The Property team won the 1925-26
championship by taking all three
games from the Accounts five on the
final night of the season. The entire
Property team bowled well, but only
Stork and Cooper could get going for
Accounts. 1t was Property's first
championship in its 10 years in the
league and was very popular one.'
Nelson, captain of the winners, Is
one of the best liked men in the
circuit and has been an enthusiastic
worker for the league since its estab-
lishment in 1915.
BY making a clean sweep of its
three games with the 1nterbureauS,
the Plant Bureau outfit finished in
the honor division, nosing out the
jinXed Economics five.
The Economics team had a rough
sea son. With total pinfall prac-
tically equal to that of the second
place team, Capt. Barber's men fin
ished fifth, two full games behind
Plant Bureau. in spite of the fact
that they outbowled the latter team
by more than 900 pins during the
season and spilled 400 more than the
So-Kems in third place.

BASE BALL SECRETS
BY Sol Metzger.
When Bunting.

Good bunting is one of the most
effective methods of attack in base
ball. The good bunter must not
only be certain to connect with the
ball, but must also place it and at
the same time get off to a running
start.
In bunting. grip the bat well up
from the grip and keep the hands
fairly we'll apart. AS the ball ar
rives. move the body forward and
just tap it. That is, just let the bali
strike the bat. The grip should be
light and the ball can be directed
down either base line as desired.
The batter should also be under
way as the ball meets the bat, as in
the illustration on the left. In the
illustration on the right the batter
is attempting to bunt by gripping
the bat at the end and swinging
into it easily. He can neither con-
troll the direction of the ball nor
get under way to first as his bat
meets it.
