CHURCH BOWLERS
IN A CLOSE RACE
Westminster Team Leads in
Duckpin League.

!. The season of the Interdenominational
Duckpin Bowling League Cbetter known
as the Church League is rapidly draw
ing to a close. The race has been in
terestinS ever since the start when II
looked as if the st. Marks team was
going ts run away from the rest, but
by persistent work the Westminster team
caught up to and passed St. Marks, after
about a months time. Since then the
Westminster team has not been out Of
first place. although they have been hard
pressed by the Sixth and Kendall teams.
By taking two games from Kendall
this week, the Westminster team
knocked Kendall out OF second place. and
Sixth. by winning three games from the
new team, Bethany, went into that posi-
tion.'
Fifth has been doing consistent work
for the last six weeks. and has been
winning a majority of its games. Beth

LAUNDRY BOWLERS
ARE IN LlMELIGHI
Commercial Leaguers Now
in Third Place.

One of the newest members Of the
Commercial Duckpin League is the team
of the Tolman laundry, whose picture
appears elsewhere on this page. This
being their first full season in the league,
their standing, third place at present. is
highly creditable one indeed. To defeat
the "whitewashcrs" on the maple drives
opposing teams have been forced to do
their utmost and all the records of the
Commercial League for high team score,
high team set, and high individual game
have been made against the laundrymcn.
Just at present the Tolman laundry
team is very much in the bowling lime
light, owing to the high position held by
them in The Washington Herald's popu-
larity contest. First place has been their
lot in this contest since its beginning
and they confidently expect to remain on
top of the pile after the final count is
taken. If ability to poll votes and hus-
tlinG for subscriptions are OF any avail
their chances look bright.
The team is captained by NJ. W. Camp
bell, veteran duckpin spilIer well known
to the District duckpin enthusiasts While
not bowling up to his form of previous
years, he still manages to como back"
frequently, as his high score of 142, the
second highest made in the league, and
high set of $50 testify. Undoubtedly the
coupon n-collectinG craze, a severe attack
of which he is suffering from. has to
some extent affected his bowling
4. Rabcr. another old-timer on the
team, manages TO give good account of
himself despite tho fact that Dame For
tune has not smiled upon him too often
in his attempts to make record scores.
W. D. Du Busky is d newcomer TO the
duckpin game, but, as his past perform
ances indicate. he has made good on the
team from the start and at present is
leading the laundry team in individual
averages.
Another convert to the duckpin game
is 3. Poland, who is now finishing his
first season with the team, and appears
to have no trouble in making good
a. T. Du Busky, for the past two sea-
sons a devotee to the small-pin- game,
has made an excellent record in that
time and is very apt to make some of the
old-timers look to their laurels.
The team is lucky to have two such
capable substitutes as c. III. Gurnee and
c. Z. Foster, who, however. have not
had opportunity this season TO display
their prowess on the alleys in behalf of
their team. Either of them can hold his
own in fast company and will bear

TURFMEN SEE GOV. DIX.
r. T. Wilson, IT,, Wants Directors
Liability Law Repealed.

Albany, April 1a-N6ortS to repeal the
law Of last year which makes directors
OF racing associations liable In criminal
courts for gambling on race tracks under
their supervision we're renewed yesterday
when r. T. Wilson. IT,. president Of the
Saratoga Racing Association. called on
Gov. DIX. Mr.. Wilson was accompanied
by Andrew Miller, secretary OF the as
ISOLATION.
They explained that the present law
making directors guilty Of misdemeanor
if there Is gambling on the race tracks,
whether they are aware OF Il or not. was
the cause OF suspension Of racing in
this state this year.
While Messrs. Wilson and Miller had no
specific plan to propose to the governor.
they hope to interest him In behalf OF
running races. Gov. Dix would make no
comment on their visit except to say that
they had discussed with Senator Bracket
Of Saratoga q plan to relieve the direc-
tors Of liability.
Senator Bracket said that he had under
providing for the state police to be sta
:.oned at the race tracks to enforce the
law in relation to bookmakfng, tho ex-
pense Of the police to be borne by tho
racing associations,
Assemblyman Martin Of earatoga county
recently introduced o bill providing for
the repeal OF the directors' liability law.
It IL understood that several Of the county
fair associations will take an active In
erest in obtaining the repeal or q modifi-
cation OF the law. Gov. DIX. his friends
believe, would not be unfriendiy 70 such
q course.
