City Pin Tourney Gets Under Way 2000 WILL BOWL INANNUAL EVNT Columbia Heights, Takoma Pin Shooters Top Card at Lucky Strike. ITH nearly 2,000 bowlers shooting for prizes totaling approximately $3.200, the twenty - seventh annual ‘Washington City Duckpin Association championship will open tonight at the Lucky Strike, with a squad of singles to start the three-week pin party, at 7 o'clock. Bowlers from the strong Columbia Heights League and from the Takoma Bowling Association will dominate the drives. Standing out sharply on the in- augural program is the doubles team of Astor Clarke and Bill Krauss, who hold the national championship and individually a long list of other honors. They will shoot at 10 o'clock. In the same squad of doubles will be Red Megaw and Eddie Espey, mem- bers of the Hertz Driv-Urself team of the Columbia Heights League, and one or the other is a good bet to hang up an all-events standard for class A bowlers to shoot at. Vincent Barbers Roll. "THE Vincent Barbers, champions of the Columbia Heights League, with a star line-up, will feature the team squad, which will perform at 8. A flock of stars will roll tomorrow night, when the Recreation League takes its turn. Many of the city’s leading shooters are in this loop, which has entered seven teams. Conspicuous among the Wednesday night rollers will be Fred Murphy, who, on the opening evening of the 1936 tournament, grabbed the lead in Class B singles and all-events. Mur- phy this time shoots in Class A, hav- ing tilted his average to 118 The ident of the Washington City Duckpin Association, Perce Ellett, will take his turn with the Recreation Leaguers. Ellett, once one of the city’s foremost bowlers, still is no slouch, what with an average around 120. Faded Stars Shoot. SOME bright names of the past are noted among the Class B bowlers scheduled Thursday. Joe Mulroe and Jack Wolstenholme, who used to take handicaps from nobody, now are Class B performers. Time was, too, when Carroll Daly and Mag Wood would scorn anything but Class A, but they are down for Class B doubles Friday. Daly will roll singles in A, but Wood will solo in C. One of the largest league groups of the tournament, representing Co- lumbia Lodge 174, I. A. M., will roil Friday. This league is composed of 40 teams, and a majority of them are entered in the tournament. Percy Patrick, who won the first Bill Wood Dubs Sweepstakes in 1929, will roll singles Friday in Class B, having improved his game greatly since the triumph of dub days. Among Saturday’s rollers will be Ace Elkins, winner of this season's Evening Star tournament. He is in Class D.

PATTERN Tight System Will Be Used in Running Southern Event. D. C. Bowlers Entered. BALTIMORE, Md, April 20.—The Southern championship duckpin tournament, to be held in Philadelphia on April 30, May 1 and 2, will be a duckpin edition of the American Bowl- ing Congress, so far as the system of conducting the event is concerned, officials said today. Arrangements have been completed at the Bergman-Trucks plant, where | the meeting will be rolled under the | auspices of the Baltimore Alley Own- | ers’ Association and the sanction of | the National Duckpin Congress, to in- stall the A. B. C. system throughout. | Under this plan, hailed far and wide | for its success, the rollers will report | 30 minutes before their scheduled time to bowl. Team personnel and aver- ages will be checked, bowling balls weighed and measured and the rollers numbered. The pin poppers then will retire to & paddock to await their turn on the alleys. Each shift of bowlers will | march onto the alleys in single file, | roll two practice balls, then begin tour- | ney play. No practice games will be | permitted on the tournament alleys, 16 in number. Word has been received that Con- | necticut will be represented, as well as Philadelphia, Lancaster, Chester, Nor- ristown, Trenton, Camden, Washing- ton, Rosslyn, Norfolk, Richmond and other points. | Keene is receiving entries at 315 West Lexington street, Baltimore. | Fights Last I;ight By the Associated Press.

