LEFT FOR CAPITAL.
Baltimoreans' Big Scores at
Norfolk Formidable to
Defending Champs.

NWO AuI1QISQ anu 1lIIy OOQ
Washington bowlerS today
l. are aware that only record
and near-record scores will
win the nine United States cham
pionShipS which will be the goals
Of the CapitaliteS Saturday at
Norfolk, scene of the current Ma
tional Duckpin Tournament.
Although foreShadowed to a
certain extent, the furore created
by Baltimore and Annapolis bowl
erS Saturday came to Washing
tons pin colony as a rather stun
ming reality and more than bore
out predictions that the Capitals
stars would be supplied with all
the competition desired.
That small army Of local bowlerS
which will leave Friday night for Nor
folk had expected the attacks on several
MOTTO o-be-sneezed at marks, but the
general high-grade of pinSpilling which
marked the bowling Saturday was q bit
more than expected.
Charley BauerS score of ! ,195 in the
mems all-events, of course, was the
standout splurge. A new South Atlantic
record and only 8 sticks shy of the
United States mark, Bauer's score, need
less to say, is an order plenty large
enough for any Washington star.
TTIEING with the Baltimore young
ster's performance was the rolling
of Bill Arnold, yesterday and
Clark, all of Annapolis. Arnold's 428
in the singles may not win, but it is
certain to reward the Annapolis ace
with sizable bit of the prize money.
The new doubles leaders, yesterday
and Clark, also are certain to collect
some cash if not first prize for that
event. A 767 score in doubles, under
the strain that accompanies competi-
ton for national title, is no easy feat.
Washington's five-man teams in Nor
folk next Saturday also have SiZable
mark to shoot at in the 1,790 rolled by
the Baltimore Recreation Happy Five
However, if the Capitals masculine
bowlers are looking forward grimly to
attacking those impressive marks, no
less ambitious are the women.
Helen Clements of Baltimore, who
assumed the lead in the singles with
358. is conceded just about an even
chance of winning. 1t bettered two of
the four previous marks for the women's
singles.
A LTHOUGH unpublished until now
"A that 693 score in the women's
doubles, rolled by Lotta Janowitz
and May Schneider, is a new tourna-
ment record and, of all the woman
leaders, these two Oriole maids appear
to have the best chance to remain up
front.
Mary Lutz, still another Baltimore
girl, Is certain to be we'll up in the
money, and a probable winner. as a
result of her LOIS in the women'S all
events. Only once has this mark been
bettered In national tournament play
and that was in 1880 when Lorraine
GULL of Washington rolled 05l.
Another near-record was established
by women when the Regent Old Bay
Line team shot 1884. In 1880 the Bal
timore Recreation Center rolled 1,638
the only national tournament mark to
beat the Regent score Saturday.
Lotta Janowitz and Andy Zieler, who
took the mixed doubles lead with 654,
are not likely to remain high, but it
should be good for not lower than fifth
or sixth place.
TAKEN as a whole. the present
l. leaders represent nine tough hurdles
and are fully capable of lowering
the grand tournament average of five
championships year by Washing
tonians.
Five of the nine titles this year will
be defended by Capital bowlers. A
sixth was won in 1881 by a Washing
tonian, Jack Whalen, now a resident
of Richmond
In the mems section, Paul Harrison
and Eddie Espey won the doubles with
774, but that team will be broken up
Saturday because both are employed in
o bowling alley. Harrison will team
with Make Rosenberg.
Local women will have three titles
to defend, while Harrison and Elsie
Fischer are the mixed doubles cham
pions. The John Blick girls, who shot
1888, won the team event last year;
Margaret Miltner and Elsie Fischer the.
doubles with 676, and Pauline Ford the
nll-events with 992
Thirty-eight mems teams and II
women's will make the trip to Norfolk
this week to defend the Capitals pres
tige. In addition to these 245 pinners,
several others who will roll in the in
dividual events will be included The
contingent will leave by boat Friday
night and arrive in Norfolk Saturday
morning. Following the bowling, the
group will spend Saturday night and
Sunday in the seaport city and begin
the return trip Sunday night. The
boat will arrive here early Monday
