and the Hub five recognized duckpin
and candlepin champion outfit of the
country.
The Miah Murrays must be without
funds or hackers, or maybe they have
an inflated idea of their importance as
champions. All they ask is that the
Washington bowling promoter foot all
bills for the trip of his team 10 Boston
and pay al expenses of the Miah Muir
rays for a return engagement.
AZ much as Blick would like to
stage match between the teams. he
cannot he expected 10 accept such IN
reasonable terms. Heretofore inter
city matches have been held with the
hackers of each opponent sharing in
the expense. There's no equity in the
Boston proposition. though

as Washington is capable of placing
in competition
Pittsburgh was fair enough to bear
rs share of the burden in the match
held last month. Baltimore. even
though it realized il Is due for a good

M with Washington, never asks for
more than an even break in the pay

parently are not so liberal. It seems
Washington will have to do without
exhibitions by the pinspillers OF these
tight towns this Winter.
Although Convention Hall has pro-
vided ample space for spectators as
well as bowlers. those desiring to get
a good look at the final blocks of the
singles and doubles matches that were
started last Saturday at the Coliseum
ought to get to the duckpin emporium
At Fifth and l. streets early tomorrow
night. Fans will flock TO Convention

he bowls anything like his average

Not SO in the doubles. There Nc
Thilomy and Elicit will start with
only seven-pin advantage. an advan-

gin the last block on practically even
terms. The two-man team affair is
bound to be hot fight from beginning
TO end.
Baltimore does not often overcome
Washington on the drives but when it
does it wants to tell the wide. wide
world. Let Washington know we
can beat it at duckpins once in

Of the match between the Westing-

cities. Well. Baltimore licked Wash
tngton in all three games. The scores
were 400, 4ss and 400 to 40, AIS and
