Against Y. N. c. A. Club.

426 Pins in Three Conseou.
tive Games with Eagles.
BY KIRK c. MILLER.

Encouraged by the brilliant show
ing which the Home Club duckpin
team made against the crack Y. M.
C. A. aggregation Saturday night,
Manager Weston has about decided
to book his team for the Atlantic
Coast Bowling Association tourna-
ment, which takes place in Boston
next May. Defeating Captain
Meany's lads by forty-one pins in
set Of three games gives. Weston suf-
ficient cause to believe his Ave would
rank with the best in the East
should it go to Boston, and there is
every likelihood that this youthful
organization will be one of WASH
ington's strongest representatives
when the bowling classic is staged
in the Hub City.
A peculiar fact about Home Clubs
defeat Of Y. M. C. A. is that tho
margin of victory was established in
the first game, the second and third
rounds resulting in ties of 534 and
529 respectively. While Meany had
but three of his regulars in his line
up, the two substitutes are thought
to have rolled games which would
have compared we'll with those that
would have been rolled by the regu-
lars, had they been on hand.
: On the roster Of the Home Club are
Pratt, Potter. Mikesell, Ferguson. and
Weston. Most Of this number are men,
bers of various leagues doing business
in Washington. and they represent an
all-star aggregation which would be
hard to better in any one Government
department Of Washington.
