World Record Finish Makes Clarke Nation’s Top Duckpinner 6th Year in Row
— ' — <
District Ace Outbowls
Connecticut's While
By 23 Pins for Lead
Nine Here in First 30
Ranked; Caroline Hiser
Women's No. 2 Roller
For the sixth consecutive year.
Aster Clarke of Washington and
Arlington sits the throne of Ameri
ca's durkpin bowlers, an achieve
ment outstanding in the Nation's
realm of sport, but to climb back he
was forced to set a world record in
his final tournament of the 1940-41
season. He topped the great Jack
White of Connecticut bv 23 pins and
White was only a few sticks ahead
of Mac Carboni. a fellow Nutmegger
who landed third in the rankings of
the National Duckpin Bowling Con
gress announced last night by Ex
ecutive Secretary Arville Ebersole.
For 404 games. Clarke, manager
of the Lafayette maple plant and a
member of its team, averaged a
fraction over 129, a point better than
his figure of the season before.
Of the 30 places in the rankings.
Metropolitan Washington bowlers
won nine. Hokie Smith of the Lucky
Strike, who nosed out Clarke for the
roveted District League champion
ships. was rated fifth; Lou Jenkins.

Convention Hall, 14th; Tony San

Wolfe. Hyattsville. 21st. Cletus Pan
nell. Clarendon. 22d; Ed Nash. Ice
Palace. 25th. and Ollie Pacini. North
east Temple manager, 30th.
Caroline Hiser Next to Top,
Caroline Hiser of Hyattsville
moved into second position in the
women's rankings behind Katherine
Vick of Norfolk, who succeeded Ida
Simmons of the same city, who
voluntarily stepped down after six
years as the queen of maple
shooters. Miss Simmons did not
roll enough league games to be
ranked.

White virtually had a lock on the
top spot, Clarke established a na
tional five-game record of 782 and
ran up the sensational total of 1.426
for 10 games in winning the Vir
gima-Carolina Sweepstakes at Rich
mond on April 5. Even with this it
was reckoned White needed only to
Bit tight to triumph. Sportsman that
he is, the Connecticut Blue Ribbon
ace. to accommodate friends in the
bowling business, shot in two late
tournaments in which he lost 182
pins on his average.
A born competitor. Clarke through
out the campaign shot for every
stick and. as Eberso'e pointed out
last night: "If he had been careless
enough in 24 of his 404 games to
lose a stick unnecessarily in each,
White would have topped him."
Year's Big Money Winner.
Clarke also was the big money
winner of the year. He wa.s victori
ous in half a dozpn sweepstakes and
shared first place in another, the
Halloween at the Queen Pin. in
which he became the only bowler to
win a second time. He paired with
Naomi Zimmerman. He won the
Jimmy Wallace and Norman Levy
events at Norfolk, the Jefferson Rec
reation at Portsmouth, the Megaw
and the Carolina-Richmond He fin
ished well into the money of several
other tournaments.
Mrs. Vick's triumph with an aver
age of 118-plus was less than a
point ahead of Miss Hiser, and
Lucy Rose of Rosslyn. ranked third,
and Lorraine Gulli, Lucky Striker
who ruled the roost before Miss
Simmons took over, ranked fourth
this time, crowded Miss Hiser.
Lucile Young of the Chevy Chase

