AT SAKS VAUNTED TEMPLE WIZARDS GRAB AT KING PIN SCALP Cross Currents of Individual Rivalry to Spice Clash Between Hot District League Foes—Girl Stars Line Up for Sweepstakes. BY R. D. THOMAS. OWLING battles don't come more colorful than the one to be fought tonight at the Lucky Strike between the King Pin and Northeast Temple teams. There is that about each of the ten participants to give every frame a dash of spice, and the match as a whole marks a crisis in the careers of two of the strongest teams ever assembled in the powerful District League. The King Pins will be fighting bowlers to make good a boast. to keep a slender lead, the Temple They have sworn to halt the King Pin rush and to vindicate their own assertion that “they are the best in the league.” For years the King Pins have been striving to win a District League pennant. They have set many records and otherwise dis- tinguished themselves, but the most coveted of all duck pin pennants has eluded them. Once they were among four teams that tied for the flag in percentage of games won, but lost out on total pins. They have always been among the strong contenders. With the three-time champion Convention Hall team dismantled the King Pins’ golden opportunity appeared at hand this Fall until the Temples announced their line-up. Maxie Rosenberg had gathered unto himself four more great bowlers to help him repre- sent the Northeast Temple, of which he has been named man- | ager. It was an obvious attempt to “clean up.” The King Pins took somber look at the force Maxie had mustered and decided then and there this was to be another tough season for them. At the start the Temples' plans weht | wrong. They were unable to click at | the right moments and dropped match | after match. Luck was against them. too, in that far weaker teams got “hot™ | against them and won games that ordi- | narily would have been soft for the| Temples. After five matches the Temple standing was six won. nine lost. The rest of the league was laughing at them. “He Who Laughs Last.” “Laugh & lot, now,” grinned Maxie, *because you won't have a chance later.” ‘Then the Temples hit the stride that was expected of them and began to climb. They are now in the upper bracket. Tonight they will be face to face with the prime enemy. If the King Pins can withstand the attack of their strongest foe at this time their chance to win the pennant will | be increased almost immeasurably. It's quite a cinch they will outstrip all the other teams. To gain & stronger ad- vantage over the Temples now would be that much less to be overcome in the stretch. Interesting as the match is from a team standpoint it is hardly less an at- traction as a group of individual battles, ‘There are cross currents of rivalry. For | Instance, on the Temple side is Rosen- berg and with the King Pins is Glenn Wolstenholme. Columns of newspaper space and perhaps a million or two of spoken words were devoted to the feud between these two Winter before last. It may be the last time Wolstenholme and Rosenberg will meet on the maple- way. Shortly Glenn will leave Wash- Ington, possibly for keeps. It is hoped not. He has accepted a place with the Post Office Department in Florida. Youngsters in.Spotlight. Glenn's younger brother and team- mate, Jack, has a natural rival in Paul Hairison. They are the outstanding young stars of the latest crop, and both re having a big season. At anchor for the King Pins is How- ard Campbell, & at bowler in every espect and usually at his best, or at east better than the other fellow, when the pressure is on, Dutch Weidman and Bernie Frye, both consistently bright stars, complete the King Pin line-up. I.mndin%l off for the Temples is Walter Megaw, the Red Terror of bowling. The frrepressible sorrel top tonight will be opposing old teammates whom he helped 599 pins when the King Pins several years ago established a five-game rec- ord of 3,116, an all-time national mark. He starred when they set a Washington City Duckpin Association record of 1,809. His total was 407 when the King Pins rolled the all-time high league for Washington of 1,877. It would re. quire lots of space to give all the high lights of Megaw's colorful and brilliant career. He will have the spot tonight fre- quently. Not the least conspicuous Templeite will be Georgie Friend, who, with Red Morgan, holds the national doubles title. Georgie is a former owner of the Dis~ trict League record for a season’s aver- age. Then there's Joe Mulroe, who sel- dom is sensational, but is a consistently reliable pin mauler. It's the biggest bowling show of the | season so far and the Lucky Strike will be taxed to handle the gallery. The match will be rolled on alleys 17 and 18, starting at 8 o'clock. In the meantime the girl bambinos are preparing to have it out for indi- vidual supremacy, not to speak of sev- eral hunks of cash. Tomorrow night a