often do in baseball, before the race
is even started, you fans can make a
notation in the bands of your hats
that certain little duckpin flag is
pretty well sewed up by that grand
little array of bowlers who term
themselves The Palace. To most of
you there has probably been very lit
tie doubt in your minds for the past
month as to which team had the best
chance to win the bunting in the Ma
tional Capital League, but Palace
jumped beyond the bounds of chance
last hight and practically assured
themselves the highest honors in the
circuit mentioned.

those Palace lads asserted their su-
periority last night, and now that the
Y. M. c. A. team is disposed of for
the next to the last time this season,
the sailing ahead looks pretty fair
for Captain Lewis crew-even
though a squall in the way of an oc-
casional defeat at the hands of such
likely teams as Velvet Kind and Ma
tlonals, should be encountered. Yes,
1t is q fact that the Palace team can
almost drift into the harbor of VIC
tory as all of the high seas have
been successfully crossed and there
seems to be rather unmolested and
deep channel ahead through which it
can now travel.

largest throngs which has filled the
Palace Alleys except during city tourna-

Y's score in the second was 508 and it
was in the third that they seemed to
game their total fell to 47s. Earl Eiksr,
Jollifre, and John r. Meany held up the
majority of the weight for the as
sociation team, -Jolliffe's game of l3C
in the first round being particularly
commendable.
Those Brunswicks are highly elated
today over a . to ! defeat handed the
lowly Climbers. In the second National
Capital League set Captain Fletcher
had his men in good trim for the set
with the tail-enders, and after losing
the opening string by 633 to 479. the
Brunswicks found their form: They
won the lecond by margin Of "A pins
and the third by 25 pins.
New records for high team set and
game were today posted in the books
Of the Fourteenth Street League as a
