After Another Mark,

A ND we almost forgot to mention
that young Bill, if he shoots better
than 400 next Thursday, will hang up
a District League record for 400 sets
rolled in season. He has eight and
needs one more to top the mark
established by Whip Ltchf1eld in
1933-34. Ben McAlwee, editor of the
Duckpin Record, is delving into mass
of figures to determine whether Krauss
hasn't created an all-time record for
rolling 400 sets in general competition
In a single campaign. His whoppers
are not conned to the District loop.
AS the result of a lot of hustling by
Arville Ebersole, secretary of the w. C..
D. A., no less than 388 teams are en-
tered in the city tournament, which is
SO more than came in last year. Not
all, however, are expected to roll. Last
season 296 of the 335 entries showed
up.
Singularly, little more than third
of this years team entries came from
suburban plants, with Gait Davis at
Rosslyn as usual supplying the biggest
group from the minor places. He
turned in 81 teams, and was trailed
by Silver Spring with 33.
Convention Hall led the major alleys

that he is the best there is, followed
in hit-or-miss order by the rest of the

There is refreshing shyness about

Anyway, Mr.. Hank Marino, the
world champion, still has to compete
in the current A. B. c. tournament,
and his fans and hackers are hoping
that he will give better display than
Varipapa and Falcaro. The odds are
against it, but the Marino mob is in

fever runs high. If he carves his way

Blakeney at Convention Hall, when
ODonnell Restaurant bowlers emptied
the pockets of the Seagram Stars of

record from Astor who, in this sea-
sons Campbell Sweepstakes, shot a

Clarke electrified a big gallery at
Rosslyn by shooting a score of 100 in
the seond string, which put him in
the running for the title. With 14s
in the first and lib in the third,
his total for the first three games was
456. In the fourth he shot 139 and in
the final, 1877, which was 10 pins
more than he needed to beat out Joe

CHAMP IS ON SPOT
IN A. B. c. TUSSLE
Worlds Best Match Bowler
Hopes to Escape Fate
of Fallen Stars,
BY JOHN LARDNER.

n YEW YORK, April 17.-Hank
nj Marino bowls tomorrow. That's
what the out-of-town addicts
a at the national tenpin tour
nament Of the American Bowling Con-
gress are waiting for, and the New
York nuts, though they manage to
look very nonchalant about it, are
waiting for the same thing. So is
Mr.. Hank Marino.
Mr.. Marino is the world match game
bowling champion. It's been a long
time since any world champion won a
title at the A. B. c. tournament, be-
cause the A. B. c. meet is a great
leveller, wherein run-of- the mine
bowler from Hoositsville, with no
record to speak Of and no business in
fast company is likely to get hot over
a stretch Of nine games and beat the
best in the country. And the best
bowlers are apt to be cold. Nine
games are no test of greatness.
You can get plenty testimony to
that effect from Mr.. Chesty Joe
Falcaro and Mr.. Andrew Varipapa,
to name just couple nationally
famous bowling stars. Mr.. Falcaro
and Mr.. Varipapa were both cold in
the present tournament. You will not
find their names in the list Of leaders
in any event. Yet Mr.. Falcaro and
Mr.. Varipapa will tell you, quite
frankly, that they are the best bowlers
in the world.

competition embracing host of
teams, doubles and singles, with the
singles, slated at O'Clock, opening
a pin shooting party that will endure

District League, recently won the
national doubles championship at

Clarke is the No l ranking duck
pinner of the United States and
krauss rot only has cinched the
District league individual title but
virtually is conceded an all-time
record for average in the Capitals
If not the country's, strongest league.
Record Is a Cinch.
NEXT Thursday night at Conven.
ton Hall the Occidental team
will finish its season in match with
the Hall and Krauss will need a
mere 3l2 pins 10 crack the District
League record rolled by Earl Nc.
Philomy in 1898, namely, 124-41
for 80 games. Krauss' current aver.
age is 1924 for 81 strings.
And if the Occidentals win one o1
their three games with Convention
Hall, Krauss ami Clarke will share
another honor-that of being members
of a champion team, for the Fred
Buchholz standard bearers need only
one game to sew up the pennant.
This is banner season, indeed, fol
the 26-year -old Krauss who, by the
way, is on the verge Of making his
family the first to produce two District
League champions. He is a brother Of
the once incompatible Harry Krauss
who won the title three times, record
equalled only by McPhilomy.

orders to prevent recurrence of street

jured and many taxis damaged in the

Chicago's most serious labor outbreak
in several years.
All leaves of absence and vacations
for policemen were Cancelled pending
settlement Of the strike for higher
commissions of more than a thousand
drivers f." the Yellow and Checker

Cabs were withdrawn from streets
from midnight to 7 am. today after
new outbursts of violence between
working chauffeurs and strike SYM
pathizers.
Two cabs were burned and a striker
suffered bullet wound in the leg in
affrays last night.
Earlier in the day several hundred

burned cabs in the downtown business
section. Thousands of office workers
and shoppers witnessed the disorders.
Police arrested 20 men and estimated
as many persons had been injured.
Strike misunderstanding"
At Detroit sleepy-eyed clerks who
staged 10-hour sit-down strike in
a department store, focal point for a
hasty mobilization OF 300 policemen,
protested 1t was "all a mistake" as
they prepared to return to work to-
day.
The first of the strike group, which
included preponderance of young
women, abandoned their sit-down
siege of the Frank 81 Seder Co. store
at 1:30 am. Others followed them as
rapidly as an assistant corporation
counsel could take their statements.
Police Supt. Fred w. Frahm ex-
planned police wanted to know whether
organizers had seized the store in a.
raid" and said warrants would be
requested if the indications were that
they had taken possession Of the
property illegally. Statements also
were expected to disclose whether CO.
ercion had been employed to induce
workers to join the strike.
Frank K. Martel, head Of the Detroit
and Wayne County Federation of
Labor, announced the strike was due
to misunderstanding" of conditions
within the store. The agreement pro-
vlded for continuation of wage and
hour negotiations which Martel said
were in progress when the sit-down
was called. The management agreed
there would be no discrimination
against strikers when work resumed
