his present brilliant rolling
or some sensational pin
mauling on the part of
either Joe Harrison or Ollie Pacini
can rob Bill KrauSs, the Occidental
Restaurant sharpshooter, of the indi-
vidual championship of the District
League and an all-time high average
mark for the all-star circuit
Shooting a sparkling 377 set at Con-
vention Hall last night, Krauss fat
tened his record average two sticks to
take commanding lead Of 78 pins
over Harrison, who had the misfor-
tune to roll a low 339 when he ran
into many splits at Lucky Strike.
As result, Krauss hiked his
average to 1896 for IS games.
while Harrison dipped his mark
to 124-23. losing 33 pins.
With Earl McPhilomy's all-time rec
ord of 124-41 as the mark to beat,
Krauss needs three sets the equal of
a lib average to establish a new rec
ord. Harrison must shoot at 1877
pace to break the old mark.
OccidentaIs Still Lead.
THE Occidentals still are in front
on total pins, although deadlocked
with Heurich Brewers with 48 games
won out of rs rolled, while Rose
Liquor Store broke the three-Way tie
by losing two games to Lucky Strike.
It turned out the leaders. as pre-
dicted, had no set-ups as they faced
the second division teams. Krauss
featured the Occidentals 81 decision
over Arcadia with his bang-up 377,
while Astor Clarke aided with 369
Heurich Brewers had to roll for
dear life to win two games from
Georgetown Recreation. The Defend
ing champions copped the first tussle
handily when Sam Simon shot 178
but dropped the middle skirmish, 592
to 514.
Then Simon and Bill Clampitt
rescued the final game by four
pins with some timely spare
counting.
Jack Talbert was the big gun in
the Luckies, 81 win from Rose Liquor
Store with 160 and 393, but Joe
Freschi and Henry May made it a
real battle when the former moved
the naples for a 42O set, reeling off
games Of l48, al and 131, while the
latter shot 370.
Despite Gene Hargett's 408, Wash
ington Brewery was beaten, 81,
by Convention Hall. Eddie Espey's 3g9,
incidentally his high set of the sea-
son, supplied the telling punches for
the Hallmen. Pacini, the Washing
ton Brewery anchor man, had just
cause for complaint when he count
ed 1858 with IA spares.
League Enters Tourney.
THE Recreation League will enter
the Washington City Duckpin As
sociation tournament in a body, Perce

secutive years of rolling since the as

Cracking his own record for the
season by three pins with 420 set,
Pete Turner was the handspring when
the Benmacks registered two team
marks in the National Capital League.
With 654 and 1870, the
league runners-up cut the Daily
