Plaza Alleys, the two Baltimore

Lucille Young. feminine Sensa-
ton Of washington bowlerS this
season, did more than capture her
self two national championships
when she won the N. D. p. B. c.
singles and all-eventS Saturday as
the National tournament closed
at Hartford, Conn.
BY her feat Lucille personally
escorted back to the Capital two
of three national titles for the
year, the other, the women'S
team crown, going to the Lucky
Strike girls. It is the worst show.
ing WaShingtonians have ever
made in the national tournament.
Third Place Best
Not only did the men fail to re-
turn with a championship, but
the best a District entry did was
finish third in the singles and
that was the accomplishment Of
none other than the old sorrel
war-hurse, Walter Edmund Red"
Megaw.
The girls held up their end
nobly. Catherine Quigley pocketed
second singles money, while the
Bill Wood girls finished fifth
among the teams, and Polly Shu-
grue was sixth in the singles.
When the Connecticut Blue
Ribbons won the mems team
diadem, it marked the realization
of o 1O-year-old ambition Of Frank
Barber. Since the tournament
started back in 1927, Frank Bar
her has always had a strong con-
tender for the national team
honors, often the out-and-out "a
vorite, but though his quint in
variably finished in the money,
the title was always won by q
team Of lesser bowlerS with "hot
hands"
None begrudge the WillimAntlc
sportsman his long deferred
laurelS.
