Lorraine GULL and Lucy Rose
Away to Snoppy Starts in
Race for Bowling Title
Washington bowling fans look to

Washington bowling fans look to
another sensational struggle be-
tween Lorraine GULL and Lucy Rose
for the Ladies District League
championship following exceptional
performances by both last night to
open the campaign.
Miss GULL, who for more than q
dozen years had little or no competi-
tion for the high average and has
watched Mrs. Rose snatch the title
on the final night of rolling the last
two seasons, got the jump last night
with a stellar 412 set that topped
the opening nights matches in the
Capitals premier women's circuit.
Her high game of 142 was leading
factor as Hi-Skor counted 615-1 ,678
TO take 81 decision from Del Ray.
With 129 her best single effort,
Mrs. Rose turned up with 381 at
Convention Hall as Rosslyn Bowling
Center blanked Hap Burtner's new
Hall entry. Margaret Smith, making
her big league debut with the Hall
quint, made good with 355.
Arlingtons Score Upset.
Led by Kitty Rice's 1893, Arlington
Bowling Center scored the biggest
surprise of the evening with a sweep
over the strong Anacostia Spillways
Mabelle Herring was high for the
losers with 332.
A threat to both Lorraine and
Lucy, Lucille Young fired a 376 set
that enabled the invading Chevy
Chase Ice Palace to post a 2-1 win
from Arcadia. Her top string of 149
was the heaviest wallop as Chevy
Chase chalked up high team game
of 636, which, incidentally, topped
the highest score rolled last season
Brookland Recreation was off to q
e-1 win from Rendezvous as Lois
Gladding shone with 338. Ellen
Brown gave the new Lafayette Bowl
ing Center quint a 81 edge over
King Pin with a nifty 1862. Dorothy
Guide spark]ed with 359 to lead Clar-
endon Bowling Center to 81 VIC
tory over Red Circle Food Shop.
Hokie Starts With Fast Pace.
Only four sticks shy of a 14o-
average for six games, Hokie Smith
is riding high in defense of his
Mems District League championship.
The Lucky Strike team captain
who banged out 420 last week as the
city's fastest duckpin circuit got
under way, was in great form again
last night in shooting 416. In strik-
ing contrast, his title-defending
Lucky Strike team had its troubles,
losing two games by one and six pin
margins to the invading Clarendon
Bowling Center combination. Gene
Hargett's 148-412 and Nick Rinaldi's
1886 were the heavy blows for
the winners.
Cletus Pannell posted a season
record of 451 as Anacostia Spillway
took the visiting ArlingtonS for the
odd one with scores of 622 and $50.
Frank Mischou fired 1872 for the
Virginians and Paul Jarman hit for
387.
The veteran Sam Benson of
Georgetown fired a season record of
168 which, along with Dick Lees 1862,
paved the way for Georgetown Rec
reation to trim Henry Hiser's Be-
thesda outfit, 81.
Hi-Skor posted its second 2-1 vic
tory by virtue of new high of
692 and 1924 set that turned the
Del Rays back in the odd game.
Lou Pantos' l52-405, Sam Simon S
14o-401, and Capt. Ed Blakeney's s
391 led in the win. Lou Jenkin S
391 was best for Del Ray.
Pete Wells Shoots 405.
Pete Wells with 405 and Red Ham
ilton, a newcomer, with 370, had
much to do with Penn Recreation S
2-1 decision over Brookland. George
