!. AMONG D. c.
BOWLERS
BY GINO SINH

among the Districts rampaging
duckpinners is a task which re.
quires the patience Of Job. the
hair-splitting judgment of Solo,
mon, and a cusSed determination
to thew to the line and let the
chips fly where they will"
An unprecedented number OF
special matches, sweepstakes and
tournaments demand their pound
of flesh" on par with the season
long league rolling. After all, the
job is to select the 10 best bowlerS
of the year, not the 10 best league
bowlers, and final figures must be
the deciding factors.
Another point to be taken into
account is the raised cutters.
Taking everything into conSid-
Grafton, Ollie Pacini, Temple and
Rinaldi Tailors flash, has shot the
most consistently brilliant duck
pins in league and special matches
and events of anybody in this
jurisdiction and claims No. l rank
ing hands down.
Averaged 124
Ollie rolled 407 special event
games for an unheard-of average
of 124. A corrected mistake placed
him third in the District League
with 1906. He had just under
119 in the National Capital
League.
Fed" Megaw, the rejuvenated
veteran, who led Temple to the
District League pennant, has been
cast in the shade by the flasher
work of his doubles partner, but
he has been walloping the naples
for enviable totals on every occa-
sion, and might have noSed out
his buddy for the top post had he
kept up his great league rolling to
the end. Red" has been clicking
a 122 pace for 300 special games.
He deserves second place.
Earl McPhilomy of Lucky Strike
gets No. 3 berth for having proven
himself the best league" bowler
in. the city. He has three wonder
full league averages, and pulled a
great finish to win the District
League individual title.
Fourth honors are almost a
matter of opinion. Astor Clarke,
because Of his mighty 1928
record average in the National
Capital and just under 120 in the
District deserves the edge over
Henry Hiser and Hokie Smith.
Hiser Is Revelation
Hiser's general league averages
are a revelation. He bowled in
both major circuit leagues and
had 120 in the Md.-Va. and 1884
in the District. Just enough to
get the duke" over Smith.
"Hokie's" failure to do more
bowling shoves him down to sixth
place, despite the fact that he
finished only three pins behind
McPhilomy in the District League.
We give Joe Harrison prefer
ence for seventh honors over
brother Paul. because Joe has
been more conspicuous in special
events. Paul, however, sparkles
brilliantly with a 1913 average
in the Columbia Heights League.
Suit yourself as to whom you
will put in the final two berths.
1t is a toss up between Brad
Mandley, Eddie Espey, Joe Pricci,
Tony Santini. Make Rosenberg,
Charley Watson, Howard Par
sons, Johnny Anderson, George
Honey and, perhaps, Louie Pan
toS and Gus Fredericks.
Personally. we give ninth place
to Joe Pricci. mostly out of recog-
milton for his sensational 497 rec
ord set, backed by some right
nifty league and sweepstakes roll
ing, especially during the past
two months. He has done pretty
well in the current w. C. D. A.
tournament, If you will take
notice.
Tony Santini rounds out the
list because of his victories in
the Howard Campbell and George
Washington sweepstakes, as well
as two excellent league averages.
