That's the way the duckpin
shooters down at the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration do It,
Hardly had the Supreme Court
Justices uttered the fatal words
, which made the Triple-A q New
Deal memory, when the bowlers Of
the two Triple-A leagues, Day Shift
and Night Shift, threatened with
q heavy loss of personnel, immedi-
ately went about reorganizing both
circuits.
The Day Shift loop, whose IL
teams bowled on Mondays at 10
o'clock, reformed as an eight-team
league and has already opened its
schedule at the Lucky Strike alleys
on Saturdays at 2 p. m.
The Night Shift, which wound
up its schedule last week, Is COM
pleting plans to reorganize six or
eight three-men teams and con-
tinue to the end Of the season on
Wednesday afternoons at p. m.
The Night Shift officers are Col
Inns Lamb, president; John Auch-
ter, vice president, and Hymie
Schecter, Secretary-treaSurer.
Lamb Wins Stakes
Lamb annexed the sweepstakes
which closed the league WedneS-
day. by turning in a 403 set, in
cluding 80 pin handicap.
Luther E.. Jack" Narrower, fond
Of the duckpin sport and amply
supplied with organizing genius,
was : largely responsible for the
formation of the two leagues. In
the fall Of 1888, narrower got up
. bowling team in hts own office
and challenged other Triple-A de-
partmentS to do battle. Soon six
or seven teams we're battling it out
in special matches.
In the fail Of 1884 the Night
Shift formed loop and enjoyed
q successful season. The past
fall the Day Shift also leaped
into the. fray with q 14-team roS-
ter: while the Night Shift climbed
to IL. narrower K is temporarily
acting as general supervisor Of
the Day Shift books and records
until new officers are elected.
He sports Q :113 average.
The old officers were Fred
Compton, president: Ed wa I'd
Stephenson, treasurer, and
Happy" Bridw ell, secretary
scorer.
The Day Shift circuit has most
of its standout performers back
in its 1ineups. Some Of them are
Fred Compton, John Courtney
Dick Smith, Jack Narrower,
Champ" Wilson, Pop" Yeager,
Earl Bridwell, jr., Paul Blackmerr
John Thompson, Francis HILL
Lou Shields, Jack Hagan, Eddie
AndruS, Al Lahore, Mac" Nc
Dougal and Honest John" E.
DWyer.-
''Ginny" Calvagno is trying to
make her N. E. Temple girls
fighting mad over the weekend
for their match with the New
Liberty Cab pinetteS at wilkins
Alleys, in Baltimore, Sunday.
'Ginny" Speaks Piece
The Cab-girlS have yet to lose
q match this season, including a
victory over the Temples.
"Yeah," says "Ginny," ''but
that was before Kay Burns hit
her stride. Ruth Moran, Ida
weinberg, Mildred MiskeIly and
yours. truly are all improved,
too" ...'
However, duckpin experts can't
see them doing much damage to a
lineup which includes Helen Spen
Ger, Catherine Manner, Mary Gal
loway, Marie Brown and Frances
Krieg, but duckpins is funny
game.
Hole League all-Stars, led by
Clarence Fling, are primed and
ready for the opening block Of
their battle with the Agriculture
League All-Stars at Columbia
tomorrow at 7:30 p. m. The final
block will take place at Rosslyr
Sunday at 2:3O p. m. Chet Lind
strom and Harry Dicken are ex
pected- to shine for the Aggies.
Good on Short Game
