DUCKPIN LEAGUE
STANDING OF TEAMS.

A, number Of surprises were In order
during the week, and as a result a num-
Der OF changes took place in the standing
of the teams. Car Record landed on the
Law team for the entire set, when 1t was
expected that the strengthened Lawites
would clean up. The PaymasteFs came
back in form and took three from the
Comptrollers, thereby moving into frs,
division. Traffic lived up to its record
during the week by taking game from
Tie and Timber. The postponed game be-
tween Claim and the Managers was
rolled, which resulted in a victory for the
last named team. 1t winning two games
Tanner secured his release from Trans
portation, and is now a member of the
Law aggregation. It is expected that
with this addition Capt. Terry's team will
prove a stumbling block for the first d.
vision occupants.
The Paymasters took one game from
the Managers in their set rolled during
the week, and that by one pin. A spare
I'm the last box by Hoppe clinched mat
ters for the Parkerites. Hoppe rolled
1O3. Ill and then miserable 70. His
average dropped under the 100 mark
but-wait later.
Transportation rolled four pins better
than Mechanical in the first game OF
their set, but fell down in the other two,
and the tailenders are as yet tailending.
Traffic seems to have the idea. that one
game is all that is expected for 1t to
win, as out of the eight sets bowled 1t
has taken one game each set, with the
exception of that against Law when it
trimmed the latter team two games
Jones was responsible for the game won
against Tie and Timber, as he came
across with a 116 score.
Thompson Of Car Record boosted his
average during the week when he rolled
81 set against Law. Spence also kept
game has strengthened his team consider
ably.
Capt Parker of the Paymasters. has
quite squad to pick from, and in the
set. with the Comptrollers he bowled eight
men. Hoppe and Cults are the mainstays
of the team, both averaging over the 50
mark. Cults is also member of the
Y. NJ G. A. Braves team. while Hoppe is
better known in the Capital City League
as a member Of the Y. M. c. A. team.
The addition of another series of games
with each team will undoubtedly make
the race for honors more interesting. At
present Claim, Managers, Tie and Tim
Der and the Bookkeepers seem to have
the best chances. but dark horses will
spring up and upset calculations at criti-
cal moments. The new schedule will pro-
hibit the postponing of games. and teams
when unable to show up will have to
forfeit. 1t is hoped that the teams will
equal the record of last year and have no
forfeited games.
The Auditors have a new mascot in the
person of F. D. Pollard. jr. It is under
stood that he will also be likely candi-
date for the Auditors base ball team in
the spring.
Arrangements will shortly be begun for
the annual banquet and smoker to be
held at the end of the season. The SPLEEN
did success of last years affair is we'll
remem bered by all those who were pres
ent. President Pollard has not as yet
appointed committees, but active steps
will be taken after the holidays.
Don't blow mans spare for him be-
fore he tries for it. 1t is not good sports
manship, and it is not giving the square
deal.
