Match Game Pin Title
|At Stake With Semis
And Final TONIGHT
BY BEN McALWEE.

The third annual Metropolitan
Washington match-game bowling
championship will be decided to-
night at Bethesda Bowling Center
among four of the Capitals fore
most duckpinners - Tony Santini.
Ed Blakeney, Bob Miciotto and Red
Megaw. ~
Pairings for the semis will be
made just prior to the start at 1880.
The final will be rolled Immediately
afterwards.
Speculation as to the outcome has
been one Of the main bowling topics
of the week. To reach the semis all
four flashed brilliantly to win their
first three matches. 1t has taken
each of them II games to down
their opponents, with Santini aver
aging 1873, Blakeney 130, Miciotto 100
and Megaw 125.
Stamina, pointed out IN one bowl
ing oracle, will play an important
part. The one who tires the least
will have the best chance.
1t is the third straight time San
TIM has reached the senis and the
second in row for Miciotto. Last
year at Lafayette Santini lost to
Miciotto in the semis and the latter
was beaten in the final by Guethler.
Also of interest to many week.

Redskin Season Ducai
Sale Reaches 21,0S6

Back from a talent-hunting trip
with only fair results. Coach Dud
DeGroot of the Redskins last night
discovered. he'll have full houses for
all of the teams six home games
even if he doesn't have II men to
play them.
Season ticket sales have touched
21,086, leaving only 10000 seats for
each of the home games, but Cen
eral Manager Sid Carroll predicted
1000 of these would be disposed of
before the sale closes August l. Thus
the Redskins are assured of a sue
cessful financial year even before
the squad goes to training camp.
DeGroot contacted several play
ers drawn in the annual player
draft by the club and found most
of them anxious to play football but
still undecided whether to take the
chance or continue in their present
jobs. The coach is hopeful of hav-
ing, not only representative squad
when he blows the training whistle,
but one that will have more balance
than last years aggregation.

Mats Using Nigge|ing, Pieretti,
Face Benton in One Tilt oduy
BY Staff Correspondent Of The Star.

oS o 0tdkA iSopofthOht Va AK otaf.
DETROIT, May 19.-For the
windup of their Western invasion
of the year, the Mats are pitching
their oldest veteran and their fresh
est rookie against the Tigers in the
double -header tomorrow. Johnny
Niggeling, nearly 40, with a record
of one win against two losses, and
Marino Pieretti. little over %, who
has won two and lost two in his
first campaign as big Lacquer, are
Bluege's overnight choices.
The Mats are to face AL Benton,
Tiger ace, who has registered FIVE
straight wins without defeat in one
of the games. In the other, the
hurting for the home side will be
done by Overmire, southpaw, seek
ing his first triumph in two starts.
Critics here are saying the Tigers
are in third place despite Rudy
York. The big first baseman, who
in past seasons welded a potent
bat, has done little to bolster an
attack none too strong. However,
Manager Steve O'Neill looks for an
improved offensive once the Tigers
find their timing. When they get
going, Roy Cullenbine, Doc Cramer
jimmy Outlaw and York will pro-
vide the Tigers with power. O'Neill
believes.
Generally, the Tigers have a good
defense, although in this depart
ment York again is the weak men,
Der. Nobody can even guess what
he will do in any situation afield.
A surprise in the Tiger infield is
Bobby Maier, brought up from Buff
falo to play the outfield He was
shifted to third when the Tigers
got Cullenbine from Cleveland in
a trade and has been putting up a
spectacular game.
Pitching, though, has been the
Tigers strong point. AL Benton,
back from a two-year hitch In the
Navy, has been the mainStay of the
hurting corps thus far, but Dizzy
Trout and Hal Newhouser, winners
between them of Sc games last sea-
son, have contributed a good grade
of pitching. Benton had won five
times, Trout four times and New
houser three and that is all the
Tigers have won. Other than Stubby
Overmire, veteran lefthander, the
Tigers appear to have little behind
their pitching big three"
So the injury suffered today by
Trout could, if really serious, prove
