games count and not pins.
Mike German has a habit that is
certainly exasperating to the Navy aggre-
cation. Mike takes great delight when
these two teams meet in shooting a 200
average. Harmed, of the Warriors, is
another who piles up the wood when he
faces the Navy.
Should the Commissioners win their next
SIX straight games they will be right in
the race. as they now stand with sixteen
won and eleven lost. While only half of
the season, or rather half of the scheduled
games, have been bowled, there is fine
chance for either one of the three leaders
getting commanding lead by a squirt.

Fifth was unable to widen the gap be-
tween Sixth Tuesday night. Both teams
dropped their last game ST. Marks TAX
ing one from the Presbyterians and Ken
dali getting one from the Baptists.
The scores as whole were better than
the week before Wolff pulled a 1857 set.
Mckillen had 1863, Davis, 339 and sew
erai others finished with over go The
team scores likewise showed to better
advantage.
Westminster succeeded in taking the
entire set from Bethany, every game
being over the 500 mark. Bethany man
aged to count sos in the second, but lost
out by thirty pins.
Mckillen rolled beautiful set against
bethany. He started with 123, shot l15
in the second and finished with 49, His
teammate, Davis. had scores of 100. 126
and 1903
Saw Henry Htchfield after the second
game AGAINST the st. Marks quint and
he actually had a Quaker Oats smile
Lltch had it all doped out that Fifth
would drop the last game, while Sixth
would clean up. Fifth lost all right, but
so did Sixth.
Richards got away with 121 in his first
game and threatened to break few
league records. but a % in the second
shot his set all to pieces He counted los
in his last attempt.
Excellent pinning on the part Of Leach
failed to stave off defeat for his team at
the hands of Fifth. His string showed
totals of 103. 10 and Ill.

Only four men In the league were able
to pull through with 100 average du. ing

Brinkley and Biggs were the honor men.
Rickenbacker started with only 6S In

came back with 103 and III, giving HIM
an average Of 90 after such a poor start.

Werner managed to slip in a couple of
games over the three-figure mark against

The Star, after dropping all three to
the Washington Tobacco Company, came
back during the past week and trimmed
the Tolman Laundry for the set Why
all this inconsistency?
With 3O1 pins for his set, Dave McCarty
dropped few off his average Dave
mas struck a rut where, no matter how
sood you hit 'em they fail to break.
Tho Washington Tobacco Company
lost ground in their run for first place by
dropping game to the Chapin-Sacks
quint Had they COPIED ali three, The
Star would have made no gain
Hughes shared with Rodier, the honor
or being the only men in the league to
roll all three games over the century
mark. Hughes pulled ia, 1o2 and 1O1
Morrison spoiled a good average by
sandwiching in a lousy II between two
games of 104 and III. Maybe those
counts below 80 don't pull you down.
Wonder where Negosta would have
landed II he had bowled eighty-six more
games He started with 50, came back
with SO and finished with ST. Slow but
sure.
Not man on the Tolman Laundry
could reach 100 in single game against
The Star. With such good bowlers as
comp. Use the team there must have been
something wrong. or was it just one of
those off nights for everybody.
Our cd friend, 'Scoreboard' Rodier,
came into his own, and the way he cut
them down was sight for good eyes.
He made the rest Of the team look like
mighty poor aggregation.

The AGNES, by taking all three from
the Loveless bunch. managed to crawl
UP another notch. Had Arminger been
able to keep his team intact all season
they would have been mighty near the
top rung.
The two Macs. C1ure and Knew, were
there with bells on. Both boys tried
hard for high set on their team and they
finished with the same number of pins.

ing the Resolutes. They won the first
game by mile, the second. by one pin
and the last by five. Rodriclhs 40 game
saved the second and his 1O2 put the third
on ice.
"Bucker" Bradley showed his versa
tility twhatever that is) by mauling the
wood for three counts of over 100. We've
always known that Brad was some star.
only we hated to tell him so.

EFT was credited with rolling every bit
Of ten in his first game when it should
have been 100. Match, like every one
else, gets a bad one occasionally, but
that was too small to be true.
Fowler missed three games over the
century by a hair. His last two were
well up, but the first was just one pin
shy of the three-f1gure mark.

In the official averages Of the league
we failed to see the names Of Krauss and
McKnew. The Official scorer certainly
must have overlooked these two. as we
saw them rolling with the Southern team
one evening.
kupfer, in the Managers-Comptrollers
set, was the only man on either team to
pulled 1O7 in his first and from then on
not a man could get anywhere near II.
Freight continues to set the pace and
took Revenue into camp for all three
The Managers and Mechanical were the
other teams to make clean-ups.
Saunders, by the aid of a 127-game,
managed to throw in an average Of 1O2
