BY FRANCIS E. STAN.

~ OWLERS who face spare
K breaks with confidence born
- of consistent success, who
are experts or near-stars,
this season have capitalized to
the extent of three added sticks
per game on their averages be-
cause of the raised cutters. This
Is revealed in the first official and
authentic report of the Washing
ton City Duckpin Association
Committee, which yesterday re-
leased plans for the twenty-second
annual tournament, along with
the new classifications.
Your class B" bowler, who is the
er-than-average pinman, enjoys on
an average an increase OF about two
sticks per game.
The great mass of league bowlers,
those who are rated class c" are about
one pin better this year, while little
difference Is recorded in performances
of "class D" pinners and none at all
in "claSs E.
DREv1oUs to the raising OF the gut
r ters, which undoubtedly gives a
bowler aid through pin sliding. the
classification for class A teams was $40
and over. In doubles it was ZIG and
over and in singles 108 and over.
The new "a classi1cations are 555
and over for teams 222 and over for
doubles and Ill and over for singles.

$50 to 554 for teams, 212 to 22l for

For class c teams, under the new
classification, the new figures are sos
to 529 for teams, 202 to 211 for dou-
bles and l01 to 105 for singles. Last
years class c classifcations were 500
to SIG, 200 to 207 and 100 to 103.
The only change in class D was the
raising of the limit one pin per game.
Last years team figures were 480 to 499.
This year it is 480 to 504. In the dou-
bles the new classification is 1872 to POI

Z BERSOLE'S announcement OF plans
IL means league scorers will have to
giddyap. All averages must be COM
piled to March 26 and turned over to
the Classification Committee. Entries
from leagues not sending in the figures
cannot be classified and must bowl IN
class A.
A bowler may roll on as many teams
as he is registered with, but his first
team shoot" will count in his all
events. Bowlers rolling in less than Is
games in any one league will be placed
in Glass A.
The entrance fee for all classes will
be 81 per man in each event.
THE schedule for the big tourney,
i which will open April 18 at Con-
vention Hail. was arranged in con-
junction with the Maryland Virginia
Suburban Association so that there
will be no conflicts between the two
tournaments. The majority of the sub
urbanites will be scheduled for the third
week of the Washington City tourna-
ment, after the conclusion Of the sub
urban event.

spective league to fill the desired quota
