Tending champion, Ray Barnes,
long, thin and as potent socker
of duckpins as ever. Ray isn't
saying much, but rumors have it
that he is keeping a spot on his
mantlepiece busted for his second
Dixie diadem.
Brilliant as Barnes is. the re-
port continues, he doesn't stand
out from the rest Of his pin
smashing townsmen who are
likely to shoot Treading on
Barnes shoe laces is Ray Won
Dreele, who has gathered more
laurels in his more than a score
Of years as a top-notch batterer
Of naples than any other bowler
in the national limelight. The
"Flying Dutchman" made silent
VOW when the classic was inaugu'
rated that the Dixie was one
championship that he had to
annex before he retired to his
rocking chair.
RObey and Pickus

be relegated to a back seat.
Henry Penn, Lou Knocke and
Temple Keene, teammates Of
Robey on the sparkling Lexing-
ton team which has piled up an
enviable record in intercity COM
