If some of the great military
strntesists want IA really difficult
problem they ought to try to devise
ways and means for making
seventeen spare.
And II the theory of the problem
were solved, the hardest part would
still remain-the execution.
of "them there things" that just
happens.
And when occasionally it does
happen to a fellow. TINT fellow can
not very well tell just how nor why.
Only two things i'm the whole world
appeal to us ms being harder than n
seventeen spare. One il mnkinE
million dollars writing for q news
paper and the other getting nm al
lied army to Berlin.
Might have made the above Diff
fercnt by cutting out the part re-
latins to an allied army and Ger
lin and saying "getting a German
army to Paris" hut had to take into
consideration the difference in mile
age.
The fellow given n certain period
u
or do either of the other two
things probably wouldn't have to
read ThanatOpsis more than twice
to figure n six-by-two home in
mother earth very welcome abode.
Which In enough about seven
ten spare.
In fact. the less most of us hear
of seventeen spares the better we
are pleased.
Unless the other fellow needs
twelve pins to win and has one OF
them to make.
Anyway, peace may he declared in
the National Capital League after
tomorrow night. But II Ingleside-
NatiOpal Capital match ends with
both teams tied for first place, Roy
Whitford and Arthur Urban will be
about ns tranquil of mind as the
former baggage smasher who thinks
he In the Prince of bombay.
Judging by what some people say.
the work of the classification COM
mittee in the annual duckpin tour
nnment IL Just about as easy ms
STRENGTHENING out the kinks In Eu-
ropes tangled politics.
Tomorrow night the National Capi
tails and Inglesides are to meet II
the match which may determine tn
championship of the National Capita
Duckpin League. The former ar
leading by just one full game. In or
their rivals the Inglesides will be com
PEELED to capture all three of the con
tests If Inglesides win two and los
one a tie will exist. Let the Nationa
Capitals make a sweep or win two ou
of three and they probably will get ;
sufficient lead to guarantee them TIL
title, unless they lose unexpectedly t
a weaker club. The match will b.
rolled at the Royal.
Tonight another important match i
listed, Grand Centrals and Westons be
ing booked to clash in the Distric
League.
While the Grand Centrals lead tn
District circuit by quite a margin. Their
still is a chance that the Westons will
win the championship, and in order t.
make the best of that chance they mus
get the long end of the scores in to
nights contests. Grand Centrals. 70
their part, hope to take at least two o
the three contests and thus sew vi
tight their right to the pennant. Th
two teams meet on the Grand Centra
alleys.
Rider and Krauss Roll Well.
Two of the best games rolled thi
