 urday Afternoon

The sixth annual Connecticut Duckpin championships which get under way at the Rogers Recrea- ton alleys in New Haven promise to be the most successful of all the tournaments sponsored by the Connecticut Bowling Alley Owners association.
 The entries are reaching the seventy mark and by the time the opening day arrives this number should be increased considerably. The rumor that the Leavitt Girls would not take part was without foundation for Charles A. Davis of the Holland Alleys reports receiy- ing the entry blank of this team and also that of the Riverside A. C., members of the Bridgeport City league
 Two More
 Hartford has made further addi- tions to its already big list of en- tries by registering the Travellers Club and the Delucco Girls Five from the Capitol Alleys. The Travellers Club explained by James Gildea competed last year and have an outstanding bowler in Harry Magnussen, who was a competitor in the recent Fairfield County Sweepstakes.
 Ansonia will be represented by the strong Hevesey Five with Pollard Powanda, Hanley, Seges- trom, Hevesey and Herb Kusako and latter being the bowler, who had he enjoyed little more luck, might have eased Nick Tronsky out of then title of Fairfield Coun- ty Sweepstakes champion.
 The Republican Old Timers of New Haven, a team sponsored by the veteran Joe Bianchi of the Elks alleys have agreed to change their bowling night 50 that they can play Herman Schincels Gray Eagles of Derby on Friday, April 27th. The meeting of these two teams should have an interesting outcome for they represent the old CT generation in the bowling game. The Derby squad admit to a an average of 62 years and it does not seem such q long while ago that Herman Schincel used to take his place behind the plate at the old Rockville grounds near Water bury. The republicans confess to all being over 60 years of age but it is very doubtful if any of them will ever be called upon to pay personal taxes again.
 The Echo Hose Co g of Shelton are interested in a Fireman's Night and the various fire companies throughout the state are being can- vassed with view to holding such night on Thursday, April 26th.
 Scribes Special
 The Newspaper men have not been forgotten and next Wednes- day is to be their day. They will have a regular championship series with singles, doubles and lives and the winners will be accorded state titles.
 Mixed doubles 8 form of compe- tition that is increasing in popu- larity will also be part of the pro- gram although not officially part of the championship program. These games can be rolled at any time during the progress of the tourney, subject to alleys being available and in all probability there will be many take advantge of the opening day on which to roll their matches in this class.
 The Roger Shermans of New Haven have listed two mems teams and one team in particular boasts class. Jack White evidently be- lieves in variety. He has with him Doctor Lefemina, who finds time between administering to the sick to roll a good game. He also has Walter Decko, Connecticut junior champion and runner up in the national championships, and will be one of the real youngsters of the tourney. Then too, he has none other than Joe Porto, who has been bowling for years before duckpins were eyer thought of and rounds out the team with Jimmy Padula, who assisted Jack in one of his record breaking games. The sec- ond team consists of Delaney, Watson, Beck, Jacobson and Kal- lett, the latetr being the ten pin artist and Jacobson, the Jack Ja- cobson, who partnered Jack White to win the state doubles at Dan bury two years ago.
 Entries still continue to come in and will be accepted as will any other that reach the secretary on or before the opening day.
