Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1913-11-02

The of1cerS or the league at this time
were w. B. Young, president and official
scorer: c. T. Parker. secretary, and F. d.
Pollard, treasurer.
The season was brought to a close with
a banquet in April, 1910, when prizes also
were distributed.
On account OF the increased interest
when a meeting was called for the pur-
pose of reorganiZing in the fall ct 1910, 1t
was found necessary to increase the num-
Der of teams to twelve. gaining the dis
tinction of having the largest league in
the District-in number of teams. The
season was very successful. The night of
May g. 1911, in the banquet hall of a local
hotel the second annual banquet was
given, when 100 members of the organiza-
ton. a number of officials and few in
vited guests attended. Prizes were dis
tributed. The managers were declared
the winner this year. with Tie and Timber
and Claims teams as the runners-up. The
officers of the league for this season were
F. d. Pollard, president; c. Thomas Par
ker, secretary; H. F. Lowman. treasurer.
and w. Brent Young, official scorer.
Spurred on by the success of the first
two seasons. the league was organized
for the third time in the fall of 1911. This
year only ten teams held franchises. One
of the foremost ideas of the league Is to
give the annual banquet. and at the fin
ish of the third season they again ar
ranged for the gathering, at which the
prizes were distributed. The Managers
were again declared champions, with the
Freight and the Tie and Timber quints
as the nearest rivals. Mr.. Pollard was
again president of the league and the
other officers follow: David B. Fegan.
secretary; H. F. Lowman, treasurer, and
w. Brent Young, official scorer.
Not to be outdone by past seasons, the
league prepared for it's fourth season in
hyrf hod IN
the greatest success, and prove also to
the few who could only see failure in
their undertakings that the Southern
Railway Clerks Duckpin League Is here
to stay. and that this league does much
toward bringing the men in close touch
and promoting good fellowship. Tie and
Timber won first place, with Freight and
Accountants not far behind. The officers
of the league were the same as during
the year of 1911 and 1912.
This is expected to be the banner year.
but, on account of changes in different
departments, the league has only been
able to muster six clubs. though games
will be fought for as vigorously as they
in the league are Auditors. Freight. Law.
Managers. Mechanical and Traffic. The
officers of the league are: David b.
Fegan, president: W. F. Barse treas
urer, and C. Thomas Parker, secretary
and official scorer.
David B. Fegan, who is now president
of the league, is one of the most enter
prising men connected with bowling. 1t
has been due to him that number of
things have been accomplished which
have kept the circuit in good shape.
He has been connected with the duckpin
game since 1909. Mr.. Fegan was secre-
tary of the league of which he Is now
president for two years. During the
season of 1910 he was a member of
the Casino team and was mainly instru
mental in keeping it together when 1t
was about to disband. For the last two
years Mr.. Fegan has been a member
of the board of directors of the City
Duckpin Association and has rendered
fine service. He is not only connected
with the game as an official. but also
has taken part as a PLAYER. having been
member of the Belmonts. which quint
won the championship OF the District
League last year. 1t is not likely that
the Southern Railway Clerks will lack
for good leadership as long as David B.
Fegan is at its head.
One set which was rolled week before
last has entirely escaped notice in the
papers previous to this. 1t was accom-
plished by Earl Eiker and is deserving
of a great deal of favorable commenda-
ton. The set was rolled by Edker for the
