Two King Pin bowlers, Bob Reid,

Towles, who a few years ago was
the city's standout young duck
pinner, are the new Brookland
limited doubles champions.
The two 117-ayerage pinmen
caught fire at the same time last
night at Brookland Recreation to
win the second annual five-game
event from u other combinations
with a score of 1890. Towles count
ed 668 and Reid 622.
Bowling 3O4 for their first game,
with Reid hitting for 159 and
Towles 145, the youngsters spread
eagled their field the rest of the
way. With Towles delivering the
heaviest wallops with ISL and 148,
they tailed 271 and 281 in their
second and third games. Their final
two games were 219 and 215. The
victory netted each SIS.

Bout
Winds Up Season at
Turner'S Tonight

The 1947 boxing season closes al
Turner's Arena tonight, with Match
maker Gabe Menendez presenting
card featuring three promising
local -battlers against out-of-town
competition. The main go is q To-
rounder, for which Frank Lacey
comes over from Baltimore to bat
tie Middleweight Ken Stribling OF
Washington.
Other good local boys stacking up
against out-of-towners are Feath-
erweight Jimmy Cooper, who meets
Lucky johnson of Philadelphia in
the six-round seminal, and Johnny
Arduini, who goes against Myron
Dickerson, also of Philadelphia, in
a five-round prelim. Cooper is a
speedy little colored boy who
jumped into prominence with only
a few fights here. He looked par
ticularly good while chilling PIGGY
King in his last bout several weeks
ago. Arduini is fresh from amateur
ranks, where for several years he
was just about the best around
town.
Stribling is the underdog in the
main event, but he could give Lacey
a lot of trouble if he repeated some
of the good performances he turned
in here this year. Strib lost a 10
rounder to Johnny Walker of Phil
adelphia, but won about everything
else. He has had several kayoes
this year, stopping Frank Sweeney,
Joe Cannon and Kayo Williams,
and won number of decisions.
Lacey has shown here only once.
That was when he. beat Bee Bee
Washington. He also decisioned
Washington in Baltimore. Sweeney
also is one of his victims.
There are three other supporting
bouts, in addition to those involv-
ing Cooper and Arduini. Melvin
Wade and John Hansbury tangle
in a five-rounder, while four
heaters are George Maverick against
Joe Mosley and Jackie Ford against
Nose Herald. First fight is at 8:45.
