BOWLING STOCK UP
ON SPORT MARKET
End Of Worlds Series Leaves
Little For Fans to Take UJ
But Alley Game. .

As sportdom turns It's back on another
worlds series. II finds but two fields Of
endeavor on which to fix Its attention.
For n few short weeks football will
entertain some OF those who have fol-
lowed the fortunes OF the ball teams
unrelentingly for six months. but for
the vast majority Of those who turn to
the sporting pages daily. bowling will
occupy the vortex Of interest. II has
statement applies to bowling Of the or
ganlzed or league variety. and to the
transient bowlers who are not Identified
with a team. but who make practice
Of rolling at the pins at least an hour
each dav.
For this latter class. weekly prizes
are being offered at most Of the alleys,
while the league bowlers have but ono
end In view. the close Of the sea-
son. when their rolling for the year
will be calculated and prizes awarded
according to the standing for the year
More than thirty circuits are now
operating nightly In Washington. and
this diminutive army Of pinncrs Will be
augmented within a month by half that
number again. In but one instance q
tenpin league has been formed. the
others being strictly duckpin orsani.a-
Ing off In popularity since the little
pins took such hold here two years
ago. and the Washington City Tenpin
League Is the only one to enlist this
season.
Glancing over the list. many leagues
new to our bowling colony are found.
Bowling has invaded Washington's fra
ternal organizations and today the ma
sons boast OF the biggest circuit In the
city and In the Eastern section OF the
United States. Eighteen teams are now
enlisted in the Masonic ranks and two
others are to be admitted as soon as a
schedule can be arranged which will
accommodate the extra teams.
The Red Men have already launched
their teams into long schedule. 1t
being the first appearance Of the In
dians' as a complete league. During
t9c very end OF last season several OF
the Tribes rolled practice games. but
the Red Men have never had league
before this year.
Probably no fraternal body has been
so active in Washington as the knights
OF Columbus and they are again found
to be out In full force. Besides the
Gus councils have their leagues and n
bigger and better season than ever be-
fore is being looked forward to by the
