Coast Guurdsmun Gains Lead
In Stur's Bowling Tourney
BY ROD THOMAS.

Richard w. Still of the United
States Coast Guard Bowling League
was surprised today to find himself
top dog in The Stars city-wide
bowling tournament, while a fellow
Coast Guardsman, Joe Martini, was
kicking himself.
Still gained the lead in the mems
section Of the tournament last night
at the Hi-Skor with tally of 502,
which included a handicap Of 80.
He supplanted Grover Sheppard,
who early in the going rolled 491
at Takoma with the aid of SO free
sticks.
What disturbed Martini was a
game of 185 he rolled, because it
meant nothing in the tournament.
He neglected to enter. II he'd paid
the dollar entry fee Joe might have
won fat prize for scratch game.
In this field Al Wright leads with
a score of 100 tailed at the
Lafayette.
Still Stands Well.
AS matters stand, Still not only
leads in gross sets but is second in
scratch games with 178. His other
strings were 122 and 118 with the
big one in the middle. Martini
opened his set with the 1876, which
would have been the flashiest start
in the 17-year history of The Star
tournament.
Ace performer last night in the
women's division was Dorothy Nc
Carthy who rolled 60-426 at Brook
land to occupy second place behind
Anne Habercom with score Of
42-434 at Rosslyn. Hazel Glover,
for years secretary of the Wash
ington Ladies League, moved into
fourth place with 63-414. Holding
the third spot is Jean Fawcett,
Silver Spring, with 69-419
