Henry y atbans.

Oneof the hardest workers in the Saenger-
bund Bowling Club is Henry Nathans, the
Official umpire for ali W. s L league
games, quick and prompt and firm in his
decisions, well posted in the game, and al
together very valuable man. He is a
good bowler, using right-curve slow ball
on short run.
From the following report OF the stand ding
of the teams and of individual players in
the league series Just closed it will be seen
that the Saengerbund team leads in every
thing except total Of strikes, and in this
the Carroll Institute leads the list with
$50 strikes, the SaengerbUnds being second
with 494.
In the following table OF diyidual aver
ages in which Bruegger. OF W. s B, tops
the list, Stanton and DesiO are given as
second and third men, respectively, by
virtue of their averages, which, however,
Were made in four and five games, respec-

number of games played, Considered as
ranking above those who come after them
The CAROLS, the twice champions, made
a gallant fight for the return of the honor
this season, but they were outplayed by
stronger bowlers, and at the same time
were handicapped by necessary changes
in the makeup of the team. Tony Rice,
the captain of the team, ranks the third
highest in individual averages, having

The large attendance upon the closing
month Of the series indicated the great
interest in the game, and it is safe TO
say that next season the big league win
have in it at least five teams, and with
that number, OF six. which is not too
many, it is easy to see that there viii
be no lack OF contests in the manly sport
As the averages OF the reserve team
league compare very favoTably with the
above results, and as there are only about
two sets TO play in that league before
closing the season. 1 would suggest that
the winners Of the championship in each
league meet and arrange series Of. say
five games, the winner Of three out OF the
set to be awarded the championship OF
the District in ten-pin bowling, ire
spectfve of league or class. Such series
would draw out the greatest kind Of IN
terest and enthusiasm.
When the reserve league closes It's
season the several teams win arrange
friendly sets with other teams and gen
erally keep in shape for future contests.
The season has been an in Interesting one,
andfrom an athletic points profitable one,
for t has increased interest all along the
line. and while there have been some dis
amendments there have been many sur
