lock between two District rollers
saw Marge Smith win over Mrs.
Miltner for the all-events crown
after the latter took the singles.

Jack Whalen turned in a tourna-
ment record score of 435 to cop
mems singles and Mrs. Fischer won

Bid and Ed Blakeney the doubles.
1t was 1884 before Washington
bowlers won again At Baltimore,
Lorraine GULL banged out an all
time tournament record of 433 to
shove Lucky Strike girls over the
top with record count OF 1852.
Evelyn Ream and Billie Butler came
through with the girls doubles title
and Miss GULL climaxed her roll
ing by winning the all-events. Red
Megaw paired with Johnny Waters
of Hartford to annex the doubles.

In the 1885 tournament here Miss
GULL led the District attack with
singles and all-events triumphs.
Northeast Temple won the mems
team event.
Lucille Young was Washington's
standout bowler in the 1886 Hart
ford tournament. With 418 she
won the singles and climaxed her
days rolling by all-time all-events
record of 1,169. Lucky Strike, tying
its 1884 record score of 1,752, won
the women's team title.
Astor Clarke and Bill Krauss pre-
vented another shutout at Nor
folk in 1887 with a doubles victory
and besides Miss Hering's 1898
singles triumph, Clarke came
through with the mems singles title
after tying with Bob Liberto of
Baltimore.

cut and Capital bowlers are highly
hopeful Of regaining national bowl

zim lam zum Latest
Addition 10 Turner
Muscle Museum
Opponent for Pfefer's
Hairy Importation Yet
To Be Selected

zim Fam Zum, one of the oldest
in a new collection of wrestling
specimens now on exhibition, moves
into Prof. Joe Turner's muscle mu-
scum this week, headlining a show
that marks the beginning of an
other chapter in local nose tweaking
Mr.. Zum is reported reliably to be
a direct descendant of King Tut-no
mean wrestler himself in the old
days. This is Indignantly denied by
Jack Pfefer, emminent archeologist,
who has devoted lifetime to
plowing up well-mellowed athletes
Of the Stone and Iron Ages. Prof.
Pfefer insists protege Zum is a
Johnny -Come-Lately who wouldn't
know a dinosaur if introduced to
one.
Pfefer insists Zum is so fresh he
might even be thrown by his oppo-
nent, yet to be named. The latter
will enter the ring accompanied by
a party of Boy Scouts, whose duty
it will be to seek out Zum and give
the signal, because Zim is well hid
den by foliage This is an old
Egyptian trick, although Zum has
improved on it considerably. The
Egyptians used bullrushes, which
later were tried in football with
great success.
But Zee Zee-Z. z. T. If you insist
is only one of a carload of new crit
ters Turner is importing to brighten
up the premises. He has the Irish
Angel-not to be confused with
Maurice Tillett-the original char
acter in this role.
Irish Angel meets Dropkick Muir
ply, who has a bit of the auld sod
in him, too. This is the feature of
the show, but old Triple z is the
boy the fans want to keep their
eyes on.
All this is by way Of showing that
Turner has broken off diplomatic
(and other) relations with the Dusek
tribe. Turner used everybody in the
troupe over and over and figured
it was time to give the fans a change
Of characters.

Unprecedented bowling honors
will be Mabel Hering's If the ace
of the Arcade-Pontiac Ladies Dis
trict League team wins the United
States singles championship for the
third consecutive time next Satur-
day in the National Duckpin Bowl
ing Congress tournament at New
Haven, Conn.
Washington has had winners of
36 of the SO titles over stretch
of II years in national COMPETE
ton, yet Miss Herring will be the
only defending champion when the
Capitals main squad of man and
woman rollers bid for the coveted
honors. in the windup of the 18th
annual tournament. The fair Capt.
tai shooters have won 20 titles, 4
more than the men.
Miss Herring, fourth District wom-
an to win the United States Singles
event, trailed Margaret Miltner, the
1929 winner; Lorraine GULL, 1885
leader, and Lucille Young, 1886
champion, in annexing her first
championship in 1898 at Richmond.
She repeated here last year in a
rollof with Ethel Brewer of Bal
timore.
d. c. Rules Alleys Four Years.
After winning five of the eight
titles in the first tournament at
Baltimore in 1928, Washington
bowlers ruled the national maple
ways for the next four years.
Memorable victories were those OF
the King Pin mems team in the
inaugural and Of its sterling leader,
Howard Campbell, in the all-events.
AL Fishers triumph in the singles
was sparkling victory and so was
that of the Commercials, a crack
Washington Ladies' League team,
and the late Irene Mischou's all
events championship.
Down at Richmond the next year
Campbell and Jack Whalen battled
to a tie for the singles title with
the former winning on a rolloff
Sam Benson won the al-events.

Speed, Stamina Make
Mann Heavy Choice
Over Everett 1
Gomeness Is Not Likely
To Aid Buck Much at
Riverside Tuesday

Battle-scarred Buck Everett, vet.
eran OF more wars than you can
count on an adding machine, Is
back with us yet again Tuesday
night at Riverside Stadium, where
he pairs with Nathan Mann for a
10-round bout topping the weeks
lone fistic show.
1t will be an entertaining fight
as long as Buck is able to stand
up, although Mann figures to win
from here to next week. You can
write your own ticket, keeping in
mind the important fact that cut
eyes sometimes spill the dope. Ev-
erett has no more business in the
ring with the New Hoven nudger
than your kid sister, for Mann is
younger, faster and far too clover for
Bucks weary ways.
Mann Heavy Favorite.
Everett is dead-game ringnan
and Snowman, willing to catch
a couple to pitch one. He'll keep
coming as long as his aged dogs
carry him into the heat of battle.
He's got ticker as big as a poll.
tician's promise and not nearly
as empty, but game hearts and
fighting spirit don't win decisions
or score knockouts. A man needs
a Susie @. in his mitts, he needs
strength, legs and stamina and
Buck is lacking in at least two
of these.
In his favor is his courage and
against him are the physical in
firmities that beset all fighters
sooner or later. Buck is no duck
ling in the fight business. He's
been on the pond more years than
he cares to remember and, while
he always has given his best and
made 1t interesting, he's reached
the point where his best isn't good
enough for a fighter of Mann's
quality.
Not terrific clouter, Mann,
nevertheless, hits solidly enough to
| chop open old wounds on Bucks
warped countenance and wear down
his stamina. He, too, is game and
a superb defensive fighter. Mann
knows as much ring strategy as
Everett and has more speed to carry
out his operations. He will not tire,
whereas Buck will run down midway
in the duel if he opens in high gear.
On paper Nathan figures to capture
6 of the 10 rounds without difficulty
more than enough to win.
