G. III I P S
By r. d. THOMAS

At the last hour John Blick,
redoubtable captain of the Ter
minal Ice Company team changed
his mind, about shooting his regu-
lar lineup against the Baltimore
Kingpins and perhaps luckily for
him and his men.
Glenn Westefholme, borrowed
from the Washington Kingpins,
was splendid pinch-hitter. Glenn
bounced the naples all over the
Regent alleys and finished with q
total of $50, making him the out
standing star of the first five
games of ten-game series. The
intercity match will be finished
next Saturday night at the King
pin No. / here.
The Icemen, winning by mar
gin of 1919 pins, inflicted defeat
that was humiliating to the team
that several weeks ago knocked
off representative lineup of Wash
ington's leading bowlers. Not even
the most rabid Baltimore rOOter
thinks the Baltimoreans will over
come the big margin when they
appear here.
Nick Chaconas, rolling his first
intercity match in years, was a
delightful surprise. He totalled
500 and ranked next to Wolsten-
holme in stardom.
Action i'm the Washington City
DucIkpin Associations second
annual individual tournament will
start tonight at the Coliseum
with four squads shooting. The
opening night promises some i've
" competition between Balti-
more and Washington bOwIers.
Among the. IA from Baltimore
are Andy Zeller, Sam Cunningham
and J. w. Ruppell, well known as
intercity bowlers. They will per-
form with the 8:15 o'clock squad.
The first. squad will swing into
action promptly at o'clock.
In the 9:15 o'clock squad is one
Of the greatest tournament bowl
ers Washington has ever name. His
name is Arthur Urban. Urban
leads all others by wide margin
in the matter of prizes won in
tournaments of the last several
years. Consistent tournament stars
are rare.
On the alley next to Urban will
be Bill Inge, also sensational at
times. If he and Urban get going
together it will be a five-game
match difficult to equal.

 IS DRIVEN BACK
Subs Successfully Defend Coast
 in ManeuVerS
The Assoclated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Aboard U. s. s. Seattle off the coast of Lower California, March 19. The United States fleet, the great est American sea power ever con- centrated in the Pacific, was cruising to San Diego today.
 Ten dreadnaughts, nine scout cruisers, 53 destroyers, 15 subma- rines, an aircraft carrier and many anxiliaries moved on in majestic alignment under the four star flag of Admiral Robert E, Coontz, con- mandcr-in-ch chief.
 These sea fighters at dawn yester- day completed one of the most spec tacuar maneuvers In the history of the Pacific, problem which after two weeks of cruising eliminated in nlne-hour night battle.
 It was a great victory for the sub marines, for the underwater type of craft saved the United States inva- sion and were responsible for the de- feat of the enemy Black fleet.
 Major interest centcrcd in the performance of a dozen S-boats, 300 foot submarines, which completed a 2400-mile dash from the Panama Canal under battle conditions and effectively penetrated the lines of the great invading Black fleet.
 The new scout cruisers, like the submarines, participated in fleet maneuvers for the first time. Naval officers said that the maneuyers in dicatcd that one of the navy's great est needs for scouting is more of these cruisers.
 The battleship and light cruiser division will proceed from San Diego to San Pedro, Monday, preparatory to practice March 25, in which all the battleships fire savos at targets with the 200 big guns of the fleet shooting simultaneously.
 The whole fleet will pass April 3 in review off Point Firmin, San Pe- 'dro, en route to San Francisco, where it is due April 5. Ten days later the fleet will leave for joint army and navy maneuvers.
