| night in the Atlantic Coast Bowling As
ISOLATION tournament. which opened
with so much promise last night at the
old census building. This will be
Washington City Tenpin League
night" though four duckpin quints
also are to be in competition.
The Commissioners will roll on alley
| 5, Interior on alley 6. Agriculture on
alley I. Pioneers on alley s, Bureau on
alley 9, Acme on alley 10, Fletcher

on alley II. In the duckpin sets the
Capitol Hills will be on alley 1, Gov
eminent Printing Office on alley 2, r.
P. Andrews on alley 8 and the Wash
ington Base Ball Club on alley T. The
| rolling of the members of the Ma
| tionals on alley 4 will be of particular
| interest, not only because of the prom
inence of the players, but that several
| of them are exceptionally good bowlers
In connection with the rolling of the
team representing the Nationals, a
rather good story is told Of how its
new member, Jameson, came to get his
berth. While the club was at Char
lottesville it became known that jamie
son was quite a pin spiller, as one night
he toppled the naples in a manner
| which caused new marks to be set for
| that town. Jameson was wanted in
the lineup of the ball club team, but
it could not be decided who to drop to
make room for him. Finally. George
Mcbride determined that the best thing
! to do would be to write the names of
the five players on slips of paper. place
them in a hat and let the draw of a
I fl drn
Accordingly. this was done, and "Rippy"
| Williams name was on the slip Some
body. out Of curiosity, drew again, then
again. and after all the slips had been
examined 1t was found that Williams
name had been written on every one
And Williams has not yet convinced
himself as to who Matched the plot to-
make it a "cinch" against him. and
still is figuring on what his teammates
opinion of him as bowler is.
| Only one bowler from another city
will be on the boards tonight-John j.
| Donovan of Syracuse He is secretary
of the Atlantic Coast Bowling Associa-
| ton. and will pair with Ernest Dulin
IN the candlepin doubles. Incidentally,
| TINS viii be the first time that many of
the local followers of the sport have
seen candlepins rolled. And they will
not get many more chances to watch
that game. as the entries in the class
are very limited.
