TOMORROW
BY GRO SINH

By GnNO SINH
Except for Saturday a week,
tomorrow will be one OF the
busiest and most colorful Satur'
days in duckpin history.
Two events, which alone would
be major attractions, will be
launched. The Meyer Davis Sweep
stakes in which the women's title
of the District will be in jeopardy
at the Lucky Strike, and the
Greater Washington Handicap
Sweepstakes, at the Columbia.
Both will draw a heavy allotment
Of participants and spectators.
This is the fourth year for the
girls classic, and about 40 OF them
are set to do their derndest to
succeed Marjorie Bradt Smith as
champion, and beat out Lorraine
GULL, aptly described as the queen
Of the maplewayS.
While GULL is the reigning fav-
orite, the fact that she only won
one major title out OF seven IN
which she competed last year,
coupled with the fact that Mar
lorie Smith topped her in the
classic event, is causing the ex'
uerts to make a few reservations.
Marjorie Smith will be back IN
running, and with such crack
special rollers like Pauline Ford,
Bess Ackman, Elsie Fischer, Mar
garet Miltner, Eva GUIDE, Rena
Levy, Billie Butler, Lucy Owens as
contenders, the event is wide open.
Experts Silent
Bold as some Of the prognosti-
Gators are none dare hint at
Who might win the Greater
washington affair, in which
bowlers averaging ITO or less
will take part:
Many a potent name is listed
Among the entries. Among them
Tommy Walker, George Friend.
sole Joe" Michaud, but, with a
handicap lending an added ele-
ment of uncertainty and close
to 200 men of little known cali
ber facing the firing lines, no
definite conclusions can be
drawn.
Entries for both of these
events will be accepted up to
starting time Saturday night.
An afternoon shift has been ar
ranged for the Greater Wash
ington test and those wishing
to roll in that squad are urged
to. get in touch with Lonn1e

Outdrawing the two sweep
stakes in interest from the fans
views will be the finish Of the
match between Temple and the
washington Juniors, at the Ar
cadia, starting at $3.50. Temple
is leading by 81 pins. The
Juniors are all set to take Red
Megaw's veterans over the
bumps and then go after bigger
game.

evening will be the head-to-head
clash between Henry Hiser,
Bethesda's great Whataman,
