j. w. Wood, the young Kingpia
chieftain, returned from a busi-
ness trip to Florida just in time
to crack down on a hot iron, the
same being that individual sharp
shooting competition among the
city's foremost bowlers.
Saturday night, at the Coli
scum, Earl McPhlomy and Al
Work will clash in the first five
games of a ten-game series, the
second set to be rolled a week
later at Convention Hall, total pins
to determine the winner.
When this match was made. with
John Blick supporting Work and
Harry Stanford managing McPhil-
omy, an agreement was made that
he winner meet Max Rosenberg.
Now comes Wood with an entry.
His star is Glen WOlstenhOlme.
The kingpin manager today issued
a challenge for the winner Of the
SCNOtAu ~ b0A0 UhA w OAoVNAA
hOlme. who unOfficially win be the
representative OF Mt. Pleasant.
His challenge doubtlessIy will be
accented.
Work is representing Convention
Hall: McPhilomy, the Coliseum, and
Rosenberg. Convention Hall. The
entry OF Glen Wolstenholme COM
pletes the representation for the
a rig bowling sectors. Strictly
speaking, McPhilomy is an entry
of the Stanford Paper Company.
Wolstenholme. now the proprietor
OF the Mt. Pleasant alleys. has had
little time to bowl this season but
needs only scanr practice to put
him on edge. For many years
though still a youngster in years,
Wolstenholme has ranked with the
city's foremost.
He was a star when q lad i'm
knlckerbOCkers. It is remembered
that he shot a set around 420 long
before he reached the long pants
stage.
Judged by her latest performance
Miss Lorraine GULL is quite quail
fled to fire a challenge at the male
stars who now hold the bowling
clans attention. Miss CULTS 395-
set Is easily. the outstanding duck
hin achievement Of the season. A
National record Re claimed for her
but it woulc require considerable
endeavor to ascertain exactly the
status Of her big score.
Miss Guilt has rolled so many
exceptional scores that it is difficult
for her to surprise any more. But
she surely made the bowlers gasp
with that last one.
Speaking of Miss GULL is remind
full of the fact that the Wash
ington Ladies Duckpin Association
plans to boom it's annual tOurna-
ment. A meeting will he held on
Sunday, February T. at the Recrea-
ton, at which time an election Of
officers will he held and plans com
pleted for the tournament. In the
meantime. the association Is busying
itself with increasing it's member
ship. which by February Z. it is ex-
pected, will have grown immensely.

basketball game on its Northern
1aunt, the Fordham speed kings
administering 26-to-21 defeat.
The Washingtonians trailed at half
time, 1S to 8. and they staged a

That rally all but brought them
the game. Fordham, seeing the
game slipping from it's hands, waged
a determined defensive battle, and
when the festivities were concluded
they still had a small margin. They
breathed easier, too, for c. u. was

dropped to 102, a rather alarming
condition.

NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-That
deAthless duel between the BOY
friend. George H. Ruth, and his
abdomen will enjoy a truce of
three days, beginning promptly at
nightfall this evening, the gentle
man announcing that he has met
the enemy and it is temporarily
his. The waistline, it appears,
has become thoroughly docile and
house broken and Georges only
fear is he will get so downright
good that he'll spoil.
I'm a better man today than
ever was in my life" Ruth said.
I'm down to PA pounds, my waist
line contracted measures 3S% inches,
and / feel more alive than at any
time since l was a kid. In fact,
my condition has reached such an
advanced stage of development that
90 they gave me this three-day va
cation"
The shooting will begin all over
again next Monday morning.
Ruth can and does play nine
games Of handbaH during a work
out" Artie McGOvern, his trainer,
said. He will start at 1:30
o'clock and won't leave the court
until Ais, playing continuously.
This Is equal to running ten times
around the bases without stop
ping"
or course, something will have TO
be done about that. We simply
can't have men running around our
bases all the time, and it is possible
that some Of the American League
pitchers may attend to the matter.
They have been known to use a
BIT Of influence upon George before.
At that, the boy friend is there
and no error about it, He looks
extremely trim and vigorous and

trary. the writer sincerely believes
he has been consistent in his night
