RICH DUCKP|N
EVENT OPENS
TOMORROW
BY GINO SINH

The eyes and footsteps of duck
pin fans will turn toward the
Coliseum bowling alleys tomor-
row night, for those drives,
doomed to pass out Of existence
shortly, will be the scene of the
opening round Of the Howard
Campbell Sweepstakes, Washing
TONS richest and most select
duckpin offering.
The Coliseum alleys will be
torn down before spring comes
wandering up this way, to make
way for buildings Uncle Sam
needs to carry on his work, and
this will be it's final big splurge.
Facing the starting gun to-
morrow night will be three scores
and more of the city's premier
maple-Wallopers, many of them
plucky newcomers and including
several youngsters who have
flared into national prominence
since this event was last enacted.
No FavOrites
AS always, there are no out-and-
out favorites. This event, like
all other duckpin events, is a
wide-open affair, for all the
entrants are capable of throwing
in powerful scores.
Make Rosenberg, last year
winner, is in the midst of a
fine streak of duckpinning, and
those who must place wagerS
are backing the handsome He
brew's chances.
Jack Whalen, because Of his
victory in the National Sweep
stakes is also looked upon as an
outstanding contender.
Brad Mandley, who won the
title in 1929, and who barely
missed out in the National event
last month, is very much in the
running. Brad is fellow who can
not be counted out no matter how
far behind he may be. He is al
ways charging"
Another formidable threat is
''Red" T,1egaw, winner in 1928,
who has been going at a speedy
clip this season. Followers OF
Glenn Wolstenholme, the Howit-
Zer, whose exploits made duckpin
history up to two years ago, and
who won the first affair after a
thrilling finish, do not count him
out of it.
Glenn has been applying him.
self to duckpin seriously this sea-
son, and while he is far from the
form which brought him national
prominence, he is delivering husky
scores at the right time.
