by Majority Of Teams Which
" Roll Tuesday Night.

Season In Commercial.
BY KIRK C. MILLER.

With but few exceptions, that old
familiar "rule Of three" worked with
rare success in the leagues Tuesday
night and no less than eight teams
today post up their books with a
trio Of victories for the winning
column, while the losers in as many
cases lost their sets outright. To
the superstitious bowlers, last night
was a charmed one, as the majority
Of teams which got off to lucky
starts, and went right through the
evening spilling the pins helter-
skelter.
Probably the most fragrant case
Of the above occurred in the National
Capital League where the Climbers
were caught for all three and the
Palace team pulled three games
farther away from fighting Y. M.
c. A. team. Although Skinny Car
roll was absent from the lineup of
the Palace, Harry Stanford re-
sponded nicely to the call and with
games very near to the century
mark, aided Doctor Lennon, Harry
HALEY, Earl Lewis and Harry
Krauss in putting across a victory.
Climbers threatened to jump the
traces In the second round, and pulled
up within just two pins Of Palace, the
score being 5O7 to eos. c. H. Pierce and
Lennon both had games of 123 for high
marks for their respective teams and
Lennon added to his laurels by coming
through with high set of S27. Chew
Chase and the Patent Office can, there
fore. be justly proud Of Lennon. who
takes credit for carrying his team
last night-and We admit it Is due 1t.