Penn Rpcreation. 24th. and Margaret
Lynn. Rendezvous. 28th, were other

Travis in Batting Crown Fight
After His 4 Clouts That Help
Nats Down Browns Twice
By Bl'RTON HAWKINS.
If the more glowingly publicized
Ted Williams and Joe Di Maggio
have been regarding the Nats' Cecil
Travis as a likely fellow to wilt
and allow them to enjoy a private
feud over the American League
baiting championship they may be
excused for being amazed.
Williams currently owns a com
manding lead with his gaudy .408
average, but most folk feel the
rangy Red Sox outfielder is destined
to skid below .390 before another
month evaporates, and when and if
he does h° doubtless will be bump
ing into Di Maggio and Travis.
Di Maggio. with his .378 mark, and
Travis, with a .377 figure, are con
ducting a torrid battle for runner
up honors at the moment and it is
significant that the Washington
shortstop is climbing In his last 36
games, in fact. Travis has belted at
a 414 clip to tack 26 points on his
nverag“.
Williams, who has been idle on
several occasions with an annoying
ankle, has gone plateward 117 times
less than Di Maggio and 86 times
less than Travis, who missed a few
games early in the season due to
ptomaine poisoning and a spiked
knee.
Travis Damages Browns.
Now active again, Ted naturally
may not be able to maintain his fat
batting figure. Steady play for Wil
liams may be the leveler that soon
will make it a triangular tiff for the
batting crown. Another month
should present a more accurate
gauge, but in the meantime neither
Di Ma ggio nor Travis is losing
ground.
Travis hasn’t slipped below .351
this season. He slid to that level
after a double-header with the
Tigers on June 15. but has rallied to
remain in the scramble for the
championship. Warm weather thus
far hasn’t hampered the loose
jointed Georgian, who obtained four
hits, including a triple and double.
In seven trips to the plate yesterday
as the Nats captured both games of
a double-header from the St. Louis
Browns, 4-3 and 5-3
CPCii nas open ciuutin^ mate®
home at a respectable pace. too. for
j he now has driven across 68 runs,
more than he delivered for the Nats
in 1934. '35. '37. '38 and '39. Only
j twice has he batted in more runs—
^ in 1936. when he compiled 92 runs
batted in. and last year, when he
was responsible for getting 76 Nats
home.
Not since 1938. when zany Zeke
| Bonura batted across 113 runs for a
| fifth-place team, has Washington
■ owned a player who has batted in
more than 100 runs. Barring in
jury, Travis seems certain to eclipse
his previous mark, despite the sad
status of the Nats.
A crowd of 8.000 saw Travis aid
the Nats escape the cellar yester
day. inserting a triple, double and
! single into the second game, scoring
a run and batting in two more.
Dutch Leonard was presented a 5-0
lead by the Nats and registered his
tenth triumph.
The Nats pounced on Denny Gale
house for three runs in the first
inning of the nightcap on singles
by Doc Cramer and Buddy Lewis,
Travis’ triple and Mickey Vernon's
single. Washington increased its
advantage with a brace of runs in
the fifth, the result of Vernon's
1 single with the bases loaded.
St. Louis, which had nicked Leon
1 ard for only three hits in the first
six innings, collected two runs in
the seventh on successive triples by
Roy Cullenbine and Joe Grace and
Johnny Berardino's outfield fly.
Singles by Harlond Clift and George
McQuinn and Chet Laabs' long fly
gave the Browns their 'final run
in the eighth.
Sid Hudson pitched a two-hit
brand of baseball for eight innings
in the opener and for five innings
big Bob Muncrief stuck wdh him.
In the sixth, though. Muncrief was
separated from three runs and
whatever tolerance he possesses.
The Nats received a huge break
when Cullenbine lost George Case's
easy fly in the sun. Tire ball fell
safely for a double and Cramer fol
lowed with a triple. Lewis produced
a single to score Cramer and
scampered to third when Right
Fielder Grace fumbled his drive.
Travis' single sent Lewis across.
Early Belts Home Run.
Jake Early's eighth homer of the
year, a mighty blow over the right
field wall leading off in 'he seventh,
gave the Nats a 4-0 lead and. it de
veloped. their winning margin.
In the ninth the Browns became
troublesome. Walter Judnich opened
with a double and Cullenbine
walked. Grace drilled a single to
left, scoring Judnich. and Hudson
left the premises in favor of Bill
Zuber, whose first act was to pitch
a single to Berardino that scored
Cullenbine and sent Grace to third.
Rick Ferrell accommodated his
former pals at that point by drilling
into a double play. Grace scoring,
and Pinch-Hitt’r Laabs ended the
engagement with a flv to Cramer.
Second Baseman Jimmy Llood
worth was no small item in the
Nats' first victory. He handled 13
chances flawlessly and unraveled
his neatest defensive display as a
Nat. In the sixth inning he scooted
far to his left to stab Judnich's
scorching grounder and throw him
out and in the eighth he went to
short right field for a spectacular
over-the-shoulder leaping catch of
Clift's looper..
Daredevil Pilots Out to Break
T appett's Midget Car Streak
Ted Tappett. victor In last week's
Atlantic States Derby, will have his
junior jalopy in the line-up tomor
row night when another field of
midget auto racers swings into ac
! tion at the West Lanham bowl.
Adequate competition is assured
for Tappett, who hit his hottest pace
of the season last week, in the pres
j ence of Henry Banks and Lyle
: Dickey, a couple of top-flight chauf
fers who are out to interrupt his
winning streak. Tappett scored at
New Haven. Danbury and Cedar
hurst during the week for a new
record of some kind.
Both Banks and Dickey have won a
large following at the nearby aaucer
because of their willingness to risk
their necks and gamble with fate.
Ill fortune overtook them In their
most recent efforts at West Lanham,
leaving them parked behind stalled
motors after pacing their fields over
most of the distance.
Public Parks Tennis

Young Terp, Conqueror
Of Bobby Bensinger,
Ace as Schoolboy
By BILL DISMER, Jr.
A cool-tempered, easy-going youth
with a world of courage was Wash- I
ington's new public parks tennis
champion today, but that title;
isn’t file first important crown ever
' held by likable 19-year-rld Eddie
Miller of the University of Mary- j

For Miller, who upset a lot of cal- j

Bensinger gained some consola

Charley iChuck' Freer for the fifth

Miller and Harry Brinkerhoff. ir.,
for the doubles championship.
Brinkerhoff and Miller never could
recover the form wghich enabled
them to win the first two sets Sat

