Brookland Mems Host
While Women Roll
AT Lucky Strike
Pinettes' Association
Meets; CIorke-Smith
Feud Is Resumed

Washington bowlers today and to-
night will divide their competitive
Interest between the Winfield Guerke
tournament at the Lafayette Bowl
ing Center and Brookland Recrea-
ton, and the Lucky Strike Women's
handicap, final stake attractions Of
the season.
Also of major Importance will be
the spring meeting of the Washing
ton Women's Duckpin Association
slated for the Lucky Strike at $50
pm. Feminine loops in the metro
politan area are asked to send dele
gates to aid in making plans for the
annual tournament to be staged at
the Rendezvous.
With f1rst-block squads scheduled
at and 4 pm, practically every
leading male duckpinner of the East
will fire away at the Lafayette as
the 1O-game Guerke event gets
under way before shofting to Brook
land for the finals blocks at 7 and
pm.
For fair bowlers with averages OF
i08 or less the six-game Lucky
Strike tournament will be rolled in
two three-gam blocks at 3 and
7:30 pm.
Name Tourney for Winner.
Originated last year by Russ Diehl,
Brookland manager, great interest
will be manifested in the rolling of
the Guerke affair. Not only will the
winner receive a prize of $3.50, but
next years tournament will be
named in his honor. Guerke, one
of Baltimore's finest, stands more
than an even chance of carting off
the top laurels again.
AS Washington's leading candi-
dates for the No. / national ranking
honors, attention will center in the
rolling of Astor Clarke, Lafayette
pilot, and Hokie Smith of Lucky
Strike. While Clarke has a COM
Portable lead of approximately 200
pins over Smith in stake bowling
with an average of 129-2l5 in 236
games. Smith is up some 10 pins
on Clarke in the District League,
of which Astor is the defending
champion.
Hot potatoes these days, Ed Nash
of Chevy Chase Ice Palace and Lou
Jenkins of Clarendon, who has fired
four 400-sets in his last five District
League trys, also will be watched
closely.
Other D. c. howitzers in the
Guerke are Tony Santini. Ed Blake
ney, Bill Krauss, FL Geib, Karl
Gochenour, Paul Jarman, Perce
Wolfe or Harry Hilliard.
Jack White, Mac Carboni and Ben
Kosky of New Haven, Conn, are ex-
pected to roll. There's also a bare
possibility that Nick Tronsky and
several other famed Blue Ribbons,
including Mike Bogino and Steve
Dyak, may see action.
W. c. d. A. Oeadline Nears.
With only a little more than 10
days left before the oeadline for
entries in the forthcoming Wash
ington City Duckpin Association,
which opens at the Lucky Strike
April %, all league officers and
bowlers are requested to cooperate
in sending in their applications as
soon as possible to be assigned the
special rolling dates they desire.
League scorers also are asked to
send to Ben McAlwee, secretary,
their league averages.

Capt. Billy La Billie played lead
ing role in keeping Manor No. tied
with Kenwood No. l in the Coun-
try Club League. Rolling as sub
stitute he fired a first game Of 154
to help Congressional win its lone
tilt from Kenwood and then reeled
of 154 as the champion Manor
quint grabbed the rubber game from
Beaver Dam No. /. Don Boyer's

middle skirmish. George Boyer was
tops with 384 as Manor No. 2 swept
Argyle No. 2. Roger Bounds 143
was the potent wallop as Indian
Spring No. annexed the odd one
from Argyle No. l.
