SPORTS. * Bowling Treats Are Offered Tonight | WO BIG CLASHES ARE ON SCHEDULE Ellett and Welstenholme, at Same Time, Will Strive to Boost Averages. OWLING fans can expect two B hard-fought team matches to- night when . ‘the Convention Hall-Petworth and Curb Cafe- Stanford Paper Co. clashes are staged at Convention Hall and Lucky Strike, respectively. Their principal in- terest will' be centered about the in- dividual success of the two stars now staging a merry race for high average honors in District League. Perce Eilett, who has tired of the monotony of setting and breaking his own records in Odd Fellows League, is making a strong bid for the high average laurels in the big circuit. When the teams take the alleys tonight he will be trailing Glenn Wolstenholme, the Convention Hall anchor man, by six_pins. Ellett, with a 121-3 average to date, hopes to pass Wolstenholme and at the same time aid his Stanford Paper Co. team to victory over the strong Curb Cafe team. Glenn has a 121-9 mark for the first five weeks of competition. He 2nd Ellett are waging one of the most spirited individual races the league has seen at this stage of the race. The Odd Fellow League ace will hold a slight advantage over his Conven- tion Hall rival tonight, it appears. Curb Cafe presents a much stronger prob- lem for Stanford Paper Co. pinmen than Petworth is expected to set for Convention Hall. Wolstenholme may not be extended to add extra pins unless the Petworth clan does the un- expected. Gleen is not likely to let up in his drive for high average honors, but Ellett and his mates probably will be fighting all the way against the Curbmen. Topping the individual average list in District League is a much-coveted honor in itself, but the past two years that the Washington Duckpin Associa- tion has been ranking the 10 leading bowlers the. high average man of the circuit has been awarded the No. 1 berth. Jack Whalen last year ,maintained the high average in District League despite illness during the last few weeks of the campaign. He was both the popular and official choice for the No. 1 ranking position. His 118-5 average was the best recorded in any league in the District. The previous year it was Brad Mandley, District League high- average man, who received the top ranking position. Ellett and Wolstenholme are not alone in their battle for the District League high average title for the current sea- son, however. Irving Billhimer, one of Ellett's teammates, is on the heels of the two leading contenders and is in a position to pass either tonight. His average is 120-7. Jack Whalen also is a strong con- tnder for the high average crown. It is his aspiration to top the high aver- age list for the second successive season, thereby writing a new record into the league history and at the same time making himself the leading contender | for the No. 1 ranking position. | The outcome of tonight's matches | merely will settle the high average leadership for another week. But one- fifth of the schedule will have been completed at the end of tonight's matches and a long stretch remains. All of those in the race for the honor are determfned to carry on through every box &nd every match. Indica- tions are that the District League is to f | and Ethel Smith. * Chadwick, M. McClung, Jean Shapiro, WITH THE Washington's two new doubles duck- pin leagues, the men's loop, which open- ed three weeks ago, and the women's circuit, which opens tomorrow night at the Arcadia, will not conflict with the many intercity matches planned for local bowlers during the next four or five months. League teams will be permitted to obtain postponements of their scheduled matches to fill special dates. In organizing the doubles circuit and arranging_ all matches on Saturday nights, officials of both leagues fore- saw probable conflicts with special matches later in the season and arrang- ed to permit bowlers to postpone their league matches for outside contests. Intercity bowling activities will get under ‘way tomorrow night, when How- ard Campbell takes his District League King Pin team to Baltimore for a match with Cashmeyer’s All-Stars. These Maryland bowlers have long been rivals of the District stars and will come here November 17 for a return match. George Lange, former Cashmeyer star, who has been performing consistently with the King Pin team here, will re- turn to his first love tomorrow night and either Al Work or Perce Ellett will take his place in the King Pin line-up. man and George Friend are the regular members of the team who will make the trip, 1t hopes materialize, the women’s | doubles league, opening tomorrow night, | Will find practically every class A fair | sex bowler in competition. Entries will not close until 8 o'clock tomorrow night, when the teams take the alleys.
