LAUREL is TOSS-UP
AMONG -FOUR STARS
Rosenberg, Pacini, Clarke
and Megaw Main Contend
erS-EYent on Saturday.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN.

A THOUGH more than three
" months of league and tour
II nament campaigning is
ahead in this 1892
bowling season, a fair idea of who
will figure in the Washington City
Duckpin Association rankings may
be had starting Saturday when
the Howard Campbell Sweep
stakes, the blue ribbon duckpin
classic of Washington, opens. The
event originally was slated to be-
gin on January 16, but it was
moved forward a week today, due
to conflicting dates with other
matches.
Victory in the big stakes is feather
in anybody's cap, but it would mean
more than that to Make Rosenberg,
Ollie Pacini Aston Clarke or Red
Megaw. Should one of these four
triumph, it will virtually assure him OF
a ranking in the upper bracket of the
10 leading bowlers chosen by the
w c. D. A.
During this half of the season Rosen-
berg, Pacini, Clarke and Megaw have
dominated the local bowling world by
their brilliant exhibitions, Rosenberg,
Clarke and Megaw mainly by their
stellar league averages and Pacini with
his victory in the Dixie Sweepstakes
and Second-place berth in the National
Sweepstakes. not to speak of brilliant
showing in The Stars tournament.
Should Pacini win he would not have
to duplicate his general work of last
season, when he outbowled, generally,
every other pinman in Washington.
with mark of 1927 for 241 games
on 80 different alleys, to earn niche
in this years honor roll.
Tor Rosenberg, who is leading the
l. National Capital. League, with a
mark of around 1926 the Campbell
Sweepstakes crown would dovetan
nicely with his hefty average, and the
same is true of Clarke, the defending
Campbell champion, and Megaw, whose
averages are but little under that of
Rosenberg. In addition, each finished
among the money-winners in The Star
tournament.
Pacini, incidentally, is the only mem
Der of this quartet who hasn't won the
Campbell Sweepstakes title, although
he finished third last year. Megaw
won in 1928, Rosenberg In 1880 and
Clarke last year. Each will face a
Jinx, which has, seemed to haunt every
champ and keep him from repeating.
But notwithstanding their brilliant
records this season, this quartet won't
be the only formidable contenders in
the tournament by any means How
ard Campbell and ArYille Ebersole ex-
pect 60 entries and no one is going
to lay $28 on the line without hope of
cashing in.
The decision TO change the original
dates, January IS, % and 80 was
reached last night~ when Campbell
was requested to move the event for
ward, due to the visit the National
Pale Drys are to make to the Blue
Ribbons Of Connectsout on January
80. The new dates are January 9,
