Who are the standout duckpin
doubles in Washington this sea-
son?
The answer is easy. There
isn't any.
No two-man team can point
with pride to any kind of record
compiled during the current cam
paign.
So when the second annual
Washington Times Atlantic Coast
doubles gets under way at the
Lucky Strike on Saturday, March
II, the battle for the major dou-
bles championship of the country
will be wide open, at least as far
as local pin-poppers are concerned,
and the D. c. duo that finishes
highest can lay clam to being the
Capitals best.
Red Megaw and Ollie Pacini,
who climaXed brilliant doubles
season last year by adding the At
lantic Coast crown to their large
collection Of laurelS, aren't doing
thing during the present period.
They have lost many decisions,
twice bowing to young and little
known Baltimore pairs.
Paul Harrison and Max RoSen-
berg, the combination that ruled
the doubles rooSt locally for six
years, until Pacini and Megaw
came to the front, made only one
disastrous appearance this year.
Ed Blakeney and Chester Bid,
National doubles kings, were
stopped from doing anything by
threatened appendicitis to Bid.
Alliances Formed
In the meantime several power
full alliances have been formed
which are expected to flash with
no little lustre in the Atlantic
Coast doubles test.
Whip" Litchfield, current
Campbell Sweepstakes champion,
and Tony Santini, last year
monarch, have thrown their lot
together, and are angling for
workout matches to get in top
trim for the forthcoming classic.
Hokie Smith and Louie Pantos,
two of the big guns on the King
Pin team, are another twosome
that demands respect. Dutch"
Newman and Brad Mandley Lan
be safely entrusted to take care
Of themselves.
Howard Parsons and Charley
Watson and Ben Hare and Paul
Brill who finished second and
third, respectively, in last years
event are fine combinations.
Jack Talbert and Ed Schlegel
are looking forward eagerly to
toting a major title to George
town which hasn't had a cham
pion since Sam Benson won the
national all-events five years ago.
Astor Clarke and Joe Harrison
are nobody's setups as they have
proved on their few appearances
together nor are George Honey
and "Chief" Lovett the two
Northeast flashes when they get
going.
Many Strong Pairs
Then there is Earl McPhilomy
and Howard Compbell, Sam
Simon and Charlie Barnard,
Eddie Keith and Harry Aiken,
Hugh Waldrop and Perce Wolfe,
