BY FRANCIS Z. STAN.

nual national duckpin
~ tournament opens Tues
day in Norfolk, but despite
improved proves OF Southern
bowlers this season in intercity
matches, Washington's maple
shooters are regarding the grand
opening lightly-the majority do
not appear to regard their Dixie
rivals as the bowlers to beat for
the nine United States titles
which will be at stake.
Once again the consensus seems to
indicate another three-cornered battle
among Washington, Baltimore and the
New Englanders. Baltimore's contin-
gent, the first Of the three to roll, will
be In norfolk next Saturday, March 70:
''Washington day" comes next, April
2. with the New Englanders. headed
by the famous Connecticut Blue Rib
bons. shooting ON the final day,
April 8.
More than 16I teams, hailing from
Boston to Atlanta, already have made
reservations, according to Secretary
George Isemann, but officials OF the
National Duckpin Congress can thank
CAPABILITIES for the showing, for 81
of the 161 teams are local OUTFITS.
Thirteen of the 81 are girls teams.
Baltimore, city which boasts OF
at least as many bowlers as Washing
ton. is sending only "a. of which ID
are women's.
Despite that, only 161 teams have
entered the competition (more are ex-
pected, incidentally George Isemann
has done we'll In Washington last
year the tourney drew 400 teams and
that 16l Cor more) represents rep
resentation almost equal when 1t Is
considered that as O bowling center
Norfolk still has long way TO go and
that business conditions are anything
but favorable for a stable output for
the Norfolk trip, especially among the
New Englanders.
THE final tourney night, April o. viii

only are the Blue Ribbons slated
for action, but the finals OF the Ma
