1t has been rumored that some or
the women's leagues now existing are
opposed to the formation of a city
wide circuit but so far no good rea-
son why such circuit should not be
formed has been advanced by those
said not to favor the move. A har-
moniouS effort to put across the
project rather than attempt to hinder
it by petty pickering would seem
proper.
There Is room in Washington for
such an organization. With one eX-
ception. all of the wOmen's circuits
now operating are restricted circuits.
The leagues represent Government,
business or church organizations, eX-
cept in the case of the Washington
Ladies' League And even that outfit,
bowling as it does at one establish
ment only, really has not the color OF
a city-wide affair.
With league operating on several
drives, as it is proposed a Women'S
District league shall do. teams repre-
senting different sections OF the city
would be brought into competition
with all the friendly rivalry that such
competition inspires. The neighbor-
hood spirit, too often lost in "A circuit
that shows itself at one place all the
time, would he intensified in a city
wide organization staging matches in
various localities.
AS stated before, it might be well
for the Washington Ladies' Duckpin
Association to give some consideration
TO the project. 1t cannot hurt the
league already in existence. Any
move toward healthy expansion in
sport always is worthy of indorse-
ment. The support of the ladies' as
sociation would be welcomed by the
alley owners, who are backing the
plan for the City-wide league. And
that's something to think about.
With Watson sOcking the naples
for a set of 3Sl, La Fayette swung into
old-time form in the Masonic Associa-
ton and grabbed three games from
Dawson. It was the first time this
season that the Champs looked good
all the way.
Here's consistent bowling. In an
Electrical League match. n. Brewer
had games of l04. 104 and 104. But
the II. p Foley team. with which he
was bowling, took only one game of
three from the +. r. Warren quint.
Every once in a while one of the

runs amuck and does not need the

was the case with Construction, that
was given 25 pins in each of it's three
games with Law. With Thomas and
Otto slamming the pins, Construction
took two games, and its margin of
victory in each was considerably more
than 25 pins.

Players Wanted in Trade.
With a pitcher like Vance, the
Pirates figure they would take their
old place III the sun. But to get
Vance something would have to be
separated from Pittsburgh in the
nature Of fielders, and whether the
Pirates would relinquish any one
worth while is a question. They
wouldn't very likely cut into the
Cuyler- -Waner Brinkell trio. and would
be foolish If they did Barnhart might
he let go, but Barnhart can't help the
Brooklyn club. 1t needs something
more stimulating.
The Giants have little in the way
of players to transfer. but might
come across with n stiff cash price

remnant before he quits. and if he
does. as likely as not his base ball
aspirations will have been satisfied
for all time.
Cubs Are PPnnant Hungry.
The Chicago Cubs are hungrier to
win a pennant than they ever have
been, and they are doing everything
, hev can to get together team in
1927 that will put them in the thick
of the fight. They know they have
the nucleus of pitching staff which
is not surpassed in the league. If the
Cubs took on Vance, and he pitched
as he did when at his best, they
would have winning factor for 20
games.
A man connected with the Brook
lyn club is authority for the state
ment that other clubs have been press
ing Brooklyn to get Vance. These
clubs figure a deal can be made be-
cause Vance is high-priced and Brook
lyn needs much help outside the box.
It isn't likely that any club can get
Vance unless 1t is willing to be sep
arated from more than players who
need to be developed. Brooklyn
wants something that has matured.
