Dismal Failures in
National Event

In a maze of week end bowling re-
suits stands prominently the win
ming effort of an obscure 92-average
girl bowler.
With all the earmarks of a new
duckpin WOW" blond Ingomar Moen
last night won the third annual Lu-
Gle Young Sweepstakes at Con-
vention Hall with record score of
$50 for the 6-game tournament
named for a former Washington star.
Staged for skirted rollers with
averages less than 101, Miss Moen,
whose competitive experience before
the tournament had been confined to
the Navy Mixed Doubles League this
season at the Arcadia, caused only a
ripple of comment when she gained
the lead in the afternoon bloc with
$50. She bounced back to COM
plete her triumph with a net of 800.
Her games were: First set-l26,
lib and 121; second set-lO5, 1O4 and
121.
Finishing second in a field of 81
was Eva Brown of the B. Y. P. U.
League, who combined sets of 357
and 3l6 for 6-game total OF 673. Miss
Brown was the leader at the end of
the fifth game by II pins. Her final
count was g.
Viola Bechtold, president of the
G. d P. Telephone League, finished
third with 648. Her sets were 33l
and BIT. Dot Crawford of Silver
Spring, after 27s for her first set.
rolled a nifty 357 for the second
block to finish fourth with 636.
The three winners received $50. SIS
and $40. Consolation prizes of 81
each for high game and set went to
Audrey Freschi. 1877; L. Duke of
Richmond, Va, 329; Mary flanagan
and Catherine Lewis, 127 (tied). and
Dot Crawford, 357.
Caroline Hiser Leads.
In striking contrast to the bril-
liant rolling of Miss Moen were the
weak efforts of a handful of ma
tional stars bidding for titles in the
N. u. B. C. tournament at the
Lucky Strike.
Caroline Hiser of Hyattsville
gained first place in the womens
singles with 33l. She and Cath
crime Wick of Norfolk, who hold the
national doubles game record of
3O3, took first place with 667. Both
leading marks are expected to be
topped many times before the 18th
annual classic ends.
Lorraine GULL, the defending all
events champion. rolled only 1923 in
singles and 800 in doubles. So far
of form was Washington's fore
most girl maple spiller that in the
eighth frame OF her last singles
string she went through the middle
twice after cutting head-pin deuce
on the first ball.
Outstanding in the male compe-
tltlon was the rolling of Abe Vein
berg, who led Convention Halls
District League team into second
place with 1874. The Hallmen, off
to f1ashy start with 655. shot 57o
and COL to place back of the lead
ing Charlotte Bowling Center team
with 1884. The North Carolinians
rolled 1861. Lefty Goodson with
$50 featured the Norfolk Boush
Street teams third-place score of
1901.
A. and p. Ties Leaders.
Probably more pleased were the
A. and P. League rollers, who tied
the Alloys Liquor Store of WASH
ingtOn in the booster team division
with 1,724. Jimmy Hollands 1913 and
Gene Moreland's 367 paced the Dis
trict grocery outfit.
Sydney Carver, a Fredericksburg,
Va, star, gained third place in the
singles with 391. With strings of
120, 156 and lis he trails Buck Har-
vey of Baltimore with 400 and Tony
Carpenter of Rhode Island with
1893.
Carver and R. Jacobs, with re-
spective scores of 373 and 354, took
third place inn doubles with 727.
Two York, Pa. booster teams, the
Centrals and White Roses, despite
the fact that hardwood duckpins
are rather new to them, acquitted
themselves well with 1878 and 1852
totals. J. Freedman, who rolled 1923
with the Centrals, is one of two
bowlers to register a perfect 300
game with rubber banded pins in
his home town.
Action in the nationals will cease
until Wednesday night, when the
Wallace-Barnes pinmen of Bristol,
Conn. and Tru-Blu of the District
League will take up the firing.
