rank one. two. The Bureaus have won
A. games and lost T. and the Interiors
nave a record of 10 victories and IA de-
leafs The Commissioners are not far
behind the Interiors. having won st
games and lost only Is.
Bureaus Meet Interiors.
Tonight the championship may be de-
cided as the Bureaus and Interiors meet.
If the Interiors win the full set. they
win forge ahead of their rivals by two
games. and from then on il will be hard
TO overtake them. On the other hand.
II the Bureaus win two games of the
series. IL is almost certain they will
capture the bunting won by the Interiors
last season.
Following the Commissioners the
other teams rank in this way Post

ment Printing Office, Agriculture, War
department, and Commerce and Labor

Saengers Still Lead.
The Washington saengerbund bowlers
still lead the Jolly Fat Men in the Districi
League, contrary to public belief The
Germans are three games ahead of the
Fat Men. 1t was thought by many thai
when the Acnles won two games OF the
set from the Saengers on Friday night
II put the latter even with the coTpulent
bowlers, but this is a mistake How
ever, the Fat Men have three more
games 70 play than the Germans, and
should they win this extra set. have as
good chance to land the bunting as
their opponents The Germans have
won twenty-four games and lost twelve
and the Jolly Fat Men have won TWEEN
ty-one and lost twelve.
The Acmes are probably in as good
form as either the Saengerbunds or Fat
Men at present, and their good work OF
the past week has placed them ahead
OF the Golden Eagles by a margin OF
i've games. They have now won as
many games as they have lost. The
work OF the AGNES Is very creditable
considering this is their first season In
the District League.
In point OF games. the struggle be-
tween the Golden Eagles. Business
ing last. is as interesting as that for
supremacy. The record OF the last
three teams is as follows: Golden
Eagles, won Il and lost 10; Business
Men. won Is and lost 20. and Rathskel-
lers. won u and lost q. In team aver
ages. high game. total pins. and high
score for set, the Saengerbunds lead
the other teams.

among the individual bowlers was not
long-lived. as George Campbell. who was
