Stanley H. Thurlby, a member OF
the Army Transportation Corps
Bowling League, which shoots at
Colonial Village, was giving himself
a "ride" today for not entering The
Evening Star tournament, which
opened last night at 30-odd maple
plants.
Only league scores count in the
event, with the bowler paying the
entry fee of ST before firing.
Russell Diehl, the Colonial Village
manager, approached every mem
ber of the ATC League. Many OF
them entered. Said sThurlby:: Not
me. haven't bowled in two weeks y
In the first game he rolled 124,
finishing with a triple-header strike.
In the second he shot I'll, which IN
cluded two triples. His third score
was 131, for a total of 426.
Has Other Opportunities.
He is a 108-average bowler. With
the tournament scratch for men
1873, and full handicaps allowed
Thurlby rated 60 free sticks. With
a gross of 488 he would have won
third place and $100 in last years
Star tournament and his I'll would
have gained a fat prize in the
scratch section.
Count me in from here on, he
said ruefully. The tournament is
a month long affair with a bowler
permitted to compete every time he
rolls in a league match. Thurlby
faces three cracks at the long list
of prizes, total of $50 for men and
women.
His experience recalls that of the
late Carroll DAILY, an early winner
Of the Star tournament. Several
years after his victory in 1882 DAILY
passed up the affair because of a
yen against the drives his league
bowled on. In what would have
been his tournament set Daily shot
a game of 181 which included an
all-time District League record OF
five consecutive strikes and his gross
would have won the event with
many pins to spare.
With such incidents in mind a
number of bowlers already have
paid entry fees to cover month OF
league competition. They string
with Jesse c. Smith who won top
prize last year at the age OF u. "A
blind pig" observed Mr.. Smith as
he received a check for 5000, finds

Grandpa Was Right.
The old gentleman surely pos
sessed an accurate slant on The Star
tournament. Most of the prizes are
won by bowlers unheard of outside
their own groups. In the last sew
eral years hundreds have entered
with no thought of gain but to help
the Bowlers Victory Legion, to which
the event is dedicated. The BVL
