The Washington times., 1931-03-05

one he staged for the men bat
Promoting such an event for
the ladies is a much harder task
than for the men, for the lassies
are not as numerous nor as free
as their masculine counterparts.
Girls can't go gallivanting about
the country as readily as men.
However, the dauntleSS N. D.
B. c. secretary is too busy trying
to devise ways and means of do
ing things, to worry his head
overmuch as to why a thing
can't be done.
His present work is finding out
just how many possible entries
can be gathered, and if the num-
Der will be large enough to make
the event worth while.
ALL IN ONE DAY
So far the plans call for a
15-game test, to be rolled in three
five-game blocks all in one day.
The first block at 10 o'clock, the
next at 2 and the final at 8
o'clock at night.
The tentative date is Mon
day, and the Lucky Strike al
leyS, scene of the mems ma
tiOnal classic, is name as the
likely site. The entry fee will
be SIS. This is also cOnjectural.
Washington would provide the
bulk of the entries, for the Wash
ington girls far outStrip fair bowl
ers of other cities in this paStime.
Baltimore would send plenty OF
tough opposition. Mae Schneider,
winner of the annual Baltimore
women's classic, is a certain par
ticipant. Margaret Holiday, who
is second to Lorraine Gull in
three years of National Congress
competition, is certain to be
.among those on the firing line.
Miss Holiday won the singles
title at Waterbury.
Geneva Preis, No. 4 ranking te-
male bowler of the country, and
Lotta Janowitz, ninth, are certain
to enroll. Other Baltimore beau
ties who have gained national
prominence, and who are sure to
be in an event of this kind, are
Frances Krieg, Mabel Shaw and
Betty Day.
Norfolk, within easy distance OF
Washington, has two pretty misses
who are capable performers in the
little pin pastime. Frances Wess'
man is considered the premier
bowler of the Virginia seaport.
NORFOLK HAS ACE
Mary Stapleton makes habit OF
winning Norfolk's annual women's
classic. She recently captured it
for the second time in two years
Polly DOzier, BeSSy johnson
and Louise Strathy can be de-
pended upon to see that Rich
mond will be adequately repre-
sented.
Practically all the New England
girls have already rolled in the
N. D. B. C. and returned to their
homes, so if the affair is staged
few, if any, of them would be
likely to roll. Louise Hamilton
looks like q probability.
The Taunton girls, with such
cracker-jack pinettes as Rosetta
Miller and Nellie BeardSworth,
were so disappointed over their
showing in the tournament,
coupled with the sudden illness OF
one of their best boWlerS, who had
to be shipped back before they
rolled Tuesday night. that they
returned home Immediately
Washington would have plenty
of first class talent on hand.
Margaret Miltner. Elsie Fischer,
polly Shugrue, Billie Butler, Paul
Inc Ford. Catherine Quigley. Rena
Levy, Lucille Preble. Lucy Owen.
Helena Kohler. BeSS Ackman,
virginia Yarnell, Bess Hoffman.
Marjorie Smith. are just few
Of the girls who can hold their
own with the best.
Anyway. it's a corking idea,
and Isemann is determined to
carry it out if it is at all pos
sible. George has faced more
formidable obstacles than those
which beset his present task and
triumphed.
Even should he fail to swing
the idea at present it is a safe
bet that next year the thing will
be staged successfully.
