~ son, Baltimore's outstanding
a bowler, grabbed a 78-pin lead
over Aston Clarke, washington ace, at
Convention Hall yesterday in the first
half Of 20-game match, which will
be concluded today in Baltimore.
Practically sewing up the days roll
ing as early as the fourth game Of the
afternoon set, when he shot a sensa-
tional ITO, jacobson finished with a
total Of 1,330-669 for the first five
games and 66l for the last
Clarke, whose 1852 was two pins
less than his current District League
average, put together sets Of 629 and
623 for total Of 1882. He got OF to
a 24-pin lead In the first three games,
but Jacobson's big fourth game proved
the sturning point of the day. His So
pin margin in that one game alone
turned his early deficit into a 29-pin
lead which Clarke never approached.
Gains in Both Blocks,
THE winner divided the accumula-
ton Of his margin almost equally
between the afternoon and evening
rounds, going out to dinner with 40
pin advantage and adding 80 more
pins to his favor in the evening. Clarke
suffered through two low games In the
second five, hitting the depths with a
LOG in the eighth game and a l09 in
the tenth. Jacobson's slump" to ll2
in the final game was all that prevent
ed his advantage from climbing even
more.

standing. while he swept the alleys
clean with three balls in the tenth

Jacobson made only four more spares
during the evening than Clarke, but
he was far more effective in his count
ing on his As than was the local star
on his Al. jacobson made 8 strikes
compared to Clarke's 3.

ODDLY enough, the loser had the
better percentage for pins left
standing than did his conquerer.
During the afternoon Clarke left but
one-half as many pins on the alleys
as his opponent, who failed to knock
down 80 out Of 500 in the five games.
At night, Clarke left but 10. In figures
Clarke's percentage in this respect was
96.l out of possible 1000. compared
to Jacobson's 95.8.
