ly. And what about Poehler? A man
I who can total 603 for five games on
strange alleys, with ball different
from the one regularly used by him,
is some shooter. But why talk about
Walsh and Poehler? l suppose you
noticed that a man named Campbell
got into the match? Well. his total
for his five games was 644, by far
the best shooting of the evening
Walsh only totaled els, even with his
100 game"
"Thass right admitted the Kid
"And l sure got kick outta Camp
bells wood getting. too. Didja notice
that he rolled Is or 16 boxes without
leaving a stick standing-perfect wood
gamer"
"I1l say did. Campbell is a great
bowler. For sheer concentration and
determination. for effectiveness in a
pinch, he probably is without an
equal. He Is a natural anchor man,
money bowler, man who invari-
ably does his best work in a pinch,
and whose season average does not
show how valuable he is to his team.
You can tell the world that a lotta
the King Pins success is due to
Howard" -
"Wolstenholme is some little pinch
shooter himself" said the Kid.
Poehler counted 1877 to Glenn's ia
ip the first game of their singles
match. I sure kissed the championship
good bye. l can't believe there are
five shooters in Washington whose
hearts would not have been broken
by that start.
"But 1t didn't phase Wolstenholme
bit, apparently. That boy has the
makings of the greatest duckpin
bowler of them all Mr.. Poehler
please note. All he needs is a keen
desire to win. Mebbe he has it, but
apparently they have to make him
bowl to get him to show his real
stuff"
You mean to say you don't know
NVolstenholme personality" asked the
Kid. From the way you've been
tall1in' about him l thought you were
roommates.'
Never met him." said the Old
Timer. Tough luck, too, because
they tell me Glenn Is the greatest
talks, so he'd be an ideal companion
for deafened guy like myself
I'm introduce you" agreed the Kid,
'if you'll admit that the present bowl
ers have a lot on the old timers.
The younger ones are the goods;
thaSSall there is to it,
They are!' shouted the Old Timer,
his irritation getting the better of his
judgment. We'll, / can lick you any

first and Second positions. respectively.
Comets, last years victors. who are
in third place, still have an outside
chance, but will have to rally gal
lantly to overtake the leaders. Loss
of two games in their match last
week with Stephens A. c., which
came as an upset, was body blow
to Comets chances.
In the meantime Collegiates and
American Legion kept step. the for

games and American Legion pointing

tests.
In other matches Mount Rainier

The last week of double headers for

Hiram gets the team honors for the
past week, having been victor in both

Arminius biting the dust for three
games each---and was the only team
we'll up in standing to do SO.
That Gompers team, however, even
with Rosenberg rolling in his usual
brilliant fashion. could only take two
out of its six games, losing one to
Columbia No. 3 and three games to
Dawson dropping from second to
fourth place. This was quite an up

a stiff pace, taking the measure of

were off forn1-the consequence, three
games for La Fayette.
On the whole there We're many
changes in position among the teams
and 1t is necessary to compare in de-
tail the standing of week before last
with the present one in order to fully
realize what the rolling of six games
per team will do to a league of this
size.
There was some very good individ-
ual bowling and to Smith of New
Jerusalem goes the honor of a 800
set with high game of 1872, and New

For our honor roll we have 10 men

they are: Urban, 1888; Hansford. ST.:
