I'D Regiment, established new
worlds indoor record for the one-mile
event, the distance being covered in 1876,

DEFEATED AND BANQUETED
BALTIMORE DUCKPIN TEAM
LOSES THREE GAMES.
vanquished by Members of The
Evening Star League, Whose
Guests They Later Become.

Last night was an epoch in the history
of the local devotees of the little pins,
the occasion being the third and final
clash between the team representing the
Baltimore Typo League and one from the
Evening Star Duck Pin League. The Star
team not only won a clean-cut victory
over it's opponents from the neighboring
city, but after the contests entertained
the visitors, a banquet at the Crown be-
ing one Of the features OF a highly en-
joyable evening.
The games were rolled q the Palace
alleys and never before in this city has
such large crowd witnessed match
game of duck pins nor has there been
displayed such enthusiasm as. was mani
tested on the occasion of the battles last
night
From the foul line to the pins
dense mass of humanity shouted en-
enlargement to the team it supported
while the front. of the alleys was
packed to the doors. The delighted
yells that greeted a good shot on the
part of bowler. or one that made a
mark" were drowned only by the de-
risive-although good natured-shouts
that were occasioned when one of the
opposing team blew a spare. The
cheering at times was deafening, and
never was there a cessation of interest
in the contest.
The Contests.
Baltimore started with a rush In the
first box, which seemed to indicate that
a runaway match was to be on the bill.
The first three men got marks-one a
strickland after the next had pulled ten.
Menke. the star bowler of the team, got
a mark. making almost a clean frame.
But this didn't phase the local bowlers.
and before the game had gone very far
they were up on even terms with their
opponents, and finally won out by seven
teen pins. The next game was equally
exciting. and 1t required a 127 score on
the part of Rodrick to land the locals the
victors by ten pins.
The last of the set was by far the most
interesting, and only q good game on the
part of Westinghouse SOB score-clinched
the contest for The Star Leaguers. To
Rodrick goes the palm for the best in
dividual average of the evening, he hav-
ing Ill for the three games Ben Palmer
Of Baltimore made the next best average,
and ne rolled for 1912. Menke of the
Oyster City Quint was not in the form
that has won for him the title of the best
duckpin bowler of Baltimore, and al
though his scores were all good they
were not what can be usually expected
from him. All Of the games were good
and there was no discredit in losing. The
scores follow:

BETHANY Determined
TO WIN PENNANT

Judging from the excellent material the
Bethany base ball club has on hand, 1T
looks to be a worthy contender for the
pennant in the approaching Sunday
School League series for this season.
This team finished a good second In the
league last summer. and maintains that
the loss of last years pennant was caused
by the poor start the team got In the early
part of the season. Bethany lost the ma
jority of the first games the team played
last season owing mainly to the fact that
the club which represented the church
at that time was completely Outclassed
by the other teams of the league. Toward
the middle Of the season Manager Stokes
considerably strengthened the nine by the
addition Of several high school stars and
also few local base ball veterans of
reputation. With these players the team
was greatly improved and made strong
bid for first honors, finishing as was
stated. above a good second.
This season. however. it is the inten-
ton of Manager Stokes and the other
hackers of the team to place a repre-
sentative club of ability on the field at
the start. The team will be largely COM
posed of the players who performed SO
creditably in the Sunday School League
contests last summer, with the exception
