The Washington times., 1935-12-16


The two youngsters, though
bowlerS Of no mean ability in their
own circles, were not rated one
two with some of combinations
they had to face.
Novices in big league bowling,
they behaved like veterans Of a
thousand sweepstakes, sweeping to
the title with q tremendous final
effort as the battle-scarred team
of Astor Clarke and Joe Harrison
faltered.
1t was left for Spillman to add
an anticlimax when with victory
only matter of a few pins, he
slid No. and 5 for a spare in the
tenth box on a ninth frame
strike and filled it with a hefty
count to win by nine pins!
Spillman was sensational
throughout. After rolling TOT in
the first block, it appeared as If
he had shot his bolt when he
could muster only 100 for his sixth
game, but he soon stepped into
high gear, totally $50 for his last
four games. His last four games
of his first set was $50. He had
424 for his opening three.
Four $50 Games
Spillman had four $50 games,
the last game being Isl. His
1859 is a new ten-game record for
Rhn a1ya,ot Dncc,e 7h7 cat ic tho
second highest in five years.
Paul Jarman, who jumped into
the limelight last month by set
ting the pace for the first block
in the Dixie Sweepstakes only to
fade out later, had an excep-
tional bit of luck in being paired
off with Spillman. Originally
Spillman was to have teamed with
Gait Davis, but a last-minute
change found Gait with Milton
Monk" Walker, and Jarman
getting the break" The Vienna
flash struggled during the first
block for $50. but in the second
block he popped in two 141 games
to contribute a GIG set.
Roll S55 Set
Clarke and Harrison had the
spectators wild as they pounded
the naples for 855 during the
seventh. eighth and ninth games.
climaxing the drive with q 317
game to grab a 23-pin lead and
apparently clinch the title at the
end of the ninth game. In the
drive to the from, Clarke had q
465 set, with gaI.leS Of I'll, 143
and ISL, during those three hectic
strings. But the pace had been
too much and Jarman and Spill
man picked up 80 pins to forge
ahead. Clarke hung up new high
individual game event mark Of
I'll, with seven spares and one
strike, had high set, 684, for the
second block, and second high
team game set for the event. Har-
rison's main contribution was a
166 game to their BIT doubles
game.
Joe Freschi and Ollie Pacini also
provided their share Of drama
when they ripped off a 305 game
as a final effort to snatch third
money out Of the grasp Of Red
Megaw and Ray Won Dreele. 1t
was Pacini'S triple-header and nine
count which brought the big game
for this pair, Ollie handing in a
1852 and Joe 143.
Blow Chances
Freschi and Pacini only four
pins behind Jarman and Spillman
after the first block blew" their
chances in the sixth and seventh
games. Their total was model
of consistency. Freschi had 1885,
Pacini 1850, but Ollie had much
trouble in the first set, two ISL
games saving him.
Wayne "Hokie" Smith, one Of
the defending champions, also
flashed when he smashed out a
1853 game, second highest in the
history of the doubles. The for
mer champs, Smith and Howard
Parsons, placed sixth, just behind
Dutch Newman and Bill Krauss.
"OttS" Ehlers and Andy Baum
gartner, two happy-go-lucky Balti-
moreans, achieved their ambition
and that was not to finish last.
Their 1928 was better than three
