RACE IS CLOSE IN
DISTRICT LEAGUE
Royals Three Straight Wins
Over Garrisons Creates
Keen Competition.

When the Royals won three straight
sets from the Garrisons and the Jeds
pocketed two out of three from the Rel
monts, the winning teams were precipi-
lated into a race for leadership in the
District Duckpin League which may
last we'll into the end of the schedule.
1t is almost certain that the margin
between the Jeds and Royals, the two
leading teams, cannot be widened be
tween now and the holidays, and a
tense situation in the standings Of the
teams will have to go over until the
opening of the schedule on January 3.
AS the teams now stand, JedS lead
the league by the narrow margin Of one
game, having WOE tWenty-elght and
lost eight games, while Royals, the
TunrerS-up, have won twenty-seVen and
lost nine. Resolutes and Belmonts eX-
pect a close run for third position. At
present Resolutes have three games on
the Belmonts. but the former quint has

LESS THAN 4 MAN

Upon the wall of room in a little
Harlem fiat there hangs a sword, and
this is the story which its owner told
me:
Herr Lieutenant Adolf Schmitz,
seated with some fellow officers at q
table in the cafe of little German
garrison town, was very boisterous,
and, as was his wont when he had
been drinking, he drew his sword
from its scabbard and laid it upon the
marble table top.
Every officer in the garrison knew
that famous sword. and not a few re-
