Slated October 29

Chances are that only three bowl
ers who made up the original How
ard Campbell Sweepstakes field of
% in 1927 will compete in the four
teenth annual tournament to be
held Sunday, october %, at George
town Recreation, Lucky Strike and
Convention Hall.
They are Red Megaw, Joe Har-
rison and Campbell himself. Me-
gaw is distinguished as the only one
to 60 the full route in all 13 clas-
sizes. Campbell, through illness,
missed rolling in the first two blocks
in 1885. Harrison, after rolling the
first two years, missed in 1929, but
has competed annually since.
Practically all the crack maple
spillers of 1927 were entered in the
first Campbell attraction and Fred
die Moore marked the memorable
event by rolling 1875 in the first five
game block at King Pin (now CO.
lumbia). Glenn Wolstenholme
brought the citys first money tour
nament to dramatic finish at Con-
vention Hall when he crashed
through the winner over such nota-
bles as Clem Weidman, the runner
up; Megaw, who ran third; Johnny
Welsh and Henry Hiser, who i'm
ished fourth and fifth. Wolsten-
holme, the most feared, rolled at
the time, shot 1874 for the l5-game
stretch to win by Is pins.
Moore's Mark Proved Durable.
Moore's record stood until last
year, when Joe Freschi topped it by
seven sticks in the second block at
the Lucky Strike.
The other topnotchers who COM
peted in the first Campbell and fin
ished in the order named were:
Jack Whalen, Perce Elicit, Johnny
Pappas, Bert Sheehy, Claude Cowles,
George Friend, Phil Goodall, Joe
Mulroe, George Isemann, Ollie
Webb, Joe Toomey, Oscar Swain,
Joe Mulvey, Roscoe Reichard, Tom
Nolan, Pappy Pratt, John Bhck,
Make Rosenberg and Hap Burtner.
Eddie Payne, anchor shooter on
the third-place ]. Brenner & Sons
team. missed the citys season record
game by three pins when he shot
189 in the Georgetown Commercial
League, but he's the first bowler re-
ported this season to mark in all
10 frames. His feat bettered by
eight sticks the former season mark
rolled by Dave Burrows.
Joe Dimisa of the leading Reid's
Market outfit is going great guns
with an average of 1914 for Is
games, shot 1896 as his latest effort
to top a 81 win from Toody's
Bar-B-Q
Jack Talbert's 151-369 and Jim
Boteler, with 15O-377, gave the Sec
ond-place jefferson Spring a sweep
over Thomas Welding. Lawrence
Smiths 37O was a feature of Chap
pell Billiards 21 victory over Barnes
Heating Co., the latter club, with
Weisner uncorking 157, won the
opening skirmish with the weeks
top game of 608.
Crawley's Squawk Justified.
Hugh Crawley is squawking Justify
and seemingly with just cause. The
Mount Rainier bowling mogul shot
high game of 165 in the first block
of the Jimmy Wallace Sweepstakes
at Norfolk and failed to collect the
$40 prize. 1t went to Paul Lohr for
his 155. Hugh quit early in the Sec
ond block because he didn't think
the officials were running the tour
nament properly and when he failed
to finish the officials took the view
he forfeited his claim on the prize.
George Isemann, secretary of the
National Duckpin Bowling Congress,
has ruled that Crawley should have
collected. He points out the fact
that one of many things could have
happened to keep Crawley from roll
ing the final block.
Red Burdette Unlucky.
Tough sailing for the champion
Breech Mechanism No. l team of
the Navy Yard League has reached
point Of evaporation for at least
one of it's boWlers-Red Burdette
Its crack anchorman shot a season
record set of 402, which included
the weeks high game of 100, only
to witness Drawing Room sweep the
match with 1905 and Bill Brazerol
tie his set mark.
Ray Mcconnell again was the
star, with 135-364, as F. & A. No. l
retained the leadership of the 28-
club loop by a 81 win from Plan
ming. With Hugh Crawley shoot
ing 382 and FitzWater aiding with
374, F. & A. No. l moved one game
back Of the pacesetters by swamp
ing Optical No. 2. The weeks top
team game of 608 went to B. M.
Shop No. when George Garrison
hit for $50 in an odd-game win
from Erecting.
Jack Days double header strike
IN the final two frames and 378
set gave Sight No. 2 the odd one
from Tool Shop No. l. Whitley
Bausch's 1856 proved Foundrys 81
edge over Torpedo Tube No. /.
Indian Spring No. moved into
. first-place tie with Capital No.
in the Country Club League as
Arthur Darling's 355 led in 80
win from Argyle No. 2. while the
Capitalians were dropping a tilt to
Capital No. 2. High scoring honors
went to Carl Rittenhouse of Capital
No. l with lat and Tom Dennis of
Manor No. l, who topped team
counts of 597-1,782 in a 81 vic
tory over Kenwood No. 2. Ken
wood won the first game by one
stick, with 593.
