TEN PIN KNIGHTS
SHOULD PRACTICE
Men Are Getting Into Condition
But Are Prone to Stay Away
From Alleys Except on
Nights of Games.

Local bovlers are making rapid
strides ia getting into better cOndi-
stiou as scores throughout the city are
far better than they were the opening
week But tho players are far from
what they are capable Of doing and
only constant practice viii develop
them With the enthusiasm and
interest on the surface in league play
the practice work is not what it
should be. especially among the new
players
flashes OF extraordinary perform
snces during the early part of every
bowling season but these appear 70
be very rare this year. SO far there
have been just two stellar individual
performance. and, strangely enough
both were executed by veterans. In
the Factory league KRONER posted $50
for the Watchmakers. while Holland
of the q. a. C's turned in 642 in the
O. ~ club league.
But the play I'm all Of the leagues
showed good Improvement and was
we'll distributed. which was in the
main shown on teams in the second
division OF their respective leagues.
This has produced splendid effect
and created many disturbances in the
percentage columns. With the eXCep-
ton OF the BuCktails there are an
entire new lot OF teams in the first
division of the Federal league caused
by a remarkable feat ina that all the
contests were won in straight heats.
OF the nine leagues i'm operation at
the end of two weeks play there are
but three clubs who retain a perfect
percentage. which are scattered I'm as
many leagues. The Singers. cham
pions OF the G. A. club league last
season still have perfect record
this year; the Tenders have clean
slate in the Trio league. while the
Jewels in the Elks league are still
travelling without a loss charged
against them. Because Of the SPLEEN
did handicap system i'm vogue in all
of the organizations these conditions
cannot prevail much longer and the
clubs leading this week may be in
the second division within a fortnight.
\ remarkable situation is presented
in the Stude baker league where six
OF the ten clubs have am equal num-
Der of games won and lost. But the
other four are widely separated, the
Rims and Tongues having lost but one
game each while the Bolsters and
SpOkes have won but single game
out Of the six played. This is out OF
the ordinary for the latter as they
have figured prominently among the
leaders or the league ever since the
club was organized.
The Watch Co. team. i'm the Fac
tory league. is making another grand
getaway. They played the first two
weeks without disaster but were nick
I'd for one game last week but are now
lied for hOnors by the divers. Last
year the Watchmakers moved every
thing down before them during the
first part Of the season but finished
within an ace Of the last hole when
he final whistle blew. The Singer
club, which made such "a gallant fight
asst year. after lowering i'm the rear
fOr the greater nart of the season APP
pear TO be duplicating their efforts
his year
Captain Schuell is going great guns
With his team in the Elks' league.
With a detachment of absolute raw
'ecruits they are moving everything
before them and il they continue their
present clip they will have the battle
Won before the other teams get their
lighting machinery modified.
