IN CRUCIAL MATCH
Takes Two Out of Three From
Y. M. C. A. in National Capt.
tai League.
Bv KIRK c. MILLER.

Palace, -. fs., l.
That Is the quotation which is being
read off of all of the bowling tickers
today and by that token the Palace
Is given a lead in the standing of the
National Capital League which only
the most incessant attack by the "Y
rollers will be able to break down.
When Palace won two game out Of
three from the Association lads. the f
Streeters sent their record soaring up
to twenty victories and seven defeats,
and synchronously the stock Of the Y.
NJ. c. A. team dropped to eighteen wins
and nine losses.
It was one Of the most severe blows
which the quirt has felt during the
present struggle for supremacy and the
same might be said of the Palace, had
it turned up today on the small end
Of the score. The set was for blood,
so to speak and that city-wide atten-
ton was attracted to 1t is atested by
the throng of 400 spectators which gath

To none other than Harry Krauss Is
due the credit of carrying the Palace
outfit safely throught last nights crisis.
As anchor man, krauss performed ad-
nirably in thirty boxes, without en-
ception. and during the entire match
he alnAssed for mis- team a total OF $40,
record for set which is only bettered
by Krauss himself and Carroll, in all
OF the National Capital wheel. Carroll
has a set Of 39l to his credit while
krauss, earlier in the season went up
to 319. eleven pins better than last
nights excellent set
Of the glittering array Of talent lined
up on both teams. Krauss is the only
bowler who can truly be sad to have
rolled In form. Had the other nine
stars been going as true to past per-
formance as was Krauss, there might
nave been some new records for team
game and set to be hung up today.
Fop HALEY experienced one of the
rockiest nights he has had recently,
as he ia usually good for three games
which creep into three figures each.

to amass one of those famous 14O-odd
scores which he contributes every now
and then. Earl Lewis assisted Erauss
in keeping up the reputation
OF the Palace five. and If the rules of
the game permitted the presence of two
anchor men. Lewis would certainly he
the other. Doc Lennon has dis
played far better form at times than
that attending last nights efforts. and
like HALEY, he is capable Of a higher
class OF duckpins than today's scores
indicate.
So we say. had Haley and Lennon
come in for a little better luck, there
might have been some broken bowling
today. AS il is, the Pal
the credit is not to be placed individu-
ally. but as whole upon the FIVE bowl
ers who followed the together we

what teamwork will do.
Also there is a story of praise to be
sung for the Y. NJ. G. A. team which
is an altogether defeated five today.

that second game. and displayed burst

In order to accommodate the onlook-
