Fair Convention Hall bowlers, first
champions of the Ladies' District

the past week when they established
new high-set mark for the league
at 1923. and. incidentally, trimmed
the Arcadia girls three games.
Capt. Lowd for the winners showed
some of her old-time form, leading the
scoring with set of 3l6, while Eliz-
abeth Ackman, a mate, tOtaled 11o
for the best game. Elsie Fischer,
with 104 game and set of 800 was
high for the losers.
Temple, although losing two games
to Petworth, regained third place
because of Arcadia losing three
games. Margaret Miltner, Temple s
leading pinspiller, was the star of
the match with a game of 116 and

should have been the choice of the
| player most valuable to his club in
| 1926. At third there is LutZke, who
has been so full of promise from sea
| son to season that wonder has been
expressed as to why he has not made
his way to the top of all third sackers
He gives indication of playing better
base ball this year than he ever has
PLAYED for Cleveland.
There also is lot of reserve
strength for this infield Fonesca in
particular is a player who can fill in
almost anywhere and who can bat
the thread out of a ball. The team
is better off in the way of reserve
strength than it was last season.
Speakers Value UnquestiOned.
OF course, there is no. Speaker in
the outfield. 1t would be hard to say
whether Cleveland lost more because
it lost Iris as player or as manager.
AS a player he was seemingly not as
fast in 1926 as in previous years. yet
he is a great ball player. AS a man
ager he did his part toward helping
Cleveland to move to the front in
1926.
In Speakers place the team has a
kid by the name of Gerken. He play
ed with Decatur in the Three.Eye
League in 1926 and batted about $50
and handled himself well in many
ways. He is a fast young man, and
he can go out for a fly ball. He also
can play the ball we'll with a stiff
wind blowing. which is the best of
the tests for young outfielders. This
young man is worth a fair and long
trial. and Cleveland will find ii worth
while to use him.
Cleveland's catchers are quite
healthy enough. They handle the
pitchers well. Luke SeweH Myatt
and Autry should keep the team well
fortified behind the bat.
Other Pilots Dread Indians.
The players cater to Jack Mccall
lister, who is managing them. Other
managers in the American League
dread this Cleveland team. Some of
the teams have had their praises
sung highly. and yet when their man.
ayers talk to you about Cleveland it
is with the respect of cattle puncher
discussing the merits of an elephant
If there be doubts about this. ask
Connie Mack. Clark Griffith, Miller
Higgins, Ray Schalk or George
Moriarty, or some of the other boys.
There is only one answer: Gosh, if /
had those pitchers.

MORE, BETTER MUNY
LINKS FOR CHICAGO

By the Associated Press
CHICAGO, March 20. - Better
green's and more public golf courses
have been decided upon by the Cook
County Chicago) board Of commits
sioners in their first meeting with
their new golf architect, Chick Evans,
once holder of many golf titles.
Extension of the plan of permitting
local groups to build and operate
courses in the public forest preserve
under lease was recommended by
Evans.
Two such courses. run on a daily
fee basis. are now operated and Evans
recommended that the county take
them over when the leases expire, be-
sides making liberal offers of support
to other groups who wish to open
up courses.
The forest preserve of natural
woodland, which almost encircles the
city on its westward fringe, could
well sustain 80 more courses, Evans
said.
