Woshington's Bid
For MIA Berth
Nav Be Revived

Speculation on Washington's
chances for a franchise in the
National Basketball Association
cropped up again today as Nor
ris Fox enplaned for New York
to meet with Maurice Podoloff,
the MIA president.
The fact that Podoloff invited
Fox, who heads the Washington
group trying to obtain the fran
chise. has some observers guess
ing that Washington will def
nitely be in the MIA next
season.
The MIA recently turned
down bids by both Baltimore and
Washington to pick up the fran
chise which collapsed in Balti-
more midway of last season.
However. the Washington group
already had completed purchase
of the franchise. player-con-
tracts and other assets of the
Baltimore organization. subject
to a granting OF franchise rights
by the MIA. The Baltimore
group last week filed suit against
the MIA on the grounds that the
leagues action prevented the
sale from going through.

Weldon wasn't the best per-
former in the District Minor last
night. For instance. Danny
Triplett had 436 with Takoma
Billiards when his team set a

was Bill DUNCAN, who rolled
426.

BOWLING
WITH ROD THOMAS

A District record was claimed
for Aston Clarke some Is years

mapleways fired a total of 80
duckpin sets of 400 or better in
two leagues in one season.
If it was a record. it no longer
is. When Larkin Sonny
Weldon shot 426 for the Har-
rison Roofers in the District
Minor League last night at Sill
yer Spring it was the 33rd time
this season he topped 400. with
the big scores about evenly di-
vided between the District Major
and Minor Leagues.
The 426 was in contrast to a
366 rolled by Weldon the night
before with the Standard Auto
Body Works team in the major
league. But the 366 was enough
to clinch the league title and
establish an all-time area record
for a normal league season.

The Greater Washington
Duckpin Association in it's cur

1851. 1t was for los games
and is specified as high indi-
vidual average for over 100
games" Clarke's is described
as high individual average"

Supreme Court by the Government would
be most readily found In the fact that
this weeks decision of the Court Of
Appeals resulted from a tie vote, and
had 1t not been for the absence, through
death, of Chief Judge Stephens, the de-
ciSion probably would have gone the
other way. With four of eight of the
appellate judges apparently deciding with
the Government, the Government may
feel that it is under obligation to go
all the way in clearing up the matter
as to validity of the indictment.
The extent of that obligation, how
ever, must in the end be determined by
the Governments own dispaSsionate
review Of the evidence it has accumu-
lated to sustain its charges evidence
not yet presented in court If there is
reasonable doubt in the minds of the
responsible Government officials as to
the weight and propriety of that evi-
dence, Mr.. baltimore is entitled to the
benefit of that doubt and in view of the
record to date the case against him
should be dropped.
