Rosslyn again is away winging in
The Evening Star Yuletide handi-
cap bowling tournament, being
rolled at all metropolitan Washing
ton alleys. Gait Davis, enterprising
Rosslyn promoter. today announced
an entry of 95 from the Rosslyn
Independent League and declared
his intention of beating the record
established by his establishment
last year. With $50, Rosslyn hung
up a tournament mark for number
of entries in proportion to drives.
Tonight at $50 the board of di-
rectors of the Washington City
Duckpin Association will meet at
Convention Hall with leaders of
the women's association to plan a
complete canvass of the city's
leagues.
In the meantime, many bowlers
are getting in their qualifying sets
early. The deadline for the FIVE
game prelim, which may be rolled
on any alleys at the entrants con-
venience, is Christmas Day. All but
few of the pinplants are supplied
with entry blanks and the others
will receive theirs today. Complete
details of the tournament, in which
there is no entry fee, will be found
on the blank.
First place in the 32-team Sanico
League today belongs to five bowl
ing brothers, the Hendricks-Bryan,
Brook. Teddy, Leonard and Robert.
Rolling as the Sanico Peanut
Butter team for the last several
years. this formidable brother COM
bination reached the peak at Con-
vention Hall last night. A 81 win
from Family Circle started them
on their way, but it took the help
of the Green Bag Coffee outfit to
complete the job by knocking
Sanico Flour out of the top spot.

Bakery with 562-1;638. Henry Bel
wins of Flour shot top set of 366,
while Henry Nichols of Sanico
