Association Quint Takes Severe
Slump in Class of Game in
Arcade and National Capital.
LANGD0N A. C. TAKES ONE
TaiI-End Team of Northeastern
Circuit Stops WaverIy in
Last Contest.
By KIRK C. MILLER.

crack Y. NJ. c. A. duckpin team which
mas been giving the National Capital
Leasuers a pretty exhibition up until
the past week-the blow coming this
rfnre when Capitol Hills took all three
games from the Association outfit,
thereby giving Palace a clear lead OF
three and one-half games IN the league
standings. Tonight Palace rolls the Co.
Iumbians and this advantage is likely
10 be heightened to a full rive-game
margin.
simultaneously with the downfall OF
the Y team in the National Capital
circuit, they experienced almost as
great a shock up in the Arcade League
when Hess went into the lead after
making a clean sweep OF the alleys in
its match with the Argyles. This is
the first time that the Y. NJ. c. A. has
been out of the van Of the Arcade
League this season and the two severe
Jolts Of last night has left the whole
team in a state of pandemonium.
A mere glance at the scores of last
night shows that no member of the
team is rolling up to his form and
this goes for every bowler from Pilot
Earl Elker to Anchor John Eiker. Earl,
particularly had disastrous evening
on the maplewoods. His scores were
81, So and 101, three Of the lowest marks
which have been posted opposite his
name IN many days, yes months and
years. Barely a month ago Earl ac-
Quilted himself nobly by turning IN a
game of 49, and It is almost inconceiv-
able that his game should drop at this
time to almost half that amount of
pine. Meany, Farrow and Jolliffe also
suffered in the matter of scores. their
figures OF last night failing to approach
anywhere near their usual high marks.
OF the quintet, however. John Eiker
and JoIliffe were most fortunate, their
rolling having a shade on that of the
others.
To get back to the winners in the
National Capital League. it might be
mentioned that the Capitol Hill aggre-
ration was rolling like a house afire.
All Of their games were in the 800
lass, and Kreiger's string in the open
ing game amounted to just Us, that
being the highest individual game.

Lanedon Athletic Club escaped a |
withdrawing in the Northeastern
League by the small difference of one
pin when the Dreadnaughts were taken
on in three games. 1t was in the last
string that the Langdons won their only
anne by a score OF 420 to 4l9. Hurley
vas the individual star, with game
Il 16 and a set of 297. Langdons have
been struggling along at the rear of the
Northeastern League, and last nights
single win from the naughty Dread
neughts has filed the cellar champions
nth hope and confidence.
Probably no night of the season has
zen so productive of 'three-straight'
~irs as is true Of last night. OF the

Utes strengthened their hold on first
Dlace in the Y. NJ. c. A. League. when ,
he Cayugas were caught for three in
a row. The closest game came in the
econd string, when Utes' margin of
ictory was single pin, the score be-
ing ee5 to 254.
