RossIyn Girls Making Up
For Forfeitures; Chevy
Chase Trips Columbia
While Lorraine GULL hasn't COM
mitted herself on the request made
by the National Duckpin Bowling
Congress that she roll for the first
time in the event named for her,
which would add to her opportunity
to wrest the No. ranking away
from Ida Simmons, Washington's
bowling fraternity still has high
hopes of watching the two arch
rivals match their skill in the sew
enth annual GULL Sweepstakes to
be staged Sunday at the Lucky
Strike
Hungry for victory over the blond
duckpin marvel of Baltimore Miss
GULL gave Capital fans a sample
OF her bowling prowess last month
as she won the Dixie with a ma
tional record nine-game score of
Ito. Miss Simmons was third with
1,136.
At the height of one of her great
est seasons, Miss Gullis chances of
winning her own event would be
enhanced by the fact that Miss
Simmons is the defending champion.
And as the winner in three of the
six last tournaments the law of
averages is against Miss Simmons.
With the finest woman rollers
from Connecticut, Baltimore, Rich
mond and Norfolk augmenting the
Districts classy field, the 10-game
tournament will mark the final ma
jor sweepstakes to be- held here
this season for girl bowlers.

which counted 1888 to 1,759 in a
mems District League clash last
night at Rosslyn. Astor Clarke

2-l victory over Arcade-Pontiac at
Rosslyn, are hardly little worse off

the trip six games in front and now
stand five games to the good. Capt.

game win. Alma Schultz was high
