- ECEETLY q veteran follower Of
u local sports, after watching
IN Make Rosenberg crack .es t out
and remarked.
Make used 70 play foot ball at Bus
ness High. / think previous sports ex-
perience helps in bowling. DO you?"
Not pretending to be an expert bowl
ing observer, your correspondent an.
swercd vaguely that no doubt there arc
many consistent bowlers in both classes.
those who have played base ball. foot
ball. golf. etc. and those whose sports
careers have been strictly limited to
bowling.
HOWEVER, as the question fingered
i in mind. reflections and advices
rendered by several expert obserV-
ers on the subject seemed to bring out
the belief that previous athletic ex-
perience Is q decided asset in Ciuckpins,
especially to one beginning the game.
Take, for instance, the case Of Miss
Frances Waller, second ranking girl
tennis player Of the District this sea-
SON Miss Walker. fo- the last I'VE
81
in singles and this year was No. In
doubles.
This season, her second years at
tempt in bowling. she is showing prom
ise of developing into as equally a good
bowler as tennis player. In the WASH
ington Women's League, a fast circuit
for a girl To choose for her league debut,
Miss Walker is averaging well in the
COS.
Clarence Charest and Muscoe Gar
nett are others who have won more
than one persons share Of laurels Doth
on the court and drives.
A MOTHER similar and notable case
"A TO come up this season was that
of Earl McAIeer. Earl. whose
golfng game is enviable to Q out
Of 10 followers OF the links, made his
bowling league debut last week in the
Building Contractors League.
He established two all-time league
records, shooting a game Of l6S and a
set of 400.
Earl, however, is not the first OF
Washington's more noted golfers to
make a grand splash on the mapleways.
Sam Rice, ny hawk Of the Nationals,
whose base ball ability pales his star
0olfing. can, without seriously applying
himself to the little pin game, average
lis or better.
DASE BALL, foot ball and basket ball
ID also present their share Of stars
who have become standouts in
bowling.
Henry Hiser was. and still is. one OF
the city's best known sandlot ball toss
ers. And Henry is the Nc. ranking
pinman of the District and No. ma
sam simon, Bonnie wormesley and
Joe Freschi keep Henry company.
Simon plays first base for G. p. o. and
Wormesley and Freschi do q large
amount of pitching for various local IN
dependent ball clubs.
Rosenberg is only one of the former
eridmen to make q name for himself on
the mapleways.
Basket bali can present at least one
well known bowler In Miss Reva Banks.
Miss Banks, who starred on the court
at the Harrisburg Teachers College, Va.
bowied for the first time last season, yet
she averaged 9S-46 in the District Wom-
ems League, the city's major girls cir
cult. Jim Baker, oficial scorer of the
loop, vouches her average was the
highest ever rolled by any girl here In
her first year of bowling.
And Eddie Espey will say his billiard
ability (the youngster is the District cue
chsmp.on) has not proved detrimental
to his pin game.
They all just seem to take to bowling
like ducks to water.
MAKE ROSENBERG is not setting
wi the District League afire. but he
is giving his National Pale Dry
teammate, Aston Clarke, a run for high
average in the National Capital League
