HE first national tournament, | held in Baltimore, drew the record entry of 229 teams. but this was in the boom times of 1928, and the entry fee was $15, as against $2250 for the 1935 event. The con- gress this time, however. made a big gain in territory. No less than 10 cities are sending bowlers to the tour- nament for the first time. Washing- ton will be represented by 62 teams and strong delegations in singles and doubles. The United States mixed doubles, a side feature of tournament, will be held at Convention Hall, it is announced by Isemann. The hall was seected by a vote of entrants. M. Jenson and Wally Pipp of Hart- ford won last ye ith a score of 780. Entries will be accepted through- out the ation of the big party at the Arcadia, which will be concluded April 6 Three Saturdays will be the big days. { Girls Will Meet Sunday.

The| girls rolled last year at the Lucky Strike. No matter where the event is held this time it is likely to draw a record entry. A number of new leagues have been formed this season | and many of their members are eager | for a try at tournament competition Inasmuch as the girls are classified carefully according to average, all will have a fair chance to land in the pay-off. Mary Pitts and Margaret Mouse of the Ladies’ Federal League today doubtless are wishing they could have saved their scores of last night for the city tournament.

WILLIAM AND MARY IS POWER IN TRACK Little, Great in Four Events, Is Ace of Team—Eight Meets Are Scheduled. By the Associated Press. V‘ —Led by one of the South’s finest performers in moncure “Monk” Little, William and Mary will put a track team into competition this Spring that promises to make Dixie's finest stand up and take notice. Little can crack 10 seconds in the century consistently, has a fine mark | of 21.3 seconds in the furlong, is flirt- ing with the 200-foot mark in the javelin and nobody in this section can touch his 25-foot achievement in the | broadjump. Aiding this star are such talented competitors as Platt Bullard, an ex- traordinary half miler and fine miler; Louis Plummer, a consistent point getter in the 2 mile; Woodrow Bralley, about on a par with Little in the javelin event; Flickinger, an excep- tional pole vaulter, and Degutis and Murray, who carry the freight in the weight events. In many events there is a wide gap betweén the ability of the topnotcher and his closest competitor. This, coupled with weakness in the 440 and high jump, keeps “Scrap” Chandler’s cup of happiness from running over. The schedule: April 6, North Carolina at Chapel Hill; 13, Duke at Durham; 20, Navy at Annapolis; 27, Penn relays at Philadelphia. May 4, V. M. I; 11, Maryland: 17, Richmond; 26, 1. C. A. A.
