all during the season that ranged from
anywhere around the 1900 mark to over
the sixteen hundreds. they capped the
climax by not only setting q new league
record Of 1,7O1 held by the Y. M. C. A..
but went the District record just twelve
pins better. Strange as 1t may seem, the

pinning has practically featured on an
average OF four out OF FIVE sets which
the Fourteenth streeters have rolled.

Pearson came through with 3S0 Had
Goodman been in his usual good form the
chances are that the Casinos would have
registered a total that would have stood
the gam for many days. As It IL, lib
pins is q mighty hard set to top. but
from the Improvement being shown by
the various crack quints around town
during the past season it would not be
surprising to see the new record smashed
during the coming season, provided the
class of bowling continues on the upward
grade OF the past two years.
During the past two weeks two more
league championships were decided, the
Casinos sewing up the pennant in the

In the Carroll Council, placed themselves
in such a position that It will be impos-
sible for any other team to beat them
out In the race for the flag. That these
two leagues have enjoyed the most sue
cessful seasons Of their career there is
not the slightest doubt and their pros
poets for the 1923 season are exceed
ingly bright.
You can place a pin here. Regardless
OF reports to the contrary, the tenpin
bowlers are going into the city duckpin
tournament In far greater numbers than
had been anticipated. With all the ham,
mering the tenpin game has received
from various duckpin quarters during the
past season, 1t will only be necessary to
point out that only one bona fide duck
PIN bowler of the city was entered in the
pices Of the Washington City Bowling
Association. mighty miserable showing
OF good fellowship alongside of what the
big pin spillefs will enter in the different
events OF the coming tourney. The SOON
er some of the tackheads connected with
both games realize that there is ample
room for both games in this city, SO
much sooner will the bowling game in
general be benefited thereby.
The report is being circulated by q
prominent member Of the Duckpin Asso-
citation. to the effect that The Star is
much publicity to the coming little pin
tourney az 1t did to the tenpin events
held last February. We do not deny the
statement. but at the same time we
would like to call the attention Of the
bowlers to the fact that The Star Is q
booster for not only tenpins, but the
ducl1pin game as well. and just as soon
as the association officers can see their
way clear (D to give out information to
The Star, this paper will do the rest. The
clamlike attitude assumed by various
members OF the association is hurting the
game far more than they may realize.
It il all over but the shouting in the
Carroll Council circuit. BY taking all
three games from the Santa Marias. the
Ninas copied the bunting. with the CO.

The Columbias had no trouble in TAX

Mount Pleasant League. BuelPs Diggers'
low game showed ISL. Grindle helped
matters along with an average Of 1913.
The success which the Potomac Coun-

practically assures the league OF being

That interieague match between repre-
sentatives from the Ingram and West

food for thought. The out-east boys are
throwing the hooks into the Ministers in
q shameful manner.
Looking over the scores Of the 7. NJ.

A new league record for high individual
