Again the Georgetown Commercial
League Springs into the limelight,
this time by virtue Of the fact that
the Columbia Granite and Dredging
Company team has shattered two Of
its own records, high team set and
high team game. Spilling total Of
1,622 pins in it's three games against
Murtaugh Shops, the Dredgers bet
tered the team standard for high
set by nearly twenty-five pins and a
game Of 573 in the opening skirmish
gives the same club its other new
record today.
That 1922 set was accomplished
by means Of three Of the highest
consecutive games which the Dredg-
ers have ever rolled, this year or
last, the figures having been 573,
644, and sos. Only last night the
Potomacs, of the same league, dis
tinguished themselves by breaking
their own record for high team set

follow suit the very next night is a
record which gratifes every men,
