had l3 pins less. The total for VOL
stenholme in those 20 games Of In
dividual competition was 2.458. an
average Of almost 1913 to the game.
Another record was put on the
books when two teams of the District
League opposed TO each other wound
up with 600 each. thus necessitating a
.Oll-Of to determine the winner. King
Pins emerged the victor. the losing
.eam being Convention Hall.
The standing Of teams in the Dis
trict League shows the leading King
Pin team to have q three-game mar
gin. besides leading in total pinfall.
This rise to supremacy, for the time
being at least, has been due to the
superla tive bowling OF every member
4 the duint. The statistics show that
N eight weeks exactly 1880 pins
we're added to the total pinfall. the
team sets ranging from 1.S2l, the sea
son record for the city. to 1.71T. the
lverage team set for those eight weeks
being 1,749. During that time King
Pins won l9 and lost . games. which
included games Of 600 or more. On
two occasions games above 500 were
oiled twice in one set. The individual
averages Of the five men of the King
Pin team range from 1l6 to Ill. suffl-
cient to offset any impression that
nav prevail that the dizzv pace set by
the coordination piloted by Capt.
Charley Benson is due to the efforts
ot any one man.
Whalen Is Star.
Jack Whalen. bowling with Stanford
Paper Co. in his first year in the Dis
trict League. has proven himself a
star Of the first magnitude. leading
.hat team in individual average, and
now ranking third among the District
League leaders with an average bet
ter than llJ. He undoubtedly Is the
best bowling prospect that has come
into the major organization in some
years, his performances among the
veterans of the city stamping him as
:. pinspiller Of the highest caliber.
It Is being freely predicted by those
who are keen observers of young tai
ent that Jack will need little season
ing to go on to greater achievements
on the maple drives, causing aspirants
for top honors Of the city to reckon
with him before the laurels are dis
tribu'ed. AS member Of the Joseph
Phillips team Of the National Capital
League Whalen set a season mark Of
Ao8 for high individual set, only to
have 1t bettered a few nights later by
Al Work. his teammate, who went 2
pins n the van.
