Clarke and Nick Tronsky, the No.
and No. ranking duckpinners of
the country. in singles matches this
season, is WaShington's top-average
shooter in sweepstakes and special
game competition, according to the
figures released today by Dave Bur-
rows, assistant to George L. Ise-
mann. executive secretary of the Ma
tional Duckpin Bowling Congress.
In 81 games the crack Italian
maple mauler, who is captain of the
District Leagues front-running Cuff
and Santini team, has rolled for
an average of 1864
His standout achievements of the
season are victories in the Ray Won
Dreele Sweepstakes in Baltimore,
with 1,l01 for 7-game average of
143; second place in the Norman
Levy Anniversary event at Nor
folk and fourth in the recent United
States Sweepstakes here.
Hokie Smith, his teams ace lead
off shooter. is in the runner-up spot
with 1856 for 102 games. Joe
Harrison of Marlboro Hotel, who
shot an all-time tournament record
Of 707 in The Evening Star Yule-
tide Tournament, is fourth, one stick
shy of 125 for lat games.

Trailing are Ed Blakeney 12O),
i23-47; Howard Parsons 11OD,
l22-1O4; Ollie Pacini t73, 1888;
Perce Wolfe 11D, 1921; Bill
Erauss (76), 1894; Paul Jarman
(4S), 1887; Billy Stalcup (45), 122;
Lou Jenkins (58), 12O-42.
Since the National Duckpin Bowl
ing Congress allows bowler three
pins for every game he has rolled
more than his competitors, Joe
Harrison jumps within Is sticks of
catching Santini on the difference
of his l47 games against the 81
rolled by Santini. On the same
rating Harrison passes Smith with
125-134. The extra pins give Harri-
son pickup of 1853 on Santini and
135 on Smith. 1t was by this
method of figuring that Astor
Clarke retained his No. title last
season over Jack White of New
Haven. White in 416 games aver
aged 1862 against 1851 for
Clarke in 514 games.
