NUTMEGGERS
F.. SEEK MORE
MATCHES
BY GINo SINH

Ribbons, kings Of New England
duckpin drives, are here loaded
for bear. They arrived late last
night.
Their match with Lewis Hop
fenmaier's National Pale Dry out
fit at the Lucky Strike alleys this
afternoon and evening is only an
incidental item in their itinerary
Frank Barber, pilot of the Nut
meggerS, is casting around local
circles for q couple of matches to
while away tomorrow afternoon
and evening.
It is likely that Howard Camp
bell will trot out his Washington
All-StarS who recently broke sew
eral records, for a fuss with
them. If Campbell fails, Roscoe
Reichard may bring his Hecht
Co. All-StarS into action.
A third team who may toe the
line against the invaders, will be
Red Megaw Temple All-Stars.
Then there is the Original Wash
ington Juniors.
One thing is certain, Barber
will be accommodated and how.
In the meantime, everything
is ship-shape at the Lucky Strike
for the big intercity scuffle.
Single and doubles will be rolled
this afternoon. starting at 2:3O
O'Clock. The team match is to-
night at 8 o'clock.
Stall on Singles Choice
Both Barber and Hopfenmaier
are stallir., regarding naming
their singles nominee Louie is
undecided whether to shoot Astor
Clarke or Brad Mandley against
Barber's selection.
It is almost certain that the
ConnecticutS will have to depend
on Nick TronSky. Jack White
is not in top form. .,..
But Barber is not anxious to
send any of his boys against
Mandley, recalling his repeated
triumphs over Tronsky and other
New England aces at the time OF
Genlot Sweepstakes last year.
Two singles matches may be ar
ranged to straighten matters out.
Make Rosenberg and Joe Har
rison have been definitely named
as the D. c. doubles representa-
tive, but here. again. Barber is
cagey. Joe Gacek and Tronsky
are likely to be his choice. Both
click well as a team. having
turned back many Of the coun-
try's best doubles.
Rosenberg in Top Form
Rosenberg and Harrison are IN
great shape. They went through
a dozen practice sessions Monday
against Astor Clarke and Ollie
Pacini. and both teams averaged
over 26O per. game. Rosenberg
is in the greatest condition OF
his life. His SIT set in the Star
tournament proves it.
Hopfenmaier does not expect to
use Mandley in the team match,
figuring on starting Clarke,
Johnny Anderson, Joe Harrison,
Jack WolStenholme, and Make
Rosenberg in that order. Should
any of them falter, he will slip
Mandley into the fray.
Barber, who never heSitates to
yank a man at any time during
matches, is expected to begin with
the same team which already
holds several victories over Wash
ingtonians: Tronsky at lead-off
Joe Gacek, Mike Bogino, Bill
Tato, and Jack White, with Carl
FriSk. Fred DugaS, and a new
conner to intercity competition
G.. Lacombe, in reserve.
The NutmeggerS are to meet
the Poehlman All-Stars at Balti-
