Sweepstakes, will be held
on the next three Saturdays. It's
three five-game blocks, it was an
nounced last night by Secretary
Arville Ebersole of the Washing
ton City Duckpin Association, will
be staged at the Lucky Strike,
Columbia and Convention Hall,
in that order.
Not in the least discouraged by eco-
nonlic conditions, Ebersole and Howard
Campbell, the tournament sponsor,
are bent upon producing field as large
as last years, in which 80 competed
On a basis of 80 entries, with fee of
S28, the prize fund would be $975, plus
Silt for the traditional diamond-stud-
ded medal that goes with victory.
THIS will be the seventh Campbell
- Sweepstakes, and, as usual, there
will be no strong favorite. OF the
half dozen previous victors, only Glenn
Wolstenholme will be absent when the
howit7ers open fire Saturday at 7:30
pm. at the Lucky Strike.
Past winners besides Wolstenholme
who triumphed in the original event,
include Red Megaw, Bradley Mandley,
Max Rosenberg, Astor Clark and Tony
Santini. SantiniS victory a year ago
was by single pin, with Ed Blakeney
the runner-up. The record for the Is
games was established two seasons back
by Astor Clark, with 1875.
Only two bowlers have engaged in
all the Campbell tournaments-How
Campbell, from whom the affair takes
its name, and George l.. Isemann, sec
retary of the National Duckpin Bowling
CorfTess.
A 1dONG expected newcomers to the
"A tournment are Goat" Lovett of
the Lucky Strike team, who car
ries the high average of 126 in the Ma
tional Capital League; Sam Corcoran,
the Georgetown Recreation star; Joe
Pricci, captain of the Occidental team
of the District League; Ben Hare, who
placed high in the recent Evening Star
tournament, and Dave Crockett of the
Judd & Detweiler team and leading
performer of the Typothetae League
SOICOIdn SI1Ot ptIG Oh tIlC bOuIndInSnL
last year, but not in his own behalf.
He carried on for Dave Burrows when
Dave was incapacitated by injury. The
fact that Sam picked up high game
money for Burrows at the Lucky Strike,
$25, may have something to do with
Corcoran's entry this time.
Clem Weidman, who, because OF ILL
ness, missed the tournament last year.
will return, as will Al Works, noted
southpaw, who Is staging q comeback.
BY way Of helping out on entry fees,
minor sweepstakes will be held at many
pin plants. Among alleys announcing
such events are the Lucky Strike. Co
1umbia, Recreation and King Pin.
A NOTABLE absentee win be Ray
"A Won Dreele, one of the foremost
duckpinners Of the country, who
for q couple of seasons has divided his
bowling activity between Baltimore and
Washington. The Oriole recently has
been forced to forego his weekly trip
to the Capital to shoot in the District
League. His place on the Lucky Strike
team has been taken by Ken Thorpe,
for years one of the District Leagues
high average men, but who dropped
out of regular competition this season.
The hottest" bowler In town and
consequently to be feared in the big
money classic is Paul Harrison, cap
tain of the Cool Drinks team of the
Columbia Heights League. According
to figures given last night by the
leagues scorer, Ben McAlwee, Harrison
is carrying the highest average In
Washington duckpin history-126 for
"a games.
Speaking of high averages, that GULL
girl is UP to old tricks A healthy set
last week showed Lorraine's figures TO
ASA for 81 games, an almost incred-
ible record for girl bowler. While
Miss Gull was hiking up her average
in the Ladies' District League, her old
friend, Rena Levy, was shooting world
4ecord game OF lit in the same league,
on the Lucky Strike drives.
Miss Levy, bowling with the Colum-
bia team, opened the big string with
a triple-header strike. Her score beat
by one stick the previous record, made
by Miss GULL.
Fred Buchholz announces another
major intercity match for his Occi-
dental team. It will meet the Worth
more Butter five of Baltimore at Con-
vention Hall February 2, with return
engagement slated February 5.
