SPORTS. Washington Duckpin Devotee Rolls 22 Games to JACOB FRECH HAS BOWLED 71 YEARS Still in Uncle Sam’s Employ, Although Well Past Age for Retirement. BY R. D. THOMAS. HE proverbial three-score and ten may be a generous allotment of | years on this man's earth, but Jacob Frech, former chief clerk | of the adjutant general's office numbers one more than that in his| bowling career alone. America’s oldest pin shooter is the distinction claimed for Frech whose durable frame was only a trifle stiff today from the exertion of 22 games rolled at the Y. M. C. A. to celebrate his eighty-second birthday. On Ma 1, two years ago, Frech bowled 20 strings and still was stro: enough to go on. He rolled 21 gam on his birthday last vear. This time he added another and it is his hope to increase the workout by one more string | next May 1 Game Has Changed. | Frech was a bowler before the Civil i bout 50 years before the now was invented. In that ing era of bowling in this country only the tenpin was known and the game was plaved under different rules than now. Frech recalled that the ball | was considerably smaller than the sphere of today and had no finger holes. ~Also that dead wood was left on the alley “This made it more of a scientific game n it is now, I believe,” he said, discussing the dead wood, “because it permitted a wider variety of shots.” The veteran was 11 years old when he rolled his first game. This was at a bowling academy in the town of Wil- liamsburg, N. Y., which is now Brooklyn. | Just about that time young Jacob, who was brought by his parents to this country from Germany when 6 years old, landed a job that was to jead him to distinction as a long-time servant of Uncle Sam. He has rounded | out 66 years in the Navy and War De- partments and could have been retired 11 years ago. Four times the Secre- tary of War has approved an exten- sion of service beyond the retirement age for a man who has reveled all his life in toil and hopes to finish up in harness. Works for Hamilton. | When Frech was 11 he attracted the sttention of Philip Hamilton, the| youngest son of Alexander Hamilton, first Secretary of the Treasury. Hamil- | ton needed a bright youngster in his law office, and the hustling little immi- JACOB FRECH, THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C; THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1929.

Of the hundreds to compete only three have collected the special prize. In his performance yesterday the old- timer was paced by a nephew, Greer Ellis, and the latter’s friend, Charles Critchfield. At the finish he appeared to be quite as fresh as the two youngsters. He started encouragingly with a game of 102 and held this pace through a large part of the afternoon. When he scored only 76 in his elevenih game some thought he was weakening. But not so. He made a rapid comeback and his last 11 games included cne of 121 and on of 120 His goneral average was 95.
