SHOOTS
HIGH GAME
Of YEAR
internal Revenue Bowler Rolls
1873 in National Capital
League.
BY r. d. THOMAS.

With score of 178, Leo Speer
Of the Internal Revenue team, crack.
ed the seasons record for a single
duckpin game, and today his name
is among a short list of those who
have done better than 175. A chap
named O'Neill, OF the Treasury De-
partment, holds the record for all
time in league bowling in this city
with a mark of 1873. Dave mccarthy,
Of the Evening Star. is second with
1872. There are several who have
shot league scores of a pin or two
less than 1870.
Speer shot his big game at the
King-Pin against the Regulars in the
National Capital League. He muffed
the chance of a lifetime to hang up
a set total that would have been a
record for perhaps an age. His big
game was the opener. He followed
1t with scores of 118 and 109 If In
the last two he had averaged 1873
Speer would have equaled the great
record held by Ray Chaplin, 4S4
(rolled twice..
His set total was 405, one of the
best this season. His team totaled
1927, with games of 500, $50 and ISL,
which were sufficient to score a
clean sweep over the Regulars. The
RathSkellers hold the seasons rec
ord with a set of 1859.
The King.Pin has been the scene
Of numerous sensational perform
ances lately. Night before last. in
q District League match, the Curb
Cafe bowlers started a match with
the Terminal Ice team by rolling 607,
and had a splendid. opportunity to
smash a record. But, like Speer,
the Curb team dropped in the last
two games, getting 518 and 545, for a
set Of 1870.
The Curb bowlers won two games
from the Terminals, their most be-
loved rivals. Joe Toomey flashed
for the Terminals with set of 376.

MARTINA AND JOYCE IN
GRIFFS' PITCHING PARTY

Joe Martina, the rubber-armed
hurler of the New Orleans Pelicans,
and Ray Joyce, who flung the
pellet last year for New Haven in
the Eastern association, have signed
with the Griffmen and thus as
sured themselves space at Tampa

Martina is a veteran. Eight or
nine years ago he had q brief trial
with the Chicago Cubs, sliding back
to the bushes. He has long been
an iron man on the mound in the

citation and good scouts believe he
has a chance to make the grade in

Joyce Is a youngster, inclined to

THIS PAIR MAY
TRADE TITLES
SOON

Harry Greb, the middleweight
champion. and Mike McTigue, the
light heavyweight champion, may
exchange titles before long. Efforts
are being made to bring this about.
Each man is miscast at present.
Greb is too heavy for the middle
weight class and McTigue Is too
light to have a chance with the best
OF the light heavies, even though he
does happen to hold the title in that
class.
McTigue's title is Of little value
to him because he knows that the
first time he fights a good man he
will lose 1t. Greb's middleweight
title 10 not worth q great deal to
him because IL he were to defend it
often he would soon go into a physl-
cal decline.
McTigue would not be so badly
off II he were middleweight instead
of cruiser-weight champion. Mike
is not the kind of fighter who can
give away weight to high class op-
ponents, but he is not such bad
fighter as middleweights go. By
picking his opponents with care he
could fight often enough to earn a
fortune.
The plan is for Greb and McTigue
to have two bouts, one at the mid.
dleweight limit and one at the 175
pound mark. There are two things
obstructing this scheme. One is
McTigue's trouble with his discard
ed manager and the other is that
each fighter wants to fight for the
others title first.
Every effort is being made to
patch UP some sort Of a truce be-
tween McTigue and his one time
manager. This can be arranged d
great deal easier than it will be to
decide which of the two titles will
be placed at stake first. There are
many reasons why the second fight
might not be had no matter what
the present intention Of the men
may be.

the other fellow from landing any
damaging blows. He is certainly
a good defensive boxer, but there
is nothing very exceptional in his
style. He is one of those boxers
who conveys the impression that
he is a lot cleverer than he really
is.
"But it is remarkable how often
he is mixed up with trouble. He
had the experience Of fighting
within a ring of bayonets, in
Dublin. when he fought Battling
Sikh, and this was an affair that
is unique in the annals of the
ring.
''fn Columbus McTigue was told
that he would be shot if he failed
to go into the ring, and in Dublin
this same trouble ringer was in
formed that he would be shot
if he went into the ring. But
he still has a whole skin, and will
doubtless live to make old bones
as "a pig farmer in his native
Ireland"

Ernie has had one grand march

is we'll on his road, barring acct.

His one defeat was by Joey Fox,

on points, but In long fight there
is little doubt that Ernie would

Anyhow, when Richard dropped

The story that Richard h will

Furthermore, Richard would be

Should Luis Angel take one on

Combs came down from the Blue
