BIG Pin CLASH
To SETTLE
QUESTION
By GINO SINH

A bowling question Of long
standing will be partly answered
by the results Of Wasaington's
first special duckpin match Of
Importance Of the season when
Temple, District League leaders,
hook up with the National Tale
Drys, National Capital pace-set-
ters, with the opening block at
Temple Saturday.
The long-mooted question is, is
the National Capital League as
strong as the District? Both teams
are heading their respective pre-
cincts, and both have faced the
best in each league and come of
on top in q big way.
LOng.Awaited
It also eliminates an ambi-
ton of many years, the attempt
to bring the leaders Of the two
major duckpin loops within the
city limits. Somehow, though a
match between the champions Of
these two leagues has been a
natural" since both leagues have
been organized, it has never ma
terialized.
The news Of the match
spread like wild fire among
the duckpin fans last night and
SPECTATOR space win be at
premium Saturday afternoon.
TIL match is scheduled to
start at $3.50 o'clock.
There is plenty of rabid fol.
lowers of both teams, and
green-backs are being displayed
both ways, while the merits and
demerits Of both teams are
grounds for many heated argu-
mcntS.
Northeast Washington is solidly
behind Red" Megaw and mis-
crew Of maple-poppers.
Plenty Powerful
They can't see any combination
which can take the measure Of
such a Offering lineup as Ollie
Pacini, No. bowler of the city
last year, Glenn Wolstenholme
one of the greatest "mazuma
shooters in history, Ed Blakeney,
Baltimore'S mightiest duckpinner
when "its on the line" and Red
Megaw, whose Scotch blood
simply will not permit him TO
even think # paying out hard
earned coins. There's four of
the very best. all tried in the
stiffest competition.
While George Honey, Chester
Bid and "Chief'' LOvett are no.
bOdy's pushOvers, each has
tanned his share Of tOp-rung per-
formers.
But Lewis Hupfenmaier's gang
has its flock Of loyal rooters.
From 1ead-off to anchor his team
Is poison"
AS a sample of the power Of his
crew, Brad Mandley, one Of the
greatest bowlers Of all times, Is
only a substitute.
The regulars are Make RoSen-
berg. 1890 Campbell winner; Astor
Clarke, 1881 Campbell winner and
now toting a 1870 average with the
team; Jack VOLS n h o m e,
Johnny Anderson and Joe Harri-
son. all Of whom can wallop the
naples reSoundingly.
Who will win? A neutral spec
tator can't say. Only come early
If you expect to see the match
Saturday.
Last night was hard on lead
ers. While Temple was dropping
two to a hard-hitting Convention
Hall crew in the District League,
Takoma Park manhandled the
Farnan's Bowling Shoes, last week
tied for the National Capital
League lead with Pale Drys, tax
ing three games.
The TakomaS were hot, while
Mag Wood seemed to have kept
his boys in a frigidaire. McDon-
AIDS 383 and Sherbahn'S 381 were
the big socks as the Parkers fin
ished the slaughter with 634.
al Fischer'S 372 was the only
notable score for the Shoes.
Temple lost one Of its two
games to the Convention Hall
kids on a roll-off, after Pacini had
counted nine on a spare to tie the
game at 588 each. It was the
first set Temple dropped this year.
Paul Jarman and Jack Ulrich
were the "cut-ups" in the Business
Mems League last night. Jarman
had q Alb and Ulrich 400. Be-
tween them they accounted for
q 1,748 set for C. & P. Telephone.
