Marks Up Season
Record for Loop
By ROD THOMAS.


Laurel v. (Reds) Fenwick, Navy
Yard toolmaker, is away winging on
a bowling career. Fenwick, who
halls from Brocton, ILL.,, never ham
died a duckpin ball until the start
of this season. His current average
is 90. In his first effort he averaged
70 with the Tool Shop No. team Of
the Naval Gun Factory League.
Today, with score of sos, includ-
ing a handicap of 1T, he stood bet
ter than a fair chance of winning
the capital prize of The Stars 14th
annual tournament.
Fenwick, a 212-pound. 6-foot
husky, SO years old, marked up
games of 13l, 141 and 1l6 last
night at the Anacostia Spillway
and tackled on 1T free sticks for
total of sos, which gave him an ad-
vantage of 20 pins over Bob Will
liams, Rosslyn, whose 72-485 stood
for more than week in COMPETE
ton for the mems top prize Of a
$1,000 Defense bond.
Travels Ha4est Path.
Fenwick, a partly bald redhead,
gathered sticks "the hard way"
For the tournament final he count
ed a league set and in so doing
not only rolled his first 1900" but
the high set Of the season in the
Naval Gun Factory League. His 1888
topped by pins the previous high,
fired by his leagues president,
George Herbert. who inveigled Fen
wick into duckpin shooting. Herbert,
husband of Willie O'Steen Herbert,
the tennis star, played last season
on softban team captained by
Fenwick.
Like Others to come to the fore In
The Stars full-handicap tourna-
ment. Fenwick was surprised. Five
or six years ago." he said. Il rolled
tenpins with no attempt to compete.
It was exercise. How rolled 1873 at
duckpins in this tournament is a
mystery"
Said Herbert: THE fellow throws
q fast ball that produces lot OF
spare breaks With control he'll
make a star bowler" In his three
games last night Fenwick gathered
IL spares and 2 strikes.
For two years he's been a Navy
Yard toolmaker. He waited eight
years for the job.
