Evening star., 1932-01-01

England are no better, if as
good, as those of the National
Capital, when the Blue Ribbons
of Connecticut took it on the
whiskers yesterday, but there is
one member of Northern outfit
who not only is being hailed to-
day as the best duckpin bowler
in the country, but whom some
maintain is perhaps the greatest
of all time.
He is Nick Tronsky, lead-off man of
the Blue Ribbons, and II one doubts
the very nice things being said about
his bowling, ask any local maple star
who he will keep his eye on tomorrow
when the second annual United States
Sweepstakes is run off in Baltimore.
In an event of this kind it is almost
suicidal to predict what individual will
figure in the money, but nevertheless
Nick Tronsky's chances are liked by
nearly every one.
In the space Of two days, the No. !
ranking national pinman has had
hand in three world records: singles,
doubles and team.
Tronsky, whose form is similar to
Glenn Wolstenholme's when Big Glenn
was in his prime, climaXed the estab-
lishment Wednesday of a new 15-game
singles record and hand in new team
set when he and Bill Tato yesterday
rolled a doubles game of 323 in defeat
ing a Washington, Baltimore and
Hyattsville duo in a four-cornered
doubles match at the Lucky Strike.
Tronsky rolled 167 and Tato, 1856. 1t
I1{r %so
most Of yesterdays glory. Tato put to-
Rether strings of 139, 118, ISL, 125 and
l56 for 6S9 set, the highest Of the
local season
Scores Of the doubles battle:

TTRoNsKY is one Of those bowl
J. ers who never is very bad. When
his usually devastating first ball be-
gins to cut out the deuces, Nick is per-
fectly capable of remedying the situa-
ton almost Immediately by switching
on the alley. His accuracy on spares
Is almost uncanny.
However, Tronsky will have plenty Of
competition tomorrow in Baltimore. The
best Of Washington, Baltimore, Nor
folk, Richmond and Greensboro again
will be on hand for the running Of the
richest duckpin stakes in the country.
Jack Whalen and Brad Mandley, both
of the District, ran first and second, re-
spectively, last year. Tronsky was
third.
The Stars annual singles tournament
will wind up tomorrow at the Lucky
Strike. Carroll DAILY, the new leader
among the men, is conceded hne
chance Of winning on his 679, but
Margaret Brunelle's chances Of topping
the girls with her 355 is not held so
good. Many Star girls will be in the
field tomorrow.
CHORTLY after the Blue Ribbons
- had wanoped the National Pale
Drys Wednesday night, Red Megaw,
who had just completed arrangements
with Frank Barber for match with
his Washington Al-Stars, at Temple,
remarked that the Connecticut moni-
tors had not met a truly representative
local combination. His al-stars, com
posed Of Hokie Smith, Earl McPhilomy,
Bradley Mandley, Ollie Pacini and him
self, was much more representative and
intended to prove it.
1t appears as though they did. Led
by Pacini, who shot 42l, the Megaw-
captained clan won, 1,845 to l,763.
