BY ROD THOMAS.

Amid the clatter and bang of
opening night in The Stars CITY,
wide bowling tournament was heard
something akin to an explosion at
Hyattsville. A quick check today
revealed Prince Georges County
League bowlers in possession of
most Of the early honors.
Heading the mems standings is
Elmo Miller, with a set Of 448, in
cluding 36-pin handicap, and the
women's is topped by Pat Afford
with a tally Of 78-4l3, but still
another Prince Georges County
Lacquer, young Miles Quail, jr.,
stole the show. Quail, who holds
the national junior duckpin title,
fired spectacular game of 1875 for
one OF the highest singles in the
15-year history of the tournament
He landed one stick behind Miller
in the gross standings. To hose
out his youthful rival, Miller, too,
was quite a sensation, with fin-
ishing string of 152. His other
games were 120 and 140.
Quail, who won his junior title
at Atlanta, Ga, in 1912, before
entering military service, sand
wiched his whopper between tallies
of 121 and 101. He fiatted only one
frame. the fifth, in which he missed
a single. He clustered three spares
and strike In the early boxes
and finished with a spare, triple
header strike and spare in that
order.
It's Hyattsville Custom.
Quail's performance marks the
second successive year a Hyatts-
vile bowler has exploded" in The
Star tournament. Wally Burton in
the last one having fired an all
time record for the event OF 2l2.
But for ignorance of a rule In the
tournament which permits q bowler
to enter every time he rolls league
set. the leader of the mems division
would be Tony Suess, another
Hyattsville patron. Suess, former
star outf1elder of the Union Printers
ball team, turned in a gross set of
403 and thought he was through in
the tournament. His team rolled
a double-header and Tony in the
second match crossed 462.
Miss Afford was only q stick
ahead of Lillian Carleton of the
Washington Ladies League who
rolled 57-412 at the Lafayette.
r. Townsend, Hyattsville, took over
third with 69-404; Lucille Drake
OF the Quartermasters League at
Hi-Skor was forth with 69-400 and
Helen Mckay of the Interior League
at Lucky Strike. was fifth with
54-398.
Milici in Third Place.
Competing at H-Skor, Louis v.
Milici of the. Coast Guard Mixed
League rolled to third place in the
mems division with 93-446. Charley
Ross of the Northeast Temple Mer-
chants League moved to fourth
place with 87-443. Two other Hi
Skor contestants were among the
first nights leaders as L. e. Putnam
OF the Food and Drug Administra-
ton loop moved into fifth place with
132-43s and H. N. Bannister, Coast
