Men and Women Hold Eleuen
Of 50 National Pin Marks

Eleven of the 50 national duckpin
records are held by metropolitan
Washington bowlers according to the
1889 issue of the National Duckpin
Bowling Congress record book, which
rolled off the press this week.
This intensely informative book COM
piled by George L. Iseman, N. D. B. c.
secretary, reveals that only two local
bowlers, Astor Clarke and Caroline
Hiser, wrote their names into the rec
ords during the last season. However,
Clarke although gaining the mixed
doubles mark of 1888 with Helen
Randlett of Richmond, had his name
erased three times as a record-holder.
Like Clarke, Miss Hiser also shares
her honors. Paired with Catherine
Wick, this duo chalked up two doubles
marks. a game of 303 and 3-game set
of 1888. on the Bosh Street drives in
Norfolk last spring. The Clarke
Randlett record was made at the
Health Center In Richmond.
