STAND FOR
WILL
YEARS

Notwithstanding it's record breaking per-
formances the champion Saengerbund
bowling quint has made but little progress
in its effort to cut down the lead of the
Jolly Fat Men in the championship race in
the District Bowling League. The latter
had only one match in the past two weeks,
but they made good in that by taking the
full set of games from the Florists. The
Bund also took the same team into camp
for all three games, but dropped one to the
AGNES, which increased its percentage
from $50 to .667, but clipped off only 10
points from the Fat Mems lead of 1855
points.
By losing two to the Saengers and one
to the Market House the AGNES become
still darker horses in the race-in fact,
their position in third place is threatened
by the Market House, which reduced the
formers lead of SO to Is points by taking
one from the AGNES and two from the
Bank Clerks. The money counters made
good showing. landing four of their six
games, but the Florists were all to the
bad, getting whitewashed in all of their
nine games, which practically cinches the
leadership for them.
BY far the most interesting feature of
the season thus far was the tremendous
total piled up by the champions in their
match Wednesday night with the AGNES
IL was thought when this team recently
ran up set of 3,016, averaging well over
thousand pins a game that the record
would not be approached during the sea
SON. In this match, however. the German
cracks not only broke their figures for high
s > 10 oy setting up new District record of
5,o94, but by all pulling together for dou-
Die centuries in their last game they piled
up a team-total record which will doubt
Tess stand for years to come-1, 122. In this
game WHY Miller got extremely busy with
the pms, running a series of ten consccu-
tive strikes for a total of 2SS the highest
single game ever made in the District in
league competition.
Medal of Honor Men.
Medal of honor positions continue to be
'hogged' by the Bund players, only one of
the regular team being absent from the
leading five bowlers. Allison continues his
terrific clip, having increased his average
of 1875 over a point, but Miller's excellent
set of 654 has narrowed down the leaders
margin from six to three points. Krauss
of the AGNES pulled up two points, and
Burdines good work has decreased the lead
of his team-mate, Eckstein, from four
points to less than one. Charlie Miller of
the Market House has displaced Harlow as
runner up to the lucky first five, and Hot-
mann has pushed his way up into fast com
pany.
Krauss' set of 6G8 is the nearest approa oh
to Allison's 712. Allison also has the high
est average of strikes with four and a frac-
ton, and is second in clean games with
seven Eckstetn having eight. Bailey of the
Market House team leads in highest aver
age of spares, being small fraction under
five per game.
Changes have taken place on only three
teams, Hoffman taking second place from
Bailey of the Market House; Waters third
from Brosnan of the Fat Men, and Crosby
goes into second place on the Florists.
Hardie and Cox, both of the Acmes, tied
for tenth place. are followed closely by
Waters and Crist, who are only one pin
apart.
