Secretary McKnew Soon to
Have Full instructions From
General Secretary Donovan.
GEORGETOWN RECESS OVER
Potomac Alleys Will Again Hold
Nightly Games, as Postpon-
ed Sets Are Up to Date.
= BY KIRK C, MILLER.

During the present week every
bowler in Washington will be able to
understand more thoroughly the
enormous benefit which Washing
toms affiliation with the Atlantic
Coast Bowling Association will reap
for the participants of the game, as
Secretary Eddie McKnew has asked
General Secretary John J. Donovan,
Of Boston, for complete literature
on the objects of the organization
and this matter will be posted in
every bowling alley in the city, for
the inspection of the bowlers them
selves.
In order to make Washington one
Of the livest members of the A. c..
B. A. 'McKnew has turned willing
hand to ascertain all of the informa-
tion regarding this new movement
to standardize bowling-and this
will all prove valuable working mat
ter when we commence to. make a
fight to hold one of those big tourna-
ments in the National Capital.
A fact that has been generally over
looked in connection with this city's
franchise in the A. c. Il. A. lies in the
assurance to every bowler that wher-
ever he travels in the jurisdiction of
the association he will find the very
same style of bowling that he rolls in
Washington. Also the uniformity
Svhi ha
about will benefit the alley owners ard
the manufacturers of bowling apparatus
as much as the bowlers. as but one type
OF ball and pin for each game will be
necessary. This potent factor will sim
plify the matter Of manufacture and the
amount Of stock necessary to be kent on
hand at each alley.
AS soon as Secretary McHnew re-
ceives the information and directions re-
sarding the perfection of the local or
sanization. the same will be made pub
lie and Immediately the team captains,
through the presidents of the leagues,
will begin the movement to give WASH
ingt6h one OF the biggest memberships
in the Atlantic Coast Bowling Associa-
ton.
After a lapse Of one week in tho
SCneOule OIL tne CeOrSetOWn commercial
League for the rolling of all postponed
games. the regular schedule will again
be taken up tonight. Tonight marks the
beginning of the sixteenth week in the
schedule. and as the dates run only
until March 10, the teams are beginning
TO line up In something of the order
in which they will be expected to finish.
Arlingtons have been taking a promi-
nent place in the Georgetown CONNER
cial League race for more than six
weeks now, and unless the margin OF
leadership IS cut down considerably
within the present month. the best the
Freemans can hope for is a runner-up
position. Murtaughs are going alonS
at a steady gait and should. by consis-
tent rolling. cinch third place The
Times team has pulled itself up from
the rear in Commendable form and
seems to be doomed to first division
berth.
While Joe Hurney has not done as
much as he expected with the Baltimore
and Ohio team. he has taken that uuint
out of hopeless position. Bad breaks
on several occasions have handicapped
Hurney's outfit, but there Is six weeks
Of the schedule still before him. and any
showing at all should insure fifth place
for tho Railroaders.
All Washington is inquiring what has
become of the Gandil- Pittsburgh match
which was announced two weeks ago
February I was the date set for the 10.
cal team to entertain the Smoky City
crew, but nothing has been heard OF the
proposed match since the very first an
