On October 3, 1910, a young
bowler named Dave McCarty,
shooting with the Mount Vernon
team in the National Capital
League, catapulted to duckpin
fame which fingers to this day
when he rolled a game of 1872.
Whenever outstanding feats Of
the mapleways are the subject,
invariably there's a mention of
'that 1872 rolled by Dave Nc
Carly"
It was the first unforgettable
score in the history of the sport
here. At any rate no book shows.
and nobody seems to recall, a
previous performance to compare
with it.
Even the great Harry Krauss,
manager of the Palace alleys,
where the game was rolled. was
excited enough to observe:
There's a record that may stand
for a long time" 1t stood for
eight years, during which time
bowling conditions steadily i'm
proved and the scores likewise.
McCarty's record fell during the
1917-18 season, when Tip O'Neill.
a member of the Treasury team
in the Departmental League. fired
q game of 1873. Nowadays scores
of 1872 and better receive only
passing attention.
Half Century With League.
At 66 McCarty is rounding out
q half century of bowling as a
member of The Evening Star
League, which was formed in
1905 and is the oldest bowling
organization in the city.
Today he revealed a hitherto
unpublished fact about his memo
rable game. It was rolled mostly
with a damaged, discarded ball
THE ball had a hole in it," Nc
Carly said. land Krauss had put
it on the lower rack of return
out of circulation. That ball and
my grip seemed made for each
other, and its weight just suited
me.
Il held it in such a way that
the damaged part never touched
the alley. If it had, it would have
bounced"
Game Described.
The Star at that time described
his performance:
Starting off with % in the
third box, McCarty chalked up g
double header. only to run into
a split in the sixth. He came
