In the Government Printing Office
Nationals set, Sirlouis was the bright
particular star to shine, with scores of
2l5. ia. and POI.
Redeker. Of the Saengers, seemed
slightly peeved Monday night. 1t wasn't
on account OF the 137, 145, and 16S games
you rid your system Of, was it Jack?
The Government Printing ONCE team
has at least two leaders thus far for
individual honors. Sirlouis leads with
sixteen strikes. and Bair tops the spare
bowlers with eighteen.
The schedule for this week is as fol-
lows: Monday. Chamber of Commerce, at
Carroll Institute: Tuesday, G. P. O., at
the Nationals alleys; Wednesday, Saen-
gers. at the Central alleys.
The Government Printing Office team
entertained the Nationals on their alleys,
the newly opened Speedway alleys. win
ming two games and losing the third ~
the small margin OF eight pins.
In the Chamber of Commerce Central
set, Jimmy Cooper certainly did have
his curve ball working finely. HIS scores
Of 225, the highest made thus far, 100,
and I76, totalins 591, just top Sirlouis
set of $50 for the weekly high-set prize.
The Chamber of Commerce tenn was
the only one to get away without a de-
feat being charged against them, " men
they took the Centrals into camp for
three straight, incidentally doing some
high-class bowling, as the team set of
2,727 indicates.
Capt. Fowler, of the Nationals, IS not
bit discouraged over the failure If his
team to take more than one game from
the Government Printing Office, and does
not hesitate TO assert that he and his
team will take a fall out OF their next
opponents by way Of getting even.
BY way of congratulations, Frank
Sherman, the popular proprietor of the
Royal Bowling Alleys, where the Cham
Der of Commerce team makes its home
and celebrated the opening with three
straight wins, opened up a box of his
private stock cigars for the boys. DUn't
spoil the team, Mr.. Sherman.
In this same set Mcfarland, of the
Nationals, gave ample proof OF his abiI-
ity to hold his own in fast company, with
scores of I66, l91, and 200. But one miss
was charged against Mac, five splits pre-
venting him from possibly pulling down
the weekly prize for high se-- Here's
wishing you better luck next time.
In the Carroll-Saenger set, Thomas,
with 2O3, and Mcintyre, with i9l, we're
mainly responsible for inflicting tue sec
ond defeat on the German tea n. Capt.
Walsh. who realizes that that is not the
way for guests to treat their nosts, -ap-
was greatly distressed and gave
his two team mates a good calling down
for their rudeness. Pat sure did hate to
leave c street with two scalps.
The Saengers surely were a disappoint-
ed bunch Of pin spillers, as they had
expected to take the series
from the CAROLS. 1t is not likely that
the Saengers will remain long in the
second division, but they are not apt to
make a runaway race of II this year as
they did last season. Scores -of go, S5l,
and S32 on their own alleys, will not land
the much-coveted pennant for the Dutch
men.
A meeting of the prize committee of
the league is called for Friday, the aist
Instant, at $50 p. m. sharp at the Saen-
serbund Hall. This will be the last

various teams are earnestly requested to
be present.
Van Buskirk, one of the best, II not
The best, pin knights in town, made sn
Impressive debut with the Chamber of
Commerce team In this league. Van only
was able to roll two games, but showed
MS class with an average of l96 for the
evening" With him on the team, the
Of Commerce, on which he will
bowl anchor, is certain to be a factor in
he race. It's dollars to doughnuts, with
he rim on, that Van will be one Of the
eaders for individual honors when the
curtain rings down at the end Of the
season.
