girls seeking the
Meyer Davis Sweepstakes title and cash
tonight will roll the second three-game
block at the King Pin.
Close behind Miss Leaman is Pauline
Ford, United States girl all-events
champion, who has 346; Madeline
Burke, who rolled 344 last week, and
Elsie Fischer, United States doubles
champion, who has 341.
The girl stars will begin tonight's
Sc, at c'clcck and next Saturday will
wind up the big event at the Lucky
Strike. @t
CIXTY bowlers, with averages ITO and
- under, will go into the second five
game block tonight in the Greater
Washington Handicap Sweepstakes at
the Arcadia.
Roscoe Reichard, aided by a 200-pin
handicap, took the lead last Saturday
at the Columbia when he rolled a SIG
set, but his work will be cut out for
him tomorrow and next Saturday when
the event winds up at Convention Hall.
Reichard and the rest of the field
were awarded their full handicap for
the Is games last week and from now
On will have to shoot from scratch.
HOWARD Campbell, one of the
i / greatest duckpin bowlers of all
time, still has been unable to gain
bis true stride, but the redoubtable
Lucky Strike captain entertains high
hopes of placing in the Dixie Stakes
tomorrow.
Always a money bowler" Campbell,
who voluntarily removed himself from
his customary position on the Lucky
Strike team, is regarded by many as
a real threat to win the classic despite
his poor showing this year.
HOKIE SMITH, leading the District
i i League bowlers this season, and
Henry Hiser, No. l ranking Dis
trict pinman last year and holder of
the high average record in Washing
tons major league, tonight will con-
clude their special 10-game head-to-
head match at Hiser's home alleys at
Bethesda.
Smith, a youngster who won his
way to stardom last season, assumed
q 15-pin lead over Hiser last week in the
first flve-game block at the King Pin,
but with Hiser rolling on his own
alleys, he probably will not go into
the match the favorite.
