again on even terms with the Antlers-
The Antlers and the Orphans have
had things all 10 themselves all sea-
son, except a couple OF weeks when
the Fawns threatened. But now the
Bucktails seem 10 be coming strong
and It is possible for the latter to
still give the leaders battle before
the schedule is concluded.
In the Elks league the Hoofs still
have an advantage OF one game over
the Tylers. However the latter have
been threatening all season and the
meeting Of the two teams this week
should prove eventful. In the Antlers
league the Horns still maintain their
comfortable lead Of three games. But
the Bills are again showing signs OF
life and it is possible for the big Ger
man team TO make disturbance.
New City League Leaders.
New leaders were developed in the
City league during the week were
the Hullie and Mixes and Knights
OF Columbus have alternated for the
possession Of the top rung all season.
BY a wonderful burst OF speed the
Conservative Life Insurance Co. Pom
les COPIED three games from the
Knights of Columbus. AS a result the
Conservative Ponies have a one game
lead The next in line being a three
team tie affair in which the Bardeen
United. Hullie and Mixes and Knights
Of Columbus are the interested par
ties.
New leaders were also declared in
the Bankers league where the First
National had holding sway all season.
Now the Citizens National and Trust
have come 10 the fore while the for
mer leaders have been tied up with
the Morris Plan team for second hon
ors. There is also terrific struggle to
get out of the cellar the Merch-
ants National, Union Trust Chaplin
and St. Joe Savings are tied for the
rear guard division.
Much of the kick has been taken
from the Singer league race owing to
the big lead the Costs have establish
ed. In the Printers league the Trib-
unes still have that one game advan-
tage over the Hibberditit. But the
News-Times and South Bend Engrav-
ing Co. teams each lost a lap. the lat
ter two now being tied for third
place.
Unique Performances.
Some rather unique performances
were recorded at the Orpheum alleys
curing the past week in that a partic-
ular alley record was established and
match game that finished 252
Wilmer and Louis Barth. both mem
bers Of the Conservative Life Insur-
ance Co. Ponies rolled a game alter
mating frames just before the regu-
lar City league games began. which
resulted in the two boys killing off
2S9, the 18th strike leaving up the
No. pin.
The big match between Spike Con-
promptu actor and Fat" Richards,
ex-State champion. The former hung
nell the we'll known Orphehm i'm
up the best mark of his career turn
ing a remarkable 252 but the champ
came through with 256. 1t is needless
to add it required a long time to dis
pose of the post norton.
Garlic MOhn of the Orpheum Pom
les hung up the high mark for the
week for the fine mark of 264 Some
pin topping and would look good in
league play and sure his team needs
'em.

ward the bowling game this season.

leagues of the fair sex, 20 ladies, COM
