TWO HIGH MARKS
SET BY BOWLERS
Fred Hart Scores PAS in One
Game and 657 for the Series
Trio League Ends First
Half of Season.

This week proved a hummer in To-
cal bowling circles for high scores
and the seasons high individual mark
was twice beaten in the same game.
that between the Tails and the Buck
tails Joe Naftzger opened the hOstil-
tiles with PAP but il lasted for one
game for in the final Fred Hart
boosted il to 245. The latter also
posted the high series total 10 657
for the season.
The same period proved further un-
doing for the leaders in three OF the
local leagues. In the Studebaker
league the AxleS, were beaten to a
FRAGILE by the Rims with the result
that the latter have dislOdged the
AXles, who have led the league all
season. In the Antlers' league the
Bills lost the odd game to the beers
and are again tied with the Toasts.
In the Trio league the Tenders,
who have led the league all season.
met with a serious reverse and but
for the prOhibitive lead II might have
resulted disastrOusly and robbed them
of the honors Of first pennant win
neTs. The Trio league closed its fall
schedule last week and although the
pennant race was procession
throughout considerable interest was
manifest The league will remain in
active until Nov. 23 when the spring
schedule will open for a series of q
weeks
Three Clubs Tied.
AS the result of the overthrow Of
the Bucktails by the Tails and the
twO-game wins Of the Elks and
Fawns the three clubs are now tie for
the lead in the Federal league. And
that with a very nominal percentage.
This league presents one OF the pretty
percentage columns which Will have

est until the schedule is completed.
There - considerable jockying in
the Elks' league. Last week found
three Of the clubs. the Hairs. Jewels
and Horns tied for first place. But
this was badly shattered as the Hairs
now occupy the top place alone The
Horns came through with two games,
winning one of them from the
Charms by three pins. mainly through
the fine score Of Hayes Brown. who
brought home 203. The Jewels suf-
fered severely because of the absence
Of their captain owing to death in
his family
Have Many Ties.
The Studebaker league has a great
penchant for tie games. this as we'll
rs former seasons. 1t is seldom that
any club gains any considerable lead
because of the splendid handicap sys-
TEN in force. At present the league
is without a trailer, as the whole sec
Ond division of the league is tied only
one and one-half games behind the
500 mark, and. the whole bunch are
but five games behind the leaders.
League Leaders Bunched.
Another fine race is in force in the
Oliver league where three clubs, the
Main Office, Foundry and Purchasing
being tied for first place, with the
smallest percentage of any leading
clubs in the city. Considering that the
first five clubs OF a six club organiza-
ton are within two games of each
other shows how all the clubs are
matched IT is indeed that the tail
ing Patterns should be so far in the
rear.
The Watchmakers appear to have
something on the rest Of the clubs in
the Factory league. They have been
at the top throughout the season and
only once have been threatened when
the divers were tied with them four
weeks ago. The poor showing of the
Singers is a serious handicap but the
battle between the other four clubs
for the minor positions keeps the in
terest up.
Considerable interest is manifest in
the twO-man team tournament each
week at the Elks' temple. the play
increasing over 90 per cent ever the
previous week. Van Kirk and Burk-
art won first prize with 1850. Staples
and Waters second with 1,229, Engle-
drum and Waters third with 1.216,
and Hart and Schnelle finished fourth
with 1,194
