RALLY TO TRIP
LUCKY STRIKE

How are you going to stop
team that can come from behind
to top a $50 game? That's the
question being asked today by five
Lucky Strike bowlers. who last
night watched the Cuff and San
TIM pinmen top their best effort
Of the season to score their 10th
straight victory, and hold their
lead Of four games in the District
League pennant race.
The LuckieS, rolling 621, took
the measure of the pacesetters in
the opening skirmish at the Lucky
Strike but dropped the next two
tits when the Santinis made bril-
liant la S t frame rallies. The
Luckies, although gu tucked,
didn't mind losing the middle
game, 578 to 567, but the last, de.
cision somewhat left them be-
wildered.
JARNTAN COMES THROUGH
Paul Jarman, who once toppled
the Union Printers out of a pen
nant in the old Athletic Club
League by last-box double-header
strike at Convention Hall, was up
to his old tricks again. 1t was his
28-pin count that started the Cuff
and Santini rally and when totals
were counted his club had regis
tered 692 to annex the odd game
by % sticks after successive spares
by Santini and Bill KrauSS.
Tru-Blu kept pace with the
front-runner by taking two games
from Convention Hall when Frank
Mischou came through with top
set of 416 for the all-star circuit.
Abe Weinberg'S 1873 string averted
a shutout for the Hallmen.
In a sizzling match, Marlboro
Hotel moved the naples for
counts of 676-1,939 to trim Ar
cadia two games. The Arcadians
nipped the third-place crew in the
middle encounter when Paul Har-
rison's timely laSt-frame strike de-
cided the issue, $50 to $50. Joe
Freschi led the Marlboros with 4O2
with Joe Harrison's 1913, Astor
Clarke's 1895 and Perez Wolfe's 1863
contributing factors in the victory.
Diamond Cab routed George
town twice to take fourth place.
Lou Jenkins shot 1854 for the win
ners, with Tody Saylor's 372 high
for the losers.
Washington and Annapolis ElkS
split their team matches in their
first home-and-home series at the
Recreation, with the locals No.
/ team gaining a 83-pin win
while the Districts No. 2 crew
dropped their three-game tuSsle by
81 sticks. Gordon SCOTS $40 and
Ed Mulvey's 1855 string featured
the No. / teams triumph while
Frank Bakers $50 was high for
the losers.
Boosting victories in both ends
of an intercity match with Balti-
more's crack DR.. Pepper team, Max
Rosenberg today, with his jeenS
we'll inflated, hurled a challenge
to any combination of bowlerS who
visioned they could take his Regal
Neon Sign outfit apart.
Yesterday the Royals invaded
the Recreation drives, stronghold
of the Orioles, and administered
a five-game trimming by a margin
of Al pins to sweep the 10-game
series. The final five-game scores
were 3,095 to 1854.
Hokie Smiths 645 was top set
with Joe Harrison's 634 and Ed
Blakeney's 634 also instrumental
in the win.
The DR.. Peppers came through
with their only decision when
Meyer Jacobson and Winfield
Guerke won the doubles from
Astor Clarke and Blakeney, IT'S
to 767, to square matters in the
two-man matches.
However, Harrison made it five
out of six decisions for the locals
when he flattened Nova Hamilton,
$50 to 374, in singles. He had pre-
viouSly defeated Meyer Jacobson
here, 434 to 1872.
