have Gene Tunney all to themselves
and tell him just what they think OF

gave Tunney a suit case and roared
their approval when Col Theodore
Roosevelt. who made the presentation.
declared him a man of fortitude and "a
square shooter from the word CO.
Gene said it was the greatest tribute
he had ever received. He then gave
Tex Ricard credit for the large purses
distributed to boxers today and sug-
gested that. inasmuch as the doughboy
is so underpaid for his services. Tex

in the sport world had been marked by

Quaites of the Beeques in the first
nights play in the circuit.
Time was when every one turned to
the District League or the National
Capital League to find a flock of
bowlers with season averages of 1O5
or above. The smaller circuits each
had several men who could pound the
pins consistently to that extent. but
only in the two city-wide loops We're
packs of such pin pummelers. Now
the Athletic Club League comes for
ward with a host OF fine duckpinning
talent. 1t has 3S rollers with avera ges
of 1O5 or better.
One of the Athletic Club League
bowlers is striding along at 120-
pace. There are four in the III
class and one Is in the 116 class.
Three Of them are shooting at a 49,

40 bowlers, one with a 1O9 record two
shooting 10S three 107, two los and
two 105. That's a fine record for
this young league.
Incidentally, there are FIVE teams in
the Athletic Club League with game
averages of $40 or better. The Airing
tons head this group with 55S. Fol
lowing them are the Union Printers
with 556 the Smithfields with 554. the
Recreations with Sal and the Nation

Wednesday night for a practice ses-
