Players show Right Spirit.
A number of splendid races are
in progress in the several leagues
throughout the city. Since given
the opportunity local players are
beginning TO appreciate the value
and advantage to be gained by de-
voting some time to practice. which
is the correct way in which to ac-
complish something in the sport. so
many new players have undertaken
20 learn. This class of bowlers is
responsible for making many of the
league races what they are.
Some tight finishes are in prospect
In several leagues, and this in spite
OF the fact that the scheduled sea-
sons are fast drawing TO a close.
Going down the line in which the
several leagues are enumerated in
the classified league standings we
ind the Bills and Horns tied for
first place in the AntIers league,
with the other clubs rather badly
6istanced.
In the Bankers league the South

dated state as so few teams have
played anything near their number
of scheduled games. In the City
league the first four teams show but
two games difference between the
two pairs.
Show Classy Ten Pins.
Teams in the City league showed
some very classy bowling in their
contests the past week. the Hullie
& Mikes and Conservative Life In
surance Co. Ponies being prominent.
Both teams showed good four fig
IRE games during their contests. the
life insurance crew going TO 1929,
while the Ham Ands showed 1921.
Both teams also came within a few
pins OF spilling the local alley rec
