BOWLING SEASON NOW
REACHING FINAL STAGE
Leagues Are Winding Up Schedules, With
Several Maintaining Interest on Account
of Close Race.

One by one the bowling leagues are
winding up their season, and the middle
Of April will see practically all with
closed shutters. Afer that only the an
nual duckpin tournament will stand be-
tween the game and oblivion until the
first signs of autumn make their appear
ance. A couple of organizations are
maintaining interest in the race to the
finish, although the schedule In the ma
jority of cases Is being completed In a
perfunctory sort of style. There will be
an awakening. however, along toward
tournament time, for this event has
always been one Of great interest to the
bowiers generally, and a large entry list
will undoubtedly be filled. President
Cox's reputation as an untiring official
and a hustler In all matters pertaining
to Journeys Is being lived up to. and the
duckpin knights who compete in the af-
fair know In advance that their interests
will be well looked out for.
A meeting Of the board of directors Of
the Duckpin Association is called for
next Friday night. s o'clock. at the
Palace. Committee assignments will be
made at that time.
Garrisons got an awful wallop last
week, losing all three games. Looks very
much like the Belmonts now.
Evening Star and Hahn each won its
scheduled games last week. and the
newspaper team retains its lead. Tuesday
night The Stars meet General Baking,
while Hahn will be called upon to face
the Chaplin & Sacks outfit Friday. Both
sets should be interesting.
Y. M. C. A. had it's set postponed last
week, as the Climbers alleys, where the
games were to be rolled. were for some
reason or other unavailable. The asso-
citation quint now has four postponed sets
on its hands.
Fat Men won five out of six games last
week, disposing of the set they had with
the Nationals by taking two. while the
regularly scheduled set with the Casinos
also lost game to the Nationals. while
Palace won three from the Mount Yer
mons. Welsbachs have a four-game lead
in the National Capital League.
The Atlantics must be some team. When
a ouint can get so far ahead OF the neid
that the organization breaks up, 1t surely
must be classy. How about that matcn
with the Fat Men? Two months ago all
ARRANGEMENTS had been completed to have
fhe Northeast League stars fight 1t out
with CAROLS team, but somehow or
other the match fell through.
Who'll be high in the District League
HALEY or Michaud? They surely have
3, pretty battle on for the position.
