Michaud Sharp Shooter
The wrangle as to who is the
best single pin shooter in the
city, at each bowling plant, in
each league, on each team is,
continues merrily!
Down at the Recreation
League, one of the fastest in
the city, Old Joe Michaud, who
has been spilling duckpins back
y0nder in the Mauve Decade,
Is looked upon as about the
best in town, on singles! pop"
PeSSagnO is another old-timer
with a keen eye!
In Georgetown they have sew
eral fellows who think they are
the "cats" toppling single pins,
Sam Corcoran, George Bradt DAVE
Burrows, and Sam Benson, being
particularly outstanding!
Red Morgan, National Capital
League high-average man, is a
chap who misses the lone pin on
rare occasions. The writer had
occasion to witness an exhibition
Of sharp-shooting by the Rendez-
vous ace about two weeks ago
in a match with Jack O'Lindy,
Boston star. Morgan was making
singles, located anywhere on the
alley, with machine-like regularity
with both his second and third
ball. He must have made 10 OF
'em without missing a one.
Bernie Frye. whose wood-getting
tactics make him very desirable
addition to any bowling team, is
another chap who can draw q
bead on a single with uncanny
frequency. Henry Hiser, District
League leader, can shoot singles
with the best of them, as can
Astor Clarke.

both of whom have practically
the same powerful delivery, a
straight ball, are deadly single

son, AL Work, Mag Wood, Car
roll DAILY and Johnny Anderson
seldom leave the solitary pin
behind.
Practically all the old timers
are "bearcats" at making singles.
Years and years of constant
shooting has created such an ex-
cellent coordination of mind and
muscle. that the old boys just
toss the pill down the alleys
and turn their backs.
There are many number OF
bowlers not among the mighty
stars Of the game who are dead
shots on singles. Abe Beavers,
Burt He'll, Hyrnie Schecter, Leo
De Rosa Sam Del Vecch1o,
George Morrison, Ralph Nc

There are many great single
pin shooters in the Federal

and all have a chance to cop
money and a handsome trophy
in the Washington Times single
pin tournament.
