Making Big Entry;
DeadIine Nears

True to tradition, the big
Masonic and Agricultural Inter-
bureau Leagues are setting the pace
for entries in the annual tournament
of the Washington City Duckpin
Association, the lists to close Satur-
day night with competition on the
Silver Spring lanes to open next
Wednesday.
Virtually all of the Masons' 30
teams, which roll at the Penn Rec
reation, are entering and a 100 per
cent turnout is assured from the
Agricultural, which has "a teams.
The Masons will boast the largest
group from single league, but the
Aggies, in way, will have the big
gest representation for Joining the
Interbureau lineup will be the nine
teams of the Rosslyn Agricultural
League.
The Aggie Interbureau is the old
est duckpin circuit in the city in
point of continuous operation, having
been organized 20 years ago. May 4
has been set aside as Agricultural
night in the tournament and the
Masons will hold sway April %.
Gait Works for Hugh.
Time was when Hugh w. Arbaugh,
Silver Spring proprietor, and Gait
Davis, Rosslyn promoter, engaged
in a lively contest of producing
entries for the annual Evening Star
tournament. This time Davis is
putting out" in big way for his
rival and friend. Besides the Ross
lyn Agricultural he expects to see
the bulk of the popular Rosslyn In
dependent League in action on Ar
baugh's drives. A whopping entry
from Rosslyn would be a fitting
tribute by that suburbs bowlers to
Davis, who is expected soon to join
the colorS.
In the meantime, Harry Dixon,
secretary of the Washington City
Duckpin Association, advises that
entries may be made at any alley
Also he would appreciate little
more hustle by official scorers in
submitting averages for classical
ton purposes.
The Washington Women's Duck
pin Association, whose tournament
will be held at Silver Spring in May,
has set April % as the entry dead
line and April Is as the deadline for
turning in averages.
