week previous, the contenders tor the
subway championship inflicted a triple
defeat upon the leaders on the latter
own alleys, Bob Jones, with an aver
age OF 1S9, leading the attack. Among
the prorninent features Of this set-were
scores of 1I9 and rs. which are not as
rule, considered especially good games
even in duckpins, and much less SO in
tenpins.
In three closely contested games. the
Traffic team, of the Southern Railway
League, defeated the Comptrollers by
margins OF IS, p, and 10 pins.
The Toman Laundry team in the Com
rnercial League had the hook thrown
into it three times by the Woodward &
Lothrop quint. When are we going to
win a game, Bill?
That the Arlingtons took all three
from the Eurekas in the District Duck
pin League was partly due to Al Fen
toms excellent score of lS5, for the win
ners, and Smiling Sam Loveless
score Of IS for the losers, the winning
margin being but twelve pins. Sam is
sore, believe me.

one by five pins and losing the odd one
by six pins. And IL Tommy Harlow
hadn't blown spare in the tenth
frame of the second game, or il Burdine

The use it is Just as hard to figure it out
As Is the question, How does Houdini
do it,"
The new Rudolph & West team. in the
Commercial League, is coming closer TO
winning a game with every set they
howl. In two of the three games lost
to Chapin-Sacks the difference was seven
and five pins. respectively. Keep plug
ging away and you'll surely slip some
thing over one Of these days.
No, Bill Swaggart, you cannot join
our little aforementioned society Of
three with that score OF yours. One
hundred and twenty-three is far too
high for US, and makes you ineligible.

defeated Hahn & CO. in two OF their
three games. while the Stars dropped
the odd game to the Boston Baking
Company quint. The Evening Star team
lost one game by a lone pin, which also
was the winning margin in one of the
games won by the Tobs Cconists, thanks
10 Lcvy's high score of l23.
Wonder whom the boss is getting that
hook out for?
