I suggested with a cold fear at

was q hidden message in them.

Indicating when he said in a
slow carefully stressed tone:

Suddenly Jim flung down an

began humping.

Jim asked abruptly and in q

Now the Laundrymen may seek
new fields to conquer. The cham.

said to have like inclinations.
Nothing more natural than a
series for the intercity champion
ship. In fact, the matter of a
series with the champion Of this
city already has been spoken about
by the Handlers.
Aloysius trimmed the Laundrymen
in what some thought to be rather
decisive fashion last Saturday night,
and evened the title series.
But the Laundrymen either were
much improved or Aloysius had a
reaction in the final contest. Any
way, the Palace Laundry quint dis.
played an honest.to-goodness knock
out punch. In the first thirteen
minutes of play Aloysius failed to
score a point.
The Laundrymen simply outplayed
their foes. Ingley, Evans, Sauber,
Catlin and Gitlitz played the entire
game for Palace Laundry while
Aloysius used ten men, Of whom
Ford, Byrnes and Connors were
the best performers.

made from the office of Col. c. o.
Sheriff.. officer in charge Of public
buildings and grounds. today.
1t had been feared that Indictment

Last year East Potomac Parks

those of any in this section of the
country. This year they give every
promise of being better than Is per
cent of those found at the various
country clubs.
Manager Leoffler has kept a crew
at work ever since the course was
closed the latter part of January.
While considerable attention was
given to the fairways, especially
those Of Course B, the greater part
OF the work. was done upon the
green's.
Out at Rock Creek Park Manager
Miller has likewise had a crew at
work. Several of the fairways have
been widened. Miller has also
trapped and bunkered several of the
green's. In fact, the improvements
made should reduce the average
golfers scores.
At East Potomac Park golfers will
be greeted Saturday by a new set
OF showers and an entirely renovated
locker room. Any number of other
changes in and about the clubhouse
have been made-all in the interest
OF the golfer.
Season and locker tickets for Eas.

procured at the clubhouse between 8

veterans give the youngsters a real
battle while in Baltimore to seq the
intercity match recently.
Lewis, Stamford, Carroll, HALEY
and Krauss, who rolled together
longest as Royals, probably will form
the veterans lineup, and rhe young
sters very likely will be named
largely from the roster of the all
city team.
Let it be said here, the Royals
have done far less bowling than
in the time when they were assured
Of victory merely by walking on
an alley. This wasn't many seasons
ago. All have keep their arms in,
so to speak, but the interest they
once held has slackened-much.
Wonder If the old fire will return
when that lineup-Lewis, Stamford,
Carroll, Haley and Krauss-is writ
ten on the score sheet,
The match is definitely settled
upon, Henry Rodier, the Royal bust
ness manager, said today.
Every oldtimer in the village will
want to see the match. Some still
have faith In the veterans.
Tomorrow the all-city teams Of
Washington and Baltimore will CON-
plete their home-and-home series
with five games on the Grand
Central alleys, action starting at
4 p. m. People who saw the
Baltimore games, in which the
home bowlers gained q 56-pin ad-
vantage, declare tomorrow's event
is one Of the outstanding attractions
Of the season.
The Baltimore bowlers are top
notchers, every one. Washington
got the surprise Of its bowling life
when the Baltimoreans won the
first five games.
Seating arrangements for 500 have
been made at the Grand Central.

The Yanks, think, will start the
season with exactly the same lineup
that won the pennant last year and
beat the Giants in world series Nat
urally, the other teams cant afford
to stand pat on their 1923 line-ups
Those line-ups were unable to beat
US, and the managers OF those teams
know they simply have to make
some changes If they intend to make
a serious stab at that old pennant.
But of course, the Yanks have
room for some promising reserve
material. All teams have. Every
club in the American League Is
fussing around with young players,
but this is particularly true of Con.
ME Mack's athletics.
Last year Connie turned loose a
team that kicked up an awful fuss

while they lasted, but ike most
young clubs they petered out. Con.
