ALREADY DECIDED
IN MANY BOWLING LEAGUES
But There Are Still Several Organizations in Which
Teams Are Fighting Hard for the Leader
shp-One Tie Exists.

The pennants have been decided IN
many of the bowling leagues. Whie
there are several circuits in which TWO
or three clubs have a chance for the
championship, there are others in which
there is little doubt about the probable
winner.
In two of the three big leagues, the
Arcade and National Capital. 1t appears
very much as though the pennants are as
good as decided already, but in the third
recognized strong circuit it is by no means
sure tnat the club which has held the
lead practically all season will finish IN
the top position. The Sherwoods are go
ing at such a gait and have been hang
ing so determinedly to first place IN the
Arcade League that it seems they VIII
hold on to it, provided they have no mis-
fortune. In the National Capital organi-
zation the Y NJ. G. A. has been going at
such a gait as almost to preclude any
possibility of its being overtaken. But in
the District circuit a different state OF
affairs exist. The Jeds have been In nrst
position for some time, but they are oelns
showed to the limit by the Royals. In
fact. it would not be big surprise to
see the Royals GUST them. The light De-
tween these two clubs is a merry one and
bids fair to continue right down to the
end of the season, though 1t would m
deed be rather unfortunate for the JedS
were they beaten out right at the end, es-
pecially after holding the front place Tor
so long.

Some Teams Making Easy Wins.

There are some of the other circuits
in which teams are making easy wins
out Of the races while there are others
in which clubs are running neck and

Navy Yard the Miscellaneous Shop is

Office circuit. it being conceded that 1t
is about the strongest bunch OF boWlers
in that organization.
The only tie now existing in any OF
the circuits is in the Patent Attorneys
League, the Pattison and Evans quints
being on even terms with seventeen
games won and seven lost each. There
is a very close race in the Southern
Clerks League. there being only one
game difference in the standing of Law
and Managers. Carroll and Spalding
councils are battling tooth and nail for
the title in the Intercouncil League.
while the Manhattans and Pioneers are

With the closing of the entries for
the eighth annual championship tourna-
ment of the National Bowling Associ-
alton only three weeks away the out
look grows decidedly brighter. In the
eight short years the N. B. A. has been
organized to- correct the wrong OF sec
tionalism great strides have been made,
and the end is not yet.
Not the actual number of entries, for
that in itself tells nothing. but the
number of bowlers representative OF
different sections of the country ought
to be taken into consideration. Already
the eastern portion of the United
States is being organized in a bowling
way as it never has been before since
the game became popular. Pot-huntins
teams which have gone after the Ameri-
can championship at every preceding
national event are no longer popular
here. The so-called expert is no longer
feared, for the rank and file realize
that any person in the world has a
chance, If half bowler. in a short
series of three games. A reference to
the past champions reveals the fact
that Peerless Jimmy" Smith. with all
his wonderful ability, never won a
national title until last year at Roch-

events in which there are nine games

While the New York State League

While the New York State League
magnates decided to go along on the
same salary limit of 1913 they really did
bring about a boost In the figure by
agreeing to make the $500 agreement
read exclusive of a manager. This means
that the salary list of most of the teams
will run as high as $3.50 or $500 a
month. Last season part of the playing
managers salaries was figured in as a
part of the $500. but this year the teams
having such managers contended this
plan wasn't fair and accordingly had the
limit to read exclusive Of managers
wages.
