With three 400 sets in row and
seven 4o0s in II sets, Charley
Beall, jr., of the Zone Roofing
team has been the Minor District
Leagues hottest pinman since he
started firing in the circuit II
weeks ago.
His average for the 80 games is
1909. In succession, he has tailed
sets of 418. 329. 402. 357. 416. 388,
424, ,359, 401, 401 and 404.
Besides making great strides as
a bowler the last several years,
Beall also has gained prominence
on the sandlot as player-manager
of the crack FBI baseball team.
Today Beall is the ace of the
FBI bowling team in the Federal
League at King Pin. It was a
different story some Is years ago
at Arcadia when Astor Clarke was
the G-men's top star. Beall, just
launching a bowling career, had
tough time breaking into the
strong lineup.
Despite his dazzling pace, how
ever Beall started in the minor
loop too late in the season to
qualify for the average prize.
Two season records were marked
in the Minor District last night
when Quality Grill upped it's own
team mark one pin tn 1875 and
Walter Cunningham of Clarendon
hit a 1875 which was climaxed
with a double-header strike after
seven spares. His set was 442.
A sweep over Silver Spring in
a postponed match and 81 VIC
tory over King Pin moved Hyatts-
vile to second place in the Cap
itol Ladies' Major loop. Louise
Thomas helped to beat King Pin
with 353. Leading Chevy Chase
stayed eight games in the van
with a 2-1 decision over Silver
Spring.
Hi-Skor, aided by Lorraine Gull

deadlock third place with the
losers. Jessie Keith shone with

In Laurel Race Results

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Feb. % P).
States Attorney James c. Nor
ton yesterday announced he would
seek legislation to require a 20

Terps Still Face Fight
For Tourney Bid After
Whipping Richmond

Maryland's weary basketball
team advanced another step to-
ward Southern Conference tour
nament berth by beating Rich
mond, 1888, at College Park last
night-but there's still trouble
ahead.
Maryland meets George WASH
ington tomorrow night at Uline
Arena and VMI at College Park
Saturday night, and may have to
win both games to earn a bid to
the tourney next week at Raleigh,
N. C.
An even split would get the
Terps If Duke beats North Caro-
lima tomorrow night at Durham,
but if the Tar Heels beat Duke for
q 10-7 Conference record, Mary
land would have to win both
games to nose them out with 1877.
An even split would leave the
Terps at 11-8. and behind Caro-
lima in the percentage column If
the Tar Heels beat Duke.
May Edge Out Clemson.
It still is possible for Maryland
to beat out Clemson for one of
the two places at stake among
the three teams although all
Clemson has to do to finish ahead
of both Maryland and North
Carolina is to win one of it's two
remaining games with South
Carolina and The Citadel. Glenn
son already has beaten the latter
by 26 points.
The low score in the Richmond
game last night wasn't due to as
much possession-type basketball
as to the poor shooting of the
Terps. They couldn't buy a
basket for several minutes and
scored only IS points in the first
half to IA for Richmond,
Brawley Makes Lone Basket.
Lee Brawley, who has a new
scoring record for Maryland
teams, made his only basket of
the night just 80 seconds before
the final gun. The top scorers
for the Terps were Don Moran
and Jim johnson with Is and
10 points.

you don't attract too much sus-
picion. I guess it's pretty hard
to tell"
He said the glamor of New York
played part in his downfall.
IT'S one thing to be in New
