OLD ROYAL
ROCKIES
CALLED
BY r. D. Thomas


Pop HALEY, captain of the old
Royals, is forming a 1uckpin team
that figures to make it warm for
the Roanoke bowlers who flung a
challnege this way recently.
The Mountaineers were. a trifle
indefinite. They called for match
with the Royal team that battled
them five or six years ago. The
dyed.in-the-wool Royals. including
such as Harry Krauss, Pop Haley
himself. Skinney Carroll. Harry
Stanford and Earl Lewis, either
have ceased to take the game seri.
ously or quit it entirely.
So Captain HALEY, by leave of the
Mountaineers, is assembling line
up of pin maulers who at one time
or another carried the Royal banner

With this leeway. he finds 1t
possible to muster strength

Royals years ago have re-Or-

quite as skillful as Of yOre.
They averaged nearly 800
team game i'm a 5-game match
recently with the young stars
of Roanoke.
Such bowling would be out of
the question for the regular Royal
team. Harry Krauss hasn't been
near an alley for more than year.
HALEY rolls three games a week
with an old mans team in the
Recreation League Skinny Carroll
has quite the sport. Stanford is a
mere spectator once week when
his Stanford Paper Company team
bowls. Lewis bowls with several
teams, but doesn't take the interest
in the sport he had when the
Royals were hot And what's be-
come of Andy Goddard?
So Captain HALEY will depend
on bowlers who were Royal
rockies In the good old days.
These include AL Work, Max
Roseberg. Glenn WOlstenh0lme
and Perce Elicit.
These four could carry any fifth
bowler in the land, including even
Harry Krauss
However, the venerable ROYAL
captain has made no definite de-
cision regarding his active lineup.
