Individual championship bowling
= becoming popular throughout the
bowling world and should the pro-
posed match between Miss Gull
and Miss Mecouch arouse enough
interest. It Is likely that other cities
VIII be drawn into competition.
Baltimore, for instance. has Miss
Madeline Zorbacia to place in the
deld against individual stars.
Miss Zorbach has been beaten by
Washington girls, but not recently.
Undoubtedly she has improved
greatly In the last year and ought
% be strong enough TO offer some
1tal's stars.
Boys Of the Powell graded
school who thought they had the
first boys dtnckpin league organ
fzed IN Washington, the Kingpin
Juniors League, apparently are
al wrong.
Troop 40 Of the Boy Scouts has
had a league for two years. Thomas
o., King, scoutmaster of the troop,
has this to say about 1t:
"I cannot say that this troop
had started the first boys bowling
league, because might be making
q false statement, but I would like
to call attention to the fact that a
bowling league made up OF teams
representing patrols of this troop
has been in existence now for two
years. this being the second year.
Last year there were five
teams represented In the league
which ran from November 1921 to
April 1922, the winner not known
until the last day. so close were
the two highest teams, and such
winner only being named after an
extra box had been rolled on
account Of = tie, and then there
being q difference Of only one pin
In the scores.
This year SO far the race has
been very close between two teams
representing the Owl and Wolf
patrols. These two battled IL out
last year, the Owls winning. The
league bowls at the Arcade every
Tuesday afternoon from $3.50 to 6

This is interesting stuff for the
younger element of bowling. J. w.
L. Wood, manager of the Kin9Din
is planning a junior tournament To-
keep pace with the youngsters de-
nnand for competitive bowling. The
tournament would be rolled in the
afternoon hours.
