MONEY NO MAGNET
| IN SEASONS FINALE
No. | Rank Is Goal in City
Tourney as Stars With All
Time Marks Roll.
BY r. d. THOMAS.

ITO stir duckpin star to fren-
zied effort in these dough-
less days, dangle before him
a prize of any size in coin
of the realm.
There may be an exception or
two, however, in the Washington
City Duckpin Association cham
pionships, the second week of
which opens tomorrow night at
the Lucky Strike.
1t is said Earl McPhilomy and Arthur
(Dutch) Newman, singular rivals for the
top spot in the Big Ten" ranking of
the w. c. D. A.. are keyed for grand
effort in the tournament with glory. Tor
a notable change, instead OF cash as
the chief inspiration.
ZACH hopes for whale Of score in
II the all-events that might sway the
scales in his favor when the w. C.
D. A. Ranking Committee singles out
the No. l bowler.
McPhilomy comes to the end OF the
campaign with an all-time record for
points to an average of 127 in the
National Capital League, which is the
highest average ever recorded in any
league in this city and perhaps any
other city.
Surely these are the standout show
ings of the season, although one or sew
eral other bowlerS may be considered
because of an unusually high average
for a great many games rolled in all
sorts of competition.
The w. C. D. A. committee finds itself
hard up against the old problem Of the
relative values of averages in the Dis
trict League, which operates on a cir
cult of nine establishments, and those
of the National Capital which holds its
matches exclusively at the Lucky Strike.
ONE school of thought on duckpin
~ rankings holds that no bowler
shoulS be ranked unless he has
rolled in a number Of leagues and
practically all the major tournaments,
which is something to annoy McPhilomy,
who has rolled few games outside the
District League.
Greatly in his favor is a rarely broken
custom to recognize as champion OF
Washington the bowler who leads the
brilliant pack in the District League.
The girls will open a week Of COM
petition tomorrow night at the Lucky
Strike Their twelfth annual tourna-
ment includes a field of 80 teams. Al
doubles and about so singles. It lacks
in size compared with the last several
years, but not in class. All the stars
are in.
A big pickup in pinfalls is expected
in the mems event this week. Due to
a paucity Of bowlers above B grade,
scores have been nothing to boast of
during the opening week. Only one in
dividual set above 400 was registered
and only one record fell.
It was predicted by the Lucky Strike
impresario, j. W. Wood. you may re-
member, that all records OF the tourna-
ment would tumble. So far only one
has appeared. this a $50 rolled by w. B.
Crabbe in class E singles.

i i tural and Masonic Leagues.

a lucky choice for a doubles partner

countered Dixon looking for a partner.
