by NANO SlMl
The conquering heroes and
heroines are back at their D. G.
jobs today. a bit giddy but well
satisfied with their efforts.
The 200 grim Washington
bowlers who descended on Ricn-
mond Saturday for the eleventh
annual National Duckpin Bowling
Congress with their tongues III
cheeks, busted off their hands
after the smoke Of battle cleared
and, with a superilious lift OF
their eyebrows eyed their rivals
from other duckpin centerS ana
sneered: so there"
After Saturdays orgy Of duck.
pin spilling, Capitol bowlers are
undisputed leaders of four Of the
eight national events and are tied
for two of the other four.
ONLY MISS ONE
In the mems division only Art
Felter and Ray Haines' all-time
doubles record total Of 918 re-
manned unscathed and in the
womens events the 1923 teams
total of WICC, of Bridgeport,
proved too much of the local gals.
Hero of heroes Saturday was
young Bill Costigan, of G.P.O., for
coming out of the obscurity he
blazed across the armament like
a meteor from the outer regions,
and stands tied for the coveted all
event lead with Ray Haines with
1912. Bill backed a 398 team set
with a 401 in the doubles and 413
in the singles. Astor Clarke was
hero No. 2 when he also nudged
another leader over to share his
pedestal, Bob Liberto, of Balti-
more, with a 448 in the singles.
Silver Spring, with Len Smith
rolling 429 and Bob Temple 416,
tops the teams with 1868, with
Georgetown Recreation's 1919 Sec
ond. Sam Benson's 418 and Ed
Nash's AIS put the West Enders
over. Masonic League No. is
third with 1857, one pin UP on
Rinaldi Tailors.

some Of that great form which
once made her the terror Of the
mapleways and is now leading the
all-events with 1,130 and shares
the doubles lead with Catherine
Quigley, while Mabelle Herring
gives Washington its third wom-
ems top place with a 375 in the
singles. Margaret Lynn and GULL

with 373 and 371, respectively,
while Capital girls. Pauline Ford

another sprig to WaShington'S
blazing bouquet of glory by taking
over second place in the doubles
with 813.

shoot, WashingtonianS are conf
dent that the Capital will harbor
several of the national titles for
the coming summer months, rain
or shine.

their hands full when they face
the leading Senators to hold sec
ond place when the two teams
