Eddie Espey and Paul Harrison are the
reserves.

l. same experts who gave Washing
toms best an artistic iacing last
year-namely, Bill Tato, Joe Gacek,
Mike Bogino, Nick Tronsky and Jack
" lite Tronsky and White will team
IN the doubles and Tronsky will roll
angles.
Lou Gehrig, the New York Yankees
mighty first baseman and close friend
of BuchholZ, will fire the first ball.
Neither of the team captains likely will

DEN HARE, a middle-aged. nom
- athletic appearing chap with de-
termined CLINT in his eye was the
hot shot of last nights doins at the
Lucky Strike. Hare, member Of the
Capital League, rolled into third place
with a set Of GAS, including pins
handicap. But more important than
that, he shot the high game of the
roll-off, 1853, which will be worth SIS
II it stands up.
Hare made a brave try to beat M. C. |
Jones 666, which tops the standing
He marked in all but two boxes of the
final string.
A great finish was made also by
Arlie Webb, the famous southpaw
With only fair set the prospect, en-
tering the last string, Webb tossed in
157-game to land sixth in the stand
ing with total of 642. Webb seems
always able to 90 the unusual. He is
believed to be the only duckpin bowler
who has achieved both the rare feats
OF scoring 200 pins in one game and
OF rolling perfect fiat string. His
642 is the best set rolled from scratch
in The Star tournament finals.

last night 1t got him a tie for fourth
place in the roll-off with 645
Tony Santini, the Campbell Sweep
stakes champion, rolled 628 from

record for the girls division of the |
tournament with 604-set in the Lucky |

last night She landed one pin behind
the leader, Henrietta Stanley.
GAM RUBINToN, the only sports
~ writer to qualify, southpawed 583 |
sticks, with a IS handicap. Sam
had distinguished company on the |

was no inspiration. After a 129-1O6 |
start, an encouraging result for most |
boTlers, the famous one decided it was
not his night to shine and scratched |
Chester Bid rolled 306 for three games, |
then jacked up.
