| home with the pork in The
IL Evening Star bowlin G
tournament, but it was a
wild chase. 1t required one of
the outstanding performances of
a remarkable career to stave off
the rushes of Evelyn Ream and
Marie Whalen, who, until the
final frame, were desperate chal-
lengers.
With 5-game set of 607, Miss Gulli
smashed by many sticks the girl record
for The Star tournament. Mrs. Ream,
who holds the District mark for a
league set. was only nine pins behind
and Mrs Whalen, 13.
Mrs. Ream, with 159, established
tournament record for single string.
It was a thrilling battle from the
third game on, with Miss GULL trailing
as the fifth string got under way. 1t
was here the queen of duckpin shooters
proved her right to the throne. Bear
ing down as she seldom has before,
Lorraine shot game of 136 as Mrs
Ream, the reaction Of her record score
doubtlessly detrimental, Sloughed to SO
uIiO AAo. WAuACA W oOs
Few Girls Yet to Shoot.
CEVERAL girls remain to roll, with
- the tournament closing tonight, but
none is believed capable, at her
keenest of ousting Miss GULL Mrs.
Ream or Mrs. Whalen from the first
three places, which carry cash prizes Of
$50 $40 and $50 with gold medal
also for the champion.
Miss CULTS GOT is believed to be the
highest five-game score ever rolled by
a girl in any tournament, but it was
not the largest to her credit for gen.
eral competition. In mixed doubles
match she notched a count of 637 Her
record for 10 games is 1896 and her
best average for a full season 1852,
a national mark which she may Shatter
this season. Her present pace in the
Washington Women's League is 116.
BeSs Hoffman, who dragged down SIS
apiece for high game and high set OF
the preliminaries, was serious threat
last night during the first three games,
in which she totaled 355. Then little
Bess lost control. but with a final count
of 534 she figures to collect another
prize.
One Squad Rolls Tonight.
n DESS ACKMAN, the only other be-
r. sides Miss GULL to win two Star
tournaments, made brave try to
add another. Her score of SAL was
three sticks under the mark that gave
her the 1880 event and five better
than her winning total in 1881. She
was tied last night by Esther Burton,
with A. Dorsey going both six pins
better, but with a handicap OF II
against the others scratch.
Only one squad will roll tonight, at
7:30 o'clock, and some Of those listed
hope to finish in time to take in part
of the National Duckpin Bowling Con-
gress sweepstakes at the Arcadia, the
final block Of which will start at 8
O'Clock.
While the girls we're scorching the
maplewayS at the Lucky Strike last
night, several male members of the
tournament were shooting scores that
ordinarily would have commanded lots
of attention. R. Bean put on double
strike finish for a set of 653, which
landed him in fourth place. W. Werntz
shot 631 and Noble Veirs, ST., and Bob
Howard each had 63J to become pros
pective prize winners. Sam Benson's
lumbago let up long enough for him to
scratch 623. All the other high scorers
were aided by handicapS.
