Cc—+4 SPORTS T Duckpin Queen Balks at MISS GULLI SEES EVASION OF ISSUE | Feels Direct Competition| Would Have Bearing on National Ranking. BY ROD THOMAS. HAT started out to be a bowling exhibition to give Bill Coyle a workout on the radio today had be- come a national fuss involving the two greatest girl bowlers that ever | fired a duckpin ball. On the aggressive side was Lorraine Gulli, top-ranking performer of the country for years and president of the ‘Washington Women's Duckpin Asso- ciation, and opposed was Ida Simmons of Norfolk, whom the experts say is a sure thing to relieve Lorraine of her diadem. It was arranged a month ago to pit the Misses Gulli and Simmons in a contest at the Lucky Strike, with Coyle of Station WMAL performing a Graham McNamee and giving the sport in general a boost. But, sensing a bit of business for himself, Earle Stocking of Norfolk, bowling alley manager and sponsor for Miss Simmons, recently made a coun- ter proposal, and now there may be no match. Miss Gulli today balked at his plan to include in the contest | the best girl bowler of Baltimore and | the best of Richmond, with skirmishes | totaling 40 games to be rolled in four | cities. Issue Seems Evaded. UITE logically, it seems, Miss Gulli reasoned this to be an evasion of the issue between her and Miss Simmons in the scrap for thel No. 1 national ranking.

And Lorraine, contrary to gen- eral belief, feels she still has a chance to keep the top spot. Although ac- cepting the engagement with Miss Simmons at first in the light of an exhibition, now she would make it a contest in every sense. ‘I am willing,” she said today. “to bowl Miss Simmons anywhere. any- time. any number of games, but this four-cornered scheme, so far as I am concerned, is out.” And truth to tell, it would be diffi- cult to find a first class reason why a girl from Richmond and one from Baltimore should be included. Neither of those cities can put forth a fair bowler to compare in ability with Miss Gulli or Miss Simmons. If Miss Simmons is willing, the thing to do now, it would appear, is to arrange a home-and-home battle, with 10 games here and 10 at Norfolk. Ida in Front Now. 1SS SIMMONS has a command- | ing lead over Miss Gulli in the competition for national rank- ing, due to higher averages in league and tournament play, but the Wash- ington maid insists that averages should not be held all-important by the National Duckpin Bowling Cm.f gress, which makes the ratings. She would give much weight to perform- | ances in the national tournament, | now in progress at the Arcadia, in | which she and Miss Simmons have | yet to roll. | Incidentally, H has put a team on top in the national | event. The Occidentals, with 1930, took the lead in the men's class last | president of the Cleveland club, hap- | . night and only a few quints remain to | shoot with the potential strength to | beat that mark. Astor Clarke was | high with 412, followed by Joe Har- | riscn with 406. Three of the city’s pioneer fair duckpinners will shoot tonight with the Occidental Girls. They are Bron- | son Quaites, Merceda Isemann. Opening the evening’s program by | trying to ride Johnson out of Cleve- shooting the first ball will be Bernard | J.
