Gaping the second series wind
UP with city-wide season record
of 1920, the Hyattsville Recreation
team today shared the limelight as
Hokie Smith had boosted his top
average to 1907 while his pace
setting Lucky Strikes had increased
their lead to four games in brilliant
sustained drives to win District
League championships.
Splurging with games OF $50, 664
and 666, Hyattsville was too much
for the invading Lafayette Bowling
Center quint last night. With Astor
Clarke clouting for 150-396 and
Ernie Hauser throwing in a big
last game of 1856, the Lafayette's
highs of 657 and 1857 were Of no
avail against the Marylanders as
Harry Hilliard pounded but 162-439,
Perce Wolfe, 176-427; Irvine Bill
himer. 15O-408: Harry Wolfe, 141-
378, and Wally Burton, 140-168.
Their brilliant counting cracked
the Week-old Lucky Strike mark OF
1898.
While his fast travelling Lucky
Strike quint was smothering the
Brookland Recreations with counts
of 646 and 1859, Smith, although
missing by II pins equaling the
record-smashing pace set by Clarke
last season, came through with 154-
405 to add IS sticks to his fat mark.
Ell Geibs 1856 also aided the visiting
Luckies. Elvin Shank's 38l was high
for Brookland.
Arcadia Loses Ground.
With only a 81 win from Penn
Recreation, the runneryup Arcadia
outfit lost ground in its title bid.
Fred Murphy's 141-392 were the
potent wallops for the victors and
Sam Shreve's 361 was high for the
invaders.
The third-place Convention Hall
men also gave ground to the Luck
les in a 2-1 decision over George
town Recreation. Lou Pantos led
the winning charge with 1852
as the Hall copied the first and
last games, $50 to $40 and 608 to
6O2, while Milton Walkers 154,
which included two double header
strikes, gave the Westerners the
middle tilt. 612 to 539. Walkers
set was 406.
The visiting King Primers took
the rubber game from Chevy Chase
Ice Palace, 629 to 612, as Bob
Miciotto climaxed an even 400 with
140. Ray Parks 1887 was best
for the losers.
Clarendon Bowling Center held
fourth place with 81 victory over
the champion Rosslyns as Lou
jenkins 139-401 featured. Whip
150-391 was high for
the titeholders. The once-great
Max Rosenberg rolled with RoSslyn
and turned in 341.
Mrs. Rose Back in Lead.
While Lucy Rose today had re-
placed Lorraine GULL as top bowler
In the Ladies District League, her
two travelling Rosslyn teammates,
Blanche Wootton and Evelyn Ellis,
also had stepped back into fast ac-
ton to aid in 80 win from Del
Ray, which enabled the champion
Rosslyn team to stay at the heels
Of the leading King Pin quint,
which swamped Clarendon to main
tain one-game lead.
In front with a mark of 121-21
before she started her 17-day South
ern bowling tour, Mrs. Rose, al
though slicing her average to 1919
with a 351 count, shot ahead of Miss
GULL, who after four weeks of bril-
liant rolling to assume the leader
ship slumped with 1856. Gladys Lynn
shot 134 and 351 in the RosSlyn
triumph. Caroline Hiser was the
heaviest walloper for King Pin with
l46-384.
A season record went by the boards
when Penn Recreation bumped Ar
cadia for the rubber game with GIT
10 top Clarendon Bowling Center's
former mark by nine sticks. Jessie
Sacrey was tops with 134358. Beth
Minson's 1888 were high for the
invading Arcadians.
Lucille Young's 145 and 371 were
he potent punches as Chevy Chase
Ice Palace swept Rendezvous, while
Mamie Payne's 124335 led Red
Circle Food Shop to a 81 win from
Georgetown Recreation.
