RICHMOND, Va, April Is.
George L. Isemann threw a bomb
shell into the ranks of the Ma
tional Duckpin Bowling Congress
here last night when he resigned
as executive secretary at the an
nuai meeting of the congress di-
rectors who, just prior to his stun
ming announcement, had awarded
WaShington's Lucky Strike drives
the 1889 tournament.
Jumping to his feet before Ise-
man had time to take his seat,
Arville Ebersole, secretary of the
Washington City Duckpin Asso-
citation, asked that Isemann's
resignation be tabled. Action to
this end was quickly tabled.
The big delegation of bowling
operators who had attended the
opening meeting before the direc.
tors went into their huddle, ap-
pealed to Isemann to give them 80
days in which to formulate plans
which would alleviate the finan-
cial stress of the congress. Ise-
mann repeated his desire to retire
from the post he had held since
the congress was organized in
1927. John Blick led the fight to
hold Isemann into his job.
CONGRESS MAY END
Today the general opinion is
that unless Isemann acquiesces to
their pleas the national congress
will pass out of existance. The
final outcome will not be known
until next month, but ISemann
stated that he intends to stand
his ground.
Alex FAINT, of Washington, who
has served as treasurer for II
years, also resigned his post. He
stated that he did not care to be
reelected with 1semann out.
third resignation was handed the
congress when Ray Won Dreele
of Baltimore, relinquished hi

LEONARD LOOKS
GOOD ON MOUND
AND AT PLATE
BY FRANK BUCK" O'NEILL


George Case, young outfielder
who came up from the Trenton
team of the New York Penn
League, showed three hits and q
stolen base into the opening day
jackpot and nonchalantly sat
back.
BEAT those" he said to the boys
who are fighting for the honor OF
opening the season.
Case supported his hits, two Of
which were doubles, with a stolen
base and a fine running catch on
Iuffman'S smash in the ninth in
ming. Case covered about as much
ground as a shower in getting to
that drive. He was able to half
turn and take the ball out in front
Of him, high above his head.
But for the terrific speed Of the
young outfielder, Huffman'S
smash was good for triple. It
had as much power, for instance,
as the three-bagger Simmons hit
in the sixth inning, and the roll
licking smash that Stone cata-
pulled into right center in the
fifth.
STRONG RATING
Case broke nicely on the ball
and was able to reach it before it
Strucn Gay dirt. With conditions
as unsettled as they are at the
moment, it will not taketmore than
one more game such as Case
played yesterday to establish him
as the starting center fielder.
Playing under major league
conditions, Case showed style de-
fensively and on the attack. He
still needs coaching in baserun-
ming, but he will learn the proper
methods with a little experience.
Dutch Leonard went the route
for the GriffS yesterday in his
final work before the opening
of the season. He allowed one run
and eight hits. The Orioles
punched a single by Bill Cissell
and a double by Count Puccinelli
for their lone tally.
Leonard, incidentally, revealed
himself as something of batting
Strategist. He hunted safely in the
sixth inning and went to second
when the surprised Bill CiSsell
threw into right field.

familiar with every phase of the
