LLIE PACINI thought he had shaken off the two- year jinx that had likened his case to the proverbial “Ever a bridesmaid but never a bride,” when he won his first major triumph in the recent Dixie convinced that, the jinx still is camping on his trail. Once again, despite his 676 set last night, Ollie is sure to run second at best, this time in The Star’s fourth annual Yuletide singles tournament. | It is Maxie Rosenberg who is out in | front in The Star's big tourney at the Lucky Strike, but it was Pacinl who | became the hero last night after the | blggest duckpin orgy of Washington history. Twelve sets better than 60C marked competition to make the eve- ®ing the producer of more 600 sets |than in any previous tourney here. Rosenberg, one of the “money bowlers” of all time, smashed out games of 134, 148, 135, 128 and 132 for a 677 set and a new all-time Star tourdey record, but Pacini, a few minutes later, had victory in his grasp only to see it trickle out when he picked a two-pin break in the ninth box of his last game. Ollle swept one of the two sticks with his second ball. box pinstand up, but watched the ty- |ing maple remain erect in his tenth frame of the same game, wien nine others went crashing before what looked to be a sure strike OTH The Star tournament and the Lucky Strike alleys lived up to their reputations as producers of the unexpected and brilllant. Paul | Harrison, who rode in front for a | week as ‘a result of his 646 set rolled |on the opening night, found Frimse | relegated to fourth piace. Not onl | did Rosenberg and Pacini hang up new | records, but Red Morgan followed with | another brilliant effort which nett:d him 658 and third place. Behind Mor- gan last night were Red Megaw. €37; Perce Ellett, 633; Jack Wolstenholme with 632, Astor Clarke with 631, Bill Howder with 620, W.

Ed Laake with 603 apiece. Few expected Paul Harrison's 646 toi stand up, but Rosenberg's 677 is con- ‘nnd Arthur Logan, Charley Burns and ceded a fine chance to win the tourney. | When Wolstenholme, Clarke, Rosenbers, |Megaw and Morgan, who were slated for a later date, but who were forced to shoot last night because of other | matches, banged away, it left just a | | handful of star bowlers still to shoot. DNA JOHNSON'S 333 last night, which was good for only third place among the girls, was the | | closest approach to Margaret Brunelle's leading score, 355. Bronson Quaites’ 326 was second high | last night. Had Astor Clarke shot his usual share of strikes, he might have been in front today. Clarke did not make a single strike during his five strings and yet rolled 631. The score of perhaps the most re- markable game of the tourney was only 109. It was rolled last night by a youngster named David S. Thomas, who couldn’t discern one pin from another | due to an eye affliction. His father, Deve Thomas, a member of the Interior | Department League, named the sticks | standing and the youth fired away with a straight ball. He made three spares in the first string for a 109 start. His other games were under 100. | \ERCE ELLETT had 423 for the first three games, his second netting 166, but the Odd Fellow star, who | | hasn't kept in practice this season couldn’t hold the pace throughout the final two strings and pulled up with a | total of 633. | This was far beyond his expectations for Perce had a tiny wager on a score of 550. There was a time when Ellett would have shot 700 with the breaks he had last night, although he suffered many trying ones, too. His wood-gathering | was top-hole. His 166 game was | achieved with only six marks and only | one of these a strike. | Perce’s dad was Hard Luck's pet. In | | the matter of hitting key pins he was | | almost as accurate as his popular son, | but flendish breaks kept his total down | to 552. the ®orse to shoe | the | Harry Saunders, champion and a newcomer N | duckpin game, got off to a 138 start | |that so amazed him he lost the range and never recovered it. All of his last four games were below the century. Seven male members of the Donald- son family rolled and all commendably. F. Donaldson was high with 588, but was pushed for high honors by E. G. who shot 5§75, which included the best | game of 149. | — | | Few bowlers get the ball away with the grace and rhythm of Chalmers | Groff, an Odd Fellow.
