One of the biggest surprises of the
when the Patent Examiners put a crimp
in Navy's pennant hopes by taking two
games.
Jack Brosnan was in a fair way to
put high set, held by Charlie Miller. on
the bum Thursday night. Bros started
with 1872 and piled up 270 in the second,
but 169 killed his chances in the third.
Getting two games in the 140s didn't
help Miller a bit in his race with Jimmie
Field for individual leadership. Charlie
had been going awful strong up until
this set.
our Cap" Essex showed that he was
a member of the comeback class by
running into a 231 game against the
Commissioners. Frank f1anked it on
both sides with 152 and 145.
Roepke's excellent pinning practically
his first he came through with 139. but
the next two showed 212 and 221.
President Hunt showed a lack Of prac-
tice in the set against the Warriors.
He managed to pull up with 18S in the
second. but those other two of 127 and
III looked awful bad.
Even our old friend Frank Myers can
get a good set fsometimes). Frank
likes to bowl league matches. but for
some unaccountable reason objects te
practice.
Dutch" Fritz made his second ap-
pearance of the season with Navy, but
his hook ball seemed to have lost Its
cunning. When going right Fritz is as
good as they come.
National Capital.
Wonder what caused the Mount
vernons to forfeit that set to the
Nationals? Maybe the ImperiaIs were
rolling somewhere else.
Johnnie Eiker put a jack under that
average of his. against the Nationals.
Starting with 129 in the first, he fin
ished up with 10s and 110.
The Y. M. C. A. won two out of three
from the Nationals, yet both teams have
exactly the same number of pins for
the set. That 564 game in the second
eVened the pins up.
Pop" HALEY started in to break a
rev records. alleys and various other
things against the Bureaus. His first
two showed 124 and 113. but Sc in the
last pulled his average down.
aftsp Monder Iera~ia what at Tip o'Neil had to say
two of 50 and so? That big game prac-
tlcally won for the Bureaus.
Joe Michaud jumped up q few pins
through the aid OF $50 set. With scores
OF 100, ia and Ill. he finished with an
even ITO average.
After getting an average of 116 with
the Mohicans. Meany comes back with
219 set against the Nationals. But
what's the difference as long as the
\. NJ. e. A. won?
Colonial.
Rolling with only four men. the Conti-
nentals, through the aid of Harry Sher-
woods 254 game, managed to win from
the Puritans by thirty-five pins.
If there is any doubt In the mind of
some bowler as to what team won the
championship in the league, we wish to
refer him to Pop Hartmann.
President Page of the Colonial League.
Yes. sir, and President Page of the
Washington City Bowling Association.
. The association could not have made a
better selection than the popular head of
the Colonial League.
You will have to hand it to the Man
hattans. They have demonstrated their
superiority over all other teams in the
league. and the manner in which they
did it leaves no doubt as to which team
should have won out.
Brother Mack sure did run into a streak
OF bad luck during the past week. The
man who only stays for five minutes
had the misfortune to bowl 226 in his
| first game
With a little strengthening on one or
two teams, the league will perhaps be
about as evenly balanced circuit as
there will be in the city next season.
1t is with the greatest of pleasure that
we note the two games over the double
century pulled by Lonnie Krauss. AS
the original hard luck guy, We hand 1t
to him Qn tenpins).
Northeastern.
| The Hilltops received a slight setback
| at the hands Of the Atlantics. Salb's
pets came through with $50 In the last
/; and copped from the pennant chasers.
. Tommy Crooks had an awful bad week
! at the pins He only averaged 1O6 for
| his share against the Hfltops. That 116
! game in the last helped trim the Hill
| tops.
After getting away with 131 in his first
| game, it looked very much as though
| Sam Hawksworth were going after high
| league set. but the best he. could do in
| the next two was 30 and 0G
