! fidently predicted, will go to Allan L.
Thompson. "the grand old man of
athletics. who already holds three Y. M.

being last seasons champ. Thompson Is
regarded as the best all-round athlete In

In the same series of contests, Year
ago. Thompson hung up another high
mark that no one has since touched,
when he put up the twelve-pound shot
| 326 times. The season before he did the
sixteen-f foot rope-climb in 30 seconds,
which is another record. Had Thompson
| entered the first series of gym contests
| this season. ne would undoubtedly have
| brought home the bacon.
Another record which is to be estab-

the shot-put. The present gym record
| of As feet inches. established by Thom-
as Sheridan in 1908, is regarded by the
physical directors of the Y. NJ. A. as
being low, and they say that another

ARCADE LEAGUE IS
STAGING HOT FIGHT
Present Leaders Closely
Pressed by Four Teams.
Brandt Best Bowler.

The Arcade Duckpin League not only
has the best race on its hand of any
other bowling organization in the city, but
the present alignment Of the teams dis
closes a most remarkable fact in that the
Arcade Market. which is two full games
ahead of the nearest team, is last in team
averages, with only 1901 for thirty-six
games; has never totaled 100 for any set
this season, its highest count being 1.4s4,
and every other team but one has rolled a
higher single game. In individual aver
ages Cue. with 1902 for thirty-three
games. is the only member of the quint
with an average better than a century.
That the team should be leading the or
ganization, therefore, under these condi-
tons is truly remarkable. The team APP
parently does not possess the strength
requisite to keep 1t permanently In the
lead. and at least three of the other out
fits as at present constituted should beat
it out on the seasons play.
The Market House team. however, is
the only one of the pennant centenders
which has stood pat with the roster
with which 1t started the season, the
other quints, with possible champion
ship in view, having gone downtown" to
get stronger material. Were it not for
the fact that the two-league rule prohib-
it's it, great many other stars would
probably find places on teams In the hus-
Ting Mount Pleasant organization.
While Harry Krauss Q16) and Carroll
dlD have the best averages, these two
stars have only rolled in one set and are
therefore not entitled to the honor of
heading the league Brandt, with 1OS.7
for eighteen games. is the real leader,
Thyes 1O2 mark for thirty-siX contests
also deserving mention. Stars high set
s93-is in small danger of being reached:
This bowler has the greatest number OF
strikes to his credit. with fourteen, while
Thye has pulled sixty-fve spares. Sher-
wood has the high team set. 1.5S6, which
is just two pins better than G. P O.'s
best total Emmanuel and G. p. o. are
tied for high game, each having made
j6;
ImperiaIs and Emmanuel meet next Fri
day night and the following Tuesday the
Arcade Market takes on Emmanuel. On
the 21st Sherwood and Emmanuel meet,
and by the time these sets are rolled the
probable pennant winner ought to be lead
ing the procession.
