Five Of the first six places in
the mems team standings are &C.
cupied by Washington aggrega-
tons and the top place is worth
$500 and the other prizes scale
down from that point for some
20 places.
Mems doubles first prize is SITS
but the Capital boys will just have
to skip that, 1t belongs to Art
Felter and Ray Haines, Of Balti-
more with a wOrld.record 918 set.
VITALITY INTERESTED
Aston Clarke is vitality interested
in the 500 first prize in the
singles, for he'll have to split it
with Bob Liberto, of Baltimore,
both having 448 for top, If the
Connecticut boys don't top it.
The diamond studded all-event
medal Is in the balance between
WaShington's Bill Costigan and
Baltimore's Haines and If they
aren't topped by Nutmeggers Sat
urday, will be subject to a rolloff.
The big cash among the girls
teams is 500. But here, too, the
local danes are bit Indifferent.
Rendezvous placed high for the
District, in fourth place.
But in the women's booster class
the Temple girls are in front by
a good margin and can be consid-
cred home, as few booster teams
remain to bowl.

head can shoot 400 or better in
the Columbia Heights League
Tuesday night.
This may be quite an order for
the handsome Dutchman to fill,
but Bill has been clipping off 4O0s
with such regularity in the loop
that it's not beyond his reach.
Last night at the Arcade he
made sure Of an all-time Columbia
Heights League record when he
shot 428 to rocket his average to
1860. If he shoots 345 next week
he will have achieved the highest
average ever attained by a District
pinman since the installation of
round cutters. Aston Clarke holds
the record with 1865 which ne es-
tablished during the 1934.35 sea-
son in the Federal League.
But if Dame Fortune smiles her
sweetest and Krauss shoots 400
he will crack Dutch Newman'S
all-time Washington mark Of 1874
which was chalked up in 1928
at Lucky Strike In the National
Capital League when raised gut
tiers were in use.
Incidentally, at this time last
season KrauSS was nearing his
all.time District League record
average Of 1854. But with Astor
Clarke currently in front by some
300 pins KrauSs will be supplanted
by his Occidental teammate.
