UnknOWn Duckpin Stars
Threats in Times Classic
to
Send New
Sensations
CREEDLE SHINES
By GINO SIM

The old order passes.
The world, people, names,
change constantly and endlessly.
Figures which once seemed to
fill the whole stage of an activity
fade quickly and silently into
nothingness and new champions
rise in their stead.
AS entries pour in for this years
renewal Of the Washington Times
Mems Dixie Sweepstakes, names
which last year infrequently ap-
peared in the bowling news are
now on the list Of those who rate
q chance in such major events as
the Dixie.
CREEDLE, SENSATION
For instance, from the John
Marshall alleys Of Richmond
comes Blair Creedle, the Confeder-
ate Capitals sensation Of the year.
Creedle has been improving
steadily for the past few years.
Several years ago he rolled cou-
pie of sets for the John Marshall
Statesmen in the defunct South.
ern Inter-City League.
Recently he served notice that
he had arrived in the big time
when he smacked out a 1872 and
$40 set in the Boush Street Sweep
stakes at Norfolk.
The Marshallites will also have
Red Neblett carrying their colcr.
Neblett is Richmond'S No. bowler.
He, too, is a new arrival in major
league competition though he has
been a Class AA performer for
more than five years. Neblett will
be very much in running in this
years Dixie and may be the first
Richmond champion.
The third John Marshall stand
ard bearer is the colorful south
paw, Al Hosselton. AL isn't any
league bowler but when it comes
to sweepstakes, that's different.
That's when he can spank the
headpin for important counts.
When AL hits his sweepstakes
stride he's as tough as they make
'em.
NEW STAR
Norfolk is banking heavily on
newly risen star, too, Arnistead
Carter. Carter has been climbing
slowly but steadily to the top
flight and the Dixie may bring
him into the spotlight.
The two veteran aces, Steve
Sugar" Kane and Jimmie Wal
lace will back up Carter in the
Dixie.
Between Richmond, Norfolk
and other Virginia points, near
and far, the Old Dominion State
is expected to have a dozen potent
contenderS. The VirginianS are
about due to annex a major
sweepstakes and the Dixie is just
the one the doctor ordered.
The Dixie opens Saturday at
II a. m. at the Arcadia alleys.
The second block will get under
way at 3 p. m. at Lucky Strike
alleys while the final block will
start at Convention Hall at
1880 p. m.

Eleven Broke 90.

FLEVEN women broke go in the
madal round, which is quite
piece of golf when you consider that
scores of 95 or more usually make the
first flight in the District Champion
ship. And Mrs. Hills 81 is a competi.
tive record for the course. Oh, yes,
it's been done better than that, but
not against the card and pencil. Mrs,
l.. O. Cameron played the course in
78 few years ago and we marveIed
last Summer when Babe Didrikson
thumped the ball around in an honest
rs. But neither of these rounds was
played on the course as it now is nor
in competition. Mrs. Hills score was
just three shots above par for the
layout and If more rain doesn't fall
one or two Of the contestants will
bust 30. She played the first nine in
43. against the par of Al, and blazed
over the second nine in 38, against
the par OF 81. And with only one birdie
on her carbon the eighteenth hole
which has women's par Of 5, where
she holed a good putt for a 4.

Strafaci Publinks Standout,

RY HIS showing in the national open
last week, frankie Strafaci, the
Brooklyn youngster, has become the
leading figure in pre-tournament

Strafaci, public links champ in 1885,
finished in the second amateur posi-
ton in the open, and for a time
threatened the professional stars.
Hes a darned good golfer" Rippy
says. Good enough to win any tour
nament." Claude himself hasn't much
time to play these days. He has a
new job in an F street haberdshery,
but he manages to get in round or
two each week, and he'll be the tough
est guy OF the lot in the forthcoming
sectional trials for the national.

He wasn't hitting the greens at the

America sent Hal Surface and
