Potomac Electric Power Company
team won three straight from the
Merchants Transfer and Storage
Company quint. Thomas, anchor
man for the Pepcos, was the kingpin
Of the match when he figured in a
new league record for high set, 376
and equaled the league standard for
high game, 145.
The victory just barely pulled
Pepco from the second division into
the first section, and gives the Elec-
tricians the best chance they have
had this season to climb into the
charmed circle of topnotchers. With
a record Of Is games won and 20
lost, Pepcos displace General Bak-
ing Company for fifth place, and
Woodward & Lothrop must roll up
to form in order to hold onto fourth
place if the Pepcos keep up the pace
established last night.

upon next Tuesday night for the re-
turn engagement with the Center
Market team. The match will be

ton teams is expected to be present.

the Marketers, following the first
block Of five games which were roll

visions for the visitors next Tuesday.

There seems to be little likelihood of a
two-man match between Washington
and New York. but a five-man COM
petition would undoubtedly attract the
local champions. Since the advent Of
one Count Hoffman, Washington is
looking twice before taking any
Leaps.
OF the four teams which rolled in the
