SPORTS. THE EVENIN STAR, WASHINGTOX. D. C., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, Marjorie Bradt Is On a Bowling Rampage Among | NEWS AND GOSSiP ABOUT BOWLERS WOMAN PIN STARS HAVE NEW LEADER ‘Aspirant for Top Honors Now Has Five Records in Two Circuits. BY R. J. ATKINSON. OOK to your laurels zirls. Marjorie Bradt is on a bowling rampage. Stariling scores recorded to the credit of this fair maple siller during the first six weeks of th current campaign are good reasons wh those woman bowlers who hope to rate highly this season should get busy. Marjorie is' the most sensational and most consistent of the women per- formers in the present campaign and shows no signs of letting up in her drive toward the first ranking position. Looking back over the records of the past.few years we find that each sea- son brings forth some former among the woman bowlers. Lorraine Gulli and Rena Levy generally have heen the popular sclections as the District's leading woman bowlers the past few years, but there usually is one outstanding bowler among the wome: edch year. ‘Perhaps the dual feat of Mrs. Irene Mischou last year in winning both the National and Distrizt all-events title is yet a fresh memory .with lockl bowlers. Her consistent work earned her the top position among the fair bowlers of the country and singled her out os th2 oltstanding = woman bowler of the 1927-28 District campaign. d Is Leading Candidate. At present, Marjorie Bradt is the ding candidate to succeed Mrs. fischou, although the long scason gtind remains. ahead, including the inter-city matches, and National and local tournaments are yet distant. ‘There seems little doubt among her friends that Marjorie will b2 *“the” woman bowler of the 1928-29 season if she can continue the terrific pace which she has maintained in Washington Ladies and Ladies District Leagues. Marjorie holds no less than five in- dividual records in these two major circuits. Her average tops all of the star performers in both leagues. When the last figures were compiled for District League she had a 1058 average, and her remarkable perform- ance in Washington Ladies League Tuesday night enabled her to ring up a still better average in that loop. High individual set records in both of these leagues are also credited to the Commercials-Meyer Davis ace. Her 359 set in District League is likely to stand for some time, and goes down in the all-time records of the Washing- toon Women’s Duckpin Association as one of the best official sets in local bowling history. Her high set mark in Washington Ladies League is 347, another that may withstand the cur- rent championship race. Has Best . Single Game. By registering four successive spares and adding a strike two boxes later, Marjorie turned in the best single game count recorded by a girl bowler this season ‘Tuesday night in Washington Ladies League. ‘This 145 game is another that will withstand many a league match. Lorraine Gulli holds the only coveted season record in the women's leagues not credited to Mar- jorie. Lorraine had a 13¢ game in Dist#i#t Heague -several weeks 2go, which tops‘Marjorie’s best mark in that circuit by several pins. This record is 11 pins under Marjorie’s Washington Ladies League , however. Marjorie's rise to phenomenal success Shus far this season is not altogether a surprise to some of the veterans of the game who have watched her progress the past few seasons. She has been rated a''class A bowler for several seasons, but never befors has she crashed her way to front rank as she has this Fall. Much of’ the success of the Meyer Davis feam in District League and the Commercials in' Washington = Ladies | League may be conservatively attributed to Marjorle’s high and consistent After scanning over her early season record, one feels rather safe in pre- dicting that this is Majorie Bradt's year. outstanding per- | two major | Eo!

Leo Balducci of Lopherines recorded the best set, 338, including a 122 game. ‘Tommy Valenza set the high game mark, 124, and second high set, 332.

Graduate | 1928, SPORTS. - J 5 Girl Pinspillers of the District WOMEN IN SPORT BY CORINNE FRAZIER. Mount Vernon Seminary has ex- panded its physical education program this season to such an extent that classes are held in the morning as well as in the afternoon in order to cover the ground outlined by the directors’ schedule. ‘With Beatrice, Pearson back at her post as physical education director and -\ Miss M. G. Finley co-operating in the capacity of hockey and swimming in- structor, the Nebraska avenue athletes are devoting themselves enthusiastically to their enlarged program, which in- cludes basket ball, hockey, tennis, golf. archery, riding, swimming and a group of light sports or low organized games, featuring deck tennis, captain ball and dodge ball. Mary Elizabeth Haradon is president of the newly formed athletic associa- tion, which operated for the first time last year. Vice president and secretary- treasurer are to be selected this eve- ning from four candidates—Susan Wegener and Kitty Watts on the ticket for vice president and Marianne Steven- son and Katherine Street, nominated for secretary-treasurer. Chairmen of sports have been named as_follows: Susan Wegener, hockey; Jeanne Street, basket ball; Miriam Widenham, tennis, Suzanne Bradley, golf; Mary Reid Simpson, swimming; Jeanne Sy- mington, archery; Margaret Johnson, riding, and Alice Foye, light sports. An innovation, “games day,” inaugu- rated the sport program at Mount Vernon this Fall. During the first week of school all students were given an opportunity to sign up for one or two (not more than two) sports in which they would participate on “games day,” as the first Saturday of the school term was designated. There are 137 students in the school and 137 entries were re- ceived -for the athletic carnival. 1In order to handle the entire program without eliminating any features, it was necessary to run off the light sports pro- gram on the Thursday preceding the official day selected. The entire school was divided into two sections—the East and the West. Wearers of the West side colors won the day, taking first place in archery, tennis, deck tennis and in the basket ball series in which they won two out of three games played. ‘The program included in addition to those sports hockey, golf, croquet doubles, relay races and captain ball. Never before has such enthusiasm been aroused over athletics as is being shown this year, according to Miss rson, and much of it is attributed to the pop- ularity of “games day” as an inaugural feature of the physical education pro- gram. Basket ball holds the limelight now at Mount Vernon, with intersectional games being staged on the outdoor court. Class practice is held on Mon- day, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons, with Wednesday afternoons left open for challenge games between sectional squads. The Collegiate A divi- sion won two straight games from the Form A's (high school group), scoring in_each by a single point. Yesterday Form B tossers challenged the Collegiate B's and defeated them, 12 to 8. A championship class basket ball series will wind up the outdoor season on Thanksgiving day. Hockey practice is under way with a full interclass schedule being arranged by Miss Finley. B. Y. P. U. League basket ball man- agers will meet this evening at 8 o’clock in the B. Y. P. U. headquarters at the Woodward Building, to discuss the schedule for the annual court series. Ten teems are entered in the league this year, according to Frances Cooper, manager, including First Baptist Church, present champions; Bethany, West Washington, Second Church, Fifth Church, Kendall, Petworth, Temple and Grace Churches. Jewish Community Center basketers are scheduled to practice tonight at 8:30 and are requested by Leah Shof- nos, manager, lo report promptly at the center gymnasium. ‘The team is ready for practice games with any sextet in the independent leagues. Challengers are asked to call Miss Shofnos either at her home, At- lantic 1341, or at Main 7200, her office, where she can be reached between § am. and 5 pm. Miss Shofnos is still receiving names of candidates for the squad, on which there are several openings. She reports that any independent player wishing to affiliate with the club may have a try- out during the regular Thursday night practice period. Candidates should call Miss Shofnos in advance. Gymnasfum classes, including swim- ming, floor work, corrective gymnastics and reducing exercises, are held each morning at the center and on Tux:- day and Thursday evenings. ball and basket ball teams in the elementary school leagues had a busy day yesterday.
