PLATE PRINTERS
BOWLING LEAGUE
Complete List of Members of
All Teams.
Competing Gives" Are Named After
the Cities From which the
Players Hail.

The Bowling League recently organized
by employees Of the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing and known as the Plate
Printers League" is now well under way
and is playing a regular schedule of two
sets of games each week
All the games are bowled on the alleys
of the Golden Eagle Club. 400 New Jersey
Avenue, and the contests usually attract
a large attendance of followers of the
sport and 'rooters'' of the respective
teams.
Nearly all the players are novices. and
as a result the bowling scores are not of
very heavy weight. The players however,
are in earnest in the fight for champion
ship, and practice regularly and hope
shortly to show better results
In the opening set between the Wash
ingtons and the Bostons, the former
scored a triple victory over the beaneat-
ers. Next week the st. Louis and Boston,
and the New York and Chicago teams will
play their first sets together.
