Masonic Teams Roll Tonight
Occupy All Alleys In District Duckpin Cham
pionships-Ed Crowley Takes Singles
Lead With 3S5 Set.

Members OF the Masonic Duckpin
League and their rOoters will flock
to the Grand Central alleys tonight,
when that fraternal organization 5
representation will compete in the
District Associations championships.
1t lis Masonic night of the tourna-
ment. Only Masonic teams will take
the alleys, and a number of singles
and doubles will be rolled.
With the exception of Stansbury's =
two quints. all of the combinations
will compete in Glass B. The Stans-
burians are listed in Glass \.
1t is a safe bet that the team rec
ords in the two classes will be
broken. The Navy No. team leads
Glass 4 with a mark of 1917, and
Agriculture tops Glass b with 1915.
Several of the Masonic teams are
capable of 100 sets. and undoubted-
ly some excellent rolling will be seen
tonight.
Crowley Rolls Big Set.
Ed Crowley, veteran of many years,
was last nights star. Crowley hung
up a formidable mark in the Class A
singles, with 3S5. A mediocre start
probably prevented him from get
ting over the 400 period. His games
were 100. I44, and 141. He gave a
fine exhibition in the last two games,
which is not shown completely by
the scores.
Crowley rolled in a manner that

Leopold Hoernschmeycr didn't play
yesterday. In his place was Timothy
HendryX, who did about as much as
Leopold had been doing for three days
previous.
Leopold used to manage the Brook

$50, and running a close second to
Benny Kauff.
In the American League Leopold
had made no large bubbles. Indeed
he has drowned without coming up
for the well-known three times.

Leopold. who has changed his name
