| 81 cannot understand the objections
TO the Grand Central alleys" said
, President Stocking. The cutters
! are somewhat wider than those of
several of the other alleys. but the
! drives are of the standard width and
I their surface will be perfection itself
! when the big tourney opens. Our star
| bowlerS may not be- able to show at
their best on the Grand Central
! drives, but the class 3 and men
face the same conditions and what is
! fair for one is fair for another.
The Grand Central management
| will make provision to accommodates
all who want to see the contests and
! in this respect outclaSseS all other
! alleys. New blood is necessary to
keep the pin ga ne booming and the
| young people W Messing the enthu-
siasm at our big event may be among
! the maple SmaShers next fall.
Entry blanks will be sent out to-
/ morrow and many of the leagues will
! take part in a body and | will be
| greatly disappointed if the list is not
| larger than ever before"
A big majority of the wise men of
| the local bowling fraternity will be
sadly disappointed if the Terminal
| Ice team does not cop the District
League championship 1t has d two
game lead at the present time and
! from the way it has been going of
! late, there will be no stopping them.
| Rathsk eller bowlers, who won the
! title last year are good sportsmen.
| In discussing the slim chance they
have TO repeat they said it was good
| to win; they had been victors often
enough. Around the middle of the
. season and before Joe Toomey Joined
! the lCemen, the RathSkeller outfit
was the most feared of the organiza-
, tion. Then the Manhattans dashed
into the fray and it looked for time
as though they would surely cop, but
! they wavered in one match and it
probably will be fatal to their
! chances.
Standing of the four first teams fol-
lows: Terminal Ice, 81 and "a; Man
hattans, 40 and 26; Rathskellers, As
and 81; and King Pins, 46 and 90.
Richards of Manhattans leads the
! league in individual averages with
1853. Campbell of the Rathskellers
is second with 110-53. and AL Works
of the Terminals third, with 11O-7.
: Joe Toomeys bowling with the Ice
men borders on the marvellous, but he
has not rolled long enough to qualify
| In the individual averages. His fig
ures, 1922.
Interest among the bowIerx of the
| Washington Ladies' League continues
as strong as in the first week of the
season. Internal Revenue surprised
the Hilltoppers last week by taking
,the first two games, but could not
keep up the pace and the latter won
the third handily. Registry, with a
much improved team, through the
acquisition of Nellie Schuyler and
Gertrude Croft, made Billie's Team
step out to cop the odd game AS a
result of the past weeks bowling the
race among the leaders has frightened
| Hilltoppers are still anchored in first
place, while Mount Pleasant and Bill
lies Team are battling for second
place. Mount Pleasant has won one
more game than Billie's, but have lost
two more. These two teams meet
tomorrow night and a great battle
should result for second place.
! Two records went by the boards
last week, Bronson Quaites put the
skids under the high game mark
when she slammed the naples for a
count of 142, which is high game fol-
the season At the same time Miss
Quaites' fine bowling enabled her
team to pull out in front for high
team game, 515, which tops the for
mer season record by seven pins.
/ Some other good games were rolled
| during the past week, among then
being the following: Lottie Knott
1913; Ruth Biting. 121; Rose Frenzel
| 112; Lorraine Guild, 114sT Rena Levy
| ia and Ann Chandler, 119.
