There's new league in town. It's
the Mayflower Hotel League holding
forth at King Pin No. 2 drives, and
1t bowls on Wednesday night of each
week. Although young. the circuit. lis
composed of teams chockful of eager
ness to match their strength with
other quints of the city.
And at the same time the league
benefits the hotel employees physically
and helps the morale of the organiza-
ton Of the hostelry by promoting
friendly competition on the alleys.
Watching the eight teams of the
league bowl, one Is agreeably sur
prised by their scoring when 1t is con-
sidered that only one man Of the or
ganization has ever been in the line
up of league team prior to this sea
son. And one is also impressed with
the enthusiasm displayed by the bowl
ers. On their bowling night they get
to the drives long before team play Is
scheduled, do deal of practicing and
stick around almost until closing time.
A league of this kind is certain to
progress, and a great deal OF credit
for the live interest in the circuit Is
due Dave l.. Conn, the league presl-
dent, who rolls with the Accounting
Office team. The other off1cers-and
thew are doing splendid work. too
are Vice President Tex Stovall, mem
ber of the Laundry team; Secretary
2. j. Wright Of the Garage five; Treas
urer William Dupar, who rolls Win
the Engineers, and Scorer Charies
Brady.
The league ia composed Of teams Of
employes working in the various de-
partments of the hotel, as follows:
Uniform Service. Accounting ONCE,
ENGINEERS, Laundry. Main Dining
Room. Garage, Kitchen and Banquet
Room. At present. Uniform Service
is leading the circuit with Account
ing Office in second place, but the
other teams are not named IN the
order OF their standing.
The leagues leading bowler at
present is Nichols of the Uniform
Service, with an average of 10y.
Matero of Engineers. Gales of Garage
and McGraw of Accounting Office are
pressing Nichols closely.
Sometime next month a quint com
posed of the best bowlers of the May
flower Hotel League Will engage IN
a match with a team of men animated
with the King Pin drives. And II the
Mayfower team is defeated, the hote'
management will stake the victors to
a banquet. Manager Armiger Of King
Pin No. already has named himself
as head of the five that Will oppose
the Mayflowers. He also has drafted
for his club Bill Wood of King Pin
No. l and John Pinspiller Evans, also
with the Meyer Davis interests. The
remainder of the team will be picked
in the near future.
Here is one for the book. With
Plant Bureau shooting against the
Property five in the Agriculture Inter
burleu League. the teams went into
the tenth box deadlocked. They bat
tied neck and neck down the line until
DIR. Posey Of the Plant five hit for a
strike amid clamor from the Plant
rooters. Shooting for his count. he
fouled on the first shot, and the pins
had 20 be reset with no credit given.
A trif1e upset, he broke the second
ball wide. and it took the side of the
alley amid groans from the Plant
Bureau gallery. The ball. however,
hugged the edge and went down to tip
off No. Z. Can you beat that? A
one-pin count on a strike in the tenth
box. and that count sufficient to break
a tie and win for the boWler's team.
Nationals swept their set with the
Hugh Reilly Company in the Athletic
Club League. all Of their games being
