NIoRFoLK. Va. April 2.-The
M same type of alley on which
Washington oowlers have
scored consistently and bril-
liantly in bowling in New England to.
day was expected TO play part in the
attempts of some $50 duckpinners from
the National Capital to take the lead
in the fifth National Duckpin Tourna-
ment here.
For the first time, Washington
bowlers were to roll on alleys equipped
with rounded cutters in an important
pin competition south of the Mason
Dixon line, for the new 48-alley pin
establishment here, operated by John
S. Blick, boasts the rounded cutters
used extensively in New England and
which may next year be used in many
washington plants. Even more help
ful to bOwlerS than the haphaZardly
raised cutters of the District are the
rounded cutters. Speed ball rollers.
especially, derive benefits from cutters
OF the rounded type which permit
fallen pins to roll back onto the alley
more freely than squared cutters.
THE rounded cutters are thought to
l. have been an aid in the unusually
high scores already rolled here in
the big national pin party, which has
been productive of one South Atlantic
record in the mems all-events and gen.
orally high scores in all of the other
divisions.
Despite that two Of the three most
feared contingents, Washington's and
New England's, have yet to roll, seven
of the eight divisions are being topped
with higher scores than which won in
last years tournament at Convention
Hall, D. c.
Only in the mems singles is there a
score lower than that which was good
for national championship in 1881.
In the mems doubles, Hugh Waldrop
and Perce Wolfe of Hyattsyille, Nd,
are leading with TIC, two pins higher
than the total by which Eddie Espey
and Paul Harrison of Washington won
last year.
THE Sokol-Rosebuds of Bridgeport,
l. Conn, topped the mems teams last
year with 1852, but the leader in
the current tourney. the Recreation
Happy Five Of Baltimore, has a score
20 pms DeJCer.
Ray Barnes of Baltimore, winner in
the mems all-events last year with
l,l79, already has relinquished his title
to another Baltimorean, Charley Bauer,
who set South Atlantic record with
1,195.
The present singles leader, Bill Ar
mold OF Annapolis, rolled 428, seven pins
lower than last years winner, Jack
Whalen of Washington, who now is
residing in Richmond.
A LII Of last years winners in the
\ womens division have seen their
scores beaten in this tourney. The
John Blick Girls of Washington were
team champions in 1881, but the Burk
Girls of Norfolk, today's leaders, have
shot 1880, eight pins shy of the
tournament record.
Mae Schneider and Lotta Janowitz of
Baltimore are leading in the women's
doubles with 693, II pins better than
the total made by Margaret MiItner
and Elsie Fischer of Washington last
year. Helen Clements of Baltimore.
