STAR TEAM Of '29
TO BOWL ORIOLES
Singles, Doubles and CUNT
Matches Are Slated for
Baltimore Sunday.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN.

N 1SBANDED for two years,
the original Washington
IL Juniors-though actually
juniors" no longer-are
returning to the duckpin wars in
search of new laurels.
Under circumstances strangely
similar to those under which they
made an unheralded but sensa-
tional debut in 1929, the Juniors
they will keep their old mon
icker-will stage their first come
back attempt Sunday in Balti-
more against the Monumental
City's five leading pinmen in
what promises to be one of the
most attractive intercity matches
of the current pin-toppling
campaign.
There have been greater duckpin out
| fits on paper than the Juniors when
| they were taking on all comers in 1929,
| 1880 and 1881, but the lineup composed
Of Eddie ESpey, Johnny Anderson, Jack
Wolstenholme, Hokie Smith and Paul
Harrison, had gobs of something other
| bowling clubs couldn't match-team
spirit. A backslapping, rah-rah bunch,
| they struck and spared their way to one
victory after another. finally disbanding
when there were no more worlds to
| conquer.
Now they're coming back And be-
fore this pin season is ended the Juniors
may be responsible for working up
Washington's maple colony into some
thing resembling lather
Juniors Greatness Unforeseen.
1T WAS Ben McAlwee. energetic
scorer of the Capitals standout
| bowling loops, who was responsible
for the organization of the original
Juniors. Ben gathered the quintet at
! the outset not because he visioned an
unbeatable combination, but because
each was still shy of voting age and
was a promising bowler
What the Juniors accomplished was Q
revelation even to their sponsor Through
accident possibly the most spirited and
successful duckpin combine Of the last
decade was formed. It was this spirit
which prompted them TO forsake rolling
| in competition against other junior
teams and tackle the seniors.
And the same spirit, plus honest-to-
goodness pin-toppling skill, carried them
to victory over every outstanding duck
pin outfit in this section of the country.
| Only once were they beaten in a 10
game match and it took the greatest
OF all pin teams, the Connecticut Blue
Ribbons, to turn the trick
| One Of the many victimized bands
was the Howard Campbell All-Stars,
composed Of Astor Clarke, Red Megaw,
| Earl McPhilomy, Ollie Pacini and
| Campbell himself This stellar lineup
| bowed to McAlwee's crew by 400 pins
OriOle Pinmen Formidable Band.
NfORE calloused to bowling fame
| lNl now. 1t will be interesting to
watch the Juniors in their
| comeback to ascertain whether they
can exhibit the old fight and spirit
and repeat their previous triumphs. In
the Baltimore All-Stars they will be
| opposing five OF the leading pinmen
hereabout.
Strangely enough. when the Juniors
return TO action Sunday it will be on
the same alleys where they made their
debut as team-the Recreation drives
In OrioletoWn. And two of the ALL
Stars to be opposed Sunday rolled
against them in 1929 They are Charlie
Bauer and Dawson Snyder. who will be
aided in the forthcoming match by
Myer Jacobson, Harry Schreck and Doc
| Pickus.
| The team match will be rolled at
night. In the afternoon. preceding the
! battle, Hokie Smith will shoot the
Orlole representative in singles and
the doubles teams of Harrison and
Espey. and Anderson and Wolsten-
holme. will tackle a pair of the
Monumental Citys best duos.
