which have never before been rep.
resented in team competition, are
sure to have three teams, and
possibly six, Arville L. Ebersole,
secretary of the organization, was
Informed by Bill Press, cordial
boss of the College Park drives.
Fred s. Lyddane and Benny
Robinson, of Rockville, also
pledged several teams. Howard
Campbell is trying to sign up the
whole North of washington
League. The same is true of all
suburban bowling plants, which
is in keeping with the expressed
policy of the Maryland-V Virginia
Suburban Bowling Association,
which has been stimulating duck
pin interest in the outlying Sec
tions.
Roll at Same Time
The Suburban Associations S
own tournament will open at the
same time as the District event,
but Tommy Walker and EberSole
will see that the schedules OF
the two events will not conflict
with each other.
In the meantime EbersOle Is
proceeding with plans to make
special arrangements for the
suburbanites, setting aside GER
tain nights for the various
sectional leagues, etc.
At present he is working on
plans for a Rockville Night" :"
and Silver Spring, bethesda,
Hyattsville, Rosslyn, Alexandra
and similar nights will be ar
ranged if feasible.
With traditional promptness
the Bankers League was the first
to enter. This group has been
first in the last three or four
years.
The Knights of Columbus
League has been entered In its
entirety, and so has the Federal
League, the third strongest IN
the District proper. Pop HALEY
has pledged the complete entry
of the Recreation League, and
Ernest Sparks, secretary Of the
Laundrymen League, Is rounding
up that loop.
At least 80, and possibly more,
teams will come in from the
Masonic League. This giant loop
has been badly handicapped this
season, an unusual number OF
dummy" scores having figured
in the team scores each night.
There is no change in the
classification of bowlers averages
nor in the rules governing eligl-
bility. A bowler may bowl with
as many teams as he has rolled
during the season, but his high
est average in all leagues will
be counted against him. The
first team set rolled will be con-
sidered in the all-events.
Dubs Have Fine Chance
Ebersole points out the number
of apparently nondescript teams
who placed far up the line in
the N. D. B. C. tournament. It
should encourage mediocre teams
to enroll in such an event as a
classified tournament regardless
Of averages.
It is time-tested adage
that a bowler or a team Of
bowlers must have 'EhOt
hand" to score in a tOurna-
ment and the rankeSt dub"
gets one of those things quite
often.
Glass A is for bowlers who
average l0S or better. This calls
for b ZIG average in the doubles
and a $40 or over in the team.
Glass B is for bowlers between
104 and 107; Class c for those
between 100 and 1903; Class D,
96 to 90, and Class C, under 95.
Secretaries Of the various leagues
are urged to send in their league
averages as of March %. Teams
can be split up into two squads
if their roster will permit Thus
q team which Aas used 10 men
in the course of the season can
enter two teams. individual
averages for Is games or more
governing the entries. No average
under IS games will be con-
sidered. All such bowlers are
