KidWeII Senators Out
To Beat Record Set
By Blue Ribbons
Clarke StumbIes Again;
Lucy Rose Picks Up
In Women's Race

While five teams representing the
Government Printing Office and two
Shaffer Flower Shop quints pre-
pared for their departure tomorrow,
lone aggregation, the Mario Kid
well Senators Of the Rosslyn Inde-
pendent League. today formed the
vanguard for Washington's bowling
forces in the 18th annual champion
ships Of the National Duckpin Bowl
ing Congress being staged at New
Haven, Conn.
Tonight the suburban crew COM
posed of Kidwell, Billy Stalcup,
Francis Robertson, Joe Briles and
Paul James will strive to give the
Capital in flying start in it's bid for
the national honors. Stalcup, who
finished second in the United States
all-events here last year and paired
with Brad Mandley to cop fourth
place in the doubles, was given a
setback last night when his illus
trious partner failed to show up for
the trip. However, it will require
more than this to dim the hopes of
the young star, who expected to
pair with Robertson, a speedballer,
who at times can NOV the naples
with the best of them.
The Shaffer No. l team is loaded
with stars. Ollie Pacini, Red King,
Red Megaw, Ernie Hauser and
Frank Bub) Guethler may be the
Washington combination to send
into the discards the record of 2,057
shot by the famous Blue Ribbons
in the current tournament. The No.
l G. P. o. outfit with Sam Simon,
Monk Walker, Lee Brown, Jerry
Cowden and Charley Barnard also
figures to have a chance to better
the top score.
Washington's main squad of bowl
ers is scheduled to roll next Sat-
urday.
Astor Stumbles Again.
While Astor Clarke ripped a big
hole in his record average with his
second 800 set in row, Perce Wolfe
came through with 151-428, the
big wallops as the Rosslyn team
clinched the Mems District League
championship last night at Rosslyn
with lone decision over George
town Recreation. The invaders won
the first game. 624 to 583, dropped
the second. 583 to $50, and scored
their only match victory Of the sea-
son over the new title holders when
Capt. Bob Miciotto and Lawrence
Pugh, with respective counts of 14l
and 139. featured score of 664
against 637 Pinky Bradt's 391 was
high for Georgetown.
Clarke. in his only real slump of
the season, shrunk his average to
1902 for 72 games. The slump
probably will cost him a national
record for average.
Hugh Craw,ey stepped in with q
double-header strike to prevent
Mount Rainier from being shut out
by Lucky Strike after Ray Parks
had come through with ITO and
John CLANCY with 165 to give the
Luckies the first two skirmishes on
their home drives. Chaney's All
and Parks 396 were high for the
victors. with Bill Beatty's 141-37;
and Ray Wards 370 best for the
suburbanites.
Rosslyn Girls Near Flag.
With his male combination home
with the bacon, Gait Davis, the
Rosslyn bowling impresario, was
doubly pleased today as his Rosslyn
woman team, with 2-1 victory over
the champion Lucky Strikes, had
just about copped the Ladies Dis
trict flag for the fifth time in six
seasons.
A championship also looms fol-
Lucy Rose, star anchor of the Ross
lyn team, who boosted her record
league average to 1864 with a 35S
set. Blanche Wootton, aiming fol-
the runner-up spot, came through
with top count of 381 as the Ross
lyn quint chalked up 580-1,6 ,697.
Rolling only 3l4, Lorraine GULL
dropped 108 pins back of Mrs. Rose
for the individual championship
Caroline Hiser's 130-348 was high
as the Luckies grabbed their lone
win.
Sweeping the third-place Arcade
Pontiac outfit, Chevy Chase cut the
Rosslyn lead to four games. With
only six games remaining, sharp
upset will be necessary for the Con-
necticut avenue maids to finish in
front of Rosslyn. Lucille Young's
1882 and Jessie Sacrey's 1855
were the big blows in team scores
