STRIKES AND SPARES.

Doyle of the Agsies had a nice set of
games last week. Nice work, Connie"
boy.
Fritz of Oriental had a set of 161. 1859
and 133 against the Fat Men. Not so
much for such classy bowler
Allison bowled 30 and 1S3 and then
came back with 2O2 game Buck is
subject TO such spells every now and
then.
Nachman could only total 129 for his
first game. 'Smatter Happy" the foul
line worry you-just little bit?
Myers had three good scores in the
Fat Men-Oriental set-197 2o2 and POS.
Whence comest thy good luck. Cupid?
Vanderbilt of the West Washington
team bowled games OF 1:s3 212 and 234
against the Metropoiitans. Sick again,
| by heck
| Jacobsen did good work in the Potomac
Florists set, getting games of I'll. 100
and III. Glad TO see the boy back again.
Field of the Fats surely spread him
| self in his set with Oriental-averaging
2Ni. Getting ready for Pittsburg. Jim :?
The Garrisons didn't do a thing to that
Royal bunch oh. noi The latter looked
as if they were left hat-footed at the
post
! Can Il bowler belong to four different
leagues and do himself justice in any
| of them? Hardly. Just look at Roberts
| of the Post Office
O'Donnell started with 100 and fol-
lowed it up with games for 1860 and 1871
NO one can accuse Danny of not show
| ing improvement.
Bailey and his too average had much
! to do with the Garrison team winning
those three games from the Royals. Oh
you Bill Bailey.
Cooper got DDS in his first game. and
then knocked off for the evening. Those
1 n M 1i Il hnl,,
age any Jimmie
Agriculture put up two good games
against the Capitols-31? and 9I2. but
fell down badly in their third. Well, two
out of three games isn't bad
The lineup of the Union team in that
set with Calvary had familiar look
Wonder why Brosnan didn't bowl and
then call the team the Fat Mems Union?
The q. p. o. trimmed the Aggies good
and proper for two out of three games.
Williams and Field were the only Farm
ers able to sit up and take notice.
The Navy Yard manages to lose one
game in each set they roll these days.
They are so far in the lead that the loss
of a few games doesn't hurt them any.
BontZ of the Pots bowled 1872 in each
of his first and third games, but slipped
| up in his second and rolled 226. Alright,
Bonnie your apology is accepted.
| Rodrick of the Washington Stars aver
aged 1l:' in the match with the Bati-
more printers. Baltimore alleys look
| just the same TO this bowler as his home
| alleys do.
! Kings Palace dropped three games to
| the Moses quint last week and it looks as
| if the latter team had that cup all but
| engraved. Let US all go up to BradIey's
The Fat Men kept up their good work
| last week by taking all three games
from the Orientals. Games of 1,O44, 9tS9
and 967 is something classy-merely an
average of !sc!.
| A bowler shouldn't get excited If he
! fails to get strike every time he rolls.
Cheer up, Van" some day you will hit
| the pins good and then they will all go
| down-maybe.
| Cox and Withers had an interesting
! sevcn-game match last week. the former
averaging 22l and the latter 200. The
youngster held close to the veteran until
Cox got that 30 game.
| The Interiors certainly landed hard on
the Bureau when they took all tree
games. 1t now looks if the latter
| team would have to hustle to keep in
any of the first three positions.
Miller of the Oricntals bowled pa and
POI. but got only 163 in his third game.
! Don't worry about those averages,
| Charley, you won't want to see them in
print if many more low games come your
way.
| Ernest of the Florists bowled 12s.
jumped to lI6 and then dropped to 124;
| That isn't the first time that a bowler
! ever got out of his class. Just look at
/
The Puritans and knickerbockcrs had
| lots of fun in their set. two tie games,
the last one taking three roll-offs to
decide the winner. Isn't it awful what
a lot some bowlers want for their
/ money?
| Those were not the Firginians that
| bowled the Manhattans on Thursday
night; they were regular Indians. Bowl
ers should remember that there are other
/ bOwlerS on the alleys and that loud and
| boisterous conduct is not good form.
| Auguste and Withers of the Navy Yard
| team are two promising youngsters. Ru-
NOR has it that Manager Chase has few
| more just as good under cover. Might
| just well hand over the blue ribbon
| for the coming season and save the
trouble of bowling. if that be the case.
Joseph j. Batch. who died February 10
was one of the founders of the Depart
mental League and member of the
Bureau bowling team for several years
/ Mr. Batch was the first president of the
| league, was hard worker. both for the
oganiZaton and his team, and it was
| largely through his efforts that the De-
partmental League occupies such a prom
| inent position in local bowling circles.
