without denial, and it was because of
bowling the space many thought 1t de-
served. Yet. it is a cause of much COM

Monday night last, for an instance, there
were eighteen sets scheduled in seven
teen different leagues, and yet the
scores of only nine of these were sent
in for publication. Those sets, the re-
suit of which are unknown save to the
participants and those who were pres

son District League). Treasury VS.. War
Departmental Duckpin League), Comp
trollers VS.. Auditors (Southern Railway
League), CAROLS VS.. Hanlons Northeast
League). Reds VS.. Greens and Whites VS..
Blues Westminster League). Boosters
VS.. Whites Ungram Church League), and
Chamber of Commerce VS.. Florists, Dis
trict League). During the rest of the
week. the percentage of scores which
were not sent in was just as large. This
condition of affairs should stop. Una

with the papers in giving publicity to
the matches. Upon this newspaper public
ity depends the success of the sport, as
does every other game on the sporting
calendar.
1t would seem, therefore. that the cap
tain of the home" team should see that
the results are sent to the papers. If
it is not convenient to get them to the
morning papers, the scores written on
postal card and addressed to the
Sporting Department of The Star, will
be given the deserved consideration. Just
because the home team fails to win or
there are no out of-the-ordinary scores
made is no reason why the results
should not become public
