BY taking all three games from
the interbureaus while the So-Kems

Capt. Stork himself led the way for
the winners with a high game of 125

324, did by far the best bowling for
the Interbureaus.
Matthias, one of the stars of the
Messenger team of last season,
played the leading part in the Public
Roads victory over the So-kems,
though il Is only fair to the latter
team TO say that they had their best
bowler on the bench. This was
Gowan, who is leading the individuals
of the league with an average OF Ill.
Showing an astonishing ability to
come from behind. the strong Prop
erty five took the odd game from
Plant Bureau. Twice in succession
the Property team went into the final
boxes trailing and then produced the
pins necessary to win. Lindstrom' 5
ia game was sufficient to give the
final content to Plant Bureau. Frank
Donaldson. also with the Messenger
team last season, contributed the best
set for Property. 1923, while Rose
counted 324 for Plant Bureaus high

Aided by the super-sharpshooting
of Cooper, who totaled $40 for his set,
the Economics five took two of the
three games from the Solicitors. For
the Solicitors Rupert, with set OF
337. did the best work.
Another striking illustration OF the
uncertainties OF the duckpia game is
the fact that Cooper's set of $40 was
achieved with the aid of three strikes
and nine spares. On adjoining alleys
Ferrer of Plant Bureau and Ready
of the Interbureau fve had three

team set of 1923. the latter being an
all-tine mark for the league. Marjorie
Bradt Of the Commercials contributed
her share to the record smashing by
shooting a game of 80 without
mark, topping the former fiat game
record by two pins.
Marie Frere of the Washingtons
was a big help to her team in achiev-
ing their record-making set, having
three games of 1l2. 107 and 10S,
total of 327 for the string, which was
the best recorded for the week.
Jennie Malcolm sandwiched her big
game in between two counts of 80
and 81, for an average boosting set of
326.
Elizabeth Ackman of the Washing
tons, after being in a slump for sew
eral weeks, during which her average
suffered a decided drop. staged
comeback and toppled the naples for
a 31S set.
Alice Burke of Daughters of Isa-

he pins for a count of sos. Aura
