For Journey Sunday;

The biggest group of defending

The biggest group of defending
champions ever to represent the
Capital In an out-of-town major
duckpin tournament will be among
the many leading man and woman
bowlers who will trek to Hagers-
town, Md, Sunday for the fourth
annual Cumberland Valley event at
Gene Raney's Coliseum drives.
In the big Western Maryland
event last year bowlers from this
area won seven OF the nine major
titles. while Arlington Bowling Gen.
ter sported the Class B woman's
team championship.
Here's the list of Washington roll
ers who will seek to retain their
laurels in the top-flight division:
Mems doubles-El Geib and Ollie
Pacini.
Mems all-events-Lou Jenkins.
Women's teams-Rosslyn
Women's singles-Mary Fike.
Women's doubles-Gladys Lynn
and Mary Fke.
Women's all = events - Caroline
Hiser.
Mixed doubles-Perce Wolfe and
Ida Simmons.
This near-sweep Of titles exceeds
several big Washington years in
National Duckpin Bowling Congress
tournaments, particularly the recent
one in Baltimore when Capitol roll
ers won six titles.
Instead Of rolling with Miss Sim
mons. Wolfe more likely will compete
in the mixed doubles with Miss
Hiser, his title winning partner in
the recent nationals.
Due to the gas rationing it is I'M
derstood that many of the bowlers
will make the trip by bus and may
charter one.
Baltimore bowlers will roll the
final week Of the l6-day event which
ends May 81.
An important meeting Of the
Mems District League will be held
tonight at 10 o'clock at the Lafay-
cite. Acceptance Of prize list and
setting a date for the annual BAN
quet will be among the important
matters to be acted upon.

Two Of the teams least expected
to be there sit, and not unfirmly,
atop the high school baseball ladder
with excellent chances of remaining
there and meeting next month in
the playof series for the champion
ship. Wilson and Central are the
leaders and barring upsets-the
series already has about all it can
stand-will remain in that position.
Wilson has only to take Eastern,
and Central still must face Roose-
welt and Coolidge, and those three
teams do not figure to disturb the
two leaders. AS for Westerns de-
Tending champions, their plight is
sorry one. From a commanding
position last week where they sailed
at the top with not cloud in sight
they have dropped down to third
place and retain only a mathe-
NAUTICAL chance of getting a crack
at the title.
Western Takes Sudden Flop.
They were undefeated until last
week both in the title race and in
outside games. Now they've lost
three in a row-two of them series
games-and have no excuse to offer
Central completed their downfall
yesterday by taking a 1872 victory
while Wilson was moving to the top
with a Al win over Tech.
The tipo1 that Western isn't of
championship caliber came early in
yesterdays game at Central. The
Red Raiders filled the bases in both
the second and third innings with
one out and none out, respectively,
and with all those potential runs on
the bases scored only once. After
that it just was a question Of how
large would be Central's margin.
Aaron Weisenberg can be credited
with a major share of Central's
triumph. Pitching all the way, he
limited Westerns usually big hitters
to six hits while tanning IL.
Meanwhile his teammates were
knocking Clarence Kuldell from the
box with three-run sprees in the
first and second innings. Charley
Hines took over and gave only four
hits the rest of the way, but he was
victim of another three-run Gen.

Big Wilson Inning Tells.

The Wilson Tech game was a
pitchers battle between Jack Ogle
Of the Tigers and Sammy Webb Of
the Maroons. Ogle won with a five
hit job. Webb allowed only six, but
Wilson's edge came on three hits
punched in the sixth inning for
three runs.
That big frame was started with
Bill Jawish's single. Freddy Vim
son reached first on one Of the three
errors turned in during the tight
game. He was forced by Hansford
Sullivan, but both lavish and Sulli-
van counted on Don Hillock's triple,
and Don scored a minute later on
Monk Barbee's double.
