With a team average of 642 a
game, phenomenal record. the
Rosslyn quint tonight will strive to
continue its amazing pin mauling
against Arcadia as the third series
in the Mems District League gets
under way at Rosslyn at 8. Column
bia and Mount Rainier roll at Co.
lumbia at 10.
Winner of Is out of 80 games, the
Rosslyn combination virtually has
swept everything in its path to gain
commanding lead of six games in
the city's strongest duckpin circuit.
Statistics released today reveal the
RosSlyn combination II pins a game
ahead of the national record of 625
rolled by the New Haven Elks in the
Northern Connecticut League during
the 1867 season. The Central
South Atlantic mark of 62l for a
season is held by the Marlboro Hotel
team, last seasons runnerup in the
District League.
Twice this season the Rosslyns
have shot better than 1000, estab-
fishing a season mark of 2,026 after
a 2009-count in which a season rec
ord game of 726 was rolled. Six
three-game sets have been over
1000.
Aston Clarke Leads Way.
Pacing this remarkable pin scoring
machine has been Aston Clarke
with an average of 1926 for 30
games. The king of the countrys
duckplnners not only is well ahead
of Nick Tronsky's national mark of
1918. but far outstripping his all
time District League mark of 1855
of last season. incidentally, Clarkes
1856 and 470 are season records.
Giving him battle for the lead
ership is his pal and teammate,
Perez Wolfe, with 1919 for 80
games.
Contributing vitality to the super
scoring has been Harry billiard with
1922 in Is games: Karl Gochenour,
1874; Siggy Solem, 1916, and Billy
Stalcup, 1881.
Amazed over the success of the
Rosslyn team is Gait Davis. the
Rosslyn bowling impersario. Little
did he expect to sponsor a mems
team that would steal the spotlight
from his famous Rosslyn womens
team, which is streaking toward it's
fifth Ladies District pennant in six
years.
Oddly enough, the crack Ice Palace
team, also ahead of the national
record with team mark of 628- 80
for 80 games. is having tough sled
ding holding the runner-up spot
against such formidable clubs as Co.
lumbia and Lucky Strike.
The league leader, with 142 spares.
Jack Talbert, former Georgetown
ace, is banging the naples for 1877.
Capt. Bill Krauss has 1855 for 80
strings. Lindsey Stott. Ice Palace
speedballer, has the most strikes.
with 80, and third high average on
the Chevy Chase club with PAIR
Columbia Running Third.
Columbia, with 20 games won in So
played holds third place by greater
pinfall over Lucky Strike. Ordinarily
with a team average of $40, that in
cludes the heavy pins smashing of
Hokie Smith, with third high league
average of 1910, Tony Santini
fourth with 1911 and Ed Blakeney
with 1856. Columbia probably
would be king Of the roost.
Lucky Strikes big four are Joe
Freschi with 1858; John CLANCY,
1874; Howard Parsons, 124-1O, and Ell
Geib, 124-9.
Winning l8 of its 80 games, Brook
land has made a far better showing
than either Georgetown or Arcadia,
both stronger clubs on paper. Leon
ard Smith a newcomer, is giving the
veteran Brad Mandley a battle for
high average. being only Is pins shy
of Mandley's 1926 Brookland's
team average is 592
Joe Di Misa with 126-27 for "a

standing. Team average. 500.
Arcadia has won IL games out
of 80 with an average of 607 per
game. Arcadia's big three are
Fred Murphy with PALS; Joe Hal
rison, 124-12, and George Demeres
with 124-6.
Like Arcadia, the Mount Rainier
cellar jewellers have battled the hot
test sort of competition. The other
six clubs seem to save up their big
scores for them. Capt. Hugh Craw-
ley's 1927 tops his charges.
Sis Calvagno Sets Two Marks.
A 90-average roller, Sis Calvagno
of the All Saints B team today
was the proud owner of two season
records in the Catholic Ladies'
League. Her 145 and 379 topped
the former marks of 1873 and 374,
held, respectively, by Mary Fleming
and Mary flanagan
The runner-up st. Gabriels swept
Holy Comforter A as Miss flanagan
hiked her top 104 average with 1854.
