Perce Wolfe, who missed the
charmed circle of the first 10 ma
tionally ranked duckpinners last
season for the first time in four
years, today not only had one Of
the choice places practically clinched
again, but also was shooting dead
earnest for the No. l spot.
With season of brilliant sweep
stakes rolling back of him to en-
hance his chances, his most i'm
portant objective is the leadership
of the District League.
But to gain his goal, Wolfe will
have to dislodge Astor Clarke, his
Rosslyn bowling pal, who is mauling
the naples at a record clip of 130-17
for 81 games, according to the
averages released today at the end
of the third series.
AS runnerup with mark of 1926,
Wolfe is the only other howitzer in
the all-star circuit to top Clarke's
last-season all-time mark of 1856.
