Score a victory for the girl
bowlers.
Two interesting facts were en-
phasized by the clash at the Coli
scum between tenpin experts OF
Washington and Baltimore.
Fact No. 1, that tenpins is a
fascinating game and could be
made popular in this city, was
shown beyond doubt by the num-
Der of people that crowded about
the alleys to watch the macth,
although nine of every ten of
them were ardent duckpin bugs.
Yet. the big-pin game never viii
return to the high place it once
occupied among the recreation
seekers of the Nations Capital.
That's the second fact, and the
girls are responsible for it.
Today bowling, in this city, is
everybody's sport. Men, women
and children bowl.
But women and children can't
handle the tenpin ball. There.
fore, q return TO tenpinS would
haVeTa tendency to lessen interest
in bowling for them. And, there
fore, the alley prOprietOrs con-
tinually discourage use Of the
big naples.
Each alley keeps a set or two on
hand for casuals, but they never
advertise them. The girl bowlers
now make up a large portion Of the
alleys business and it is the most
desirable business. Skirted bowlers
have lifted the game to it's present
high plane.
And it was the improvement of
general conditions that brought on
the bowling boom.
Knowing the part the girls played
In boosting bowling, the alley pro-
prietors every now and then show
their appreciation. Every demand
of the girls Is met, more than will
lngly, and frequently they are &C.
corded favors unasked.
For instance, the general man.
agement of the Recreation. Grand
Central and Coliseum is arranging
to give the entire membership Of
the Washington Ladies' League a
party.
Heretofore, an annual match has
been arranged with a girls team of
some other city. The Washington
team was named from the best per.
formers and the stars only were
accorded the trips. But this year
the whole league will be in on the
party.
An arrangement is being made
with the management of Baltimore
bowling establishment whereby the
Washington girls will be given a
banquet and dance in Baltimore and
the Baltimore girls will come here
for a similar affair.
The social features will follow a
championship match on the alleys.

Play Three Contests.

"HERE were three intersec-
tional contests on the Coast
in 1922. w. and J. battled
California to a no-score tie at
Pasadena, West Virginia beat Con
zaga, 81 to Is, and Pittsburgh
beat Stanford, II to 6, thus laying
the way for Warne: to become
Stanford's coach.
Penn State took a beating at
Pasadena in 1923 from Southern
California, IA to 3, but the Haskell
Indians nosed out the Olympic
Club, of San Francisco, z to 6, to
make it even.
Five games were played in 1924.
At Pasadena the Naval Academy
and Washington University battled
to tie, ID to IA. Drake defeated
Utah, 33 to Ia. Nebraska whipped
the Oregon Aggies, Ia to 0. South

TN 1916 the Tournament of
Roses was instituted at Pasa-

defeated Brown, IA to 0, at Pasa-

In 1917 Pennsylvania battled
Oregon at Pasadena, losing by a
score of ID to 0.
In 1919 the Great Lakes eleven,
composed largely of college stars
in the service, journeyed to the
coast and whipped the Mare
Island team, also made up of col
lege stars, II to 0.
Harvard, the only member of
the so-called Big Three to visit
the coast, went to Pasadena in
1920 and defeated Oregon, z to 6,
after a hard struggle. There
were two other games that year,
Washington State winning from,
Nebraska, 81 to 20, and Dart

DRIVE TWENTY MILES
TO GET THEIR HERALD

During the early pioneer days II
was not unusual for a back woods
man or trapper to travel several
miles for his mail. and maybe would
not get it then but two or three
times a year. but for people in this
day and age to drive twenty miles
to get a glimpse of the old home
town paper is a thing unusual.
Nevertheless this is what hap
pened in California a week ago
when Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. B. Nuckols
found themselves twenty miles from
the postoffice where they had for
merly received their mail, and know
ing that The Herald. as second class
mail, would not be forwarded to
them. they hoped into their car
and made the drive to get the paper
which contained news of Cody, their
home for more than twenty years.
Mr.. and Mrs. Nuckols' new address
is Route 3. Box 245, Anaheim, Cal
lifornia. They r very pleasantly
located there and, although they
miss their Cody friends a great deal,
are very well pleased with the coast
state as a home.
