MRS. VOGELSDERGER
HITTING Pins WELL
Champion Woman Bowler Gets
Record Score Of 125-Game
Growing Among Fair Sex.

Mrs. Eva Vogeisberger, Washington
premier woman bowler. has been hit
ting the duckpins this season In a
manner that would put to shame a
great many mere men. Among her
latest performances are a LIS game at
the Grand Central. which Is the biggest
ever rolled by n member of the fair
sex In this city. and a III game at the
Arcade. which ranks among the best Of
the season. The nearest approach to
Mrs. vogelsbergers LIS 10 a mark Of
IN, made by Mrs. Bouton. at the Ar
cade.
Bowling among women Is steadily be-
coming more popular. Where a year or
two ago the sight Of a woman rolling
duckpins was rarity. now they take
to the alleys In such numbers that sew
eral establishments have made special
accommodations for them. ingram Me-
mortal Church. which long has boosted
crack women bowlers. Is q stanch sup
porter Of the game. and It's present
woman auint. led by Miss BILLY" Will
liams. is one Of the strongest In the
city.
Charley Lennon. one OF the Capt.
tails most distinguished duckpin roll
ers. has all but given up the game.
Lennon was one Of the number who
lost interest in bowling last season be-
cause of the A. c. B. A. pins and balls.
and thus far has not regained en-
thusiasm over the game. Lennon rolls
now and then, but his absence from
the lineup Of the Royals. with whom
he has taken part In many exciting
battles, Is noticeable, Lennon as
sisted the old Palace quint to make its
1,7b3 record two seasons ago, and In
the first tournament of the Atlantic
Coast Bowling Association. at Boston,
he and Harry Krauss were tied for
first place in the duckpin doubles for
hrst prize.
After the sensational rolling Of the
Royals Monday the future performances
bled interest. Only a few teams in the
city are capable OF obtaining totals Of
more than LOO, and the Royals are
looked upon as the only one OF these
with any likelihood Of lettering the
the Grand Centrals. The Royals next
get into action with the Westons in a
District League match on the National
Capital alleys. Plenty Of interest at
taches to this contest. The Westons
ing to warrant them giving the Royals
q worthy battle.
Some exceptionally good scores have
been rolled at the Royal lately. Prin-
cipal among these are Halley's 1858. In
which he made nine marks; Howser's
167, with seven marks. and Kings leo.
