Match
BY SID KATZNELL

Russell Spilman's stock in the
local duckpin market is selling at
q new high today after his sensa-
tional shooting last night.
Rolling with Kirby's Service
team in the Rosslyn Independent
League, Spilman spilled the naples
for a 1856 game and 410 set to walk
off with individual honors.
Spilman wasn't the only star
In the RosSlyn circuit. Brad

paigner, turned in 396 set to
lead Cooke Press to a three-game
victory over Windridge and Handy.
Lorraine GULL, who bowls with
Astor Clarke Saturday at Lucky
Strike against Ida Simmons and
Ray Won Dreele, clearly demon
strated that she is in excellent
condition for the match by rolling
q 1870 in the washington Ladies
League. Simmons and Won Dreele
defeated GULL and Clarke only last
Sunday at Silver Spring by AZ
pins, and the local pair is deter.
mined to win this one or they

nant, with the cold black figures
revealing his part in the terrific
battle toward the World Series.
AS the top hand in Slugging,
his percentage was .588, with
Dolph Camilli Of the. Philadel-
phia Phils and Johnny Mize and
Joe Medwick of the St. Louis
Cardinals all in a virtual dead
lock for second place.
Otis record cracking had to do
with his driving in 100 or more
runs for the eighth time. Previ-
ously he and Pie Traynor Of the
Pittsburgh Pirates were tied in
this respect at seven seasons.
Besides outslugging the rest
and setting the home run pace
the latter totalling 33-a re-
capitulation of Otis perform
ances shows he was among the
first 10 hitters, with an average
Of .327; runner-up in runs batted
in, with 1876 to Medwick's 1873:
also second to Medwick in total
bases, with 314 to 367, and third
in fielding.
These latest figures revealing
Medwick as the runs batted in
champion and in a virtual tie for
second place in slugging, simply
confirm what previously was indi-
cated-that he was just about the
best all.around hitter in the
circuit, although OFT was close
and Paul Waner of the Pirates
compiled the highest batting
average.
A couple of other "tops," today's
figures show, were Arky Vaughan
of the Pirates, who, for the third
straight season received the most
bases on balls, 118, and Wilbur
Brubaker of the same club, who
famed the most times, 96. Pau.
Waner, likewise of the Pirates,
had the best eye, striking out on
only five occasions.
Then you come to Babe Herman
of the Cincinnati Reds, who few
seasons ago hit into a triple play
with a three-baSe hit.
It wasn't quite that bad this
time. Here merely tied with
B~ubaker in hitting into the most
double plays in a single game,
each doing it three times on one
afternoon.
And that, by the way, tied the
all-time record.

ern been defeated, 1t would have
been the first set back for Eastern

With only five seconds of the
game left to play, Eastern was
trailing, 21-21. An over-anxiouS
st. Johns player fouled and Chick
Golley scored the tying point with
his free throw.
For a great part Of the game,
st. Johns outplayed the inter

A capacity crowd witnessed the

FISHING
(AccOrding to
Iz10k WGLtOn)

Mr.. Charles E. Parker, vice presi-
dent Of the Aeronautical Chamber
of Commerce, with headquarters
here in Washington, attended the
recent air maneuverS in Miami.
He also tried his hand at Gulf
Stream fishing. Not a Sailfish
rose to his lure, but several dolphin
did. One large one, in particular,
battled him almost to a standstill
before he broke the line and got
away after an hours flight. His
catch included several bonito and
a smaller dolphin.
Larry Richey and former Presi.
dent Herbert Hoover are back
after enjoying a trip in the Miami
sector, spending day after day,
from early morning to late eve
ming, on the blue waters of the
stream. No reports as yet from
Larry, but it is a foregone con-
clusion that they boated a few,
because this fishing is an old story
to both.
A local feminine angler, Mrs
Beatrice Crawford, outpointed ali
the rest of her party. recently, by
boating the only sailfish Of the
trip. This trick of the ladies has
become quite ordinary during the
last several years; up here as well
as down there. You fellows will
have to watch your laurels, because
they are going after your sport In
really big way.
Two fish of a more than rare
species were brought in to No. 5
dock this month. One, a marble
grouper, was but the second to be
caught anywhere. It Is being
mounted by AL Pfleuger. The
other, a long-tailed sunfish, caught
on the reefs and weighing 81
pounds, was sent to the American
Museum in New York for study
and mounting.
An Allison tuna Of 1874 pounds
not so far from the record weight
and the eighteenth to be caught
in Miami waters over a period o1
many years, was the luck oi
another angler Of the fair sex.
The strike and initial run oi
these fish occur almost in the
same breath. So savage anc
speedy are they that it Is little
wonder that so few are caught
The line is nearly always broken