field of more than 40 will start com- petition in the Bill Wood Sweepstakes, three games to be rolled at the King Pin No. 2, starting at 8 o'clock. Con- cluding sets will be shot on successive Saturdays at the King Pin No. 1 and Lucky Strike. It will be a case of the field against Lorraine Gulli, the defending cham- pion. Among the prominent contenders will be Marjorie Bradt Smith, national all-events champion, and Irene Mis- chou, national singles champion, who lost the all-events crown to Marjorie in _the roll-off of a tie at Richmond. Eagle-eyed Mickey Whalen, the king of foul line watchmen, will be on the job. The lists will be held open until a half hour before play time. Follow- ing are the entries to date: Bronson Quaites, Marjorie Bradt Smith, Vir- ginia Yarnell, Betty Hoffman, Ann Ford, Elaine Palmer, Margaret Miltner, Jen- nie Malcolm, Elizabeth Ackman, Estelle | Seeley, Gladys Lowd, Ned Irey, Mary Rogers, Leda Amidon, Doris Goodall, May Perry, Lucy Owen, Fay Morganstein, Helena Kohler, Lucille Preble, Paul- ine Ford, Mabel Williams, Millicent Russell, Edith Brown, Catherine Quig- ley, Lorraine Gulli, Peggy Babcock, Jean Welch, Thelma Clark, Margaret Lea- man, Bess Kirk, Irene Mischou, Elsie Fischer, Florence Sabean, Ella Lim- erick, Mary Cox, Rowena Shepherd, Sarah Updike, Efle Moore, Helen Sul- livan, Louise Foberti, Maude Yeomans and Madeline Burke Chairman John Evans asks that all lclglnh report 15 minutes before e whistle blows. A challenge from the Tivoli team of Baltimore was accepted promptly by Capt. Campbell of the King Pins, and the first set of a home-and-home series will be rolled tomorrow night at the Lucky Strike, starting at 8:15 o'clock. Campbell will use the same line-up ht. The ore on that faces the Temples toni series will be finished in Balti December 7. In the Monumental City end of the affair the charging southpaw, Al Work, will substitute for Glenn Wolstenholme, who by that time will be in Fiorida. Baltimore's _line-up will _include Keyes, Mejer, Waters, Connor and Ray Barnes. Otz Waters has been poisonous to Washington teams, usually shooting at least 600 against them. ‘Cornell's Lunch, with a set of 1,831 rolled against the Meyer Davis team at the Coliseum, is the owner of a new season's record for the District League. The Lunchmen beat by three pins the previous mark established by the King Pins. The games were 652, 53 and 586. Harry Newman was the individual star, with 404, including a game of 158. It was the first whitewashing the Davismen have received this year. Jack Ulrich of Wilkins Coffee went wild in the Commercial League against Carry Ice~Cream and totaled 423, with strings of 132, 161 and 130. With only 93 pins in the seventh frame, Carl Oberheim of Reclamation, in the Interior Department League, wound up with a score of 164 to tie high game made last week by Frank Updike. Oberheim finished with a triple-header strike. {EHMKE WILL PLAY make duckpin history. Red contributed | "WITH MACKS AGAIN By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, November 22— Howard Ehmke, towering right-handed pitcher of the Philadelphia Athletics, who had indicated that he might retire from base ball, has announced that he had reconsidered and would again be | with the world champions next year.

Ciark said last night & committee from the stadium directorate had for- mally offered him the position vacated when P. T. (Paddy) Harmon, planner | and promoter of the huge indoor sports building, resigned Tuesday. He added he had promised his answer within 24 hours and indicated he would accept the position, but without pay. While several others had been men- tioned for the position, Clark was the board's original choice and he was approached Wednesday. At first he demurred, saying the job might inter- fere with his other business connec- tions. The committee, however, re- fused to accept his first decision as final, pressing him to consider longer, which he consented to do. “My attitude is this,” Clark said, “I consider the stadium a great factor in the promotion of athletic interests. Its leadership is almost as much a civic proposition as the leadership of the opera. If my associates do not stren- uously object I will accept the position. I wouldn't take it with a salary, for I would take it as an opportunity to do something for Chicago.” Clark invested no money in the sta- dium corporation project, but accepted a place on the board of directors and one share of common stock from Paddy Harmon. It was expected that if Clark a cepted the presidency, he would seel some one engaged in active promotion to serve as general manager. Stephen J. Hannagan, who was associated with the late Tex Rickard and the Indianap- olis Speedway, has been prominently mentioned for this job. Nate Lewis, matchmaker under Harmon, is expected to retain that work. Fights Last Night By the Associated Press.
