leagues have more than half finished
their seasons. there are four circuits In
which no team holds the slightest adj
vantage. Ties exist between the two
leading teams in the Pepco, Terminal
Y. NJ. c. A., Columbia and Engravers
organizations. and no team has evil
denced such form that it can be picked
as a probable winner with any degree
of certainty.
In the Columbia League. which holds
forth on the Royal Alleys. the Cubs and
Critics are on even terms. Each has
won 26 games and lost 10. The Gen
eral Superintendent's Office and the
Storeroom have been running each other
q close race in the Pepco circuit all sea-
son. and by the way they are going
now it seems that only the bitterest kind
of fight can decide the pennant. Out

but the two leading teams are showing
enough of a race to insure a tough time
Of it for whichever club may win.
The Y. NJ. c. A. has increased its
lead in the National Capital League. The
association quint now has six games on
Palace in the won column. while it has
lost three less. In the two matches last
week in which the two clubs figured
Palace won two out of its three games,
while the Y. NJ. C. A. got g. clean sweep.
1t was an advantage of one full game,
and every little bit added to the lead
held by the w men is counting to
considerable extent right now. The lead

seems there is little chance for any other
five than Palace to get the leadership
from it. Unless Palace can squirt enough
to overcome the advantage it is likely
that the association will get the cham
pionship.
There is one league in which four
teams persist in hanging SO close to-
gether that either is in the running and
may GUST the others from their places at
any time The Navy Yard. Bureau,
Marine Corps and Pension quints are the
ones running SO close. Any time the
club in fourth place makes a sweep it
will go into the leadership. The change
of a game or two will throw a five from
first to third place.
There is one club which has yet to
lose a game. In the newly organized
Station F. League the Carriers have not
been defeated. They have taken all six
of the contests In which they have
rolled. 1t is rather interesting to note
also that the Parcel Post team, which is
in last place, has yet to win, It having
dropped six games.
Some time ago quite little discussion
was created IN local bowling circles by
reason of some remarkable scores re-
puted to have been made by the MarSton
team of Brockton, Mass. Another set
was rolled last week between this team
and the Bijou quint of the same city.
the scores of which are exceptional. The
following is an account of the set, taken
from Brockton paper, with the scores:
