COOKE PINMEN
CRASH NAPLES.
FOR 697 C A M E.

You would have had to buckeo
the wintry gales across Key Bridge
last night if you were to see the
best maple-spilling turned ir
around the city. For, over at Gall
Davis pin-plant, the Cooke Press
rollers cracked out an all-time
record team game of 697, which
happens to be a record count fol
league rolling this season.
And Ernest Cooke, who leaves
it to the remainder of his team
mates to say just how good q
bowler he is, today is sporting the
highest string shot in the RoSSlyn
Independent League this season
For it remained for Cooke, who
sponsors several bowling teams
to come through with whoppine
176 effort to climax his teams
brilliant achievement.
Jack Talbert, whose all-time
record string of 181 was in jeop'
ardy as Cooke hammered away at
the naples, also had something
on the ball when he shot 399 to
feature Banton's Market 81 win
from the paceSetting Manning
Service outfit, which hadn't drop
a match since the season started.
Jack Hurwitz's 391 and Lynn
Fellows 397 were among the high
sets that all but caused Pro
prietor Davis to turn off his heat
ing plant to save his alleys from
burning up.
Harry Hilliard, who rose to the
heights in 1886 as the Howard
Campbell Sweepstakes champion,
was top performer in the Co
lumbia Heights League at Arcadia
The Hyattsville maple mauler cut
loose with 153-410 to pace the
top team counts Of 633-1,813
with which his Jacobs Transfer
club turned back the Ford Electric
quint two for odd-game win. j,
C. Longest rollers held to their
four-game lead by turning back
Tivoh Delicatessen twice.
Tom Griffin, who sells ad-
vertising for The Times by
day and wears boisterous i'm
ported Scotch tweeds by night,
particularly when he's bowl
ing, turned on the heat in the
Herald Times League last night
at Lucky Strike with second high
set of the season, a rousing 800
set which, incidentally, saved the
"reps" of the teams aces, namely
Clarkson Gemmill and Con
rad Jacobs, as Advertising twice
erased the efforts Of Bubbles

hoon, who claims no laurels as
a bowler, but was good enough
