WITH THE BOWLERS
BY r. N. JAKE" RoWsEY.

Now that tne Christmas season 10
over the attention Of the local bowling
world again turns to the spirited tight
that Is being made for first and sec
ond place in the Richmond Tenpin
League. With only four more series
to be rolled, a tie for first honors ex-
ists between the jewelers. and Times
Dispatch boys. while the Bromm Bak-
ing Company and the Superiors are
deadlocked over second position II
II q unique situation. one that will
have the effect OF making every
ieagu, bowler shoot his best game
from now on. And while talking along
this line I might mention that IL the
Palace team woke up the favor would
be appreciated by Your Uncle Jake.
While no league games were rolled
during the Christmas holidays, new
league. known as the C,esa peake and
Potomac Telephone League, was
organized. and the first series were
rolled last week on the Palace alleys.
The league Is composed OF eight Ave-
men teams, and the league games
are rolled on Tuesday and Thursday
Of each week The league will run
one month longer. at the conclusion
OF which an elimination tournament
Will be staged for the purpose OF pick
ing tsne best FIVE or six bowlers for an
ali-star telephone team
Most OF the bowlers In this new
league are newcomers at the game
and therefore great interest Is being
shown In the pop lar indoor sport.
From present Indications there will
be no difficulty experienced In sending
several ive-men teams from the tele-
phone League to tho Baltimore
tournament In March.
