BY DANNY GILL
While the Washington Times
Ladies Dixie Sweepstakes, which
will be held tomorrow, is expected
to develop into a battle royal"
little private scrap is also in the
offing.
AS the defending champion,
Lotta Janowitz, of Baltimore, No.
2 ranking national woman duck
pin star, will bear the brunt Of
the attack, which always finds
the underdogs swapping at the
one on the top of the heap.
Pitted against her title defense
will be Lorraine Gulli, Washing
tons pride, and the only woman
to rank ahead of the Dixie champ
on the national list.
Alice DlugO Threat
But the real threat to spill the
dope is Alice Dlugo, of Bridge
port, Conn, who is accorded the
rank of No. / honorary bowler Of
the United States by the National
Duckpin Bowling Congress. Be-
cause she does not have sufficient
league games to give her a place
on the ranking list, the N. D. P.
B. C. has placed her at the top
of list of 30 women in a similar
plight.
According to George L. Ise-
mann, N. D. P. B. c. secretary,
Miss Dlugo is the nearest ap-
proach to Queen Lorraine local
fans will see for some time. In
winning the 1888 Connecticut
State Sweepstakes, she showed
her true colors with a 700 set
made up of sets of 1874 and 366.
She placed fifth in the 1888
Ladies All-Events championship
with a 1856 set, and seventh in
the U. S. Ladies' Individual cham
pionship with a 372 set.
Hold Records
Lotta Janowitz and Margaret
Holiday, also of Baltimore, and
Dixie entry, have the high sin
gle game and high three-game set
doubles records. They rolled a
273 game at the National Tourna-
ment in Hartford, Conn.,, with
Miss Janowitz having a 141 game
and Miss Holiday 1872, and then
spilled TAT pins for the record set.
Miss JanoWitz rolled a 1927 set
to win the Dixie and placed sew.
enth in the U. S. doubles, pound
ing out 365 set, which, with j.
Maher, of Hartford's 358 gave
them 723 set, four pins behind
Lorraine GULL and Freddie Moore,
of washington.
Although we haven't heard
much about her here, a towns
woman Of Alice Dlugo's may pro-
vide some real fireworks. She is
Christine Kirk, who holds the
New England record with a Alb
set, made up of IA, 149 and 100
games, and who is seventh on the
honorary list. Another star from
the Nutmeg State is Mrs. Char
lotte Clark, about whom no data
lis available, but who surely isn't
making the long trip to Washing.
ton without some thoughts OF
carrying away the prize.
Former Norfolk Star
Charlotte, N. c., will be repre-
Sented by Catherine Wall Wick,
No. 6 bowler, who formerly called
Norfolk her home.
She holds the three game set
honors with a 424 mark, her
games being 129, 146 and 149.
