SPORTS. Bowlmg Promoters Have CTY TITLE AFFAR IS A MONEY MAKER Summing Up Shows Coliseum Will Get Neat Profit Out of Event. BY R. D. THOMAS, OWLING alley proprietors used %o insist that the. Washington g City Duckpin Iumchuon tour- nament was a financial dud. It was desired mainly for the pres- tige and advertising it brought to a bowling plant. Only 15 cents a game is paid the alley and the host b- lishment com.rxbum a sizeable slice of coin to the prize fund. “We can't make a respectable profit out of it they said. Yet five years ago the magnates fought for the tour- nament like dogs over a bone. The argument finally was ‘obviated by giving each set of interests a erack at it in tum. And gone is the talk of no profits. The current event at the Coliseum is the fattest bowling plum ever plucked by a Washington magnate, in this case Harry 1. Carroll. An analysis of tournament figures today reveals an assured eflxl! of at least $1,000 for the Coliseum. In round numbers, 12,000 games will be rolled; $1,800 taken; $500 turned back to the association plus a $300 donation, leav- ing $1,000 net for the alley. Of course, the usual overhead must be figured, but this is almost earned by extra games rolled. Bowlers gravi- tate to the alleys on which they are to engage in tournaments. It must be reckoned, too, that the city tournament comes at a time when bowling begins to fade from the sports picture. It means an extra month of hea\y business for the alley that stages Samrda\ is the only open night in the big tournament and two rival con- cerns of the Coliseum, the Arcadia and | k¢ wiil take advantage !h e Convention Hall, of it. They will stage a one-ball tour- nament on the next two Saturdays, the first round coming at Convention Hall. This is a_popular form of competi- tion and a large entry is expected. A Juicy purse is guaranteed the winner. D. A. Davis and H. B. Lovett slipped in a 668 to take the lead in class C doubles. Davis had 349 and Lovett, 319. Entries for the annual fournament of the Washington Women's Duckpin As- sociation closed last night, but Lorraine Gulli, the secretary, was unable to say i“-_'. this morning how many teams would shoot. A number of entries are in the | Lock mail. Last year 43 teams and a pro- portionate number of doubles and sin- gles took part. Miss Gulli was certain that this record would be beaten.

Carroll has stepped slong as a bar- rister and apparently is not as inter- ested in bowling as of yore. Every duekpin organization in the country is helping George Isemann the N. D. B. C. secretary, gather informa- tion on which to base his selection of & national big ten. Washington is assured of at least two places. Bradley Mand- ley and Jack Whalen hardly can be overlooked. Baltimore’s leading candidate for na- tional ranking is Ray Von Dreele, al- though the National Duckpin Bawlmg Congress refused to recognize his 5~ game record of 782 because no foul line Judge was present. The Dutchman has enough distinction without the record to warrant high respect. Fouls by dubs have been few in the clty tournament, which is encou: to the W. C. D.
