Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1949-01-16
BY Rod Thomas

Bowlers employed at the United
States Bureau of Ships seem to have
turned up couple of nuggets in
the rich diggings of The Stars 2lst
annual tournament.
A check yesterday of incomplete
returns from the So maple plants
engaged revealed Richard w
RICHTER and Helen Vrabel, both
from the Bureau of Ships but un-
acquainted, as the probable leaders
after two weeks Of competition in
the month long event.
RICHTER, a 107average performer
entered from the Bureau Of Ships
League at Penn Recreation, moved tt
the front in several sections Of the
standings. He led IN gross sets with
a tally of 495 which included a
handicap of s.. His scratch set OF
432 was best and his l78 the highest
game reported. His other games
were 1874 and 100.
Miss Vrabel, who averages 81
giving her a handicap of 70, reg
istered a gross 1913 at the Anacostia
Spillway while competing in the
Saturday Night Mixed League. Her
games we're 113, 1873 and lis for a
scratch total Of 36l. Only two sticks
behind her was Mrs. Theodore D.
Peyser who registered l23-43l in
the Women's Country Club League
at the Bethesda Bowling Center.
Her games were 118. SO and 81 for
a scratch count OF 800.
Miss Vrabel is no stranger to The
Star tournament payoff. She fin
iShed 18th last year with gross OF
4l6. Her scratch 36l in the current
event was the best in a bowling
career spanning several seasons.
RICHTER and Miss Vrabel have set
up formidable targets for aspirants
to first prizes, but their scores are
far from discouraging to pinshoot-
ers who hope to collect handsomely.
One thousand prizes are guaranteed
and there probably will be even
more, what with a record entry in
sight, and the awards are graded
gradually. Second place, for instance
will be worth almost as much as
first; with third rating bundle of
cash, fourth the same, and so on
down. In many instances there will
be string of fat prizes OF the same
denominations.
