Capital Primers Drop
Match byBut -Four Pins
This Difference Could Have Been Made Up Had
Similar Balls and Pins Been Used by Both Teams
in Washington and in Martinsburg.
By KIRK G.. MILLER,

MARTINSBtRG. W. Va. jan "a
For the second time within one year
Washington duckpin bowlers have
proven 10 themselves and to the fans
that the game must be made universal
az far as rolling paraphernalia is con-
cerned. the second and most recent ex-
ample having been cited in this noun
famous town of Martinsburg. when the
local Palace team defeated the Wash
ington Palace squad by the narrow
margin Of four pins. 1t was the sec
ond block of five games in series OF
ten the first five Of which were rolled
in Washington three weeks ago. The
West Virginians asserted their superb
GRITTY over the Capitolians here. rubber
banded duckpins and five-inch balls be-
aud one-quarter inch balls were adopted
by the Washingtonians at home. These
statistics are not given as excuses by
either team. but merely as An expla-
nation of why the Palace team can
"clean up" for them all in Washing
ton with wooden pins. and then so con-
sistentlv meet defeat when out-of-town
clubs are encountered with their varia-
ton of duckpins as they are rolled
In the Capital City.
Coming to Martinsburg with AN ad-
vantage of eighty-two pins. Captain
Lewis and hi. band of Palace pinners
rolled remarkably consistent duckpins
considering the fact that they had to
accustom themselves to slower ball
than was their wont to roll at the solid
wooden balls. The narrow margin of
defeat represents as near as figures
can, the difference in breaks which
the competing clubs encountered and
the Martinsburg bowlers them elves
lauded the Washingtonians for the
quick manner in which they adapted
themselves to the slower ball. which is
SO effective when the rubber-banded
pins are used.
The speedy shoots of Carroll. Lewis.
HALEY. Lennon. krauss, and Murphy
invariably plowed their way through
the flock of NAPLES. and 1t was not
until the last game that they seemed
to "slow up the balls sufficiently to
make II turn properly to sweep up the
pins. 1t Is this style of ball which
Martinsburg used to gain its insidions
inroads in the first four games OF the
Ma r:insburg block. and had Lewis
and his men caught on one game ear
lier. IL Is certain that Washington
would have won the series.
Washington demonstrated a rare dis
play of pure grit in the last game When
il put Is pins between itself and Mar
tinsburg. This was the banner game
from Washington standpoint. as II
covered up an awful gap which had
been created in the first four games.

DUCKS KEEP DOWN MOSQUITO
Pennsylvania Physician Has Found a
New Enemy Of the Pest-Re-
suit of Tests.

The duck is one of the greatest
known enemies of the mosquito, and
thus of yellow fever and malaria. In
the Journal of the American Medical
Association, DIR. Samuel G. Dixon, the
Pennsylvania commissioner of health,
describes experiments Of his that sub
stantiate the fact. After he had made
various unsuccessful attempts to de-
stroy the larvae by means of fish, he
divided the stream in which he was
making his experiments into two
parts, each about fourteen hundred
square feet in area. One he protected
from the birds and stocked with gold
fish; the other pond was left as
feeding ground for ducks. Both were
ideal places for mosquitoes to breed.
In the protected pond the mosquitoes
fourished, in the unprotected they
were entirely absent. Then he put
ten well-fed mallard ducks into the
protected pond. Although at first they
fed upon the tadpoles. they rid the
pond of pupal within twenay-four
hours: and in forty-eight hours they
had left only few small larvae. The
author says that numbers of larvae
must have been drowned, owing to the
commotion the birds raised in the wa
ter. For some years." says Doctor
Dixon, Il have been using ducks to
keep down mosquitoes in swamps
that would have been difficult and ex-
pensive to drain, but l never fully
appreciated the high efficiency of the
duck as destroyer of mosquito life
until the foregoing test was made"
