Ing was hung up by the Cyclones of
the Arcade League, the pins being
smashed for a mark of 1853, the best
team score recorded to date. Field
Ing leading his companions with nice
rounds of 100, 1873 and 102, totaling
335. The Triangles swept into second
place with 1,54l. and Pepco was third
with 1,525. c. Noack of Pepco turned

Us. lis and 124 drawing a big crowd
TO the alleys on which his team was
bowling. His total of 367 will be
something of mark for all the asso-
citation members to shoot at. Noack
had SO many marks in each game that
his teammates and spectators were
kept cheering almost continuously
while he was at work.
No hats were won last night for
double-headers. but two were cap
tured the opening night. instead of
one, as generally reported.
Manager Clancy of the Corinthians
was pulling his hair over the erratic
work of his men, every one of whom
was bowling away below his aver
age. This same bunch, known as the
SolonialS, finished second in the Dis
trict League and were leaders for sew
eral weeks. Manager Coleman. who
looks after the Colonials, also was
there. He sympathized with poor
Clancy.
All the players with poor scores
were continually complaining of the
dead pins which gave out sounds
when hit that made one think they
We're made of cork instead of wood.
All bowlers like to hear the pins
crack as it makes them think they
have something back of the balls
AcGolrick, the anchor man of the
Corinthians, kept knocking the naples
high in the air and on to the other
alleys. but there was little sound.
Mac loves to hear 'em bark.
The Cyclones. third in their league,
cut wide swath. Their first game
was of the ordinary sort, but they
found themselves in the second and
third, turning in nice totals. Fielding
did the best work for the team. hang
ing up a total of 1876. Wiltberger and
Jett were off their game, but each
managed to get over the century
mark in one of their rounds.
On the opening night the foul line
Judge, Billings. seated UP in the gal
night he had an easy time of it. His
work is hardly appreciated by the
bowlers. He can sympathize with the
lot of a base ball umpires.
Glass "B" pinmen are setting a
hot pace for the class IA crowd in
and singieds leaders have pulled off
firSt-class work, Noack's bowling for
Pepco of 367 being something of an
eye-opener, although not being regis
tered in the singles. Charley will be
tickled to death if he can repeat last
nights toppling in the individuals.
Jim Baker, who organized the
Washington Ladies' League and is its
official scorer, was around shaking
hands with everybody and predicting
great things for the coming tourna-
ment of the fair sex.
w. II. Briscoe, a member of the
executive board of the association,
was the high h-mucky-muck" last
night. having charge of the evenings
sport, and he had things working
with clocklike regularity. He had
10 do considerable hustling to get
scorers to serve, but an adequate
number were in line when the bell
tapped for action.
Roy Bladen started off nicely with
10 in his first game. but drifted back
into the 90s for his other two rounds
and Manager Coleman heartlessly re-
marked that Roy needed a haircut
Shorty Smith of the same team plug
Eed 121 in his initial round and then
fivvered out for the other two.
When right. SmItty classes up with
the best in the city.
