King Pins retained the league lead
ership by taking the first and third
games from Temple by wide margins
and would have made Il clean sweep
of the set had it not been for the bril-
liant shooting of Ralph Provost OF
Temple, who contributed q l40- 0-game
by means of spares in the seventh
and eighth frames, and followed with
double header strike in the ninth
and tenth boxes. giving his team just
enough to win by three sticks. His
first effort was "a game of l26, and he
got 1913 in the last. giving him set
of 369, the best of the match. How
ard Campbell with a set of 359, and
Reds Megaw, with one of 34S, We're
best for the league leaders.
The best team set of the week, a
mark Of LIB, was registered by
Stanford Paper Company. when it
took all three from Terminal Ice
Company. A game of 632 by the for
mer team is just seven pins less than
the season record of $50. now held by
Convention Hall. Every member OF
scores. Percy Elicit and Earl Lewis
being high with sets of 376 and 34s,
respectively. The former had games
of l12, 1876 and 129, an evidence of
his return TO his usually good form:
Harry Mccarthy was high for the
Icemen with 343.
Mount Pleasant took the last two
from Convention Hall, the latter team
only winning the first game of the set
by the narrow margin Of one pin. A
set of 342. by Glenn Wolstenholme of
Mount PieaSantS, was best for the
evening. Frank Miller, with 333. was
high man for Convention Hail. while
Joe Mulroe of the same team had the
unfortunate experience of going %
frames before getting a spare break,
most rare occurrence for a District
League bowler.
Regulars captured the odd game of
| the set from Petworth, small scores
being the order of the evening. The
individual averages of Arthur Urban
and Fred Moore shriveled consider
ably because nf their sets of $40 and
305. respectively.
Corneils Lunch managed TO roll
enough TO take all three from Meyer
Davis, the latter team being forced
to present a patched lineup. The
sweep of the set enables the former
team TO occupy second place in the
| league standings, total pins deciding
their position. Kenneth Thorpe. for
Cornells Lunch was high for his
| team, with a set of 327. Lynn, d new
| man for Meyer Davis. was best for
| that team with a 3ls set.
The total pin column brings out the
interesting fact that the leaders in
| that respect are: Convention Hall,
| Stanford paDer Co and Kip1 pins
teams which finished In the order
named in the race last season. From
averages Compiled to date, five high.
| est men being counted, King Pins lead
with IL team average of 557. Megaw
has 12o, Happy" Burtner, ia, and
John Welsh, Howard Campbell and
John Harville, los each. Closely fol.
lowing is Convention Hall, with a
team average of 556. Frank Miller
and Joe Toomey are best with 1i5
each, Max Rosenberg has III. Reds
Morgan, 10, and Joe Mulroe, l09
| The figures for Stanford Paper Co.
show $50 for that team. Jack Whalen
is in the van for his team with I16,
Earl McPhilomy has Ill, Percy Ell
| lett, 109, and Earl Lewis and Irwin
Billheimer, 10S. each.
The wisdom of Harry Stanford in
annexing the services of Jack Whalen
| for his team is evidenced by the scores
this brilliant youngster has recorded
during the four sets so far completed.
His totals have been 344, 367, 342 and
345, in the order named. He has
been tower of strength to the paper
| makers, and may give it just the
punch which will enable that team to
outdistance all others in the race for
the league pennant the present year.
