SPORTS. THE . E IN§ STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., FRIDAY, MARCH 14, 1930. SPORTS. Von Dreele’s Defeat by Campbell No Criterion of His Rank as Bowling Star STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE BALTIMOREAN SIX TIMES HAS ROLLED GAME OF 189 Reaches Peak of Skill With Three-Game Total of | 497—Averages 121 for 497 Strings Shot on 22 Sets of Mapleways. BY R. D. THOMAS. RAY VON DREELE of Baltimore rolled only 589 and lost to How- ard Campbell by 32 pins at man; the Lucky Strike last night, and of those who saw the Dutchman.for the first time are wondering today if he hasn't been over-rated. Nix To .lveme 118, or one stick short of it, would be fairly satistying to most star bowlers, but it brought disappointment to Von Dreele. He's accustomed to 600 sets with an occasional 700 score in 5-game matches. ‘Washington is regarded throughout the East as the center of duckpin tn]e‘x'x‘tj,, but nogt among its hundreds of expert bowlers will be found one whose record can compare with the Baltimorean’s. It's an event in the lives of most crack duckpinners to shoot a game in the 180s. Six times Von Dreele has rolled 189. Much has been said of Clem Weidman's 120 average in the Dis- trict League, which shoots on a circuit of seven pin plants. If Weidman holds it to the end he will have an all-time Washington record. But Von Dreele has an average for| this season of 121 for 437 games rolled in all sorts of competition and on 22 sets of drives. In the Baltimore major league his agevage is 120 and if he maintains this he will have beaten the revious Baltimore record for a ceason’s league average by 3 points. He estab- lished three seasons ago the mark he is_trying now to beat. o Record Not Recognized. Because there was no foul ne judge the five-game set of 756 rolled by Von Dreele in a Baltimore doubles league has never been reccgnized oMeially as a record. But it was anything but a fluke, Not in 15 years has the count been guilty of a foul. slide about 8 inches fa: line than a majority of expert bowlers. The name of one Washington bewler is a by-word because he once rolled 445 in league play. Twice, under the same conditions, Von Dreéele has shot 450 and once 458, which equals the District's all-time record. Twice in league competition and four times in other kinds of matches Vo Dreele has come within cne stick of equaling the best game ever rolled here in a league. “It's queer about my 189s,” says he— “just can’t’get that other pin. Once I made 10 straight marks. for this score without a double-header. In each of the other games I got a triple-header.” Any one of these performances wuldk be the high point in the bowling careers of nine-tenths of those who have won fame on the mapleways, but Von Dreele has still another achievement that pales all the others. In a 12-man indevendent match. rolled on four drives. he shnt 497 for three consecutive games. The scores ‘were 165, 170 and 162. A crowd that filled every inch of soe>- tator space saw Campbell beat the Bal- timorean. 621 to 589, and it was a typi- cal Campbell victory. Howard bore down successfully at a critical time.

Swain made eight marks, shooting flat in the seventh and tenth frames. He had two disconnected strikes. For 15 consecutive seasons Earle Stocking has rolled anchor for King David Lodge in the Masonic League. He never has carried a flashy average, but has been more than moderately successful in the hot spot. When King David was struggling for the Masonic League pennant last sea- son Stocking proved his mettle with an unusual streak of tenth-box marking. In each of three successive matches he made good an opportunity to win a game in the last frame. # As a youth in college Earle aspired to be a Shakespearean actor and even now his showman’s instinct occasional- ly asserts itself. He built up the dra- matic atmosphere around each of his QGarrison finishes by carefully ascer- u,ininc how many pins he needed to win. His success was uncanny. In the first crisis the demand was for a mark and seven-pin count. He got just that. In’ the second he gathered 29 sticks to win -J;in by a margin of one. In third he was told that a mark and nine-pin count would lift the bacon. This time he made a fortunate mistake. Instead of 19 pins he got 20 and a re- &2\:\: revealed that 19 would only have Stocking was nt the other night when . these dol were recalled by Frits Oppenheimer for the edification it broke promised something of real interest. “The next week,” Oppenheimer re- sumed, “Earle could have won a game with a flat eight.

Frazier is the idol of a bevy of tiny lads who disport at the Arcadia, usually accompanied by parents. They would be quite as well off in the caré of Monk, whose interest in them is real. One of the shayers had a special match on recently with a youngster at Silver Spring and Frazier went along as man- ager, coach and moral support. His charge won and of the two Monk easily was the more enthusiastic. Today he will start a tournament for the pantelooned brigade, with all over 14 years of age barred. The winner will receive a gold medal Takoma Park, D. C. will have a bowling alley starting tomorrow and it promises to be a marked success. C. W.

Holder of both the State and the Middle Atlantic titles, Miss Holzderber intends to make the trip and will leave with the other members of the team on April 22, Vardon Golf Calls For Arm Swing BY SOL METZGER.

It's an arm swing entirely, an arm swing that automatically whips the clubhead on through and out toward the hole. Details, such as the pivot, foot- work, wrists and so on take care of themselves according to this fine old player. So, we'll take his method as a pattern these next few weeks and look into it in the hope that many of the secrets of this perplexing problem of lowering one's score will become more clear.

Seme of the members of the Manor Club claim that Pitt's new wrinkle from the tee is bad news to Miller B. Stevinson, and that “Steve” will have more trouble than he usually has trouncing the Manorite this year, if he beats him at all. They assert that if Harry can avoid that bouncing hook, which used to end his ball far off in the tall and uncut rough or in the mazes of a flock of traps, he will depose the District amateur champion as the top ranking golfer hereabouts. Harry has been practicing steadily for the past few weeks and is playing with the same grace and skill that has kept him in the forefront of the local amateurs for several years.
