PHYSICALLY
D. K. AGAIN
BY GINO SINH

The United States duckpin dou-
bles champions, Chester Bid and
Ed Blakeney, will be among the
contenders for The Washington
Times Atlantic Coast Doubles
Sweepstakes, when it gets under
way at the Lucky Strike Saturday
at 3 o'clock, and their rivals will
have profound respect for them.
Their entry was doubtful until
this week because of Bids phySi-
cal condition.
Chester was forced out of bowl
ing activities in December due
to threatened appendicitis and
thought that it might keep him
on the sidelines through the sea-
son. However, early this month
his doctor informed him that the
inflammation had subsidized suf-
ticiently for him to bowl bit.
That was all that Chester
needed. Without putting any un-
due strain on himself, he has
been working out on the drives
during the past month and is now
hitting the naples with excellent
results. He is satisfied that he
will do justice to himself in the
Atlantic Coast Doubles and is
all set for it.
Blakeney, Chester's partner Of
two years standing, who does his
best work toward the tail-end of
the season, is also on edge.
Down His Alley
The Atlantic Coast Doubles is
right down Eds alley, for he has
the knack of piling up a power
ful lot of pins for ten games.
Three times in recent years he
has been leading at the end Of
the second block Of major event,
the 1881 United States Sweep
stakes, the 1882 Campbell Sweep
stakes and the recent George
Washington.
Entry fee for the Atlantic
Coast Doubles is $12 per man.
Ollie Pacini and Red" Megaw,
defending Atlantic Coast cham
pions. will undergo a severe work
out when they finish their match
with Eddie Espey and whip"
Litchfield, in the final block of |
the all-Washington feud between
Sunrise Bakery and Temple at |
Convention Hall tomorrow night |
at 7:3O p. m.
Litchfield and Espey, only 9
pins behind, will be shooting on
their home drives and this makes
matters much worse for the
champs. Joe Harrison and Astor
Clarke, the other Temple standard
bearers, will strive to hold four
pin lead over Brad Mandley and
Louie Pantos in the other doubles
skirmish.
In the team match Sunrise
Bakery holds a lopsided lead of
1873 pins, while Templeites, Clarke
and Pacini, have big margins
over Tony Santini and Pantos in
the singles.
Doubles on Tap
Howard Campbell and George
ISemann will conclude their
match with Len Kocent and
Walter Miller, Of Baltimore, at
the Lucky Strike at 8 o'clock to-
night. Isemann and Campbell are
leading by So pins. It is in the
nature of a comeback test for
both Campbell, former No. rank
ing D. C. star, and Kocent, a top
notcher in Baltimore several years
Fago.
Isemann claims that he and
miller are couple of promising
young fellers." George rolled 386
lin a league match several days
ago, and is he tickled? Miller has
won several Baltimore sweep
stakes, and is one of the "finds"
Of the season. He commutes to
Temple every Monday to roll with
the Pirates and carries a 1T aver
age with that team.
The Highway team, District
Government League leaders, will
meet the Pepco All-Stars in
match at Arcadia 2:30 p. m. Sat-
urday. Charley Bernhardt, Frank
Xanten. Bill Falk, Neil Anderson,
Les Stull, and Hub Steele COM
pose the Highway team.

Conn. The team will include
Bernhardt. Steele, Jack Mooney,
Xanten, and Bud Geuthler.