Although the new champs and
Willie Herbert, the women's hold
over title-holder, are eligible to rep

public parks tournament, it is ex

local bodv hasn't been able to find
the funds to finance the trips of any
champions in the last five years and
i it’s hardly likely that they can dig
it up this year.

naments in the District since 1926.
but yesterday may have been the
last time that Felix Silva ever has
i anything to do with a local net
event..
"I think this will be my last tour
nament." the little Filipino said,
wiping his brow after a week of
activities which had seen him do
everything from record results on
the draw sheet to water and line the
Rock Creek courts. "I think it's time
some one else took over the job; be
sides. it doesn't leave me much time
for golf.”
Silva, one of the city’s most enthu
siastic net fans for the last decade
and a half, only recently has taken
up golf and his absence at 1941 tour
naments prior to last week’s event,
, which he ran for the Parks Associa
i tion, has bee nconspicuous. Al
though a committee has assisted in
the making of the draw, Silva has
run the actual tournament almost
single-handedly for years. He
climaxed his work yesterday by um
piring the singles match in which
Eddie Miller defeated Bobby Ben
singer.
In addition to his work for the
Parks Tournament, Silva is serving
his second year as chairman of the
ranking committee of the District
Tennis Association.

Schwagel, Hoy as' New Manager
Of Athletics, Long an Ardent
Worker for Alma Mater
By LEWIS F. ATCHISON.
Rome F. Schwagel's appointment
as graduate manager of athletics at1
Georgetown should ring the bell
with every true friend and supporter
of the school.
One of the most likable figures
associated with sports at the Hilltop
in the last decade his selection is a .
wise and happy solution to a prob- j
lem that threatened to give the
school's athletic jssociation some
trying hours.
Schwagel is ideally suited by
training and temperament for the
position. As manager of the basket
ball team during his undergraduate
days and as director of sports pub
licity from 1933. following his grad
uation, until 1936 when he received
his master's degree. Rome became
familiar with the problems besetting
Georgetown from the school's view
point.
As an alumni leader in New York
and voluntary scout for athletic ma
terial he came to see the alumni's
slant on matters. A native of Day
ton. Ohio, his selection should pla
cate Midwestern alumni who have
been clamoring for a louder voice
in Georgetown sports, while he cer
tainly takes office with the eastern
group solidly behind him.
Schwagel Popular Here.
Schwagel's infectious smile, his
warm personality and boundless
energy will serve him well in this
new capacity. Most of the District's
football writers are old friends and
cronies from the days before Jack
Hagertv hit the jackpot with his
potent grid machines. They knew
the mental agonv Schwagel suffered
in the lean years immediately pre
n nnttnnt r\n-n 'e rvt rt t none ril'fl
and sympathized with him. He is
open, frank and eo-operative: traits
that will stand him in good stead.
A good friend of Gabe Murphy,
under whom he toiled as press rep
resentative several years ago,
Schwaael was one of his predeces
sor's stanchest and most loyal
supporters. That is one of the char
acteristics that marked him so
plainly as the outstanding choice
for the position. Had another man
been appointed to office Rome would
have pitched in and worked as hard
for Georgetown as he will during his
own regime.
That Srhwagel will have no
trouble keeping the Hi'ltop sports
staff closelv ro-ordina'ed and func
tioning smoothlv is patent. He is an
ardent admirer of Jack Hagertv and
the good fnend of his assistants.
Rimer Ripley can expect increased
support in basket ball while ' Hap"
Harden s track and Joe Judges dia
mond ou’looks are considerably
brightened.
Has New Schedule Plans.
Believed to be the youngest man
In the country intrusted with the
responsibilities of such an important
office. Schwagpl has some definite
ideas concerning schedule-making
policies and plans in general. In
addition to maintaining relations
with Gporgp Washington. Maryland
and other long-standing rivals, he
hopes to add suitable opponents in
the Midwest and South. He said
today he wants Georgetown teams
to play before Georgetown alumni,
wherever they may be, to tighten
the bonds between the school and
its graduates.
A dyed-in-wool sports enthusiast.
Rchwagel has many friends through
out the East and Midw'est actively
engaged in athletic work and these
contacts will be invaluable. Unas
suming. easy-going, but a capable
executive and organizer. Rome
should, and undoubtedly will be. an
asset to his alma mater at the coun
cils of sports authorities.
Schwagel resigned a lucrative posi
tion with General Motors' overseas
sales department to accept the
Georgetown post. While terms of
his contract were not disclosed per
sons acquainted with him say he
would make a financial sacrifice
gladly to be of service to the school.
It is thought that his initial term of
office will be for three years, as he is
beginning to map pians on that
basis.
Rome will place school above sell
in the years immediately ahead
Georgetown always has been first
and foremost in his affections and
undoubtedly always will be. He'll dc
a good job—the best possible—anc
this writer does not think George
town w!ill have cause to regret its
choice. It is a wdse one.
