Whitford thinks so strongly of that
team--which we have very big notion
Is the Ingiesides-that he has addressed
a. letter to the bowling editor which deals
with the subject OF the three-cornered
| match proposed in this column week
| ago. Here is the communication from
Whitford:
Your article OF last Sunday suggesting
three-cornered match In teams. doubles
and singles between the members OF the
! Royal, Grand Central and Continental
duckpin teams. was read by me with a
I great deal OF interest. And II the purpose
. In to conflne this match to District League
i teams only | hereby accept the proposition
/ on behalf Of the Grand Central team.
But why leave out the Weston team,
which Is at present leading the District
| League. Of which the aforementioned
teams are members?
And why confine such a contest to
one league only? There is a team in the
National Capital League-modesty forbids
| my mentioning Its name-which is not
afraid of any team In town. II is not
composed of stars there is not krauss,
a Yaeth nor even a Chaplin on 1t. but
what 1t lacks in that respect IL adds In
| spirit. confidence and pep And in con-
sequence 1t has only lost six out of thirty
three games this season. has rolled the
biggest set OF the year, 1.122, and 1900
| sets are the rule. not the exception, with
this team.
! Now with all due respect to Charley
| Wright and his Continentals, and his
anchor man. the team to which / refer
| is much steadier combination and its
anchor man is always there when
called upon. In fact. there are several
anchor men on that team who would
| make things interesting for Mr..
! Wright's man,
But to return to the triangular
| match mentioned, it would be a fine
| thing for the game to pull it off: and
/ would suggest "A committee composed
D. ta .t.as.
! Krauss of the Royals. Mr.. Vaeth of the
Grand Centrals and Mr.. Wright Of the
| Continentais talso Mr.. Pratt of the
| Westons II that team is given the de-
| served opportunity to participate), to
! arrange all the details.
And. incidentally. ii might not be
an1iss to state here that consider Mr.
Naeth Of the Grand Centrals the best
| ton, and | think Vaeth and Wolsten-
| holme would hold their own with any
| tWo-man team in town.
| Besides the lnglesides there is another
| team which figures it has chance to
/ win against the three first mentioned
| by the writer. That is the Rafterys of
the Capital City League. A siX-sided
match with the Rafterys. Westons. Con-
Centrals would be quite match.
| Wonder what Charley Wright. Pop
HALEY, Johnny Faeth and others have
| to say about Roy Whitfords ideas?
Harry Stanford and Pop HALEY and
| Ray Chaplin and Johnny Baum and
others think about the belief that John
| ny Taeth and Wo1stenholme would hold
their own with any two-man team in
town?
