Field Competing

Bowlers of The Evening Star
League today reveled in a triumph
that may be an inspiration to the
fair pin shooters who tonight at
Lucky Strike will open the annual
championships Of the Washington
Women's Duckpin Association. Many
a team enters the tournament with
little expectation Of victory.
It was that way considerably when
The Star Leaguers entered the
Brookland Recreation interleague
championship series, an elimination
affair, but last night they won the
title in a battle with formidable
picked bowlers of the Treasury Rec
reational League.
Saved in their first engagement of
the series when Larry Weidman
fired a 18l game at the Times
Herald Leaguers and given a
struggle by the Letter Carriers, The
Star team moved against the Treas
urys with no extra confidence.
Treasury had waded through stiff
opposition to reach the final in
downing the Capital Transit and
Western Electric teams.
Triumph by A Pins.
With a count of 1,756 the Star
team handily rode to the champion
ship by a margin over Treasury Of

Bailey, 343; Lannie Blaine, 1888;
Larry Weidman, 1888; Charlie Hol-
brook, 226, and Bill King, los. Trail
ing by 98 pins at the end of the Sec
ond tilt with games of $40 and $50,
the Treasury quint went down
swinging with $50 to pick up 81 pins
in the last skirmish.

with 366, the losing team was COM
posed of Clark, Justice, Bloyer and
