Hampers Him.
BY FRANCIS L. STAN.

A N old familiar and famous
" bowling name, which has
"A appeared in countless sport
page headlines since 1925,
has been so conspicuous by its alb
sence this season that duckpin
folk are beginning to ask:
whats happened to Bradley
Mandley7 Don't hear of him
much now"
Mandley, versatile, colorlesS and
potent, Is, for the first time since
1925, when the Washington City
Duckpin Association inaugurated
rankings, in danger of being left
out of the first 10.
But the only bowler ever to be ranked
No. twice by the w. C. D. A. still is
able TO cut loose as demonstrated last
night when he shot 1876 string and
430 set in the Recreation League. And
this splash represents only the begin
ming of an eleventh hour drive which
will be climaxed in the two remaining
major events, the National and wash
tngton Tournaments.
WINNERS Of such varied events as
w the 100-gsme marathon, single-pin
tournament and Eastern Sweep
stakes, and runner-up in the United
States Sweepstakes last year, Mandley
never has been able to add q single
w. G. D. A. or N. D. B. c. title to his
lengthy and imposing collection.
But Washington's No. ranking pin
spiller of 1926-27 and again Of l928-29
Is planning to overcome the tournament
jinx to gain what he has achieved for
the last five years-a place among the
Capitals Big Ten"
lit average in the District League
Is what is hampering Mandley's chances
most. He has fine averages in both the
National Capital and Recreation
Leagues, but hasn't rolled enough games
at present to be recognized as one Of
the leaders.
7 INOFFTCIALLY it would appear as
~ though at least 13 will be In the
fight for the 10 Washington City
Association rankings. Ollie Pacini,
Henry Hiser, Astor Clarke. Hokie Smith,
Red Megaw and Paul Harrison loom as
repeaters. Eddie Espey and Mandley.
two other 193031 choices, may be on
more of a ragged edge at plfsent while
three others not ranked lasS year, Earl
McPhilomy, Tony Santini and Bob
Temple, should figure prominently.
Bernie Frye and Red Morgan are
the only ones Of last years big 10 now
definitely out Of the picture.
