BOWLING
WITH ROD THOMAS

A stranger watching Molly
Pitcher bowl tenpins wonders
how this mere slip of humanity
handles the big ball with such
precision. Yet she does it well
enough to have won the singles
and all-events championships of
the Washington Women's Tenpin
Association and in the most con-
vinclng manner possible. She was
victorious in both events in
scratch and handicap competi-
ton, with general average of
1891.
But 1t is remarkable that Miss
Pitcher. a native of Easton.
Mimi. who came to Washington
in 1858, can bowl at all. On New
Years eve of 1851. while on
Government duty in Japan, she
was caught in a hydrogen gas
explosion and so severely burned
that "only the luck of the Irish"
to use her own quote. saved her
life. More than half the skin
area was involved, but so CON-
plete was the recovery that, Miss
Pitcher says, she came through
without any too noticeable scars
after several skin CRAFTS through
the generosity of the Air Force"
In Japan she was administra-
tive assistant to Gen. Elton F.
Hammond. Chief Signal Officer,
CHG. The accident occurred
while she was serving as a hostess
at an Air Force function.
While a student at the Univer-
sity Of Minnesota, Miss Pitcher
was in the process of becoming
a Navy cadet nurse when disas-
ter struck at home. A brother
was reported missing in action.
Her mother. attacked by an in
sane woman who escaped from
an asylum, became semipara-
lyzed. Not long after, her other
brother was critically injured
playing college football. Also
her father, district manager for
an oil company. was crippled by
arthritis. Little Molly left college
to play nurse
In 1946 she got a job with
Social Security as an executive
secretary and thus began her
Government career. She now is
with the Office of the Deputy
Chief of Staff for Logistics.
Miss Pitchers Irish wit, sunny
temperament and comeliness,
plus her bowling ability, make
her pleasing addition to Wash
ington's rapidly growing tenpin
colony. In brief, she's quite a
colleen.
The Palmer Ford team of
Hyattsville High School is the
new girls champions of the
American Junior Bowling Con-
gress duckpin division. And the
Hyattsville lassies won the title
the tough way - from scratch.
They shot 1853 to triumph over
a sizable field including young
sters from Maryland, Virginia,
North Carolina and Connecticut.
Mary Ann Brosner, who paced
the team with ISL, won the tro-
ply for high set and Jan An
drusic receives the third-place
individual award with 1923. Mary
Rupert contributed 295, Nancy
Holmes 292 and Natalie Lee 287.
