Williams Of the Aggies came pretty near
to winning the third game against the
Navy, but Miller was there with 2O2
game. Bill got a 223 game for his eff
forts.
Now that Wade has mastered the SER
pentine curve with the duckpin ball. it Is
rumored that he will enter the next single
pin tournament pulled off. How about it,
Gus?
The Commissioners put up cracking
fine set against the low standing War
riors. averaging 065. Too bad they can't
get those kind of games when they go
against the leaders.
After dropping the first game to the
Florists. the Fat Men captured the second
and third games in easy fashion. Guess
the Florists gave the Fats surprise in
that first game.
Some high-class work is being done in
progress at the Palace alleys. No use In

If you wish to have a standing.

next single-pin tournament.
The Agricultures were not quite equal to
taking a fall out of the Navy Yard team.
They lost the second game by five pins,
and the third by ten pins. Close work and
very interesting set.
Greek met Greek last Tuesday when the
Royals and the Capitol Hills clashed on
the latters alleys. The former took two
out of the three games. and are now on
even terms for first position.
A new record was made last Friday
night during the Navy Yard-Post Office
set in the Departmental League. Auguste
of the Navy team started his first game
with strike. and for frame after frame
he continued his good work. After get
ting about five straight strikes the large
gathering OF rooters began to take notice,
and as he continued on through the sixth,
seventh, eighth and ninth frames without
falter. the crowd was roofing to
man. but when he again repeated in the
tenth. making ten consecutive strikes.
enthusiasm ran wild. His eleventh ball
was a fairly good hit, but resulted in a
bad split-a $40 combination. Auglste
came doWn to his eighth frame with
score of 24O. his split brought him 267
in the ninth. and he finished with score
of 2S6, new record for high game for
the season IN local bowling circles. and
the second highest for any game bowled
In league matches. The record for the
highest game is held by Wee Willie"
Miller, VINO. Wnlle member OF the
Saengerbund team In the District League,
bowled a game OF 2SS, in the same game
In which the Saengers made that record
team total Of 1.122, a record which is
still believed to be the best in local games
Of any league. While these Individual
record games are the highest in league
work, they are not the highest seen on
local alleys. for in looking over past
games it Is found that De Yo holds the
District record, with game of 900. while
Rodrick. Hough and Orth Collins each
bowled $50 and Graham has 2S8 game
to his credit. While these latter scores
were not made in recognized league
games, they were made In open compe-
tition and are posted as records for the
District. The new record set up by Au-
guste is the best of the season and will
probably not be reached by any bowler for
some time to come. The boy was heartily
applauded and congratulated by the root
ers. and his opponents joined in the re-
grets Of those present that he was not
able to continue his game to perfect
score, the goal for which SO many bowl
ers have striven. His split was hardly a
deserved one. for many a strike has been
made on much poorer hit
