With the Rathskellers' league

laurels Of Washington. for no other
duckpin organization in town. and
some say in the country, approaches
the District League in the matter of
generally high-class performers.
The pennant chase from start to
finish was hot one, and 30 was the
long battle for individual honors. Al
Works, left-handed star Of the Tenn
pies. of northeast. finally triumphed
over Harry Krauss, the Royal an
chor man OF national fame. for the
individual championship. Works
average was ITO 1857 against
10 28-78 for the veteran Krauss.
Inaugurating a move that prob
ably will be followed by nearly all
bowling leagues eventually, the Dis
trict League has elected it's officers
in the spring instead of in the fall
as has ever been tho custom. The
early election will enable the bowlers
to get a flying start next season
when the District League. 1t Is ex.
pected, will be made even stronger
than in the season just closed.
The league reelected all Of its Of.
ficers in appreciation Of their sue
cessful efforts. Henry TAFT Rodier
IL the president; Ray Chaplin, vice
president; Arthur Urban, secretary;
Harry F. Krauss, treasurer, and
Horace B. Elmer, official scorer.
One OF the bowling organizations
to fall in line with the District
League in electing officers this
spring will be the city association,
which will start its chamronshp
tournament at the Grand Central
Monday night with record number
Of entries. About 140 teams VIII COM

The name of Cobb in the near

Ty Cobb, jr., son of the great
and only Tyrus, plans to enter
Princeton. He aspires to shine
as a pitcher.
This will be good news to the
Tiger athletic authorities, as a
Cobb in baseball means some
thing. His ambition to so shine
is not surprising. since Ty, Sr.,
always worked out at pitching
in practice and says he should
have tried twirling instead of

We arrived early, having a need
Of some Of Harry Stevens famous
hot dogs and at least one cup Of
coffee. In the old days one might
grab off something better than cof.
fee but now coffee is the best they
have at the Polo Grounds, or any
where else for that matter. Maybe
that's why we lost our feet. 1t was
opening day here.
Mayor Hylan, who can doff his
shiny lid with either hand, was right
there with the goods. He did his
stuff until Nick Altrock got all ap-
ceased quite sudden-like.
They marched to the centerfield
bleachers. packed solid with empti-
ness. The band played the National
Anthem. aThey raised a five-cent
national flag on top Of a $4,000
championship banner. We stood up,
proving once again we owned a pair
Of dogs. Then they marched back
again and the battle was on.
Bill Kimball, who once used to
surprise the folks up on Eighteenth
street in the vicinity OF KalOrama
road with his sartOrial splendOr,
came to our shoulder and mitted
MS. He wanted to know how all
the boys were back in Washington,
especially Sam Wood and Avery
Marks and Spike Collins and
one Mcintyre, surname Marvin,
who quit the business to work for
the Government.
How was the opening game back
home" asked Bill. "Well show
something here in a minute"
II that cheap parade Of couple
of ball clubs behind Mayor Hylan be
fore some 1000 frozen fans com
peres at all with the opening days
ceremonies in Washington, where
President Harding honored the game
by his presence and Ban Johnson
was proud to march to the Flagstaff
in centerfield, then we are done for
all time with indicting descriptions
Of baseball openings for you fans.
In Washington a real band played
the national anthem as a real flag
ascended the staff, and that flag
swung and swayed in the soft breeze
till the last man expired in the ninth
inning.
Here a flag the size of a handker-
chief ascended the staff atop Of a
huge red, white. and blue pennant,
and it remained there less than five
minutes. That's what the American
League Champions did at the Polo
Grounds yesterday.
Well, believe it or not, the next
time we looked up. that pennant, sur
mounted by that wee American flag,
had disappeared. We asked couple
Of cops in the pest box about it.
They didn't know. We asked three
actors. two BARRIERS. a chauffeur, a
boss bootblack, a dealer in ladies'
woolens, in the pest box. They
didn't know. They hadn't seen it
disappear.
We asked a couple of baseball
writer's. They knew nothing about
II. We asked Bill Kimball. He
didn't know, which is a confession
worth while. Not even AL Munro
Elias knew where that pennant had
gone, and Al is known as a figger
fiend.
About that time Mogridge was
getting his medicine. With two out
and couple of guys on the has
socks, Wally Pipp busted one over

Jones took a walk and followed
Schang home when Elmer Miller

three. fans out there slightly, but not
much.
Fewster came through with a dou-
BILE to left and Baker walked. Nc
MILAN walloped a clean single to left,
scoring Fewster and bringing Mr..
Harry Courtney to the Hill. Pipp
rolled to Harris. who carefully threw
the ball at Mayor Hylan, who was
perched in a field box behind Joe
Judge on a line with second base.
In came Baker and Mcmillan. About
that time we noticed that we had
lost our feet.
No matter what the official
weather report may say the tenn.

cold enough to take our feet away.
That may be, say 20 degrees or Is
degrees or something around there.
In the pest box Mt the Polo Grounds
1t was cold enough to remove our
feet entirely.
Just why they played ball is a
mystery. 1t couldn't have been TO
give Mayor Hylan a chance to do
his stuff. 1t couldn't have been to
satisfy that small crowd. 1t must
have been to win a ball game, for
It never could have been merely to
afford an opportunity to raise
pennant for five minutes or so.
Well, the Yankees succeeded in
winning their ball game, 10 to 8.

JOINT BID OFFERING PREMIUM

BY MANAGERS
STATES FINANCES IMPROVE
Sale Attended BY Representatives or
Almost Every Principal Bond
Buying House In The Unit
ed States.

Baton Rouge, La.-Much interest
was shown Thursday, when the
board of managers Of the Louisiana
state penitentiary opened bids for the
$1,000,000 forty-year per cent bond
issue. A joint bid from Stacy and
Braun of Chicago. E. H. Rollins Of
Chicago and the Bankers Trust Com
pany Of New York, by Russell F. Hall,
agent, Offering a premium Of $33, 100
with accrued interest from date of
issue, was accepted.
The next most attractive bid and
one which proves the demand for
such bonds, was one from w. r.
Compton and Company, bond brokers
OF New York, Chicago and New Or
leans, who bid par on the issue to be
foated at A "a. While this meant
q saving Of $4,000 at the end of
forty years, 1t really offered no prem
ium. The bid which was accepted
offered a premium of about $4,000
which made it more profitable by
about $4,000. Compton and Com
pany desired to name the depository
while the firms to ,'hich the bonds
were awarded permit the state to
dsignate the depository.
There were nearly a dozen bids re-
ceived, all Offering handsome prem
iums. The bids were opened by
Henry L. Fuqua, general manager Of
the state penitentiary, in the pres
snce OF a large number OF bankers
and bond brokers.
Governor Parker, State Auditor
Capdeville. Secretary Of State James
J. Bailey, and State Supervisor Of
Public Accounts, w. N. Mcfarland,
were present.
Probably the most significant in

Mr.. Newman, although an unsuc-
cessfal bidder, asserted it was most
gratifying to see the bonds sell at
10S.31, which he regarded as a most
satisfactory price. Mr. Newman ex-
pressed himself as highly optimistic
on all state and city issues. and said
the state and subdivisions are only
beginning to feel the benefits accru-

The sale, said Mr.. Newman, was at
tended by representatives of almost
every principal bond buying house in
the United States and the competi-
tion was very spirited.
The effect Of the sale at the price
produced, said Mr. Newman, should
reflect itself In all issues of state and
municipal securities and do much ito
attract buyers for future sales in this
section.
