| A Spectacular Match.
For spectacular bowling the
! Wright-Berger match is a natural.
Wright winds up and lets 60 like a
steel spring. Berger, powerful fell
low. throws ball that appears shot
from a cannon. As anchor men on
teams in the Rosslyn Independent
League they met a while back and
Berger uncorked a sensational set
of 443, swamping his rival. but
Wright lately has been a ball Of
fire" He rolled three consecutive
"400s" in War Bond matches at the
Bethesda Bowling Center.
In matching Wright and Berger,
Gait Davis. Rosslyn bowling i'm
presario, was reminded OF his late
brother, Wesley, thought by many
to have thrown the fastest ball in
duckpin history. Wesley, standing
8 feet 2 AND weighing 2l0 bounds
occasionally misfred and the ball
landed in the pit on the fly.
The strapping Wolfe, hailing from
Hyattsville, is the No. ranking
bowler OF the Metropolitan Wash
ington Area. Santini is noted for
his deadliness in stake-shooting. He
will be peculiarly at home rolling in
a War Bond affair On tour of the
East, Santini and Ebersole raised
countless thousands of dollars with
colorful Tony battling all corners
with marked success and Ebersole
auctioning autographed pins.
Marmelsteins Halt Bethesdans.
However. Santini was on the los
ing side last night as Sam Marmel-
STEMS all-star team of AL Wright.
Fred Murphy, Eddie Keith. Earl
Gochenour and Wolfe dealt a first
defeat to George w. Huguely. jr.s,
Bethesdans-Santini. Johnny Ressa,
Bub Guethler, Ell Geib and Jack
Talbert. The score was 1892 to
$40
Marmelstein's men were of to a
648-596 start, but from there on it
was a pin for-pin battle, the Mar
melsteins winning the second skir-
mish, 636 to 634, and the Bethesdans
the final, 6l0 to 608 A packed gal
lery saw the contest As in all bond
matches at the Bethesda Bowling
Center, the teams sponsors each
bought 4 81 900 bond.
Another corking battle is expect
ed on the same drives tonight, when
Morris Lustines team Of Wright,
Murphy. Keith Gochenour and Bob
Miciotto meets Huguleys at 8
o'clock. Lustine is buying his sec
ond 81 900 bond in The Star tour
nament. in which all individual
scores of the Bethesda matches
count. Incidentally, all those last
night counted for AL Work, one
time southpaw great. who is shoot
ing 1t out with tuberculosis at the
Veterans Administration Santa
rum at Oteen, N. c. Only tally
that might win prize for Work
was Murphy's 407 which paced the
Marmelsteins. High for the Be-
thesdans was Santini with 398.
