STRIKES AND SPARES.

The HOLSTERS dropped two games to the
CLAIMS. Sounds very much like a shell
game.
Helmerichs had a nice set last week
2G9 2O2 and 1885, lied" is coming strong
these days.
The Bureaus have had rough shedding
recently, having lost four out OF their
last six games.
Herbert OF the G. P. o. League bowled
games Of 30 1S2 and oil last week. This
boy looks like conner.
The Crabs took two out OF three games
from the Shrimps. Even crabs have
been known to travel fast at times.
Treasury struck a snag when they went
against the Interiors but managed to get
one game Small favors are acceptable.
Lednum of the Pressmen had a set OF
206 ISL and 200 against Foundry. Those
games would look good in the Depart
mental League.
The Capitol quint had an easy time
winning all three games from the War
riors. Most any team would If the other
fellows failed to show UP.
After the Bureau Commissioners set
some wag changed Lands scores to read
275, 276 and 296. Oh! Sandy" il those
scores were only genuine.
BontZ had an average OF over go and
Miller one of over 24o for ten games in
the down-and-out tournament at the Pal
ace alleys. Rumor has it that both
bowlers will take a vacation after the af-
fair is over.
Schraeder was seen carrying red
Christmas
morning. When asked why he didn't wear
it. said he wasn't a bell COW. On, you
kid.
Fisher OF the Union League bowled 40,
100 and 100 in the Blanks-Antiques set
Speaking of consistency. wouldn't those
scores make you take off your hat?.
The Commissioners took two games
from the Bureau team. Both teams had
930 and $50. and the Commissioners 800,
Sos and S9S.
Somebody asked Collins New Year day
what teams he had bowled on. They got
their answer Saturday. Wonder if that
big bright red bell had anything to do
with the delay?
The District and Departmental Leagues
resume their schedules tomorrow night
the Potomacs and Saengerbunds in the
former, and the Bureau and Capitols in
the latter. that is. If there are no more
postponements to be pulled off.
No bowler with an average Of less than
DO for ten games had any chance of
qualifying for the first sixteen positions
in the tournament at the Palace alleys
That class of work speaks we'll for the
bowlers Of Washington.
Kicker got into the high sixteen in the
tournament at the Pa ace without much
effort. The doctor spent all New Year day
trying to give his position in the standing
away, but up to the time the polls closed
he had met with no success Some people
are always looked upon with suspicion
Williams, who held the lead so long in
the Royal tournament, has been paSsed
by both Eiker and Weckerly. Guess that
dope was about right as to dark horses
trailing along in the ruck. Both boWlers
are well over the 125 average for ten
games. An average of 125 at ducks and
one of 80 at tenpins is mark we'll worth
the mention.

known bowlers:
