Masonic Bowling Association Grows.

The duckpin league of the Masonic
Bowling Association is said to be arous-
ing so much enthusiasm in the several
lodges that it has been necessary to in
crease the league to twenty teams. thus
providing places for two new entrants
These additional starters are representa-
tives from Acacia Lodge. directed by Ed
ward H. Maltby. and Anacostia Lodge,
directed by W. Ralph Williamson.
The president and secretary of the as
sociation, assisted by L. P Steuart chair
man of the schedule committee. are now
engaged on the somewhat difficult task
of readjusting the program. When that
work is completed new schedules will be
printed containing the revised list of play
ing dates.
The fact that the eighteen teams origI-
nally comprising the league are playing
their games in accordance with the
schedule, and that other lodges are de-
sirous of entering the lists. speaks well
for the success of this bowling organiza-
ton.
Mount Pleasant Lodge has selected
