d. c. Stars to Compete.
The Maryland State Open Sweep
stakes event in Baltimore Sunday
will lure Ollie Pacini, its frst cham
pion, and q host of other Washing
ton money shooters, including Karl
Gochenour, the Rosslyn District
League team star who succeeded
Pacini as titleholder. Lynwood
(Tick) Thumm of Norfolk, Va, is
the defending champion.
Sticking close to his Job as man
ager of Northeast Temple, Pacini,
twice named No. duckpinner Of the
country, finds little time these days
to compete in the many money at
fractions in which he once collected
regularly. In his only bid for some
big coin this season he finished sixth
in the recent Dixie with 1878 to
pocket SIS.
Evidence that he's primed for the
forthcoming Oriole event is cleaned
from his 400 set which topped Quail
ity Shops 80 win from Dargan's in
the Southeast League last night.
Capt. Harry Browns 391 also was a
leading contribution to a team set
of 1905 and games Of 6l3, 601 ans
601.
Bacas Bros. won two games from
Square Deal, staging exciting f1n-
ishes by taking the first on rollod
and the final by two pins.
Lou Chipouras' 40 and Gus Places
395 helped City Baking to over
whelm Bantam Press, 81. Charley
Freeman's 357 paced Maryland Mar
ket's 2-1 decision from Brinkley's.

Eagles swept Krazv Kats to move

Russell Parks, the former Bill
Wood Dub Sweepstakes champion,
banged out 1875 as the leading
Red Circle Food Shop trimmed Cha
conas Market in the National Cap
ital League pennant chase. Pete

ers. Elmer Wesley's top string of
155 and his 381 were deciding factors
in Diamond Cabs 81 victory over
Shaf1er Flower Shop. Abe Povich
led in Master BARRIERS odd-game win
from Sun Dial with top set Of 396.
His high single Of 153 was tied by
