Tho Royal duckpin quint last night
made its second visit to Chevy Chase
a picked team of the clubmen. How
ever. Chevy Chase made a remarkably
good showing, and particularly SO
when 1t is considered that team rep
resenting a closed organization was
playing against one made up of the
pick of the bowlers of the District.
The scores of the games: Chevy Chase.
52a, sos and 4SS: Royals, $40, SOS and
545.

Gus match between the two teams was
missing last night. The inability of

badly licked before that he did not
want to show up for the rest of his
