BY BOWLER.

Eliminating two clubs from the
leadership OF two leagues and soaring
the vanguard Of another created a
lot OF gossip in bowling circles during
the week. AS a result better condi-
tons exist in the Elks' Antlers' and
Studebaker leagues. The Deer, who

BucktaiIs Routed by Hairs.
Both ends Of the percentage column
in the Antlers' league find new oc-
cupants as the result OF the weeks
by the Hairs while the Tails were
grateful enough 10 relinquish claim
TO the flag end OF the list to the Teeth.
The Bucktails were victims of cir
cumstances, agreeing to a postpone

without their full strength represent
ed but submitted 10 the ordeal
gracefully.
There were many anxious moments
in the Studebaker league for the
leading Axles during the week after
the loss OF two games, but the run
ners-up, the BOlsters, we're kind
enough to lose as many games to the
Spokes.
In the meantime the Studebakers
clipped another series with scarcely a
struggle and Capt Gentle's men are
at present the most feared team in
the league. Winning all their games

tory IS the clip the G. A. C.s are
going in the G. A. club league. Every
club in the league has tackled the
steam roller and all have been
brushed by the wayside with the sin

fortunate enough TO win one game.

the measure of the leaders but they
never came within 80 pins in any of
their efforts

that they play consistently enough
against each other but are unable 10
concentrate their attack against the
leaders. Just two games apart from

tit. but when they are through they
only class as second money getters.
Cooked Hatters i'm Distress.
Campaigning and counter attrac-
tons have played havoc with the
Cooked Hat league. and the affairs
OF the organization are in a serious
condition. But the crowd is of the

been given that the wrinkles will be
ironed out in the immediate future.
