Clarke Breaks Slump.
Astor Clarke, after failing to I'm
ish in the money in the Pop Wolfe
Memorial Sweepstakes. and then
shooting puny 800 set which con-
siderably reduced 137-average in
the Federal League, came out of his
slump last night to bang out sea-
son record set of 456 in the Rosslyn
Independent League. His games of
100, 139 and 157 missed Lou Jenkins
all-time mark by eight pins. Clarke's
heavy walloping set the stage for
Clarendon Decorators to chalk up
season record game of $50 and
whitewash Arlington Trust.
Y. M. c. A. swept New York Res
taurant to maintain first place with
13 wins out of Is games. Man.
ning's Service, led by Eugene Cor
dons 1896, tripped Sport Center twice
to deadlock the latter club for the
runner-up spot. Billy Kingsolver
shot 800 for the losers. Frank Mis-
chous 1896 was the highhght in Shaf-
fer's 81 victory over Sherman's
Clothiers. Ernie Hauser's 1872 was
the poke that gave the Washington
Senators 2-1 edge over Allied
Roofing. despite Joe Freschi's 1856
and Eddie Edinger's 1888.
Jack Wolstenholme pounded out a
season record game of 178 in the
Silver Spring American League last
night. His whopper paved the way
to Silver Spring Markets 662 season
mark and a sweep over Galliher &
Huguely. Howard Parsons 154 also
was part of the high team game.
E. c. Keyes rollers gained . tie for
first place with Northwood Park
when the latter was smothered by
Greenwood Markets season record
Of 1888 in which Harold Lewis
1912 provided the fireworks.
MONTE Deffinbaugh was the star in
the Keyes team 80 win from Grotto
Grill with 144-41s.
Provost Still a Star.
Bus Provost, the old timer star, still
is going strong, as evidenced by his
top string of Isl and 379 set that
enabled Navy No. l to shellack Vet
Grams No. l in the National Feder-
alton of Federal Employees League.
Spilling $50 pins at Convention Hall,
Keller copped set honors to aid in
Navy No. 3'S odd-game win from
Treasury No. !. Burke's 137-375
paced Navy No. S to 81 victory
over Treasury No. 2.

first place in the United States
Housing Authority League with a
81 decision over Mail and Files.
Richard Bischoff's 354 featured for
the winners. Cameron's top single
OF 142 gave Legal its lone win from
Projects.
Sidney Eisenberg, president of the
Distributors League, had big time
at the Lucky Strike with the weeks
high counts of 138-362, but his In
ternational team could win only
one game from THYME. Sweeps
were registered by the champion
B'nai-B'rith, E. Kahn and Cardinals
over Friendship, House of Stover
and Globe.
