ALL LEAGUES READY
BowIers in Large Numbers
Are FIocking to Alleys.
NEW BODY IS PROPOSED
Meeting Called for Thursday Night
to Organize Another Commercial
Duckpin League.

One more week will see practically
every bowling league Of the city under
way, and from that time on the popular
indoor pastime will, with two short
breaks, occupy the attention of the sport
loving residents of Washington. The
two diversions from the game will &C.
upon the scene-for your bowling fan is
inherently a base ball fan-and, later,
when the big foot ball games played by
the local colleges claim the passing in
terest of the knights of the maple pins.
That the present bowling season is to
be the most successful ever experienced
in Washington is the belief expressed by
all those connected with the game. One
of the reasons for this is stated by Har-
ry Krauss, the popular manager of the
Palace alleys:
Never in all the time l have been con-
nected with the bowling game in Wash
ington have ! witnessed such wide
spree d interest in duckpns and tenpins
as has already been manifested" Krauss
stated yesterday. Il have received no
less than eight inquiries from teams oth,
er than those rolling in the Commercial
League as to the chance for teams
hooking up with one of the many
leagues about town, and l am confident
that there are enough commercial houses
anxious to roll to warrant the formation
OF q new league
In an effort to bring these prospective
teams together KrausS wants all firms,
clubs or other organizations DESTROYS OF
forming g. league to meet at the Palace
alleys this Thursday night, September
Is, and while he will himself be too busy
to take an. active part in such league.
he willingly offers the use OF the Palace
boardroom to any persons DESTROYS OF
forming a new league. If several of the
bowlers who have spoken to Mr. krauss
will endeavor to get down to the Palace
about o'clock Thursday night and ex-
press their intentions in the matter a
temporary organization may be effected
and q new league formed. The invitation
is open to any and all bowlers who have
the desire to enter a new league.
