For W. c. D. A. Tourney;
Cab Rollers Shine

Orphans of the drives for years,
mixed leagues of man and woman
bowlers have come under the wings
Of the Washington City Duckpin As
sociation.
This was announced today by
Perce Elicit, president of the w. G.
D. A., after q joint meeting with the
Washington Women's Duckpin As
sociation and the Board of Directors
Of the w. c. D. A.
Several years ago the Arlington
Trust team, champion of the Ross
lyn Independent League which was
composed Of three women and two
men, rolled in the mems city tourna-
ment. After winning the Glass C
team championship in record break
ing fashion their feat caused no lit
tie stir among the male contestants.

w. c. D. A. at the time ruled that
any mixed teams rolling in organized
mems leagues would be eligible to
compete in the mems city tourna-
ments.
New Mems Bracket Asked.
Since then, mixed leagues have
gained much favor. With the wom-
ems association sponsoring the an
nual mixed doubles tournament,
there was speculation as to whether
the w. w. D. A. would bolster its
city tournament entry with mixed
teams. But the officers of the wom-
ems governing body deemed it ad-
vlsable that only women should roll
in their tournament.
Astor Clarke of the w. c. D. A.
Executive Board recommended to
the association that an unlimited
class replace the present Glass A..
In his opinion, this move not only
would swell the entry list in the
top classification, but also would
allow teams and bowlers alike in the
lower classes to compete in bracket
higher than their actual qualifica-
tion called for.
