The Howard Campbell duckpin
Sweepstakes will have rival this
year am Howard Campbell him
self may be one Of the main at
fractions in it!
The Howard Campbell sweep
stakes need no introduction to To-
cal bowling fans. For four years
they have attracted field which
included the very best duckpinners
in the city. It is the classic bowl
ing event Of Washington.
The ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Subur-
ban Duckpin Association, created
at the tail end of last season, to
promote bowling in suburban al
leys around Washington, is plan
ming to run a sweepstakes mod
elled on the same lines as the
Campbell event.
Walker Busy with Plans
Tommy Walker, motivating Spir-
it in suburban maple circles, is
behind the idea and is shaming
the well-known beavers in his anx-
iety to draw complete plans.
The toughest part of getting
down to definite details is
TOmmy's desire to avoid any
conflict with the several duck
pin attractions in Washington
listed from now till the end of
the season.
He wants to avoid interfering
with the Campbell Sweeps, the
N. D. B. C. tournament at Con-
vention Hall and the yearly VIC
o. A. tournament. Taking every
thing into account March IA, 81
and % look like free, dates, and
the affair is tentatively listed for
those dates.
The Sweeps will call for Is
games on different sets Of alleys,
similar to the Campbell Sweep
stakes. Six sets of alleys are
more likely to figure.
The entry fee will be $18, SO
less than the Campbell Sweeps,
not enough to scare off any Of the
many crack suburban maple
spillers.
Only bowlers who are bonafide
residents Of Arlington, Fairfax,
Montgomery and Prince George
counties and Alexandria or who
bowl regularly with leagues hold
ing forth on alleys in these
regions will be eligible.
Thus Howard Campbell whose
domicile is located in Silver
Spring and who also does a little
bowling in a church league out
there becomes eligible.
Isemann May Enter
The entry list will be plenty
powerful. Such recognized top
notchers as j. Henry HiSer and
his brother, Oscar, Pierce Wolfe,
Hugh Waldrop, Chet Lindstrom,
Charley Watson, Burt He'll, Bob
Harrison, Aster Clarke, Joe
Freschi, Gene Gordon are eligible.
George L. Isemann, N. ID. b.
G.. congress secretary, former
University Park champion, Is
also available. Tommy Walker
who recently gave j. Henry Hlser
q trimming, figures plenty prOml-
nently among the likely starters.
Cecil Aylor, Norman and Chet
Lilley, Fritz Pruesser are others.
About 40 entries are expected
so that the Suburban Association
officials may have to split each
block on two different plants In
the same counties because OF linn
tied alley facilities. HyattSvllle
and Mt. Rainier may be called on
to shoulder the Prince Georges
end, with Boulevard and Bethesda
getting the Montgomery slice and
RoSslyn and Clarendon dividing
the Virginia block.
Silver Spring, the biggest plant
in the suburbs, will be the site OF
the Suburban Association first
annual tournament, and, there
fore, is out of consideration.
To prove their desire to CO.
operate Fundamentally with local
organizations five-game sweep
stakes will be run off at Hyatts-
vile Saturday, the three winners
being entered in the Campbell
Sweepstakes with the money gath
cred. Fifteen bowlers are eX-
pected to participate, at SIS a
head plus price of games.
