Bowling Comment

The Southern team, which won the
championship in this league last sea-
son, is again in the lead, with u games
Won and 3 lost, whicn gives It a per-
centage Of 800. Captain Humerickhousc
has made but two changes in his line
up since last year. and these two men,
l. l.. Smith and w. L. Smith have no
doubt materially strengthened this as-
gregation.
From the way Southern is bowling at
present, It is going to be Il hard propo-
sition TO dislodge it from the leadership.
Freight. however, with II won and 8
lost. is 2 close second, and il would not
be surprising to see Captain Mark and
his crew give hard fight to the lead
ers before the present section closes.
Southern and Dsbursers hooked up in
three good games last Friday night.
and the former. by continuing their fast
pace captured all three contests. The
losers, however put up a game fight.
and IL was not until the last couple Of
boxes OF each game were rolled that
Southern was sure of victory. Dis
bursers seem to be in q. bad slump just
a present. but are certain to be in the
running before very loEg, as Captain
Lehman has some of the best bowlers
in tnis league.
