Rolling against the Fat Men that night,
the SaengerbundS, averaged 97S, with
scores of $50. 972 and 966, the greatest
losing set undoubtedly ever shot In the
District. Fred Eckstein contributed 214,
222 and 22S and Willie Miller, 257, 200 and
2O4 for the Germans, but mediocre work
upon the part of the other three men
offset these two excellent sets.
This paper is in receipt Of a request
from Mr.. NJ. d. Baker, one Of the prime
factors back Of the Ingram Memorial
League, in which he asks that notice
be given to Joe Fowler and Harry Oehler
that their challenge appearing in one of
the local papers is accepted.
Mr.. Baker stipulated that the match
ed on neutral alleys, the Palace preferred,
and names as his team, Harry Wolsten-
holme and Ray Crown.
Should the match go through it should
furnish some mighty high-class pinning,
as all four bowlerS are capable of giv1n :
a good account Of themselves, especially
in match play, and Wolstenholme in par
ucular being classed, when gong right,
as ranking with any man the city can
produce. Let 'em get together and fight it
out.
Lest the tenpin bowlers forget, the
date OF closing Of entries to the city
tournament is next Saturday night at II
O'Clock, and the officials have set down a
rigid rule that under absolutely no con-
sideration will they accept an entry after
the time set, unless in the case of having
been mailed it shows that it was posted
prior to II o'clock midnight. There will
be a meeting Of the city association at
the Palace alleys next Wednesday night,
and 1t Is requested that every bowler in
terested In the coming tournament be
present.

WASHINGTON CITY BOWLING
LEAGUE TOURNEY A HUMMER
Nineteen Teams Already Entered and Many
More Expected-Gossip and News Of
Different Leagues.

That the coming tournament, to be held
under the auspices Of the Washington
City Bowling Association, will be the
largest and most successful ever run off
in this city, there seems to be not the
slightest doubt, when 1t Is made Anown
that at this early date treasurer Will
liam l.. Miller has received the applica-
tions and entrance fees from no less
than nineteen teams.
Heretofore 1t has been the general Gus
tom OF the teams and bowlers to withhold
their entries until the last possible mo-
ment and then swamp the tournament
and schedule committee with demands
for certain dates, but this year seems to
be the exception. Those teams who are
anxious to be allotted dates have sent In
their entries early. and by this way they
are assured OF getting the date which
they desire.
While no definite line can be gotten on
the number of teams that will participate
in the hve-man event, there Is every as
surance that il the entries keep coming
in like they have in the past few days,
the number will be swelled to at least
thirty-flve. Should thirty-five Quints enter
the team event ii will break the record,
n thirty-four has been the high-water
mark for several years; in fact, since
the tourney of 1909.
For the benefit of those who contem-
plate entering the different events for the
first time the records made during the
five previous tournaments, Is here given:

BALTIMORE, Md. February 3.-In
one of the most sensational finishes
ever witnessed on any alleys, the Pal
ace duckpin team came from behind in
the third game, the crutial point In
the intercfty series, and. overcoming a
seventy-five- lead at the ninth
box, won out by twenty-six pins.
Washington at the start tonight was
113 pins to the good, by virtue of their
fve-game victory in Washington last
week, and Increased this lead the first
game here by twenty two pins.
Baltimore came back strong in the
second game and cut the lead down to
about ninety pins. Starting the third
game, Baltimore annexed a seventy
flve-pin lead. and were well on their
way to winning out, when the Palace
team made a wonderful squirt, getting
twelve marks in the last four boxes

Sailors, as Navy dropped two of their
set with the Plate Printers.
Charlie Miller put a crimp in Bill
Swaggerts high games Of 262 and Joe
Hardie's 635 set.- With any kind oi
luck Miller would have put up an awful
big set. as he had 3 wide open split In
his first game, and poor breaks cut
him down in the third.
Navy's next set is with the. War
riors. Be good idea to shoot the
six games that night and clear up the
postponed set of December FL.

