Tonight's results are bound to be
important, if indeed the ultimate
disposition of the title can't be
traced to them.

Off his recent performance,
Weldon must be rated as WASH
ington's foremost candidate for
the National Duckpin All-Star
Championship. for which 80
bowlers, hailing from New Eng
land to Georgia, will shoot Fri
day, Saturday and Sunday at
Colonial Village.
Certainly he will be a magnet
for many fans. Sonny served
notice on all rivals over the last
week end when he averaged
1927 for IA consecutive games
in two tournaments.
In the National Capital Open.
ne won MS first major victory
of the season, although in one
tournament, the News 30-Game
Elimination, he let loose a blast
that resounded throughout the
duckpin world, an all-time, five
game record of 1856.
Unless there is a let-up in his
work, Weldon may find the 80
game All-Star tournament a
physical strain. A topf1ight car
penter and an assiduous worker,
the 31-year-old Sonny is in con-
slant demand. In several tour
naments this season he plainly
showed the effects of fatigue
from extra work.

best officiating teams. They had
a common characteristic of
seeming to be angry after calling

carrying the ball to the foul
line for the free throw. But it
was comforting to see Joe and
Orrel come out on the floor for
a game when the teams were

you knew it wouldn't be too Rot

troll.
Statements that the current
Pan American Games in Mexico
City are the second" in the
series have raised an objection
from George Marshall. president
of the Redskins, who claims the
honor of promoting the first"
Pan American games at Dallas
in July. 1887. AS supporting evi-
dence, Marshall produced a pro-
gram showing that athletes from
Brazil, Uruguay, Cuba. Colon
bia, Canada, Venezuela, Chile.
Peru and Texas. as we'll as the
United States. competed at
Dallas.
Had some pretty good boys
there, too." George added. Take

Couldn't get much better, could
we?"
Referee of the meet was Law
renee di Benedetto of New Or
leans, pillar of the National
AAU and later its president,
while Jim Farley, jeremiah T.
Mahoney and James V. Alfred,
all important figures, were hon.
orary referees. 1t seems that
Marshall has a point in referring
to the present set as the third"
Pan American games.

Social notes from here and
there-Mr. Al Costello, the we'll
known sports writer, entertained
a small gathering of friends in
the new recreation room of his
Four Corners, Md, home. The
guests made it sort of a house
warming by presenting gifts to
their host.
1t reminded Dick McCann of
the time Sid Carroll, then gen.
eral manager of the Redskins
and McCann's predecessor in
that post, had a record" party
for some AZ guests. Sid was the
recipient of AZ platters of Hail

Wilson, Miner Merge
Athletics, Will Return
To Football Next Fall

Wilson Teachers College and
Miner Teachers College have
merged their athletic depart
ments, with intercollegiate COM
petition in the new integrated
setup to start this spring in base
ball and tennis.
They also will return to foot
ball next fall with a six-game
schedule already booked. Wilson
did not have football last fall,
and Miner has been without a
team since 1850.
Eventually, the two schools
will be merged into the District
of Columbia Teachers College
when building is available, but
the merger of athletes starts i'm
mediately. The schools are about
half a mile apart now, Wilson at
Eleventh and Harvard streets
and Miner at Georgia avenue
and Euclid street NV.
Miner has had no baseball
team for several years. DR.. Phil
Fox. the one-man coaching staff
at Wilson. has invited Miner
athletes to try out for the base
ball team at Wilson. and so far
two candidates have responded.
More are expected. There are
four candidates from Miner for
the tennis team.

tough to do), Stalcup would top
the famous 78-game average
rolled by Astor Clarke in his
heyday during the season Of
1939-40.
Weldon f1ubbed a chance last
week to beat the Clarke mark,
1920, highest official league
average in Washington duckpin
history. Sonny needed 130 in
his final game last week and
shot lit to miss by 13 sticks.
Stalcup's average for II games
is 131-44. He missed a game
early in the season through
tardiness.
It's a singular rivalry between
Weldon and Stalcup. The Clarke
record has been a secondary tar
get. Both are taking dead aim
at the District record for more
than 100 games. This, 130-4l for
los, was hung up by Pat Cres-
cenZi in the District Major
League in 1950-51. Crescenzi, by
the way, will be at anchor for
Glebe tonight.
II Stalcup surpasses Clarke's
figures, it is questionable that
the new record would be rec
ognized officially, according to
John Parise, the leagues scorer
Technically, it wouldn't be for
complete performance. The Ma
tional Duckpin Congress recog-
nizes only records rolled under
that condition. Stalcup's aver
age for 78 games thus might be
claSsed as a record pace for part
of a season.
Never before, it is believed,
have two bowlers in the same
league been going for an all
time District area record for av-
erage. The Stalcup-Weedon duel
has overshadowed a piping hot
pennant race which may reach
a climax tonight. Chevy Chase

coach, Ken Loeff1er. remember
ing a North Carolina State-La-
Sale game Phil worked a year
ago, was not inclined to rate Fox
so highly. An exchange OF let
ters came to light, followed by
angry threats of law suits, ETC.,
but the storm blew over. Now
there is a chance that Fox and
Loef7er will meet again, possi-
bly, with all the chips on the
table.
Fox doesn't expect any unto
ward incidents.
1T seems odd in way" Phil
said. thinking about the posi-
bilities of such a reunion, but
I'll just be out there calling them
as I see them if I do work a
LaSalle game"
Loeffler undoubtedly will be
concentrating too strongly on the
business at hand to be fretting
about past grievances. Chances
are that LaSalle, unbeaten in
