CHAMPL LEAD
WASHINGTON K. OF c.
FraiIe Has High Individual Game
and w. Griffin Holds Flat
Record .

With but two moro weeks OF bowling
in the first series of the Washington
council OK. of c. Duckpin League. the
Champlains now seem to be the team
which will lead the quartet Of quints
out Of their opening schedule. When
the initial series is completed, but half
OF the games will have been disposed
of, and as in many Of the other circuits
the last half of the program will be
the hardest. from a standpoint of
competition.
Champlains have a lead of four games
on LaSalles and Balboas and DeSotos
follow at short intervals. Some COM
mendable rolling among the individuals
and teams has featured the present
season with the knights of Columbus
rollers. and better marks are promised
when the race reaches its maximum
speed. Fraile, of the DeSotos, has high
individual game, 131, while high fiat
game OF SO belongs to W. Griffin. The
greatest number of strikes has been re-
corded by Whitley, Of the Champlains
and Schulteis of the LaSalles, both of
whom have spilled the whole bunch of
duckpin eight times each. NJ. Griffin,
also Of the Champlains. has the league
record for spares, his figure in that line
having jumped to g.
Here are the individual averages:

English Lightweight Said to
Have Made $4,000 in This
Country.

Packey Mcfarland Is generally looked
upon as the blOated Crcesus of the
prize ring, but If figures submitted by
James Johnston. genera! manager and
director of the James Johnston's Enter
priseS are correct, Owen Moran has the
"stock yards wizard'' beaten by many
thousan nds OF dollars. Mcfarland was
recently quoted as Fay!ng that his
worldly wealth tOtallcd not more than
a paltry $1,000.
Moran IS over here now seeking
matches with either Iightweights or
featherweishts. He is challenging
Johnny kilbane tO a fight at the feath-
erweight limit and Willie RitchJe to a
contest at any weight the lightweight
title holder might insist upon. Johnston
still insists that Owen is the greatest
tighter Of his wepht in the world. He
evidently compiled the following lists
of Moran's fistiC earnings to show what
his services are worth to a club pro-
moter.
In all Moran has fought a total of
thirty-seVen bouts during his sojourn
under the Stars and Stripes. These
fights and the attendant theatrical en-
gagements netted 39O,S5O. That is the
sum that Moran has earned in dollars
and cents. 1t does not include what he
received for bouts in England and other
countries.

Baseball Bits From Everywhere

Monte Cross who was a scout for the
Browns a few seasons ago, IS said to
have signed as umpire in the Federal
League. Having done this, Monte las
accomplished about everything possible
in the national pastime.
Eddie Collins will never be able TO
claim he made records in baseball cur
ing his first season as a professional
player. He went under the name OF
sullivan that year. and the official
statistician has refused to keep hose
records.
Manager Bill Hinchman. of the Co
lumbus club, in the American Associa-
tions has received word from Eemper
Shelton that he will sign his contract,

Federals

the fans of that poor settlement are
hoping that the outlaws have better
luck than the Browns or Cardinals
have experienced TO date.
Fritz Maisel, the third-sacker for the
Yankees says that he signed with Far
rell because he had promised TO do so
after he heard from the Players Fra
ternity. That is why the Federals lost
him.
