To John T. AIeany. president of the
National Capital League, and a men,
Der of the Y. NJ. c. A team, in both
the National Capital and Arcade
Leagues. belongs the credit of rolling
Up the highest individual set OF the
season in the Arcade, when he amassed
total of S7s pins, it coming as the re-
suit Of games of al, IA, and 80. Incl
dentally, Meany's performance dragged
the Y. NJ. c. A. quint back on even
terms with the Hess outfit for the lead
erSh1p OF the Arcade, both teams now
having a record of % wins and 10
losses, giving them a percentage of
Just .657.
Friday nights match, in which the
Y. NJ. c. AS took all three games from
the Imperials, indicates that the famous
quintet is regaining some of Its old
time form, only il is feared by some thar
IL has recovered itself little too late to
save itself from the onrushing Palace
team in the National Capital League.
The bitterest of good-natured rivalry
exists between the Us and the Palace
outfit, and these two teams have been
melting city-wide attention for the past
three weeks.
Those US had a bad night again this
week, when they rolled in the National
-dlll6l loop, and dS ldSl nlBul > lnTeS
wins by the Palace over the Column
bans put the Z streeters at safe dis
lance to the fore of the league, the
association squad feels that 1t has re-
covered from its slump in time, at least,
"a save its reputation in the Arcade
league. The other race, however, is TO
he halfway mark, and consistent
bowling such as was contributed last
night viii give even the Palace lads a
hard rush to win out Not only was
Meany's set of SIS a record for the Ar
rade this year, but for all time, and he
IS deserving of all of the credit which
mates and the followers of bowling
generally.
Earl Eiker's set Of 346 is not to be
deplored, and his brother. John, also
anne through with some good. fat fig
ures. Joliffe showed a big improve
ment over his work while the team !
was in the ''rut," and its general per- |
formance last night gives the Us IL |
cense for much JOY and Thanksgiving |
today.
Besides the PaIace-Columbians set in
the National Capital League, q match /
was also rolled between the Brunswicks
and Potomacs. Captain Fletcher's lads
responded nicely to the call and Won ,
Two out of three from the Georgetown
lads. Potomac's one victory in the |
opening string was by the narrow mar
in Of four pins-this fact, however,
does not detract in any way from their
win, as it came as the result of a hard
fought round.
Coincident to the winning OF two
games by the Brunswicks, a triple tie
vas created for fifth place, the teams
aoncerned being the Potomacs, Bruins
wicks, and Casinos. each Of whom has /
won II and lost 16 contests.
Decaturs failed to stop the Newtons in !
ne last game OF their set. and as a |
esult the Parks enter into next weeks |
-ames with full games advantage on |
he Decaturs. Parks and Decaturs
ave been alternating in the van of the !
ut Pleasant wheel for several weeks,
nd the interest shown in this compe-
ton has run second to the Y. NJ c.
Palace controversy.
