BY BYLAST-BOX SPARE
Makes Perfect Hit for 9-Pin
Count and 679 Record
In Stars Tourney.
BY FRANCIS z. STAN.

bons are waving trlum-
~ phantly over the Nations S
Capital today, but a quiet,
unaSSuming chap who wasn't
chosen to battle the bowling
monitors from the North was the
savior of Washington's bowling
prestige last night.
Connecticut has its great Nick
Tronsky, its colorful Jack White
and it's two new world duckpin
records, but Washington has its
Carroll Daily, as game bowler as
ever stepped on the mapleways,
and isn't willing to trade.
While the Districts best, Astor
Clarke, Max Rosenberg, Brad Mandley
ct al. acknowledged defeat on the low
er floor Of the giant Lucky Strike, Car
roll DAILY, the two-often overlooked
member Of the Lucky Strike team,
smashed out on the floor above 679
score for five games and in doing so
gave an exhibition of nerve control
that thrilled to the marrow, to pale
several unprecedented feats accom-
plished by leading members OF one OF
the greatest aggregations OF duckph
shooters Of all time.
TT was star bowler whose voice pene-
i trated a momentary silence as Car
rol DAILY poised for shot that would
mean permanent recognition OF all that
q man needs and there was none 10
doubt that stars sincerity when he
cried: "Whew, what a spot I'm GLAD
I'm not shooting that spare"
There wasn't a handful OF persons
present to watch DAILY roll his first
three games in The Stars annual sin
giles tournament When he finished
his first three strings with 397, then
the fourth with $40, the eyes and voices
of scores Of spectators were centered at
DAILY. A crecendo Of sound arose as
Carroll, faced with necessity OF get
ting 18 pins in his last box of the final
frame. arose for final effort.
TOR a moment when his ball missed
L the head pin and struck No. 6,
leaving him a three-pin spare break,
1t appeared as though the pandemonium
had had its effect. But DAILY seemed
to shake himself together, forget the
yelling, sympathizing crowd, and with
the GOODNESS of a super athlete, sent the
trio Of sticks crashing. He was out OF
the "frying pan" But he was into the
fire. He needed eight sticks to beat
Max Rosenbergs SIT and to get eight
sticks on his first ball meant well
nigh perfectly placed hit.
The coolest person in the Lucky
Strike at the moment, judging from
action. was Carroll DAILY. His hit was
perfect for q nine-pin count and today
he is out in front with a grand total Of
679.
National titles and large sums of
money have been won on pinch bowl
ing, but Daly's 19-pin count in his last
box. when The Star championship and
first prize was at stake, probably will
BE- remembered by every person in that
frenzied crowd as one of the gamest
acts ever witnessed on a bowling drive.
Daily started with 126 and then rolled
1913, lab. 143 and 139 to register not
only the highest score Of any Star
Tourney, but the highest five-game set
Of the year in Washington.
Strangely enough, Days super bowl
ing was rivaled by a fellowworker Of
a well known adding machine company,
Ray Ward.
Ray put together strings of 1877, 119,
153, 120 and 12l for a $50 set
A BE BEAVERS, Recreation League
"A pinman, rose to make a great big
for the lead after a poor start
when he shot 90. 148, 1877, 155 and
145 for a 671 score. Beavers lost when
he cut out two pins on a double-header
strike in his eighth and ninth boxes.
Chester Bid and Evelyn Ream were
other high scorers last night, Chester
rolling 624 to place in the money in
the mems class and Mrs. Ream shoot
ing 343 to place second in the girls
division.
Mrs. Ream wound up with a 1913
string after shooting 104 and Ill.
Allan r. King, the youth who rolled
q quadruple strike while compiling his
1872 game Tuesday night, will receive
o Worumbo overcoat for his feat, do
mated by Fred Pelzman.
While an overcoat was only to be
awarded for a quadruple strike made
In league competition, Pelzman last
night notified King that his remark
able achievement in The Star tourney
would be counted.
Competition in The Star tourney
will not be resumed until Saturday,
when the event is wound up. While
Daily is considered to be more or less
safely ensconced in first place with his
sensational 679, there is a good chance
that the leading womans score Of 355,
rolled by Margaret Brunelle, will be
beaten.
