Team Standings:

The drive for the top that was
launched by the Commercials few
weeks ago, that finally established
that quint in the runner-up place
within one game of the Columbians,
was brought to an unexpected halt
by the Climbers Tuesday night. The
latter annexed two games, which will
go down as one of the several dope
upsets of the week. Bethany fur
nished another by coping two of
three games from the Daughters of
Isabella, while the Beeques gave the
Washingtons an awful setback when
they applied the calsomine brush to
Capt. Lowd's strong outfit.
The BeeQues were in great form,
getting the splendid count of 545 in
their second effort. They came back
with 507 in the last game and reg
istered total of 1922 for the set.
Both counts were just a little short
of the league records.
Catherine Quigley~was the outstand-
ing performer, shooting all three
games over the century mark for a
322 set. She regained the point she
lost last week and brought her aver
age back to 100.
Pauline Thomas registered a neat
set of 314. with high game of 100,
while her teamnate Gladys Bywaters
was in evidence with a get of sos,

Margaret Boston of the Climbers

bits of bowling for the season, when
she pulled couple of double headers
rolling against the Commercials.

Of the first game she topped off with
a strike in the tenth frame, and du.
plicated this in the seventh and eighth
frames of the last game. These
achievements were mainly respons-
ible for the Climbers triumph in two
out of three starts.
Bethany ran it's string of victories

those of the District of Columbia and
Maryland hope that the services of
NJ. d. Hart, secretary of the present
commission, will be retained. He has
been the efficient secretary of the com.
mission for the last 10 years. The
sound judgment and common sense
that has guided all his actions in mat

make him a hard man to duplicate.
The many years he has devoted to

fact that he is natural born sports

The pennant aspirations of Capt.

astrous blow when Mount Peasants
