SINGLE duckpin, which wavered, but refused to fall when three of its wooden mates crashed in a bread-basket spare break last night at the Lucky Strike, cost Bradley Mandley $600 and the na- tional sweepstakes crown and sent young Jack Whalen skyrocketing to his most glorious victory and the fattest wad of cash ever at stake in the history of the game— | $1,000. Jack Whalen won the purse and the first United States sweeptakes, tri- umphing over 39 of the country’s best duckpinners with a 15-game total of 1,816, but in defeat, Brad Mandley, as courageous & bowler as ever stepped on * the mapleways, shared in the esteem of the hundreds who milled in wild efforts to catch a glimpse of the finish.
