five rounds had been reeled off :
one of the many prolonged con-

Of the past. It was not so very
long afterward that Mitchell, &C
companied by Buffalo Costello,

Several years later Mitchell,

Dixon 5 Great
Duckpin Mark
meatened
By Edinger
BY r d THOMAS

Comes another unusual score to
grace the seasons bowling records.
The HiIltops' star, Edinger, car
we'd q set Of 425 when the Orioles
forfeited to his team in the Ath-
Ietics Club League.
Edinger threatened to smash the
phenomenal record made recently
by Harry Dixon, Of the Agricul-
tural League, who totaled 445
for three league games.
The Hilltopper shot 148 in his
first game and added ITO In the
second, which gave him total
of 318 with only 127 to make III
his third string to tie Dixon.
Every member Of Edinger's team
figured him certain record
breaker when he finished that
second game but in the final
string he lost his stride and did
well enough to get 1O7.
It is predicted that Dixon's score
viii be beaten before this season
IS done. In no less than dozen
instances bOWlers have put over
big scores in tW - Of their games
only to fall down in the other, just
as Edinger did. 1t is argued that
eventually one Of these sensational
shooters will maintain a wild pace
through thirty boxes.
1t is noticed that Glenn VOL

to- bowl as well as keep 3 high

tahliShInent. not an easy achieve

since the Mt. Pleasant rlInWays

Glenn shoots anchor for the Mt.

League and also performs regu,
larly in the Masonic League. 1t is
likely that he will be found in the
thick Of battle again when the an
nual allAstar contests between Wash.
ington and Baltimore are held.
These promise to be more inter
esting than ever. Bowling is
booming In Baltimore, even as it
is here, and the Monumental City
claims to have new talent to pit
against Washingtonss.

John Evans, who organized the
Capital City DucIxpin Association
and managed some of the inter-

burden again.
Evans is the official scorer IF the
Masonic League and the District
League and is making an art of his
job. Besides keeping up the aver
ages, getting the scores to the
newspapers each night and boosting
things along here and there, he is
writing nice pieces for publication.

GOnzagQ Faces
Guyon Squad

Stadium
BY ROSS CoNKLIN

No velvety caressing, no broth

the scheduled meeting today II
the Eastern High School and Con
zaga football teams. From the
very moment the Purple-clad war
riors from Gonzaga rush out onto
the gridiron until the last whistle
had blown, savage, earnest, even
precarious football is the con-
templated program. They meet in
the Central High School Stadium
at 3:15 o'clock.
Gonzaga is looking through a
roseate cloud, and Eastern, bear
ing Smalice aforethought because
of that narrow tass1e with Bust
ness, and the grinding tie with
Western, seeks raw meat and
seeks it hungrily. The happy
thought occurs that the light Blue
and White will find all the raw
meat It can comfortably hold to,

Stenogs like lion cuffs its cub.
They made it a Roman holiday.
They ran themselves dizzy and
groggy. Only the shades of swift

Eastern and Gonzaga both
have visions Of a city champion
ship. GOnZaga for the first time
I'M years has team that shapes
up on paper as the best scholastic
team In the city. And the
street boys are in earnest quest.
Eastern has no stars who stack
UP with Bozek. Twomey and Lane,
Heeke and Hogge, all good heavy
hope to compare with the brilliancy
of Gonzaga.

If the willy Indian can give his

from the GOnzaga backs the score
may be respectable. Otherwise,
it will be a GOnzaga day.
