CELTICS AND PALACE
WILL BATTLE AGAIN

Washington's Palace Club profess
sional tossers are due to mix In an
other pro league court contest at the
Arcadia tonight with their jinxes--
the New York CelticS, prospective
world basket ball champions OF
1927
Virtually out of the contest for the
second half championship as the re-
suit of five straight losses in the
West and in Washington, the Palace
tossers will enter the fray tonight to
do or die, realizing that another de-
feat at the hands of the Celtics Will
push them far down the ladder.
They dropped one to Nat Holman
and his gang of clever passers at the
Arcadia last night, 35 TO "a, scoring
only one field goal against the clever
defense of the Celtics.
While Palace was being held viz
urally scoreless from the floor, Hol-
man and his band of tossers rang up
eight field goals, bolstering up their
count with flock Of foul losses.
The Celtics displayed the same
dazzling teamwork and tricky pass
ing that has made them the most
feared team in the league, and their

Arcadia, with Elsie Fischer leading
the way with lis, the high game of
the match, and set of 294, won its
first two games from Meyer Davis by
close scores. The Musicians easily
walked in with the last, 496 to 431.
Incidentally the Arcadians' victory
places them in position to pass the
third place Temple five should this

Mabel Williams' game of ITO was
largely responsible for King Pin win
ming the first game of it's match with
Temple by four pins. Temple turned
the tables in the next game, winning
by three sticks.
The third game was featured by
Esther Burton and Margaret Miltner
rolling the best games Of the week,
with the former hitting the NAPLES
for a count Of 129, while the latter
shot 1923. These two big games gave
Temple the deciding game of the set
and also the high game for the week,
sos. Mrs. Miltner had 312 for the set.

You have to play little base ball
with your mouth" said Dan, Il like
a team that is chattering away all
the time. like to hear the infielders
and the outfielders telling the pitcher,
it gives the pitcher confidence. He
knows those men behind him are on
their toes and ready to share the
work with him.
III they are glum and silent and
the pitcher is in a tight hole he will
begin to feel shaky, unless he is a
man of steel. 1t gets any ones goat.
And neither do you need to say
smart things or use words offensive
to either your opponents or the spec
tators. The umpire can send those
players from the field If he chooses
and he should always choose to do so.
For one loud and careless-speaking
player may ruin the reputation of the
whole team--or the game itself.

No. 6-Importance of Getting
Wood.
ByApTHUR URBj

|HERE are two classes or
duckpin bowlers: First, the
bowler whose first ball Is
extremely effective even In
apparently poor hits, but
who misses numerous spare breaks
and does not clean up on WOOD
with any degree of regularity; sec
ond. the bowler whose first ball Is
not so effective, but who has the
ability to shoot spare breaks when
opportunity offers and is also
good wood getter.
| am not referring to the star
bowlers in this connection, for
most of them combine the good
qualities of both classes, but to
the bowler who averages below
1916.
If a bowler gets only three spare
breaks and gets good wood, he Is
better off than the man who shoots
at six breaks, makes four, but
fails to clean up on the wood ana
consequently loses the advantage
of the count from his extra spare
and more.
Shoot your wood at all times.
Clean up that extra pin your OPP
ponent leaves on the alley box
dIL6T DOX, dIlu dL Inc Gnu SOu WAl
surprise him with your one or two
pin victory.
You will materially improve your
game by using Judgment in shoot
ing at splits. Should you get q
2-3-4-6-7-10 split it is far better to
shoot to clean up first one side
and then the other than strive to
slide either or over in an at
tannnt for a snare.
Another poor break on head
pin hit leaves and either Clio
or Al standing. In breaks of this
class always shoot at the two pins,
never at the single pin. To get the
wood you must shoot at your best
target with the second ball. Don't
leave too much to the third de-
livery.
This is the sixth and last of a
series on bowling form.
