!. Oliver Emswiller of the Sanicc
League today wasn't among the
potential winners of a Washington
City Duckpin Association champion
ship, but he had the satisfaction OF
being the first bowler in nine years
to boast quadruple strike and the
fourth ever to sweep the alleys
clean four times in succession in
city tournament history.
Harry Bulla of the Government
Printing Office had stirred up some
excitement in the 3Oth annual
tournament last night at Arcadia
with a tripleheader strike to start
his first game of singles and his
star linotype teammate. Paul Milan
had duplicated his feat to start his
last singles game of 161 as he
spurted to first place in Glass A
with 428 when Emswiller electrified
the gallery with four straight strikes
to climax his third-place 1898 set in
Glass B.
For his rare achievement Emswiller
will receive $40, while Bulla and
Milan get S. each. Tournament
records reveal the first quadruple
strike was made by w. R. Pratt at
Grand Central in 1918. L. r. Van
SAINT registered one at the Coliseum
in 1929 and w. o. Herbert turned
the trick at Lucky Strike in 1881.
