for several shifts, the first to get
underway as soon after z O'Clock
as possible. The final squad will
go on the drives at about 10:30,
to accommodate bowlers who are
rolling in leagues earlier in the
evening. A group will roll at 8:15
and another at 9:15, thus giving
everybody a chance to roll. The
same arrangement will be made
at Temple next Tuesday.
Entries will be accepted UP to
the time the last squad is sched-
uled. Cutting the fee to only
SO, including the price of games,
has materially increased the num-
Der of entries Many average
bowlerS have entered because the
financial outlay is we'll within
their reach.
AS the zero hour for the novel
test comes on, the argument
shifts to the probable winning
score and the pins which will be
the most troublesome.
Pop" HALEY, grand old man
Of duck pins" believes that the
winning score for the 200 pins
will be either ITO or I'll. How

nual bowling classic, is quite GER
tain that the winner will aggre-
gate better than 1875.

Harry KrauSS, termed the
greatest bowler the District ever
produced, in both the big and
little pins, is inclined to believe
that the score will be between
165 and ITO.
Ole Pacini claims it will be be-
tween ITS and 18O. Red Megam,
Tony Santini and several other
stars agree with his estimate.
Make Rosenberg picks ITO as his
number. Lonnie KrausS, a prog
nosticator of the first water,
could not be reached for his
opinion.
In the meantime stories Of past
single-pin tournaments continue
to bob up. Eddie Krieger won
the biggest and most widely ad-
vertised 20 years ago with SO hits
out of 100.
Freddie Moore recalls that Joe
Toomey won a 5O-pin test with a
score of 81 back in 1921. Joe was
deadly on single pins then.
Moore and another chap, whose
name slips Freddie's memory,
were second with 26.
Make Rosenberg remembers
"Cappy" Pratt, colorful old-timer,
since gone to the Great Beyond,
winning a 3O-pin test with a score
of 26 no more than three years
ago!
Just what score will lead the
1O0-pin block tonight is a matter
of lively interest. A majority are
convinced that it will be well up
in the 80s.
Two Tough Pins
Regarding the pins which will
be particularly tough. No. 7 and
No. 10 are the most prominent
candidates. Both are tough for
star and dub" alike and both are
expected to be left standing often.
The bowler who can topple these
two pins consistently will be fav-
ored to win.
From entries received and
promises made, every leading
league in the city will have a
strong delegation.
Tommy Walker expects many of
the participators in the Maryland
Virginia Sweepstakes to be among
the entries. especially the leaders,
as it will be an excellent chance
to get their eye on the pins for
the final block at RoSslyn tomor-
row night.
The leaders of the Dub
Sweepstakes are also expected to
be among the starters for the
same reason. Howard Campbell,
Make Rosenberg, Jack Whalen,
Brad Mandley, Oil Pacini, who
are trekking northward as the
Washington All-Stars to face the
Connecticut Blue Ribbons April
II, figure the tournament as a
chance for a lot of valuable prac.
tice at hitting the object pin of a
break.
A great majority of the high.
average men in the various
leagues, particularly those closely
pressed by eager rivals, are roll.
ing for workout preparatory to
a final assault.
Shooting a 200 single pins
on two different nights will do
more to improve your game in
accuracy and steadineSs than
200 games Of regular duckpins,"
is the way many of them put 1t.
And that will account for many
entries. Many a dub" or near
star regards the test as a chance
to get in practice which will make
him a better shooter.
The winner will be generously
rewarded for his efforts. He will
receive a gold medal and a cash
prize of $25. or more. There viii
