U. G. Goodman Sends a Sweep
ing Def to Rollers of Bal
timore.

Capt. L. G. Goodman, whose Royal
team in the District League is making
an effort which has been unsuccessful
to date to pilot his team into the leader
ship Of that circuit, is not satisfied with
the class of competition his team is
meeting in this city, and has written
a sweeping challenge to Baltimore in
which he asks for a special series with
the best rollers the Monumental City
can corrall. Goodman's challenge is very
open in its nature and invites games
with any organized bowling teams
which are members Of leagues within
the city of Baltimore.
In his letter Goodman states that
there has been no classy competition be-
tween the two cities this year, and his
proposal goes in the form of an appeal
to the bowlers Of Washington and Bal
timoTe to stir up bowling intercourse,
and he suggests his team to render the
classy rolling for this end. Several
series in which Baltimore aAd Wash
ington teams figure are now under way.
and games have already been exchanged
between quintS Of the cities.
The Washington Gas Light League
entertains the rollers from the Mary
land metropolis on February II, in re-
turn for an enjoyable evening spent
by them as guests of the Baltimore
Consolidated Gas and Electric Company.
Within the present month the Carroll
Council team will go to Baltimore to re-
turn the engagement here of the
knights of Columbus rollers on Satur-
day, January "A. Despite this, Good
man wants a match with some Balti-
more outfit for his Royals. One year
ago he arranged a similar match in
which Johnnie Vaeth's all-stars had
little difficulty walking off the alleys
with all the Royals could put up IN the
Mav Of duckpins.

Claim to Be Lacking in Bones But Shrewd Observer Looking
Them Over They Ro Proves Beyond Shadow of Doubt
That T. R. Was Thinking of Them When He
Made His Famous Pronunciamento
By KIRK c. MILLER.

One million times has the question
been asked, where do bowling teams
find such unmeaning- names to distln-
guish themselves by" and the an
swers that have been forthcoming
have been almost as numerous as va
ried.
Probably the best way to answer
such a query is by offering counter
question about like this: where DO
Pullman cars and race horses ma
their names2' Everyone knows the
latitude which these speed monsters
embrace when selecting names for
themselves--and the same is true OF
the lOwlerS.
Queer. Why, the word is expression
less; most of the cognomens assumed
by a quintet of duckpin or tenpin slaves
for their teams are nothing short OF
ludicrous, and they should properly be
classified as such. This goes for both
the name and the man who thinks
of it.
Here are a few of the widest moni-
kcrs which have been adopted oy
Washington bowlers-Give them the
double-O and see II you can extract
sane idea from any one of them, as 1ar
as their connection with good bowling
