CURRENT LEADERS
NOT FORMIDABLE
Round Cutters of N. D. B. C.
Drives Make for Unprece-
denied PinfaII.
BY FRANCIS z. STAN.

folk, particularly Washing
~ tons, to the sensational, II
somewhat artificial, scores
this season, the production OF
scores big enough to win those
nine national titles now at stake
in Norfolk, Va, promises to be q
tough assignment.
While the fifth National Duck
pin Bowling Congress tournament
which enters into its third day to-
day in John Blick's 48-alley Nor
folk pin palace, has started like
the proverbial lamb, Washing
tonians are not kidding them
selves that the present leaders are
to be reckoned with.
The newly installed rounded cutters
OF the Norfolk plant is the biggest rea-
son, OF course, for the widespread be-
| lief that Unprecedented national tour
nament scores will be made.
IRON this corner it would seem as
l. though four national tournament
records are In acute danger of be-
ing smashed. while the other FIVE stand
no better than an even chance to sur
| vive.
One of those likely to 60 into discard
Is the 1872 total for mems teams, rolled
in 1929 by the Baltimore Recreation
Center team.
Another is the 435 rolled by Jack
Whalen of Washington last year in the
| mems singles. A AIS Is q biweekly
occurrence in Washington now on our
raised cutters and rounded cutters are
said to be even more potent.
The women's doubles mark of 688,
held by Marie Frere Whalen and Mar
jorie Bradt Smith Of Washington and
made in 1929, also may be bettered.
Scores Of TOO and better are common
today.

son and Elsie Fischer Of washington.
CERTAINLY, in these days when
~ bowling folk refuse to become ex-
cited when girls roll 428 sets and
men 479, the five other marks can be
conceded no better than an even chance
to stand up.
But 1t VIII require plenty OF good
rolling and not few breaks in luck
to beat 'em.

the all-events total of 1903 shot by
Ray Millar of Wakefield, Mass, in
1880.
Another tough one to beat will be
the 1888 score In the women's team
competition in 1880, rolled by the Rec
reation Centre girls of Baltimore. This
was amplified by the John Blick girls

CONCEDED SUCCESS
f HE MAKES A BID
Columbian Ace, Due Home
Soon With Bride, Hungers
for More Links Play.
BY WALTER r. McCALLUM.

~ GLAND MACKENZIE'S re-
- turn to golf around Wash
i ington is sure to inject a
new spirit into competitive
play around the Capital. The Co.
lumbia lad, recently married in
California and due to return to
Washington within a few weeks
to make his home here, undoubt-
edly will compete in at least two
or three of the larger events to
be held around Washington this
year, for, according to his own
statement, he is anxious to play
golf again.
During his stay on the Pacific Coast,
where he was with one of the large
Aim companies for two years, Roland
did not get much chance to play golf.
He told us at the amateur champion
ship at Chicago last year that he was
starving for a little golf, and that he
had hardly been able to play at all for
o long time.
The Columbia lad left Washington
back in 1927, first going to New York,
later to Wilmington and after that to
California Before he left the Capital
he had set up one of the finest COM
petitive records ever piled up by an
amateur around Washington.
DURINo the years 1928, 1924 and
- 1925 he won about everything
there was to win, including all the
major tournaments, and the Middle
Atlantic and District amateur cham
pionships. He was chosen a member
Of the United States Walker Cup teams
In 1926, 1928 and 1880, and today, even
though he has hardly played any golf,
is regarded by the United States Golf
Association as Walker Cup material.
Roland Mackenzie II his game comes
back to what it was in the years from
1923 to 1923, can win any tournament
he enters around Washington, although
he probably will not play in many of
them. 1t Is certain, however, that If
he does compete he will be formidable
hurdle for any local amateur to over
come, even though Harry @. Pitt, the
District champion, is vastly improved
golfer and several other local amateurs
have 90 improved their games that they
are capable of stepping along in almost
any company when they are right.
TTHE Middle Atlantic Golf Association
l. championship Is to be played this
year at Columbia, which is Roland
MacKenzie's home club, and 1t is quite
likely that the former holder of the
title again viii make a bid for that
championship. Roland won the tourney
in 1925. Back in 1928 he and his father
Albert r. MacKenzie-met in the
final round Of the Midatlantic at Chevy
Chase, and Roland's daddy sank a
lengthy putt on the first extra hole to
beat his son.
There cannot be any doubt in the
minds Of those who have watched
Roland play in past years that with a
few rounds Of golf under his belt, and
a general Tightening up of his game, he
win change the competitive picture in
rolf around Washington this year If
he plays In many of the tournaments.
Always q sound golfer, one of the long,
est hitters the amateur ranks ever have
seen, and fine putter. Roland plays
golf enough to win any tournament he
enters. His return to competitive golf
about the Capital will be quite spur
TO the game hereabouts, provided he
elects 10 play In tournaments.

BETTER SCORES DUE
IN A. B. C. TENPINNING
Veteran Bowlers Expect Heavier
Counts, Now That New Drives
Are Broken In.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, March 24-Veteran pin
- topplers prefer to take their shots
at the American Bowling Con-
gress prize money after the new alleys
have been broken in.
That is the reason why only some
20 per cent of the class A teams booked
in the pin classic have performed thus
far, although the thirty-Second renewal
Of the A. B. c. Tourney is now in its
third week.
While five totals over the 700 mark
have been registered in the singles di-
vision, the general scoring in the FIVE
man, two-man and all events has been
nothing sensational. Veteran A. B. c.
followers and several of the Congress
officials predicted 10 marks of better
than 5000 in the team event and as
many scores over the 1900 mark in
the doubles class after the terrific
bombardment in the singles early last
week.
Neither doubles nor singles events
were scheduled yesterday "Jumpin'
Barney" Spinellas Recreation five of
Brooklyn could do no better than 1883.
Spinella and Jimmy Smith of Milwau-
kee are the only men ever to win the
all-events title twice, and the Brooklyn
bowler got q fair start toward another
good score with a 597 series on games
Of 1873, 2l0 and 204.

There being no paint to chip of and

The ball Is being made in the l.68x1 50
size which is the legal size and weight
for golf balls, as specified by the United
States Golf Association. The ball will
be called the Top Flight" and will be
recommended for use by expert golfers,
