his District Bowling League lead
ing Northeast Temple crew to do
battle for the second time this
year with Roscoe. Richards Sec
ond place Hecht Co., and
Temples most formidable and
persistent rival. The clash is
scheduled on the Temple drives
at 8 o'clock.
It will have an important bear
ing on the District league pen
nant race as Temple is two games
ahead of Hecht, which in turn
is two games in front Of Pet
worth. All three of these teams
have quite an edge on the rest
of the field.
All the members of the Temple
team have added considerably to
their prestige during the Christ
mas holidays, with Ollie Paclnl
and Red Megaw grabbing the
major portions of the laurelS.
The haired Scotchman
and the curly-locked Italian are
at the peak of their form at the
moment. They proved it Satur-
day when Picini finished second
in the United States Sweepstakes
and Megaw came in fourth. The
field included every top-notch
roller of the nation, with the
incentive to do their best the big
gest purse offered in duckpln
event of the year.
Collect Coins
Pacini finished third in the
Star tournament with 676 ana
Megaw also placed well up among
the cash-collectors. Both showed
their mettle in special events dur
ing the past two weeks.
Among other things they took
the measure of Eddie Espey and
Paul Harrison, National doubles
champions, in both ends OF a
doubles match, coming within
eight pins of the new five-game
mark in one block.
Make Rosenberg is the big
gun in the Hecht Company line
up. Make, always good, is in
the midst of one of his greatest
seasons. In fact, at the moment
he is at his hottest" He rolled
SIT in the Star tournament, and
is setting the pace in the Ma
tional Capital League with a l26
average.
Joe Harrison, Makes doubles
mate, is also battering the naples
with considerable success. Tenn
porarily he is not holding the
stride which mark his early sea-
son work, but he is still pound
ing out plenty of duckpinS. He
finished fifth in the United States
Sweepstakes through a terrific
$50 last block set, remarkable
performance.
All four, Pacini, Megaw, Rosen-
berg and Joe Harrison, are amorg
leading contenders for high rank
ing not only in Washington, but
in the country. All look forward
to shooting even a more spec
tacular brand of duckpinS as the
season draws to a close.
Bid Bangs 'Em
Chester Bid is appearing in
Temple lineup. Bid has been
devotee of the drives for many
years, but is having the best
season of his career. He is
chalking up fancy score.
In the Star tournament Bid
rolled 624 and but for a poor
first set Bid would have finished
far up the line in the United
States Sweepstakes as both his
last two sets were over "600."
Ed Blakeney. Baltimore mem
ber of the Temple gang, and
George Honey, cunny-thumb ace
of the team, have distinguished
themselves within the last few
days. Blakeney boasts victory
over Nick Tronsky, Connecticut
great roller, in a singles match,
and Honey recently rolled a 200
game and All set. Both placed
well up the line in the United
States Sweeps Saturday.
The whole Temple team was
entered in the United States
Sweepstakes, thus adding another
feature to their cap. With to-
night the bowling season begins
its final lap.
