1.-THE Spare Break" has just
made its first appearance. 1t is
a one.page, three.column sheet
printing all that's fit to print
about the, members of The Wash.
ington Times Bowling League, and
here and there the editors pencil
slips.
It's editor is Charlie Warren. He's
also the publisher, reporter, edi-
torial writer, columnist, pressman,
circulation manager and newsboy.
Benjamin v. McAlwee is his, lone
assistant. He makes up the aver.
ages.
. To Eddie Baker goes the distinc-
ton Of being the first bowler to
attract the new publications atten-
ton. An item about him leads
the feature column.
It reads: Eddie Baker, the
young sheik, has been complain
ing Of cold feet while bowling.
Some one suggested that he should
try wearing red Tanned spats in
order to heat his frigid triIbys."
Incidentally, the first issue of
The Spare Break" has had the
effect of boosting interest in the
league at least 100 per cent, judg-
ing by the number Of requests for
places on teams.
Official statistics Of the National
Capital League show that many Of
the cfty's star bowlers are off to
cd ia
than three regulars in the league
are shooting worse than 100 and
90 per cent of the leagues members
are doing los or better.
Leading the pack is Weidemen,
Of the BelmOnts, with 1914 for
fifteen games and hot after him
are doe TOOmey, of the leading
Joseph Phillips Company team.
with 1881 for fifteen games and
John HarviIIe, of the Kingpins.
with 1881 for nine strings.
Shortly the District League aver.
ages will be published and then may
be expected an argument that win
continue through a greater mart Of
the season. 1t is an annual .arRu.
ment based on the question: "Who
is Washington's best bowler?"
Crack performers are so numer.
Gus and some so equally matched
that the expert dopesters are be.
ginning to separate them into
classes. For instance, a majority
consider Max Rosenberg, of Curb
Cafe in the District League, the
most consistently brilliant ''head
to-head" bowler, meaning that
Make can outshoot anybody in an
individual match. Some hang the
laurel wreath on Howard CaInp
bell, of the Kingpins in the Ma,
tional Capital League and the
Meyer. Davis team in the District
But Campbell has slumps In
which he cuts through the middle
despairingly and at such times is
easily beatable. Rosenberg can
be depended upon virtually at all
times for creditabIe scores or ex.
ceptiOnal scores. He rarely goes
bad.
A number Of close observers arr
leaning toward Arthur Logan, Of
the .Kingpins, as a probable con
tender for league honors this
season. He Is consistent, Is espec
tally good in tournaments, and nov
has a league average Of 114-5 fol
eighteen games.

On being informed of the testi-
mOnial dinner, to be preceded by
q reception, this writer recalled
that first dinner of the Cardinals
TO Clark C. Griffith, then manager
Of the Washington club, dwelling
at more or less length on the
shavers who Joined in the reception
back in 1918. Hope was expressed
that Mr.. Breen might find some
way to have the kids exchange
grips with Griff and Bucky Har-
ris and Nick Altrock and AL
Schacht and Joe Judge, all OF
whom are likely to be present.
Then came a request from "Vir.
ginia,s one o. the "gentler SEX,
that the girls be permitted to take
part in the reception. There was
nothing wrong about that, and Mr..
Breen proves it by the following
public statement from him printed
in the Alexandria Gazette:
ITO the school lads, lassies and
others Of Alexandria:
"President Clark G. Griffith,
Manager "Bucky" Harris, Nick
Altrock, AL Schacht and other
members Of the Washington world g
baseball champions will visit Alex
andria Thursday evening, Novem-
Der 90.
9 "A reception before the banquet
% enable every school boy, school
girl and other children who desire
to meet and shake hands with the
above mentioned gentlemen, will be
arranged for that purpose,
81 respectfully invite all young
ladies and gentlemen to aid in
making the reception a grand sue
cess by their attendance.
Trusting that all school teach
ers will inform their pupils con-
corning the, invitation and have
them in line at the chamber Of
commerce to have brief chat
and give the grip to the "boss"
and his heroes Of the Worlds
Champion Baseball Club. The
youngsters are certain of a hearty
welcome. They need have no fear
for every member of the new
championship team is a gentle
man in every sense of the word
from the president down to the
clubhouse boy. President Griffith
is fond of the kiddies and moth
ing pleases him more than to pat
them on the back and say q few
encouraging words that will make
them happy. The Alexandria
lads and lassies have a chance
that millions of children in the
United States would be glad to
have, so let them turn out in full
force on the evening Of Thursday,
November 20, and let the Worlds
Baseball Champion see that the
kiddies of our town are real live
wires from head to foot.
SYLVESTER BREEN."
Right you are, Mr.. Breen,
Alexandria lads and lassies have
q chance that millions Of children
in the United States would be
glad to have" an opportunity to
shake hands with their world
champion heroes. This is espe-
cially true of Bucky Harris and
Uncle Nick Altrock, the one the
youngest manager of a world
championship club, the other the
kids friend everywhere. It
should be a big night for Alex
andria on November 20, one to
be remembered for years and

Said bacon, two boxes, rests cody

NY appetite was all fixed up for
ham, but bacon was thrust upon me
after 1 had done my bit.
You can't satisfy everybody. A
had three Kewpie dolls
under her ann and she was not
satisfied. She wanted a box OF
candy. I was the same way, not
satisfied with bacon. I wanted ham
So I started out the day with a
breakfast IF bacon instead Of ham.
And the bacon is good. Generally
at a circus I come home with a box
Of crackerjack and a thirst for red
lemonade.
I discovered at the Shrine circus
last night where the jazz band
originated. Am To- the wise bird.
but when I looked into a den OF
rattIesnakes and heard two Of them
rattle off something that sounded
like Watch Your Step I decided
right then and there that the first
jazz band was played by a rattle
snake.
The snake division of the Shrine
circus has plenty Of snakes. but no
snake charmer. I guess that the
snakes rattle too naturally. Am
SIRE that the snakes present form an
interesting collection. They rattle
and look saucy. Don't care for
them as pets.
Cowboy Band Present
Music is furnished by a cowboy
band and many Shriners who call
out their wares. The band plays
during the circus and vaudeville acts
and also act as a musical invitation
? to the snake show.
didn't see all the acts because I
got so excited getting hold Of bacon.
One act in particular is a woman
trapeze and ring artist. She does a
good suin with one foot hooked in
a rope something.
Another act is a wire walker who
does a bunch of Juggling stunts
while on the wire. There are numer-
GUS other acts TO keep the visitors
most of the evening.
The purpose of the Shrine circus
is to increase the Shrine pilgrimage
fund to Los Angeles next spring.
The circus will be on view every
night this week except Sunday and
every night next week, under the
big top at Kentucky Ave. and
West St.
Wish I was a ham owner instead
of bacon filed.
Who can tell, the next time 1 may
com home with an automobile tire
