SPORTS/ Cc-3 Low Entry Fee Gives Average Bowler a Chance in Old Dominion Sweepstakes @ BIG FELD 15 SEEN | FOR DAVES EVENT Will Cost Only $2.50 and Leading, Stars Will Be Barred Saturday. BY ROD THOMAS. N THE theory that many a bowler would relish a chance | to try his mettle in a big| money tournament but is | scared off by heavy entry fees, Galt Davis of Rosslyn, sponsor of the Old | Dominion Handicap Sweepstakes to be held Saturday night at Rosslyn, an- | nounces probably the smallest fee yet ‘ levied for an event of its importance— | $2.50, which also covers the cost of | games. ‘To make the event even more at- tractive to the average bowler, it will be limited to those with averages of not more than 120. The handicaps will be based on this figure, with an | entrant to receive half the difference | between his league average and scratch, with a limit of 60 pins. Sixty per cent of the prize fund will go to the winner and it should be a sizable piece of coin. Twenty-five per cent will go to the runner-up and | 15 to third place winner. Galt Waxes Critical. T FIELD of at least 50 is assured, A according to Davis with possi- bilities that it may be around 65 or 70. ' Davis makes some spirited comment en sweepstakes bowling. “Nine out of ten average bowlers will not put their money in a tour- nament with a big star entered, be- cause he really begrudges the top- notch bowler the money he wins.” says Galt, and he will find many to agree with him as he continues: “When the time comes that all bowl- | ers must put up their own money to shoot on and not have sugar uncle backer, the game will overcome one of its main drawbacks. “This may sound out of line, but T really believe that these tourna- ments with the $18 and $28 fees and higher are retarding bowlers who have excellent chances of becoming first- class performers. They can't get the seasoning that comes of big tourna- ment play because they can't afford to risk a sum like that, and of course one couldn't get a backer unless his average was plenty high.” May Win Own Tourney. AVIS served notice last night that he will be a serious contender for honors in his own tourna- ment when he shot a 678 paired in mixed doubles with Lucy Rose, against Lee and Ruth Rothgeb. The Virginia pair totaled 1216, against the Silver Spring duo’s 1200. The champion Lucky Strike girls are out front again in the Ladies’ District League by virtue of a 2-1 victory over Rosslyn.

Jerry Cowden, who hasn’t been out of the first five since the Washington Singles League opened, will meet the | leader, Tony Santini, tonight at Convention Hall. Red Megaw, racing up the ladder, steps upon a dangerous rung when he opposes Ollie Pacini at George- town Recreation. Bill Krauss, second, will meet Al Woods at the King Pin. Here's the schedule for tonight: At King Pin—Woods vs. Krauss; | Miller vs. Pricci. At Lucky Strike—Campbell vs. OA' Hiser; Wolfe vs. Parsons.

Isemann, 2 late entrant, is on top in the Henry Hiser Sweepstakes which opened last Saturday at Bethesda and will be fin- ished next Saturday night at Hyattsville. George shot 653 to take a commanding lead over John Swope, now second with 619. Hiser himself got into the running with 583 and Perce Wolfe landed among the lead- © ers with 593.

With Hermie Schmarr heading the attack, the Cardinals easily increased their | lead and finished pulling away. their college court careers, but they were forced to relinquish honors for the night to Schmarr, Brown and Bernie Lieb.
