With few exceptions all the Gov
ernment departments have leagues
and many Of them have two, one
for girls. In several Of the leading
alleys gill bowlers are almost as
numerous as the others. They have
done much to give bowling the
environment that has made It q
game for everybody imam, woman
and child.
This season Is expected by
some to make good the prediction
Of the late John Il. Vaeth, in his
prime q great 6ucIpin bowler,
that an average Of 118 would be
achieved as soon as grOoyed alleys
were eliminated and uniform rum
ways put In their places.
Much has been done to bring the
condition hoped for by Vaeth
through the recent erection OF new
alleys. The Central Coliseum with
twenty-five alleys and the King-Pin
No. 2 with eighteen are brand new.
The King.Pin No. / with forty
drives and the Petworth establish.
ment with thirteen are as good as
untouched by wear.
Bowlers in the last Washington
City Duckpin Association tourna-
ment pronounced the Grand Central
alleys perfect ana considerable re.
vamping has been done at the
Recreation where there are thirty.
eight drives.
On these alleys win be done the
bulk of this seasons competitive
bowling. At each Of the establish.
ments mentioned several unusual
scores have been made this early
but they are likely to be regarded
really warmed up.
Joe Michaud, who was q veteran
bowler in 1905, knocked off a score
Of 1853 on the new Coliseum alleys
and gave hope to other old timers
who thought they were losing out
before the advance Of brilliant
young blades.
Having had several weeks Of
watching the boys shoot straight
and regularly true at the beadpin,
Lonnie Krauss, Coliseum manager,
predicted today that ten or twelve
bowlers would hang up averages
Of 115.
Several have been flirting with
this mark in recent seasons. Young
Earl McPhilomy, now with the
Stanford Paper Company team in
the District League, went along
through most Of last season with
the Petworths averaging 116 or bet.
ter. He finished with about 115
and was widely regarded as the
seasons leading duc4pinner.

And He's Still Going

Everett Scott, by playing in every
game during the 1924 season, has
run his total OF consecutive games
up to 1890. He hasn't missed a.
game since early in 1916.
