~ NE of the finest pennant
triumphS in the long his
" tory of the District Duck
pin League, probably the
strongest circuit of its kind in the
country, appears at hand for Tad
Towards Rendezvous team.
Tonight at the Lucky Strike,
Rendezvous and Meyer Davis are
to clash in a postponed match
that will close the season, and the
Rendezvous sharpshooters need
win only one game to dethrone
the King Pins, who have ruled for
two years.
The King Pins were an unhappy lot
today. They lost three games last night
when a clean sweep victory would have
assured them of third straight title.
That they should have lost was painful.
That their conquerors should be the
Northeast Templates their keenest foe
men, was salt in the wound. But per-
haps most potent with misery was the
fact that Howard Campbell's long dis
tinguished lineup of himself, Glenn
and Jack Wolstenholme, Bernie Frye
and Glen Weidman shot their poorest
set of the season in their most vital
ngagement-1, 627. The scores were
538 to sci, 606 to 576 and 562 to $50.
There were no exceptional individual
scores, Paul Harrison of Temple topping
the lot with a set of $50. The match
was rolled at the Temple.
n ENDEzvoUs has fought an uphill
N battle. Until the last month of
the campaign it was not considered
seriously as a pennant contender. The
King Pin, Northeast Temple and
Hyattsville teams had been the leaders
most of the way. But one after another
these cracked and Rendezvous piled up
victory after victory. The regulars were
Mag Wood, captain; Carroll Daily. AL
Work, Red Morgan and Jack Walen,
the latter joining the team in midseason.
The Meyer Davis team would have
little to gain, for itself, by winning
tonight, but Joe McGolrick, Freddie
Moore and their mates will have
sentimental urge to conquer. They'll be
in there battling for Bill Wood, bowl
ing promoter and sponsor of both the
Meyer Davis and King Pin teams.
Keep the pennant in the family" Is
their battle cry.
