BY GNO SINH

j. Henry H1Ser, BetheSoa'S re-
nowned Whataman Of the maple
ways and diamond, breezed in
to our sancto sanctorum bub-
bling over with enthusiasm, and
spilled words galore concerning
the Maryland-Vi Virginia Suburban
Duckpin Sweepstakes which
opens on his gliStening Bethesda
drives Saturday night at 8
O'Clock.
at looks like the most sue
OessfuI duCkpin event Of the
year for these parts" he
gurgIed. "Around 30 entries,
sure, and maybe more.
"But IL isn't the entry list
20 much as the fact that We
have several red.hOt dark
horses who will make things
warm for the stars.
"Bert Sheehy, the hottest
min WaII0per in suburban
circles right at this particular
moment, IL one Of those have
In mind. That boy is hard to
get along with when you set
10 duckpins up At the end Of
q polished wooden lane and
hand him . bali. He seldom
requires more than two to
sweep the alleys, and often
one is sufficient. What's more
he has plenty Of pep and 60,
and isn't afraid Of anything"
"Brer' Henry then thought Of
Clarendon where he claims that
there are three little known per-
formers who are burning things
up.
II don't even know their first
Names" says the suburban king,
"but I've had q chance to watch
them on several occasions and
they are handing in some excel
lent scores. They are Marcy,
Manning and KingSl0ver."
Here the mighty Bethesdan
took a deep breath, and con-
tinued:
Then there IL two fellows
out on my reservation, James
McCabe and Bob Walters, who
have shown extraordinary inn
prOvement this year. Both are
expected to roll Saturday night,
and, the established stars will
eye them with deep respect.

Of the Friendship Church
League"
OF course, the old standbys will
be In line, including the two for
iner champions, Ollie Webb and
Ray Parks.
Ollie webb. veteran southpaw,
suffered an auto mishap two
weeks ago, which temporarily
Ohelved him. But he is o. k. again
and breathing threats, Hiser
claims. Ray Parks, whose victory
last year was utterly unexpected,
Is confident that he will continue
to wear the crown at the conclu-
sion Of the event two weeks from
Saturday.
The entry list includes several
sweepstakes win ners. AStor
Clarke, who has won the Howard
Campbell, George Washington
and Potomac Sweepstakes titles

boy. Perce Wolfe, Cumberland
Sweepstakes monarch, and the
suburbs high average pinster
right now, is HyattSville's blue
ribbon entry.
