By Looms and Currency
With ! 1888 Count

Ruth King of the Takoma Ladies'
League and the Loans and Currency
team rollers today were sporting
newly won bowling titles, the last to
gain first places as the Washing
ton Women's Duckpin Association
championships were brought to a
finish at the Arcadia last night after
eight nights of competition in which
field of 1875 singles and 122 doubles
established new records for entries.
The 86-team entry was S less than
last year.
A 1927 count gave the Takoma girl
first place in Glass c singles, while
the Government quint walked of
with the Glass E team title by virtue
of a 1888 total.

association, and Evelyn Windsor,
her Arcadia teammate, made a gal
. liant bid for the Glass A doubles

Mary flanagan, st. Gabriel's star
roller of the Ladies' Catholic League,

of the Commissioner and Miscel-
laneous League, which took third

the AIS set and the 1927 Glass A

Maryland Aces for
County Loop Fight
Flag in Prince Georges
Predicted for Club
By Manager Miles

Although the Maryland Aces, one
time champions Of Prince Georges
County, got of to a bad start in the
league race last Sunday, their sup
porters still cheerfully predict q
pennant-winning campaign for the
team in the current county series.
The Aces dropped a SO decision to
Capitol Heights in the curtain
raiser.
After a 3-year absence from the
field because of the loss of Pop"
Stewart, who organized the club in
1927, the aces are back in harness
under the able direction of George
Smiley" Miles. Five charter men,
bers who grace the roster hold down
regular berths and are supported by
dependable new talent.
Digs Up New Talent.
Holdovers are Joe Home RUM
latham, first baseman, who led the
team in homers, clouting 10 or more
for four consecutive seasons; Curley
Lagana and Flash" Farley, out
fielders, and "Slugger" Dom, short
stop and leading hitter of the club
three years in row.
Miles searched far and wide for
new faces to bolster the squad and
succeeded in Turing Lefty Harris,
southpaw curve ball artist, from
Glen Isle of Southern Maryland.
The Little Aces" younger counter
part OF the old club, graduated
Buddy O'Connor, flashy third
sacker; John (Bing) Cook, out
fielder, and "Weldo" Link, a catcher,
to the unlimited ranks.
From Maryland Park Miles OBJ
tained Edmond Roberts, younger
brother of Lenny Roberts, one of
the best known players on the sand
lots; HOWE Dixon, a second base
man, and Bill Hart, infielder. Bill
Former, pitcher, and T. Lagana,
an outfielder, complete the roster.
New Uniforms Help.
Miles blames the teams opening
day defeat on the lack of suitable
uniforms. Shipment of the new
suits was delayed and the players
were obliged to appear in makeshift
regalia. and he claims it had a de-
moralizing influence on them.
Watch us from now on he said
today, land you're going to see a
club worthy of the grand old name
of the Aces"

Western Alone Gains
Strength Through
Semester Marks
Central Suffers Most
With Loss Of Three
Valuable Men

With line-upS slightly revamped,
teams in the Western division of the
schoolboy baseball series will resume
their title quest tomorrow afternoon,
with Roosevelt facing Western and
Central opposing Wilson.
At least three teams will show
new faces in several key positions as
a result of scholastic ratings re-
leased earlier in the week. Woodrow
Wilson athletes will not know their
fate until late this afternoon.
Central, one of the outstanding
pre-series choices. was hardest hit
by the marks, losing Harry Martin,
f1rst-string catcher; Pitcher Bill
Fisher and Outfielder Walter Good
rich. Martin, lively lad, kept the
team on its toes with his chatter
and used excellent field generalship
behind the plate. Coach Jack Ray
was counting heavily on Fisher for
second-half mound duty after he
turned in two-hit job in defeating
Anacostia, 10-1, and Goodman was a
f1rst-claSs outfielder.
Banks on ROZZelle.
AS matters stand, Ray will have to
rely on Dick Rozzelle, veteran
moundman, for yeoman duty in the
remaining games and hope for the
best. Rozzelle has done all right thus
far, although he lost to Wilson, GA,
in his last appearance, and usually
gets off to shaky start. Kenny
Bransdorf will be recalled from the
outfield for catching duty and a re-
serve player will be inserted in his
stead in the garden
Roosevelt's joy at the return of
Third Baseman Johnny Thrift and
Outfie1der Ernie Travis, both heavy
hitters, was tempered somewhat by
the loss of Pitchers Bill Meikeljohn
and Tom Marcellino and Third
Baseman Ernie Vitale. Meikel-
johns loss particularly will be felt,
for Coach Herman Littman planned
to give him a regular turn on the
mound. Meikeljohn relieved Eddie
Vermillion in the Western game
and turned in big league relief job,
hurling six scoreless innings, allow
Ing only one hit.
Western Alone Strengthened.
Vermillion, Billy Robertson,
Danny Booth and Ed Taylor will
rotate on the mound in the second
half.
Western was the only team of the
three to gain strength with the ad-
vent of the new semester adding
Ray Wrenn, third baseman, and
Dutch" Trunneu, an outfelder, to
its roster The club also was boil
stored by the return of Jake Hilleary,
topnotch catcher. who did not re-
port for baseball along with the
other candidates.
Wrenn probably will alternate
with Bill Mahaffey, who has been
holding down third for Coach Cliff
Moore's men-and doing a good job
of it-While Trunnell is certain to
see action in the outfield. Both are
consistent batters and the team S
stick average can stand a boost.

keenly when one watches the reac-
tions Of various showgoers.
Take the case of the dog show
reporter who has been covering
shows all over a large section of
the country for more years than she
likes to think about. She has been
writing blase items about dogs with
international regulations, pointing
out inflnitesimal faults, refusing to
give space in her columns to home
town champions because the COM
petition they met in acquiring their
championships was not of the high
est caliber, acting just too, too
sophisticated.
Then she broke down, and entered
a dog of her own at the show. Her
pup won blue ribbon in its class,
although it did not 60 any higher.
She was just as thrilled as the
veriest tyro.
All her friends and acquaintance
were instantly apprised of her big
win, and all the unwary ones were
dragged over to the bench to see
the wonder dog and to be shown the
blue ribbon.
Then take the case of the smart
young sports columnist whose editor
sent him to the dog show to get
material for column that would
poke little fun at dogs and dog
shows. He was doing all right until
he wandered by a benchful of a
certain breed of dog that caught
his eye.
From Then On, 1t Was All Of.
The rest of the time was devoted
to trying to buy one of that par
ticular breed of dog, one that could
be carried right home with him
from the show. He had to have
that dog right then.