ITH the male bowlers of the Capital and suburbs launching their biggest city tournament since the boom years of the late 20's tonight at Lucky Strike, the dream of 100 teams in a Washington Women’s Duckpin Association tournament may become a reality. ‘This was the prospect today as the two sparkplugs of the fair organization, Mrs. Pauline Ford and Mrs. Margaret Lynn, serving their first terms as president and secretary, respectively, accelerated their efforts with the cen- tury figure only 14 teams away. Already team entries are nearly 50 per cent more than the all-time mark of 58 which rolled at Convention Hall last year and at the time was a fine achievement for the association offi- cials. “It looked like a tough job we were tackling at first but the ready re- sponse and the fine support most leagues are giving us has made it a pleasure,” said Mrs. Lynn as she re- numerated the various leagues and the teams entered. Teams Now on List. TH‘E list includes: Ladies District League, 10 teams; Washington Ladies League, 8 teams; Ladies Inde- pendent League, 10 teams; Ladies Pro- curement League, 4; Prince Georges County, 5; Montgomery County, 4; Silver Spring, 10; Federal, 12; What's In a Name, 8; Lucky Strike Ladies, Agriculture, 3; Catholic Ladies, Farm Credit, 2; United States Mari- | time, 2, and Sodality, 2. But the two enterprising bowling leaders for several months have been | on the job, selling 392 memberships to girl bowlers many of whom will be| rolling in the annual Spring affair for the first time. Last year the mem- berships were under 250. Without a let-up Mrs. Ford and Mrs. Lynn until the dealine for entries, Pri- day midnight, will bend every effort to swing every team possible into the tournament. The sixteenth annual event opens Wednesday, April 28, at Lucky Strike. . Mat Matches By the Associated Press. CAMDEN, N.

CHARLOTTE SEEKING HELP FROM GRIFFITH Sees Strong Club if Nats’ Owner Gets It Estalella of 'Nooga, Davis of Sanford. By the Assoclated Press. 'HARLOTTE, N. C, Every discussion of the prospects of the Washington-financed Charlotte Hornets in the coming Piedmont League pennant derby quickly nar- rows down to two points. Those deal with the possibility of Manager Lee Head's falling heir to Roberto Estalella, swarthy swat sultan of Cuba, who may be exiled by Chat- first baseman, from Sanford of the Florida League. Estalella probably will be parceled to the Hornets when the Chattanooga squad is trimmed. Dire need of a punchy first sacker figured as the only other problem in the Hornets’ crusade for the Piedmont flag. In the Charlotte front office Presi- dent Joe Engel and General Manager and left to persuade Owner Clark Griffith to order Edward Davis from Sanford to Charlotte. Davis slapped the ball at a .322 pace last season with the Sanford Class B leaguers. Up-and-coming youngsters fill out the other slots on the new Hornet combine, except for a southpaw slinger, Lefty Gillispie, and Playing Manager Head, slugging receiver.

CUB STARTER MAKES CHAMP DOFF GLOVES Braddock to Consider Training | Site Choice After He Sees Base Ball Battle. By the Associatea Press. HICAGO, April 20.-—Heavyweight James J. Braddock tossed his gloves aside and became just another base ball fan today. The title holder interrupted train- ing for his bout June 22 at Comiskey Park with Joe Louis to join the throng of 40,000 or more expected to watch the Chicago Cubs open the National League season with the Pittsburgh Pirates at Wrigley Field.

The Broadway crowd hears the Yankees paid Tommy Henrich 25,000 iron men for his signature. Here's an expert who really is one. Billy Sixty writes golf and bowling for the Milwaukee Journal. More than that, he can show you tricks at both sports. He has been Tunner-up for the Wisconsin ama- i teur golf tftle four times and he has a combined average in four Milwaukee bowling leagues of 207. And yesterday he rolled five games of 200 or better in the A. B. C. for totals of 597 in the singles and 624 in the doubles and a 206 7-9 average in all events.
