Ends Streak at
|4,44OGomes
. By Ben McAIwee

One of the most remarkable
streaks in sports history was at
an end today after Washing
tons Catherine Quigley, hailed
as "the Lou Gehrig of the
Mapleways," had bowled 4.440
consecutive league games. The
death of a sister in Connecticut
caused Mrs. Quigley to miss a
league match for the first time
in 27 years.
Mrs. Quigley started her great
stretch of games in 1922 in the
Washington Ladies League at
the Coliseum, which was torn
down in the early 1905 to
make room for the Archives
Building at Ninth and Pennsyl-
vania avenue. For many years
she bowled on the Beeques team
of which Bronson Quaites, one
of the city's pioneer woman
duckpinners, was captain. She
bowled for "a years in the
Ladies District League. This
season she is a member of the
Hi-Skor team of the Capital
Major Ladies circuit.
For more than a quarter cen
tury Mrs. Quigley has been a
member of various teams cap
tanned by Lorraine Gulli.
The streak was broken Mon
day night, when Mrs. Quigley
failed to bowl with the Hi-Skor
Restaurant team.

a witticism, never will be mis-
quoted. He's what reporters might
term bad copy" but he still
could be good news to the Mats.
AIS lack of tongue-wagging is
no barrier to baseball success.
Some of the Mats more proficient
performers of the past-Ossie
Bluege and Cecil Travis, for in
stance-were silent specimens.
Like them, Kozar is hoping his &C
tions will suffice.
Kozar was no sensation as a
rookie last year. He was a $50
hitter and no more than an ade-
.quate second baseman, but there
were occasions when he fielded
brilliantly and batted encourag-
ingly.

afternoon, for he is teamed with
the silent man Of the majors in
Kozar. They've nick-named him
"mumbles" and the tag will stick.
Kozar is a dead ringer for an
other second baseman Of other
years, at least conversationally.
Charley Gehringer of the Detroit
Tigers would say hello" to his
mates when reporting for spring
training and "goodby'' in the fall.
Extracting words from Kozar is
akin to pulling teeth with wet
noodles.
Safe Against Misquotes.
Silence can be golden. though,
as Kozar demonstrated last sum-
mer in Cleveland. There a swarm
of friends from Pittsburgh and
McKees Rock converged to be-
stow a new car upon him-a
rookie who had been playing in
the majors a few weeks.
Kozar is not talkative. but he
creates no enemies. He smiles
when Jake Early, the Mats unin-
hibited catcher, makes such
cracks as You're looking good
Al-who's your embalmer?" He
smiles, but conserves his conver-
sation.
