TEAMS ARE PUNCHED
IN ARCADE LEAGUE
But Seven Games Separate
First Eight Teams in Duck
pin Competition.
By KIRK C. MILLER.

Probably no organized duckpin race
now being projected on any alley In
Washington has punched the number
of teams together in as lively n compe-
tition as that which now exists in the
Arcade League. which rolls on Chic
Gandils Arcade Alleys. Although only
tcn-team league. the top eight teams
arc separated by but seven games, and
this condition Is one which can not be
boasted of by any other loop OF this
city.
While Hess and Y. NJ c. A. are tied
for the leadership. each with records
of twenty wins and ten defeats the
other teams trail along. hardly a games
difference separating them. The Ar
cade Marketers bring up the rear Of
wins and seventeen defeats. just seven
games in the rear OF the leaders. Be-
low Arcade are Ir.perials and Mt. Pleas
ants, and each oil these teams is i'm
proving its rolling TO such an extent
that they are threatening at any minute
to creep into the charmed circle.
Raccar Club. of the Northeastern
Duckpin League today finds itself lead
ing the circuit with a percentage of
.69S. All three games were won from
the Chapin-Sacks Company and as a
result the Raccars leaped over the
Birlkes. Waverlies and Washington
Abattoirs.
There is also a new leader In the
Reclamation League today. Accounts
have been ushered into that lofty po-
sition as a result of wiping up the al
leys with the Engineering outfit. Ac-
counts, path to The top position. how
ever, was not flowery one, as a roll
off was necessary to decide the third
round.
Those tail-end Imperials succeeded In
proving that they are not entirely out
of the running by winning a game from
the naughty Security quint in the Mt
Pleasant League.

men who have the highest records for
three consecutive games between the
present time and the End Of this month

Plan for Additional
Scholastic Basketball
League to Be Adopted
Proposition May Be Broaced to Five Schoos-nerest in the
Game Would Be Greatly Increased Should Another Circuit
Be Formed to Incite Competition
By BRYAN MORSE.

The proposal coming from one high
in scholastic basketball circles, that
five teams of known caliber not repre-
scented in the interscholastic basketball
league join in a separate league is
likely to meet with approval It is
intimated that Friends. Georgetown
Prep. Gonzaga, the Tech A. c., a team
composed of Technical High School
players. and the Army and Navy
Academy will join forces in league.
Tho idea while not new. would re-
oeive the sanction and help of those
interested in the interscholastic basket
ball league according TO a canvas. There
seems a possibility that the subject
will be preached TO the five team some
time during the week. It is pointed out
that any of the teams mentioned would

now in operation a hard fight for
win.
At the present time all Of the ten
teams playing basketball in the schools
meet each other. Business, Cathedral,
Army and Navy Prep, Western. and
Eastern have had in operation for the
past five years the Interscholastic Bas-
ketball League, which plays a series of
ten games for the title. II the five
other teams would form league and
tho winner were to meet the winner of
The Interscholastic League for the
schoolbov championship in series of
three games, considerable interest
would be manifested in the engage
ments.
Right now the time is thought to be
ripe for the formation of the new cir
cult and the next few days probably
will find representatives of the schools
getting together for the formation of
new circuit.
Growing interest in basketball in the
city is noted every year and the time
viii come when practically every high
school and prep school in the city will
be represented on the floor.

THE CHIMES OF TERlGONDE. :
The Eroping spires have lost the sky.
That reach from Termoude town:
There are no bells to travel by,
The minister chimes are down.
It's forth we must, alone. alone,
And try to find the way;
The bells that We have always known,
War broke their hearts today.
They used to call the morning
Along the gilded street.
And then their rhymes were laughter,
And all their notes were sweet.
heard them stumble down the air
Like seraphim betrayed:
God must have heard their broken prayoa
That made my soul afraid.
The Teemonde- bells are gone, are gone.
And what 10 left to say?
It's forth We must. by bitter dawn.
To try to find the way.
They used to call the children
To go to sleep at night:
And then their songs were tender
And drowsy with delight.
The wind will look for them In vain
Within the empty tower.
We shall not hear them sing again
AT dawn or twilight hour.
It's forth We must, away, away,
And far from Termonde town,
But this is all / know today
The chimes, the chimes are down!
They used to ring at evening
To help the people pray.
Who wander now beWildered
And cannot find the way.
