according to the original agreement, but
an important tournament which Is now
pclnE conducted in Baltimore has filled
me schedules OF the members OF tho
maryland team. and it has been agreed
that some night next week will be
liked within a very few days.
No little interest has been revealed
fy the duckpin fans of Washington in
me Gandil-Feath set. and many in
"uirles have been made as to when the
rol:-off would take place. As the games
ended here during the holidays, the
Gandils have an advantage Of los pins,
and there is much discussion among
the followers of the match as to
whether or not this margin is suff-
cient to insure a victory for the Capt. al
Quint.
Certain it is that the Gandls will
have to exert themselves to the full
when they go to Baltimore. as Veath's s
tQam Is known far and wide as one of
the best duckpin outfits In this section
and it should show at its best on the
