ton OF hOstilities during the holidays.
With league play practically closed,

mittee in charge 10 was decided TO

New Drives Arouse Interest.
Announcement through the press Of
the opening Of the new Orpheum
bowling establishment is creating a
great deal OF interest Work will be
begun on the construction the middle
OF this week and IL is expected TO
have four of them ready for Christ
mas play. 1t Will probably be 10
days longer before the entire equip
ment is completed.
tt VIII be the first time in four
years that South Bend has spOTted a
public bowling establishment and the
eight alleys 70 he installed should be
sufficient TO accommodate that kind
OF play during the current season.
That considerable interest is shown
can be seen that several bowling
leagues are already under construction
and reservation for their play has al
ready been applied for.
Good Finishes i'm League Races.
In nearly every league throughout
the city interest runs rampant be-
cause OF the compact condition Of the
percentage columns OF the various or
CARNATIONS. This is most pronounced
in the Elks, Antlers' and Federal
leagues, where a number Of teams
have a chance to cop the bunting in
the last two weeks Of play
In the EIks' league there is terrible
congestion. Attic ugh the Jewels have
a lead of one game there are two
clubs behind them in a tie, and. the
Hairs are but a game behind the
Horns and HoOfs, which means that
the loss Of a series of either of the
leading four clubs in the next two
weeks Will mean the loss of the pen
nant
Others Just as Bad on.
A similar situation exists in the
Antlers' league. where the Bills have
a lead OF two mes over the TOasts
and TuslIs. Should the leaders meet
with reverses and the runners-up
come through clean it means that the
latter viii have the edge
Perhaps the most compact percent
age column in the city is that Of the
Federal league. The BUcktails have
an advantage Of two games il is true.
but should misfortune Overtake them,
which is probable, either the Fawns.
Ellgs or Orphans have a chance to
cash.
Factory Leaguers Compact.
no less interesting is the race of
the Factory league. At present the
Watchmakers are leading by a single
game. This team started the season
at the head Of the procession but
they were Overtaken by the Ball Bands
and divers at intervals. But they
recovered.
At the c. A club things were en-
tirely drawn out, as the Athletics
made runaway race OF il during the
carly stages OF the season. But the
little fellows have co,ne from behind
and il is sure 10 be a battle to the
finish One Of the remarkable drives
Is that Of the Colts. who lowered
