| NV and Mabel Shaw of Bal
| ' V timore are showing folk
at the Arcadia tonight
some OF the stuff that went into
the making of a national doubles
record a contest will be in prog
ress across the way at the Column
bia in which their mark may be
surpassed.
The Baltimore maidens will be
engaged with the Recreation team
in a match with the John Blicks,
a doubles bout between them and
Elsie Fischer and Lucy Owen to be
a side attraction.
At the Columbia, Rena Levy, reputed
to be the best girl southpaw pinshooter
of all time, will pair with Catherine
QUICKLY against Marjorie Bradt Smith,
holder Of the national nine-game record
and champion of the Bill Wood Sweep
stakes, and Marie Frere Whalen, who
shared with Marjorie two years ago in
the National Duckptn Bowling Congress
doubles title.
Action viii start at both places at
1880 o'clock.
COME bowling fans will be hard put
~ to make a choice between the two
attractions. 1t is an interesting CO.
incidence that within a half-block of
each other the two most famous girl
duos be showing at the same time. In
shooting five-game set of 1,1S5 re-
Gently, the Baltimore maids beat by only
nine pins the previous record set up
three years ago by the Whalen-S Smith
combination. AS part of the same per-.
Torrance, Holiday and Shaw, with a
total Of 700, established a three-game
record. This, too. paled the glory of
Whalen and Smith, whose $50 in the
nat onal tournament of 1929 had been
high.
Marjorie and Marie hope to get back
on top tonight, but are thinking less of
records than of conquest. Ever since
the pair came into prominence several
years ago their supremacy has been
disputed and particularly by the ad-
mirers OF the Levy Quigley combina-
ton. If you like dash of personal
rivalry Ill your bowling BATHS, this one
is made to order.
WITH the girls from Baltimore hold
w ing the spotlight not many spec
tators will be present for the con-
test between the John Blick and Boule-
ward M1dgetS at the Arcadia, but they
won't mind. Give these fieaweights q
couple OF drives and they're sufficient
unto themselves.
Al Fischer and Billie Butler will team
against Charley Watson and Anne hi
Vecchio in match tonight on the Silver |
Spring drives.
Bowling promoters say they are 10 |
per cent short of normal receipts this |
season but gaining steadily. A giant +
downtown establishment, to materialize |
within the next year or two, is a dream |
OF several. 1t may become a race.
Happiest of bowling investors at this |
time are Convention Hall stockholders |
Until 1t was known definitely that Gem |

occupies the first floor of the hall, de- |

One of the best games of the season
was rolled recently by Sarah Updike
OF the Hilltop team in the Washington
Ladies. League, although her score was
only lot. She made only one mark. an
eight-pin spare in thu sixth frame, but
lost only one stick, this In the third
box.
CTAR bowlers viii tell you it's much
- easier on occasions to shoot 40
than 20; dependtnE on how the
sticks are breaking. Two accurate
.hots win produce 3 spare. but souae- !