Lem Windsor made his appearance in

tice in no way affected his games, as
he turned In 1872. 1877 and 1872.
Both Swaggert and Myers of the
Commissioners got away to excellent
starts, but games Of 16O and 172, re-
had for a good set.
With Jimmie Field dropping a point
in his average last Friday night and
Miller getting $50 for the week, these
two are a whole lot closer than many
think. Hardly over a point separates
them.
Every team in this league will enter
the five-man event Of the city asso-
ciation's tournament. It is to be
hoped that the entries in the two man
and singles will be just as good.

Losing with 57S is something that is
not done every day or week. or even
month. Had not Everett fouled in the
tenth OF that game 1t would have been
still worse. as the Palace would have
lost with $50
Johnnie Baum didn't put up much Of an
average against the Potomacs, but that
141 game certainly did come in the right
place. 1t practically won the second game
for the Mount Vernons.
Buckarino Harley was the shooting kid

was made against wooden pins. Even
at that you will have to. give Handy
credit for his performance, as quite a
number Of the so-called cracks shot at
rubber pins in league games and even
then failed to better the former record.
Wonder what struck Weekley and JEFF
fries after that first game? The former
got away with 139, and Jefferies 12S, yet
both men barely averaged over one hun
dred.
High individual game for the week
! went to Triplett who pulled 157 In his
first game. The best he could do in the
next two was counts Of 90.
Nope Frank Chadwick didn't roll last
week, so we couldn't say anything about
| him. If we were certain he was on the
road We might take a chance and knock
him. h-
The way the captains of the teams in
the league switch their line-ups is enough
to make you cross-eyed. When team
goes through a set using only five men
it is something unusual.
After that big set of last week, Jerman
comes back and shoots three games OF
81, 81 and 81. This last set will take al
the advantage from the other one

ing that tney nave participated IN the
greatest tourney the local game has ever
known.
There are perhaps not over ten bowlers
who offhanded can tell tho marks made
In tenpins that are recognized and stand
as District records. such as high indi-
vidual game in competition, highest av-
erage ever attained by q bowler for q
season, highest individual set, high team
game and set, and greatest number Of
1t has long been thought-in fact, the
statement appeared not over couple of
weeks aso-that Arthur Allison's set Of
23S. 237 and 237. a total Of 712, made on
the Washington Saengerbund alleys, No
vember %, 1906. was the highest set ever
recorded In competition. But the writer
must have overlooked the fact that Joe
Hardie, bowling with Bureaus in the De-
turned In set of 719, beating Allsson's
record by seven pins. Hardie's mar has
stood the test. and from the scores which
have been posted during the past two
ger Of being topped.
Many persons know that to Willie
Miller belongs the credit for shooting the
highest game ever bowled In a league
match. ass, on the night Of January II.
1865, when the Saengers were booked with
the old Acmes. To Bert De Yo goes the
homer of rolling the highest game ever
pulled of in the District, go. although
rumor at one time-to be exact, March 25.
19o4-hpd Hank Allen credited with q 800
game on the Rathskeller alleys, but the
score fer some unknown reason was
never verified. Another individual per-
formance. the record OF Harry Krauss, in
maintaining an average of over 200 for
sixty games in the District League is
probably only overshadowed by Krauss'
own feat of rolling 11S consecutive games
+ in twenty-fos1r hours for an average Of
1856. This probably is the greatest bowl
ing feat ever pulled or In Washington.
In the matter of consecutive games won
BY a team, there have been many bril-
liant spurts by quints during the past
few years, but the achievement of the
Ambulance Corps Of the old National
Guard League in winning thirty-two
straight games is record that has
stood ever since its making, and per-
haps will never be equaled in the annals
ot the local game.
The highest team game ever made In
the District was bowled by the Saenger-
bund January II. 1905, when in their
last game they amassed 1,122 pins. The
individual scores Of that game were:
Allison, 211; Burdine, 20S: Eckstein. 212;
Crist, 20S, and Miller. 2SS This is the
only game over LOO ever shot in the
city In that same set the Germans
hung up a total Of 1904 for a District
record, and just two months later they
bettered this mark with games OF 1,09S,
