satisfaction on the part of Westminster

only fair, save in the game West

two games, mainly due to the strong

That the Welsbach team is not very
partial to the y. NJ. c. A alleys was
again demonstrated Wednesday night,
when Whitford s quint took the league
leaders into camp for two games. This
is the second time the Welsbachs have
lost a set at the association this year.
| the A c. NJ. Y.s being their conouerors
on the other occasion. The feature of
the set Wednesday was Alonzo Krauss'
20 score in the second game, which his
team lost by eight pins. This is the first
time krauss has hit the seventies this
season. At first blush 1t might appear
that the We!sbachs were .slumping' and
! that their lead in the National Capital
League is not as secure as il might be.
As matter of fact. Halley's team has
a postponed set with the Potomacs on
the Palace alleys, and at least two of
these games should be taken. With six
| fun games as a working margin and the
| team intact. there is no reason to believe
otherwise than that the present leaders
should come in ahead by comfortable
margin. The two contenders--Palace and
Y. N. c. A.-have been good only in spots,
and neither is displaying the form neces-
sary TO overhaul the present leaders.
The fact that the Welsbachs are not set
ting the pace at which they travelled
earlier in the season is to be expected.
The work of Halley's quint during the
first two months was nothing short of
sensational, and i; can we'll afford TO go
