TWO.TEAM RULE IS.
ADOPTED BY LEAGUE
Northeast Organization Seeks
to Prevent Forfeits-Plan
Big Intercity Match.

In order to forestall difficulties that
arose last season, the Northeast Duck
pin League has adopted the two-tesm
rule. which permits members Of the or
ganization to roll in only one other
league.
Last season so many forsook the
Northeast teams to roll with others that
the league was nearly wrecked because
Of forfeits. A meeting was held prior
to the opening Of this season and the
two-team measure put into force on the
suggestion OF President George ID. Clum.
Thus far the result has been that most
sought. Not a forfeit has occurred.
The Columbia League had the two
man rule in operation for time. but
1t caused dissatisfaction and was done
away with.
Plans are being made by Washington
and Baltimore bowlers to stage a cham
piohship ,intercity match. near the close
OF the season. Teams picked from the
cities best pinspillers will represent
them. Johnny Waeth, erstwhile Monu-
mental City bowler. but now manager
OF the Grand Central alleys here. Is be-
hind the local end OF II. and probably
will be responsible for the Washington
quint. Baltimore Is likely to choose the
winning team of the Interalley League
or select the most capable bowlers from
this organization. II Is we'll to note
that Vaeth Is doing much to bring about
more rivalry between Washington and
Baltimore. The little crack already has
manipulated one intercity match. a two
ball affair. in which the local team
was triumphant.
A lack of pinboys has lost a lot OF
business for some of the alley owners
