to Compete With Tigers

: Captain Mueller's crack Tray
more quintet OF the Quaker City
Bowling League. Philadelphia,
which established a new Eastern
record a few weeks ago by topping
3217 pins IN a league match, has sc-
cepted a challenge 10 meet the Tiger
team. champions OF the first half OF
the local City League, at McKee's
Alleys. The match. for which spe-
cial arrangements are now being
made. will be rolled on Saturday
night.
The Traymore team is perhaps the
greatest aggregation OF timber top
piers ever 10 invade Wilmington. The
match in which they hit 3217. sur
passing all existing records in this
part OF the country, was rolled
against Pomona OF the Quaker City
League. In the first game Traymore
started off with a 1922 and in the
second lost a tie at $50 in the roll
off Their third game enabled them
TO hang up their phenomenal reco-
ord when they crashed the lumber
for 1905.
These figures may be hard TO be-
lleve for bowlers in this city but they
were authentically published in the
Philadelphia newspapers, accom-
panied by considerable comment.

The Traymore team has averaged
1000 pins per game in a number of
its matches and should prove a great
attraction TO the army OF Whining

Opposition in tho winter tourna-

has always been so negligible that

The dsshing Suzanne had been
taking things even more easily this
year. She has heart 90 look after

urge OF strong opposition sometimes
becomes bore for the tempera

Anyway. Suzanne was taken by
surprise recently when she was al
most defeated by the English star.
Mrs. Beamish and later her escape
from young Miss Dorothy Turner
Laing was just as close.
The tennis critics said that Suz-
anne wasn't on her game. but that
she was a wise little champion In

accommodate the crowd that would
be there to witness the game, the

should be played in the large hall
