OriOle BOWlers
Invade TakOma
Dixie Stakes
Threats Hold
Spotlight
MATCH SUNDAY
BY GINO SINH

Takoma Park will bask in .
glaring duckpin spotlight Sunday
night when five Of Baltimore'S
bluebloods of the drives, Rintoul
All-Stars, put in appearance for
the first leg of home and home
clash with Red Megaw's Tru-Blu
cohorts. The cannonading COM
mences at 7:30 sharp.
What makes this rip-snorting
match more rip-snorting than
usual is the fact that The Wash
ington Times Mems Dixie Sweep
stakes will be less than a week
away and Capital fans can cast
their rheuny glimS upon five
Orioles who will be on the firing
lines when the gun pops for the
Dixie.
ROBEY MONEY MAN
How 'rhot" are Baltimoreans so
far this season? Sunday nights
match will knock a bit of frosting
off the cake so that you can get
a glance at what is inside.
Top place when money bowl
ing" is discussed concerning men,
berS of the Rintoul aggregation
goes to Wilmer Robey. Wilmer
pops 'em hardest when the "gelt"
is on the line. Less than a step
behind him is Ray Won Dreele, the
ancient Flying Dutchman, who
won't hang up his shoes until he
has won the Dixie crown. linen
there are Ray Haines, Art Felters
and Lee Seim, who are nobody'S
pushovers when it comes to smack
ing the head-pin effectively. -
Against this quintet Red is
throwing his powerful crew Of Ed
die Keith, Frank MiSchou, Gene
Hargett, Ollie Pacini and, Of
course, the Megaw man himself.
In reserve, Red has Louie Jen-
kins, who is well on his way to be-
ing the young sensation Of the
year.
JENKINS SENSATION
Jenkins seems unable to roll un.
der 100. Last Saturday he won
the Halloween Sweepstakes at Ia
koma against a stellar field and
he has machine-gunned 800 sets
almost on every appearance in
league competition.
SO while the fans and sexpoits"
glimpse and consider the possi-
bilities OF the five Oriole invaders
in the Dixie, they will also sit in
on six townsmen who are distinct
threats in that classic event. d.
Pacini was the first Dixie cham
pion and Megaw lost the second
Dixie crown to Ray Barnes by
virtue OF a last box strike.
To make certain that the wit
nesses to the fact will have plenty
of material on which to base
their Speculations, Megaw will gar
nish the five game set-to with
singles and doubles with Pacini
facing Robey in the man to man
competition and Megaw and Pa
cini tuSsling with Haines and
Seim in the doubles.
The Dixie opens at the Arcade
at II a. M, Saturday, November
13. Fifty Of the country's top
flight bowlers will vie for larrels.

SMART FROCKS USE
LAVISH EMBROIDERY

A craze for embroidery is on.
Some of the smartest newest wool
ems for daytime frocks and for the
stylish little separate jackets and bo-
leros and for waistcoats and blouses
are embroidered with an allover
scattering of tiny motifs or perhaps
with forals arranged in the popular
striped effects.
Knitted fashions also reflect the
flair for embroidery in that they
carry flowers and designs done in
bright yarns showing peasant infu-
ence.
The black dress that has gor-
geous bouquet embroidered like
corsage at either the waistline or
shoulder is a winsome number. Any
woman who can embroider could be
the happy possessor of fetching
dress like this for to "embroider
your own" requires but little effort.
Evening fashions fairly scintillate
with dazzling embroideries. Short
sleeves, allover sequin-embroidered,
enrich black velvet dinner gowns.
Embroidery is done on lace on
tulle, on velvet ribbons that girdle
the waist and so on and so on the
story of embroidery is endless this
season. Even the simplest linen,
cotton or wool day dress is apt to
yield to the present urge for hand
stitchery of some fanciful sort.
