Rainier, where the first 5-game block
is to be rolled, and Gait Davis of
Rosslyn. host to the howitzers in the
Wind-up, bending every effort for a
big field, last years record entry of
II may be smashed.
Four of the five ISemann stake
winners have been Capital bowlers.
The coming attraction is of par
ticular Importance to Joe Harrison,
defending champion. Twice this
season, the Arcadia star has let
titles slip away from him. on his
rolling last Sunday in the Brookland
Recreation affair, when he finished
fourth with an average of 1872 for
the 10 games, it would appear he's
prlmed for this test, however.
After Wilmer Robey of Baltimore
won the first championship in 1895,
Ed Blakeney came through with VIC
tories in 1886 and 1888, while Astor
Clark copped the title in 1887.
