As District Leoeuers
Prove Mediocre

Ernie Hauser, who six years age
was the city's junior bowling cham
pion, today. as the new Glass A all
events leader in the Washington
City Duckpin Association tourna-
ment with a score of ,207, bids fair
to win his first major title.
The Lafayette Bowling Center
pinman was among the brightest OF
the District League stars who mo-
nopolized the rolling in the 32d an
nual event last night at Convention
Hall. To 1913 count in doubles, the
comparative youngster added 406 in
teams and 403 in singles to snatch
the all-events lead from Cletus Pan
nell, Anacostia Spillway ace who
cut quite a figure himself by rolling
to the front in A singles with 426
383 in doubles and 374 in teams fol-
a nine-game tally of 1,183.
For the second time within five
days, the Clarendon sharpshooters
proved poison to the strong Rosslyn
combination by outrolling the Gait
Davis entry by margin of 30 pins
to gain the lead in Glass A with a
score of 1872 to 1912. Last week
the Clarendons knocked the Rosslyn
team out of the District League flag
chase with a 80 victory. Nick Ri
naldi, with 427, featured for Eddie
Goldberg's charges last night while
Whip Litchfield turned in a gallant
single-handed effort for Rosslyn
with 446, the highest set of the tour
nament.
Most of Star Team Falter.
For the most part the all-star
combinations were well under their
normal gaits. Lucky Strike was
third high with 1911 and Penn Rec
reation with 1901, was the only
other team among the big leaguers
to hit, 1900. A triple header by Dave
Burrows was the high light of the
Lucky Strikes performance.
Lindsay Stott of King Pin turned
In the third highest count of the
evening to take over second place
in A singles with AIT, while Joe
Di Misa of Georgetown moved into
third place with 406.
Al Wright, in the spotlight these
days as roller Of the District
Leagues all-time record game of
203 and winner four times in row
of the Rosslyn handicap tourna-
ment, took over fifth place in sin
giles with 402 and moved to fourth
in A doubles with Pannell. The
Spillway pair banged out 1876 for
the top two-man count of the eve
ming.
Bill King of Penn and Ed Nash
OF Spillway totaled 769 for fifth
place in A doubles.
George Allen of Brookland was
enriched by IS when he moved the
naples for a triple-header in
doubles.
Henry Thomas In Front.
An obscure G. P. o. roller shared
the limelight when Henry A.
Thomas forged to the front in Glass
d a1-events with LOGS. He capped
his rolling with 342 as a member
Of the Bindery team.
The veteran Glenn Slicer of Silver
Spring, still going strong. fired 1863
n doubles to gain the Glass c all
events top spot with 1,l04.
With most of the teams of the
52-club league entered, Safeway
Grocery bowlers will hold sway in
the tournament tonight. The re-
mainder of the schedule will include
