Perform Against Crack
Field at Lafayette,
Brookiond Drives

Colorful Jack White of New
Haven, Conn.,, will bring the battle
for the No. national duckpin title
literally right to Lou jenkins front
door today when the famed New
Englander fires in the Lee Seim
tournament which opens at 2 O'Clock
today at the Lafayette Bowling
Center and swings to Brookland
Recreation tonight for the final five
games at 6 o'clock.
Ever a contender for duckpins'
highest award, White, who watched
Astor Clarke snatch the title from
him last season by margin of Is
pins, today finds jenkins the biggest
obstacle in his path to a long
sought goal.
Jenkins, who again appears to
have the city's No. ranking well
in hand, is in front of White in
national competition with an aver
age Of 100 and a heavy fraction.
Henry Ferri Whites bowling pal.
also will be among the big field of
sharpshooters who will compete in
Washington's final major open event
Of the season.
Shoot in Single-Pin Event.
The stellar Connecticut twosome
that competed in the st. Patrick's
Day mixed doubles at Silver Spring
two weeks ago also will shoot in
the single pin tournament at North
past Temple, which also promises
an added attraction for many out
of-town rollers. Quite few Dis
trict pinspillers will roll in the
novel event, but most of the Capital S
stars are likely to wait until next
Sunday, when Ollie Pacini brings
his tournament to close after three
successive week ends.
Charley Barnard, with a score OF
43 out of so possible pins, and his
G.. P. o. sidekick. Milton Walker,
with ~, are the leaders to date.
No. 18 on the national ranking list,
Lee Seim is the second Baltimore
roller after whom the 10-game tour
nament originated by Russ Diehl,
Brookland pilot, has been named.
Winnie Guerke, No. 8 ranking duck
pinner of the country was the first
to win the honor. Next years tour
nament will be held in honor of to-
days victor.
Also of interest today will be the
Sunday handicap affairs at Hyatts-
vile Recreation and College Park.
Both Oscar Hiser. Hyattsville bowl
ing proprietor and Charley Gentle,
College Park boss. have had big
turnouts for their Sabbath day at
fractions which start at 2 clock and
run to midnight.
Roll in Three Shifts.
Due to the heavy entry in the
Lafayette-Brookland event, Arville
Ebersole, executive secretary of the
National Duckpin Bowling Congress,
who, with his first lieutenant, Dave
Burrows, will direct the affair, an
nounced last night that three shifts
have been scheduled for each of the
5-game blocks at each alley. Start
lLg times at Lafayette will be 2, $3.50
and S. while at Brookland squads
will roll at 6, 7:30 and 9.
Ebersole, digging up apparently a
record entry for the national tourna-
ment which opens in Baltimore
April 10, also announced that at
midnight last night, the deadline
for entries, Washington was four
teams shy of its 1889 record entry
of 66 man and woman teams.
He stated, however, that by the
time the schedule goes to press We'd
nesday, late entries will boost the
Capitals total over its 1899 mark.
So far Virginia has entered 81 teams
while tomorrow's morning mail from
Ed Feustel, secretary of the New
England territory, promises more
than 80 for that section.
I'VE should beat last years record
of 358 entry teams by considerable if
Baltimore comes through with the
$50 teams the Oriole promoters are
attempting to sign up" he added.
