/
I WOULD like to call to all of our
l comrades attention the following
incident that occurred at our open
membership meeting on the 18th Of
October.
This meeting was a pre- election
meeting combined with a member
ship drive. Every member received
two admittance cards, one for the
member $50 marked and one for
sympathizer or future member.
At the door every sympathizer re-
ceived an application card. Our
! District Secretary made very fine
/ speech, at the end of which he
called on all sympathizers to join
our Party and fill out the applica-
ton card. And now comes the in
Cident to which I would like to call
all the Party members attention.
Next to me was seated a worker
with the application card in one
hand and a pencil in the other. I
could readily see that he was hest
tating He asked me if I was a
Party member. I told him that l
was and asked him to fill out the
card. I told him why to join our
Party He told me that he wants
to talk to the Party member who
brought him to the meeting. 1 in
quired for the comrades name and
sent an usher to get him but the
comrade never showed up. I never
heard of him before and made the
mistake of not trying to find him
myself somehow.
This is a good example of how
not to recruit.
The meeting had to pass motion
that all the members, that is all
the "know-it all" members should
sit down instead of holding a sepa-
rate meeting standing up at the
rear of the hall. I am sure the
comrade who brought this sympa-
thizer was among those holding the
special meetings. His place was sit
ting next to this Sympathizer.

With but three weeks more be-

He has all but eliminated Astor

the money, if statistics mean any
thing.
Leagues 10 Per Cent
League averages count 10 per
cent when the rankers get to work
and sweepstakes and special
matches account for the re-
1nainder. Captain" Joe has a
combined league average of 124
and is averaging about 1913 in spe-
c1al matches. In sweepstakes, he
is second to Clarke who has a de-
cided edge by virtue of his win
ming of The Washington Times
Dixie and the U. S. Sweepstakes.
Blakeney has a combined mark
Of 1872 and is on a par with Clarke
in special matches. He runs third
in sweepstakes. Sweet" Astor is
lowering around 121 and of course
has the sweepstakes honors locked
up.
Brad Mandley is another who
is going good, having a 1872 average
but has not done much in sweep
stakes or special matches.
Ollie Pacini, present No. / bowler
OF the city and the United States,
is also very much in running with
1872 average in the District and
Temple Major Leagues, a special
match average of 125, and a gen.
eral sweepstakes average of 121.
Sam Simon would probably be
pushing the leaders more had he
participated in more sweepstakes
and special matches. He is aver
aging 122 but the Howard Camp
bell (Which he won) and the
George Washington were the only
stakes that claimed his attention.
Paul Harrison is up there with
a 122 average but his sweepstakes
work doesn't begin to show his
true worth. Others who are going

There was color in his stance,
the manner he glared at the
pins, in his delivery and there
was plenty of color in his Ian
guage whenever he missed a
spare! Sometime he would pull
his hair, kick the railing or
threaten to kill the pin-boy!
From his debut on the drives
around 1905 until he quit shortly
after the World War, he at
tracted attention more because
of his personal glamour and
antics than for his bowling,
though that was of high caliber.
He was duckpin's Pepper" Mar
tin.
Nor has the game boasted a
man who took duckpins so seri-
ously. "Skinny's" Irish heart
couldn't bear defeat. Tears
would creep into his blue eyes
when his team lost a tough
match.
His constant stream of chatter
and wise cracks rooted the IA
nous Royal team home against
stiff opposition in many matches.
He was always full of pepper
and fight.
Fists Never Flew
Many times his remarks got
under the skin of opponents and
a fight seemed imminent, but
fists never flew. "Skinny's" gen.
ial smile would calm ruffled tenn
pers.
In actual bowling he could be
counted on in a pinch. In the
Royal-Roanoke match of 1922,
Skinny" pounded out a 159
game, the highest ever rolled in
the five-year long series by a
Washington man, to boost his
team to victory after it had
fallen behind.
Only Harry Krauss rolled more
often in that famous series than
skinny" Harry rolled all SO
games, while sickness forced
Skinny" out of one match.
Bucket of Blood" Section
Carroll was born in the "Bucket
of Blood" section of Southwest
Washington on November 81
1884, and graduated from Jeffer'
son School. He then worked for
81 years in the Navy Yard, later
became a produce salesman at
the Center Market and is now
running the Green Oaks eating
place on the Maryland Pike.
His roofing ability won imme'
diate recognition in his youth
and the renowned Vigilante
eleven, which dominated local
gridiron circles for years prior
to the war, made him assistant
manager just to have him root
them to victory.
Bowling was the only sport at
which he amounted 70 shucks
as a participant and in that
game he became preeminent. Nc

Carroll began his bowling ca
reer in the Navy Yard Tenpln
League and that league was one
of the first to turn to duckplns.
He joined the District League In
it's second season and also rolled
in the National Capital for many
years.
He was the lead-off man on the
subways team which won the first

Ignored Averages
However, Skinny" never careo

"We didn't worry about aver.

wanted to win. 1t was all team

Or Not When Vic Ripley
Scored the First Goal

should have come on with that
break to sew it up for fair and
make the play offs safe for Amer
ica. For a few brief minutes the
team from Montreal was frustrated
and groggy and when the other
guy is reeling is the time to let
him have it.
Patrick and his vets, of course,
knew that and it must be said
of them that they fired all their
guns. For the next five minutes
they bombed Goal Tender Kerr
like the Germans bombed Ver-
dun-and to no more successful
end.
Carom Off Post
Twice johnson took free shots
that caromed off the posts, and
the same thing happened to
hoist from Bunny Cook and
Boucher, when they had chance
to clinch it beyond recall.
Saturday night Lester Patrick
was on the air with us. After
the broadcast, we stopped to
pledge a little toast to Ranger
victory, and as we did that, Les
ter said:
"If we don't hit those posts
too often tomorrow night we
should win. The boys are all
in fine shape. Almost too
good. It makes me q little
nervous not to have anything
go wrong in one of these play
offs. Makes me feel as II the
luck might be going to run
out on me. You know the
law of averages is working
against us this year, and I'm
a great believer in the law Of
averages"
Massed Attack
With Ripley's goal the big
crowd settled down to enjoy the
remainder of the game. But be-
fore the period was over, a
massed attack before the Ranger
cage had given a young man
named Robinson chance to
poke the disc past Aitkenhead
and knot the count.
In other years. with their
chance at the play-off money
now swinging in the balance,
that would have been the signal
for the Rangers to come ripping
and tearing to regain their lost
advantage. But once more on
even terms and still as good as
the other fellow on the score.
board, some of their confidence
seemed to desert 'em. Suddenly
they were a little tired, a little
confused, a trifle worried. And
then in the fourth period the
"Swiss Family" Robinson swept
in another one off an assist by
the Blinking Blinco, and that
was the pay ball. Aitkenhead
played we'll. The Broadway wise
boys overlaid the price to make
the Rangers IL to S favorites
