"Thc ball players are a lot Of in

was full OF pepper Here they are do

Commission which has made II possible
tor them to get big salaries. Walter
johnson has been one of the biggest
beneilciaries, and should know better.
It's now thirty days since Johnson
and Alexander were In training. They'll
play on a rough field, probably In chilly
weather. rIskino their salary arms FOR
n few hundred dollars. wholly forgetful
OF their obligations to their own clubs.
What's n couple OF hundred dollars as
compared to IA seasons salary for either
Of them?
THE National Commission is opposed

IS DUCKP|N CAPTAIN
! YEARS IN A ROW
Whitford Has Led Ingeside
Bowlers Since Advent Of
National Capital League.
BY r. d. THOMAS.

Roy X. Whitford, of the Inglesldes,
probably Is the only bowler in WASH
lngton who can claim the distinction
Of having been captain OF the same
team for seven years in succession.
Elected leader OF the Y. NJ. c. 4. quint
when the National Capital League was
organized. he has held the position ever
since. During this time his team has
twice changed It's name. but the same
bowlers, with one or two exceptions,
always have been its members.
Outside Of the captaincy of his team.
whitford's name long has been promi-
nently connected otherwise with the
league. In its second season he was
chosen secretary, and has filled this
job since, having assumed also the
duties OF official scorer for nearly four
years. Whitfords work as scorer, or
more strictly speaking, compiler of
averages. has been especially COM
mendable.
When the compilation OF averages Is
mentioned the name of Horace Elmer.
secretary and official scorer OF the Dis
trict League, Is to be brought promi-
nently forward. For six seasons Elme T
has taken care of the figures for this
organization. and during that time has
received only one OF two kicks from
the bowlers, who. by the way, are very
particular about how their averages get
in the papers.
Harvey T. Rogers. leader of tho
Stansbury quint, in the Masonic League,
has secured Harry Krauss. Harry stan
ford, and Earl Lewis as members OF
his lodge. and having Harry HALEY al
ready on the team, stands more than
an even chance OF winning the cham
pionship. provided he chooses TO lie,
them roll together. But this Captain
Rogers does not intend TO do. Should
the Royal bowlers be pitted against the
teams of the Masonic League in body
there could hardly be more than one
result. A glance at their records suffices
to show that they would be. Not more
than two OF his stars will roll at Il
time IL Rogers plan.
Harry Stanford made his debut as q
member of the Stansbury team last
night and contributed 1858 pins toward
the defeat of Potomac. handicapped by
the absence of its regulars.
Three league records were smashed by
the Raftery quint in the Columbia
League last night, A. Works rolling q
high set OF 1884 and big game of l42
and the team achieving a set OF 1854
with games of So. 5OI, and 5lo the
Rafterys had litts trouble winning
three from Rosedale.
