HOWLERS from New England
K will predominant tonight in
l. the national duckpin cham
pionShips at Convention
Hall, but the attention of Wash
ington fans will be glued to Max
Rosenberg and Earl McPhilomy.
Half a decade ago McPhilomy
was hailed as the greatest OF 'em
all" in the making, but illness re-
moved him from the higher ranks
Fer a time he was absent from the
mapleways. Then he bowled oc-
casionally.
He was lost sight of, when, several
days ago, he and Rosenberg, former
Campbell sweepstakes champion and
one of the top-ranking duckpin shoot
ers Of all time, CHANGED to chatter. MAX
and Earl were teammates when the
King Pin Stars established world rec
ord of 3,115 in a f1ve-game tntercity
match.
How you goin', Earl?" breezed Max.
Pretty good" said Earl.
I'm lookin' for partner In this ma
tional tournament" suggested Rosen-
berg, who could have had his choice
of the best in the game, and. to his
surprise, the supposedly defunct Nc
Philomy shot back:
You've got him."
The Earl has been averaging lib in
the Typothetae League, unobserved by
outsiders.
TACK wHALEN, long-legged assistant
manager Of the Columbia, national
sweepstakes champion and former
District League champion, shot 435 last
night to take the lead in singles in the
national tournament.
In a workout yesterday afternoon
Whalen shot 500 for f1ve games against
Burt Parsons. It probably was the most
brilliant contest of its kind. Parsons
rolled 692 Jacks high game was 155
and his lowest 90. Burt's top was 1913
and his low 1o4.
whaiens ABS is q record for the ma
tional tournament three sticks better
than the mark set last year by Jack
Otto of TorTington, Mass.
Two years ago Whalen tied Howard
Campbell of Washington for first place
in the singles with q score OF 430 and
Campbell won the roll-of.
VITHAEEN was a half inch from top
w form in the doubles and was car
ried by Red Morgan. The sorrel-
top shot 403 and Jack 344, their total
Of TAT putting them In second place.
Several fancy performers from Taun-
ton, Mass, viii shoot tonight. Frank
Tierney. who tied for twentieth place
in the national singles last year, has a
local record game of 200.
Harold Foster has rolled in a number
of New England sweepstakes without
Hal1ino haInvxy nf 100
Icy Solmer, southpaw, on a recent
wager, hit the No. pin ~ times In a
row, to win
Johnny williams and Arthur Miller
are other Taunton formidables. 4
Rosetta Miller of Taunton, Mass,
ranked No. 10 in the national list last
year and the Massachusetts, girl ALL
events champion of this season, VIII
show with the Willey's Taunton Girls.
She has league average OF 1O5%.
n IvALLING our own Lorraine Gull,
n Myra Raynnacher OF Taunton re-
Gently has won two tournaments,

Nellie Beardsworth, leader Of the
womens division of the New England
League, will pair with Atl1ol Millar, last

bklc lllACo 0OuDASo

buds Of Washington.
Howard Campbell and Glenn Weld
man and Jack and Glen Wolstenholme
viii shoot doubles tonight.
Frank Englebrook, captain Of the Ca
sino team Of Providence, r. l., who rolls
tonight, is leading the National Duckpin
Bowling Congress League, which In.
cludes 10 cities of Rhode Island and
Massachusetts,, with an average OF bet
ter than lib.
The strongest team, on paper, to roll
tonight is the Recreation Center OF
Lawrence, Mass, composed Of such stars
as Jimmy Gillette. who had an average
of 128 to win the Lawrence sweep
stakes; Leo Hindle, Judd Daley, Ed KEEL
lerer and Roy Hardy, all OF whom nave
distinguished themselves In one form OF
competition or another.
GAM SIMON, who wrote his name be-
- side those OF Tip O'Nen and Artie
Webb on that sparsely occupied
column of those who rolled perfect nat
games, looks upon that feat he per-
formed last Saturday as one Of his most
priced duckpin accomplishments.
Simon, probably because he confines
most Of his pinspilling ability to the
Federal League alone, is greatly un-
derrated bowler, albeit really one Of the
best in the city.
The Federal League star collected the
100 NAPLES without mark on the Gov
eminent Printing once drives, but be-
cause he rolled the score without foul
line judge, will not receive oficial rec
ignition.
Lou Hopfenmaier's National Pale
Drys breathed signs of relief today,
thanking their lucky stars they had a
lead of 1876 pins before taking on the
Clarendon Ail-Stars last night.
The crack juniors, defeated only by
Connecticut Blue Ribbons lost SO pins
TO the Clarendon team last night in the
final block. Red Megaw, the Temple
