Atcheson and Platak reached
the singles finals last night by de-

marleways. Eddie Espey, of the
Convention Hall EspeyS, is leading
with 656.
The national mixed doubles
event in conjunction with the
eighth annual National Duck Pin
Bowling Congress tournament,
will be in progress all day at
Convention Hall. Aston Clarke
and Evelyn Ellis are leading with

sections of the United States, will
compete in the tournament to-
day.
Ida Simmons, the blonde tor.
nado from Norfolk and the lead
ing candidate for the No. wom-
ems ranking position, will seek
the singles crown.
Miss Florence La Barr. of
Bridgeport, Conn.,, who won the
event last year will not defend
her title tonight because of ILL.,
ness. In fact, Miss La Barr
didn't make the trip to Washing
ton.
Nick Tronsky, ace bowler Of
the Blue Ribbons, will defend his
meas singles title. He shot 453
Ia t year to win it hands down.
Joe Morelli, of Stamford, Conn,
Is favored to retain his all-events
crown. He banged the wooden
bottles for q 1892 total to walk
off with the championship last
year.
Mike Bogino, one Of the Blue
Ribbons boys, believes he can
take Morelli's title if he gets any
kind of a break. Bogino won the
all-events crown two years ago
with 1875.
Richmond is backing Lois Clop'
ton to win the womeA's singles
event. AS you know, Miss Clopton
captured it in 1888 by rolling a
record set Of 397.
Joe Bonigh, one Of the leading
candle pin-rollers in the country,
heads the Boston contingent.
Bonigli does very little duck pin
bowling during the course of the
season, but always manages to
give good account of himself in
the National Tournament.
Baltimore Leads
It looks very much like Balti-
more will win the majority Of
championships in the tourna-
ment. The Monumental City is
leading in five Of the nine events.
washington is ahead in three
and Hartford in one.
Charlie Bauer and Wilmer
Robey, of Baltimore, top the mems

1910. Eli Pickus, of Baltimore,
is leading by one pin in the mems
all-events with 1885; Audrey Null"
laney, of Baltimore, holds the top
rung in the women's all-events
with 1927. Helen Spencer and
Mary Galloway, of Baltimore,
cling to first place in the women's
doubles with sos, and Tivoi No.
/ team, of Baltimore, is leading
in the women's team with 1906.
The Washington entrants lead
ing, are Northeast Temple team,
Lorraine GULL and Aston Clarke
and Evelyn Ellis.
Temple Tops Teams
Northeast Temple is comfort
ably lodged in first place in the
mems team division, with a rec
ord-smashing 1857. Lorraine GULL
is far ahead in the women's
singles with 423 and Aston Clarke
and Evelyn Ellis are leading in
the mixed doubles with 735.
Johnny Waters, of Hartford, is
ahead in the mems singles with

set IN a team match last year.

The fued started in January,
1898, when the Occidentals got
off to a flying start by taking the
five-game lead in the first five
games, only to succumb under an
avalanche of naples the Nut
meggers threw at them in the
second block at Willimantic.
Unable to Win
Since then until last night
Occidentals haven't been able to
even win one block, though this
makes the fourth meeting be,
tween the two teams.
Astor Clarke finished the fire
works last night with a 698 set,
though Capt. Joe Harrison wasn't
idling either, handing in a 667.

doubles and singles.

Of the third game of their sin
giles, only to see the New Haven
Express drum up full steam and
win going away with 149 and

Ribbons Consistent
Consistent bowling gave the
Ribbons the doubles decision,
Nick Tronsky and Jack White
picking up 10 pins in the last
game on Clarke and Harrison to
win by 81.
Clarke was the individual pace
setter with 1905 for 10 games,

lieved in these United States of
America: when opportunity came
his way he took a good hold and
made the grade: he knew rail
roads and railroad supplies and
became the greatest salesman in
the game: he had had course in
SaleSmanship, knew the answers,
the jokes, the approach and sue

genius who made a fortune and

he had a penchant for display
