Ward is the fifth man. Gain and Cum

Stars have turned in only seven names.
McCarty, Rodier, Burhans. Corwin and
Essex (captain) are the left-overs from
last year. with Whitford and Collier as
the new men. In the opening set of the
season the newspaper team won all three
from Judd & Detweiler. and Bill Bur-
hans turned in 336 set, with 136 as
high game.
Woodward & Lothrop again expect to
be in the fight. though Capt Johnson (or

had to leave the city after rolling three
SETS and his loss was severe blow to
the ice cream boys chances. He intends
to stick the whole of the season this
, year, and with Moler. Simpson. Thomp-

the team should give good account
Of itself.
Judd & Detweiler has Morrison. Guam

Fillinger. and while the team is not
expected to cut much of figure in the
race the members are sure to put their
best efforts forward Bowling for the
love of the sport is the motive which

the league. Rudolph-West numbers

Final arrangements for the Colonial
and Departmental leagues have not
been completed. but the tenpin artists
are expected to take the alleys shortly.
The District of Columbia Amateur Bowl
ing League seems to have reached the
last stages OF it's existence. Il has
been on the rocks several times in the
last few years, dues'to strife and bick-
erings in its ranks. and the announce
ment that all the games will be rolled
on one set of alleys this year does not
augur well for its success. Whether
the little pins have made inroads
into the tenpin ranks which Ii cannot
stand, or whether, as has been repeated
Ily stated, dissension and strife is the
main cause, the fact remains that the
tenpin game Is gradually losing its grip

was hoped that the A. B. c. tournament
would be staged here, and that 1T would

there does not seem to be a great deal

the Younger devoteeS of the big NAPLES

and will be reopened next Monday
Many alterations have been made and
prospects for a good season for the
14th street alleys are bright.
