Small wonder the American Bowling
Congress in Chicago Is such success
when the Windy City bowlers themselves
contributed z5 hye-men teams with a
corresponding number OF entries in the
doubles and singles.
A new District record for the season
was hung up by Jack Brosnan, Of the
Commissioners team, In the Department
League with a score Of 20. which Is
some score. Too bad. old man, the frst
and third games were not over the double
century mark as well. Still, set Of 6al
is not a bad nights bowling by any
means, no, Stree.
The newly formed Y. II. c. A. duck
pin leagues. has not shown any startlingly
high scores as yet. but for closeness the
games are all that can be expected.
For instance. in the Iroquois-Sioux set,
the former team lost two games, the frst
by one and the second by two pins. while
In the game they won the winning mar
gin was seven pins.
There's no use talking. you've got 10
hand IL to Goodman, OF the Garrisons, In
the District DuckpIn League. for being
able TO deliver the goods day after day.
set Of 40 with high sco-e Of lSl is
duckpin shooting OF the CLASSY order. ami
''Goody'' does Il right along.
The Crescents. OF the Northeastern
League. slipped something over ON the
Bills when they trimmed the Williams
two games out OF three, taking the last
by a scant one pin margin.
The Royals are still keepiTs up that
winning streak Of theirs in the District
Duckpln League, and copped the series
with the Arlingtons. taking all three
games. But they had to do some bowling
TO land 'em. The first game being won
on the rOIl-off, while in the second a $40
game proved 10 be only nine pins more
than the Arlingtons' score. This seemed
to take the starch out OF the latter team,
and the Royals won the third easily.
