may have to roll in a city tournament

you had learned to observe the foul

and 1t will throw you off your game
for fair. Besides, can't you see that
when you trample all over the alleys
for & feet or SO past the foul line
you roughen up that space so that it
interferes with shooting by real bowl
ers, like myself, who put the ball on
the alleys just at the foul line? Every
ball I've shot tonight has had to
hurdle over the bumps and splinters
left by your sliding dogs" y
You may be a real bowler" said
the Kid, but you sure look artificial

attention to the game and less to
Lonnie's troubles, you'd go better"

~ came out to bowl, but you turned
the game into a foot race, and I'll
admit that you can outrun me. Any
one watching us would think we were
putting on a series of sprint races,
with me as scratch man and giving
you yards on every start; that's
about the distance you go past the
foul line. Why shoot the ball at all?
When you stop sliding you are close
enough to the pins to knock 'em
down with your fist.
There's Lonnie now" said the Kid,
nodding toward the door. He does
look sort of sad"
"Why not" demanded the Old
Timer, with guys like you tearing
up his alleys all the time? 1t will
probably kill him when he gets down

WASHINGTON LADIES' LEAGUE.

Like the proverbial steam roller the
Beeques have simply crushed all op-
position in their determined drive to
reach the top and now occupy the
position of being the sole challengers
of the Columbians for titular honors.
Their three-game victory over the
Hilltoppers last Tuesday practically
eliminated the latter as contenders.
Pauline Thomas covered herself
with glory in the Beeques' defeat of
the Hilltoppers. and to her great bowl
ing can be attributed the downfall of
the Hilltoppers. Her counts Of 127
and 1923 in the first two games were
effectively placed and practically de-
cided both encounters, while her
spare in the tenth frame of, the last
game, with a 4.pin count, completed
the rout Of the Hilltoppers. She fin
ished with a total of 343 for the set,
which has high for the week.
Margaret Miltner of the CONNER
cials gave a nifty exhibition of pin
toppling when she garnered a 331 set.
She rolled over the century mark in
all three games, her count of 123 in
the second, together with a game of
Maxine Otley, enabled the CONNER
Otley also registered a splendid set,
getting three game count of 322,
with III for high single.
Didine Franklin was very much in
evidence in the Columbians coping
the entire set from Interstate Com
merce. A count of 104 in her first
effort saved the team a defeat, as
Interstate lost the decision by five
pins, while she grabbed high game
with count of 116 in her final effort,
with 800 for the set. Her teammate,
May O'Brien, also contributed an
effective bit of bowling, registering a
set Of 304, with 106 as her best game.
Interstate Commerce made a game
effort to take the Columbians in the
first game, but dummy score ruined
their chances, and they were out
classed in the other two. Bertha
Heinemann missed good oppor-
tunity to get credit for scoring a win
over the leaders when she got a
string Of four spares in her first
effort, but a two-pin count on her last
mark. with four in the box, put a
crimp in her game, and she wound
up with count of 103
The Climbers rolled true to form
and smeared Bethany for three
games. Catherine Furey established
a new mark for high set on the team
by registering 304 for the string, with
high game at 113, while Stella Turek
copped high game honors with a
count of 1870 in her final effort, giving
her 298 for the set.
You have got to hand it to Mabel
Jenkins and her game bunch of PIN
spillers on the Bethany outfit. A
mere matter of being hopelessly last
does mot keep them from trying just
as hard to win. and they are in there
all the time fighting for game as
though the championship was at
stake. They can furnish real OBJ
ject lesson to some other quints for
enthusiasm and pep in the face of
discouraging setbacks. incidentally,
they are right UP to date in their
schedule. and have not forfeited a
single game during the season.

Some Bass are Found.
This column learned recently of an
old marble quarry on the outskirts Of
Baltimore that was stocked with bass
over three years ago by the Bureau OF
Fisheries. This quarry is fed by
springs and is now said to have about
70 or 80 feet of perfectly clear water
in it. Arrangements by the owners
to resume work in this quarry have
been made and the water is to be
pumped out. It is said that the bass
can be seen merrily swimming around
in the clear water and that practically
little or no fishing has been done in
the pond.
This column asked and received
permission to have these bass trans
planted in the basin. The matter was
taken up with the division OF fish
culture Of the Bureau of Fisheries,
which promised to send men over
to net the bass when the pumping
operations have lowered the water
sufficiently to enable the men to get
the fish. 1t Is safe to say the results
will he well worth the effort. Any
one knowing Of a similar pond who
can get permission to have the fish
transplanted to the Tidal Basin should
notify this column.
The Hawes bill, now before Con-
gress, to prohibit the sale and inter
state shipment of black bass is ex-
pected to come up in the House for
action some time next week. Rep
resentative Halves expects to have no
trouble in getting the bill passed.
Senator Watson of Indiana has In
troduced the bill in the Senate. and
it was referred to the interstate COM
merce committee, of which he is
chairman. Senator Watson is an
ardent fisherman and will do all in
his power to have the Senate act on
the bill in the near future.
