Frank (Bub) Guethler, noted
southpaw duckpinner. was un-
easy when his team, Glebe
Radio, drew lanes Nos. 81 and
% in the city tournament at
Fort Davis. A week prior on the
same drives Guethler suffered.
But last night he carved a set
Of 1874 which gained him the
lead in championship all-events
with a total of 1892, an average
of 1866. In singles he rolled
456 and doubles, 1872.
Guethler Supplanted Clarence
Appler, who a week prior rolled
the only 200 game in the 45-year
history of the tournament, a 202
with the Northeast Body Works
team. Saturday night Appler
shot 381 in doubles and 379 in
singles for an all-events score of
1909. In a second team ap-
pearance, he rolled 1872 with
Plaza Sport Shop, for remark
ably consistent evening. With
Northeast he registered 450,
which counted in the all-events.
Mickey Nocera of the Crawley
Memorial League at Mount
Rainier, had no intention of
rolling singles until coaxed by
Lew Malitz, director of the mems
tournament, who needed another
bowler to fill a squad. Nocera
proceeded to shoot the top set
of the tournament, 468, with
games of 1859, 126 and l73, which
gave him the lead in Glass A.
For the same reason, Malitz
dragged Mickey into the Hi-Skor
Heart Fund tournament last
winter. and he won.
Another who surprised him
self was Jim Darr of the Be-
thesda 545 League. who rolled
465 in doubles with Ben Foley,
then entered the singles where
he shot 402. Now he's looking
for a team spot so he can qualify
for the all-events. Darr and
Foley moved to the top in Glass
A doubles with 6-806. For six
games, Jim averaged 144-3.
