STAR STRIVES
To RETAIN
RATING
BY GINO SINH


''Hey," pipes Tommy Walker,
liyewire factOtum Of the Mary
land. Virginia bowling circles.
els there q conspiracy on foot
to bIack-Out Henry HiSer in
this talk Of high averages?"
Henry, No. D. c. bowler
last year, and rated No. 2 in the
United State, is shcing down the
naples for a 1875 average in the
Maryland Virginia -Subur b n
League, according to Tommy. All
his sets were rolled on different
drives.
This. he insists, is a more meri'
torious achievement than either
Astor Clarke's 100 on one set OF
alleys, or Red" Megaw's 125 IN
the District League.
Would Retain Rating
Henry is out to retain his No
I rating among local bowlers,
and isn't going to be side-tracked
He hasn't been going so hot
In the District League, where ne
averaged 121 last year. He has
slightly better than 1T, but
Bre'r Henry is going to improve
that much pronto. With this
end in mind, last week he In
serted a 1872 set in the proceed
ingS.
Henry compiled his 1876 aver
are in the Suburban League with
q high set Of 422, and several
3S0s.
Tommy also takes exception
to an obvious attempt to keep
major rating from his Mary
land-Virginia League. 1t is
second only in ranking and
brilliance to the District
League, Tommy insists, and 1t
is one of the leading circuit
loops in the country.
Two of the top-notchers Of
last year rolled in this league,
Henry Hiser and Astor Clarke,
and both had plenty of compe-
tition all the way. All the teams
glitter with high talent.
Joe Callan and oscar Swain
are trailing Henry with 100 av-
erages apiece. Swain owes his
giddy pace to a tremendous 44O
set rolled two weeks ago.
Catherine Hiser Shines
Henry is not the only Hiser
who is doing things in the duck
pin world.
Catherine Hiser flashed to the
fore in the B. Y. P. U. Girls
League with 332 set, which
gave the Hyattsville No. 2 team
a clean sweep over its sister,
Hyattsville No. l, and also a SIG
game and 1882 set, the latter a
real achievement in this league.
w. Hiser and M. Berrett helped
Catherine with a 315 and a 325
set, respectively. Still another
Hiser, Harriet, bowls on the team.
AStOr Clarke stretched his
13O average to include 1S
games, rolling a 396 set last,
piled up mainly through a 181 3
shot,. as the Pale Drys white
washed Young and Simon to
take the undiSputed lead in
the National Capital League.
Make Rosenberg also was in
rare form, handing in 406, with
games Of 149, 127 and 100. The
team shot 1880 with games of
504, 665 and 631. Clarke's 181 is
q league record.
The Typothetae League rollers
chalked up nifty totals with
Heinzman's 357, Leigh's 354, and
the latter's lat game, topping
the list. Anderson's 800 was best
in the General Counsel League.
Make Rosenberg and Henry
HiSer have scornful opinion of
each other as bowlers, and to-
night these two face when Hyats-
vile invades the Recreation alleys
to meet Hecht Co. in the District
League and fur will fly. The feel
ing that exists between Make
and Brer Henry is shared by
their teammates. Needless to say,
both teams look for, a clean
sweep.
Charley Warren, tongue in
cheek, is trotting his Nativity
maple-walloperS over to George
town to take the measure of the
high-falutin' Trinity bunch in a
Holy Name Society League match
the Trinitys have been toppling
everything before them. Charley
is going to be short of his ace,
Bobby RebholtZ, but is banking
heavily on Frank GrasSo'S trickle
ball to carry the day. Holy Rosary
