(*Morningside and Bethesda
played 14-inning I'LL tie game
which was never played-off as
neither team finished in conten-
tion.)
At a meeting held Monday
night, September goth, at the
home of league president Bill Mar
low, the Rockville, Potomac and
Gaithersburg managers voted to
resolve the tie for second place in
the second half by elimination
play.
At 8 p. m. on Sunday, October
9TH, at Gaithersburg there will be
another post-season battle between
Gaithersburg and Potomac. The
winner of this game will gain a
lock on second place in the second
half. The loser will meet Rock
vile the following Saturday. The
victor in this contest will be the
number three team in the second
half and the loser will be behind
the eight ball. However, if Rock
vile should be lucky enough to
beat both Silver Spring and
Greenbelt this coming Sunday,
they will be in the play-off without
any further bother. Under these
circumstances they could give this
Potomac, Gaithersburg affair the
goby.
At previous league meeting of
all team representatives held in
the Rockville Fire House on Tues
day, September 23rd, the team
managers voted to to have a
four team play-off for the league
championship and the prize money
of $3.50 and 500 that goes to the
first and second place teams. This
means that Colesville will have to
enter this play-off despite the fact
that they won both halves going
away. When the existing ties for
second place are finally resolved,
a four team play-off will find
Colesville playing the team that
finishes second in the first half.
Meanwhile, the teams that finish
second and third in the second
half will also play and the winners
of these two games will then
meet for the title. After all, this
is not as complicated as your in
come tax and an indian summer
this fall should find Colesville or
some other aggregation finally
winning the prize money before
Thanksgiving rolls around. Never
theless, the threat of cold weather
may find Joe Gibson, Sammy
Keys, Doc Mannar ct al, hustling
down to the nearest Army Surplus
Store in search of long wooden I'M
derware and arctic equipment for
the use of their players.
The many fans who are expec-
ted to attend the double header
involving Rockville, Silver Spring
and Greenbelt at Rockville at 1 p.
m. on Sunday, October 9Th, and
the many others who will be at
Gaithersburg at 8 p. m. on the
same day to see Potomac and Cal
thersburg play, are urged to dress
warmly for their own protection.

next two Sundays and if this prog

Although his brilliant efforts never

Bowler Sontini Widely Known
As Great C. Come-Erom-Behinder
By Ben McAlwee

When Tony Santini swings into
action Sunday at Hyattsville Rec
reation in the 18th annual Pop Wolfe
Memorial, the duckpin star will be
pursuing one of the most unusual
of all, bowling careers so far as
tournaments are concerned.
Winner of five major events last
season for a total of IA victories over
a 15-year span, Santini tied Astor
Clark for the most events won in
season and grand total OF wins.
But vastly different were their
roads to victory. Most Of the time
Clarke spread eagled his field while
Santini was the great come-from-
behinder.
First Conquest In 1892.
Starting with his first conquest in
the 1882 Howard Campbell classic
when he defeated Ed Blakeney by
one pin, Santini in 13 successive tri-
umphs won the hard way.
1t was a new experience for the
48-year-old bowler when he went
into the final block of the Silver
City classic at Meriden, Conn, last
spring in the lead. This compare
lively easy victory climaxed his
string of five in row which started
with the Dixie here, the Newport
News Bowl, the Frank Jett in Rich
and the Easterday In Balti-
more.
Santini started his league bowling
in the Knights of Columbus loop
when Convention Hall opened in
1925 before joining the Cornell's
Lunch quint of the District League
with headquarters at the Coliseum.

leading pinmen as Kenny Thorpe,
