Strain OF 6-Year Rule
Declared Telling on
National Champ
Holds Center of Stage
In Bowling Show at
Clarendon Tonight

Unless Ida Simmons has a change
OF heart she will not make any extra
effort to win for the seventh con-
secutive year the women's No. ma
tional duckpin title.
This, according to Tad Howard,
dean of the citys alley managers and
proprietor of the Rendezvous. Tad
stated that this was the opinion he
formed from talks lately with the
Norfolk bowling marvel. Maybe it
was mood but more likely the long
grind over the last six years had
something to do with it" said Tad
But it Is difficult to believe Ida
will not attempt seriously to become
the first woman to win the No. l
ranking seven times in row. AS
matters stand she is tied with Lor-
raine Gull, Washington's premier
fair roller, who won the national
crown six years in succession before
Ida came into the picture.
Should Miss Simmons carry out
her plans As expressed by Tad, other
Southern stars would stage a merry
chase for the title. Up in the run
ming besides Miss GULL would be
Katherine Wick of Norfolk, who is
the No. roller Of the country. Lucy
Rose of RosSlyn, off to flying start
in the Ladies' District League with a
l25 average, would be potent con-
tender. Helen Randlett of Richmond
is another, while Naomi Zimmerman
and Ruth Zentz, two of Baltimore's
finest, likely would be in the race
Caroline HiSer of Hyattsville and
Lucille Young Of the Chevy Chase Ice
Palace, also might make strong bids.
It's safe bet Miss Simmons will
be rolling to the best of her ability
tonight when the center of attrac-
ton in a mixed doubles match at
the Clarendon Bowling Center. Her
partner will be the brilliant young
ster, Cletus Pannell.
