IT was Knights of Columbus night at
the Palace and word had been heralded
throughout the kingdom Of Potomac
for all the Sir knights to foregather
and bring with them their best duckpin
ere There were the tribe OF Henne-
pins, the third of La SALES, the Cham
plains, Marquettes, De Sotos, and the
Baiboas; all answered to the summons
for a grand duckpin match at the big
palace on the hill.
Five gallant and noble Sir Knights
came from their various husbandmans
TO roll at the royal duckpins and the
night on the Palace alleys was pro-
claimed one of the most successful dur
irg the reign of old King Potomac.
To tell the story more simply, If such
a thing were possible, the six Potomac
League teams of the knights of Column
bus held their weekly matches at the
Palace alleys. Those fake tribes re-
ferred to are only the names of the
teams and the gallant and noble Sir
knights are mere men who make Up
the teams.

473 to 4e4. The third set went to Henne-
pins by totals of 4S6 to AL.
Next the Champlains and Marquettes
took the alleys. The first round indi-

had been rolled. Marquette won with a
grand total of 474. Champlains seemed

and the tcn PINS balanced in the direc-
ton Of that quint. Score 40 to 49, The
final match between these teams was
indeed bitter one; each side had a
game to its credit, and this third une
would decide the honors of the even
ing.
Both teams, started out with fiat
games. About the seventh box, the
Marquettes experienced a disastrous
slump and failed to find the middle of
the alley. In the meantime, Champiairs
kept up their steady fiat game, and
nosed out with an advantage Of some
thing like twenty-five pins.
Balboas were at a handicap in their
sets against De Sotos. 1t seems that
there was a fancy dress ball at the
Grand Lodge of the K. Of c., and many
of the Balboas were absent, their places
being filed by substitutes. All of these
sets went to De Sotos.
A match game is scheduled for the
Brunswick alleys for tomorrow night,

1t was an eyentful evening in the In
dividual tournament, when McKnew,
rolling against Weiser, and Van Bus
kirk, took both games, thereby tying
himself with the latter for first place.
Van Buskirk later won a game from
weiser. II being this match that put
the two leaders on an even footing
Each has won fourteen and lost four
matches. The standings In the in
dividual tournament are as follows:
