nature are posted on the ledgers of
two leagues today as a result Of last
nights attack on the duckpins. These
were established by the Capitol Hill
team. Of the National Capital League,
and by the Commercial Alley team of
Tie circuit Of the same name.
Those Capitol Killers went over to
Georgetown to bowl at the Potomac
alleys, where the Potomac team was
met. II was in the opening skirmish
that the mark of 555 for game was
hung up by the lads from BisseIl' s
alleys, and that was the only game
the West Enders. The last two strings
went to Potomac by scores of 500 even
% 1ss and sos to 4S5.
The Commercial Alley outfit Jared
better In the matter Of wins and loses
than did its partners in today's high
hcnors, as the Tenth street aggrega-
uon won two out OF three from the
Giants when II hung up the game OF
h6. The second game Of the set went
10 the Giants. and marked the first
defeat Of the season of the home squad.
However, the Giants scores are indie
alive Of some spunky rolling, as Is
shown in Walsh's fiat game of 81 Ern-
est Miller contributed the highest in
di"ldual game when he turned in a
10 in his final round. He got six con-
Sccutve marks in this string. Com
mcrcial Alleys now have a record of
eleven games won and one lost, and
continue to lead the loop In which they
roll.
Captain Efseman, OF the welsbach
clan, today has the pleasure of check
Ing In three straight games at the ex-
pense OF the Southern Railway troupe
This set puts the Welsbach team in
the van of the Commercial League and
reduces the Railroaders to second
place.

attracted the throng to the Palace al
leys which gathered to witness the
W elshbach- Southern trio Of games. As

bearing on the standings of the clubs
and this Importance brought out q full
coterie OF rooters for both teams Oil
NCri led the cheering section for the
winners while Moe" Goldberg tried In
vain TO put spirit into the work of the
Southern Quint.
In the other match of the Commercial
League schedule, Judd & Detweiler

rounds and dropped the other two to
the newspapermen. Ralph Collins got
into the rolling for the losers Of last
nights set and contributed the highest

second effort.
Jeds maintained their lead in the Dis

from the Royals. This gives Duiin s
outfit a two-game advantage The
strength Of Pop" Halley's organization
was asserted in the third game when
his men knocked down 565 pins for the
game. This is one of the highest team
totals turned in this season and proves
that the Royals are to be considered
in that District League race. A team
that can come back, after losing two
games In row, with that kind Of
should win them something in the long
run. Several commendable individual
scores were also contributed in the Jeds-
Royal battle.

Southeast Stars, and four Of the six
