LEAGUE AVERAGES
Manhattans Anchored in First
Place, With Krauss Best
Individual,

With the end Of the season only a
little moro than Ave weeks away,
championship honors in the Colonial
League will probably go to the present
leaders, the Manhattans. Enjoying a
seven-game lead over the Pioneers, the
only possible way in which they could
lose out would be for the runners-up
to win their next fifteen straight, while
the Broadwayites were dropping six out
Of twelve. The loss Of one game on the
part of the Pioneers would bring the per-
centage down to a point where the Man
hattans would have to drop eight of their
remaining twelve games to finish second.
That the leaders will win at least eight
of their remaining games is 2-to-1
bet, while it is almost certainty on
the other hand that the Pioneers will
drop at least one and possibly more
games.
In individual averages Harry Krauss
leads the league with 1913, but mas
much as he has only b0wled twenty
four games, the rightful leader is Alec
Bum, who has Isl for thirty-nine
games.
High individual game, 245, is held by
Robinette Of the leaders, while the high
set total Of 6S1 was made by Harry
Krauss upon his initial appearance in
the league.
