CHACONAS ROLLS
Big DUCKPTN SET
GandilS' Bowler Equals Sea-
sons Record of 423 in Ar
cade League Match.
TEAM GETS 1,758 TOTAL
Create New Mark for Circuit,
With Games of 597,
500, and 6o1.
TEAM GETS 1,75s TOTAL

Nick Chaconas, of the Gandil team,
IN the Arcade League, tied the sea-
Bon's record for a duckpin set last
night, when he bumped the pins for a
<23 total against the New York Life
Insurance quint.
Major Robb, of the st. Johns team,
IN the Masonic League, also boasts a
mark of 423. made a month ago on
the night following that on which
Harry Krauss, of the District League
Royals, rolled 400.
Bowlers are divided in opinion as to
whether the 423 mark is a record for
, the District for all time. Charley
Wright knocked down 42S pins with
the Gandil team during the season
before last, using the 81 inch ball
against the Baltimore duckpin, but
because of the big sphere many
are prejudiced against the perform
Rnce.
Doubt Az To Merits.
With the new A. c. B. A game in
operation, scores have become gener-
ally higher than those prevailing
with the 5A inch ball. This raises a
question as to the relative merits OF
the two sets-42S and 423.
.Chaconas' team rolled the largest
set total in the history of the Arcade
League, toppling 1,T5s naples. This
ranks among the best of the season.
The teams scores were 59I, $50 and
COL, Nick having strings of 143, 135
and 145 He is leader of the league in
average, and is considered one OF the
finest bowiers in the city. Chaconas
also is a member of the Grand Cen
trail team in the District and National
Capital Leagues, and the Solomon
Qufnt in the Masonic.
TenpInners Do Well.
With interest at height in the
Washington City Tenpin League be-
cause of the close pennant race, the
big pin rollers are keeping in fine
fettle for the matches with a telling
effect on scores. Games of more than
1000 are becoming frequent occur
rences.-s Acme rolled 1,001 against the
Commissioners last night, and fol-
lowed it with 926 and 926, winning all
games easily, despite the Commission
ers' handicap of fifty-nine pins. Bur
dine was the best performer.

GOLF CLUB PROPERTY
WILL Be WORTH
OVER $4,000
Enthusiastic Meeting Held
At New Club House
Tuesday Night.

Last week we said that "Mariet-
ia was a happy town" over the
opening of the new clubhouse of the
Marietta Golf Club, and now, a
week later We are at loss to ex-
press the feeling of the gentlemen
members of the Club over an event
of Tuesday night.
1t was a stag dinner and the Of
ficers made a report of the progress
made by the club since its organiza-
ton. And that report was such as
to cause every member to feel like
hugging himself and also the Off
GERS and directors of the club The
amount already invested in the
club exceeded thirteen thousand dol
lars where it was originally plann-
ed to spend a mere thirty five hun
dred. But even that large amount
had been found to be short slightly
over two thousand dollars of what
the club desired. So then and there
began a discussion as to how to
raise this amount with which to
complete the club grounds, build
the golf links to kings taste, make
a seven acre lake, and tennis courts
and put everything in jam up shape.
The arguments and questions con-
tinued for few minutes and then
Mr.. l.. B. Robson up and offered
to contribute whole hundred dol
lars provided the club would raise

The president had been keeping
the matter secret as he did not wish
