meeting at Convention Hall.
Al forfeit claimed by the Govern
ment Printing Office team has been
protested by Petworth and the Ar
Cadia team has similar complaint
against Meyer Davis.
Efforts to handle the situation out
of court apparently have aggra-
waited matters. Some OF the boys
have disputed quite bitterly in un.
official sessions.
The tendency has been to make
something of a personal issue OF 1t
and this is not calculated to advance
the welfare of the grand old league,
nor the individuals involved.
None of the teams is classed
as a formidable pennant con-
tender and a game or two
doesn't appear to be worth
scrapping over when one con-
siders the disagreeable aspects
OF it all. Whatever principle
may be at stake Is clOuded I'm
misunderstanding.
A really important question to be
taken up tonight is whether dummy
scores should be counted in the total
pinfall. Scorers hav' been incon.
0lStent on this point.
More than once the District
League pennant has bt i decided
by total pins and it's prospect for
repetition. The league may be saw
ing itself lots of trouble by settling
this question once and for all.

Weidman ''really let 'em have it"
In the double. His 634-set was one
OF the most skiIlfully carved Of this
season and he was ably supported
by Webb, who had 554. Harrison
shot SOS and Fischer SAB.
In the singles Webb totalled $50
against F'ischer's 545, the ConVen-
ton Hall representative getting off
to a poor start and never catch
ing up.
Harrison and Weidman gave the
fans a couple of thrills in the last
game of the doubles. Paul started
with a doubieheader strike which
just about evened the match. But
Weidman dropped in doubleheader

the Convention Hall pair again were
In front. Dutch followed with four
spares that clinched the victory for
the night.
Harrison had beautiful start for

His first box netted him % pins.
He had Sc in the third. His final
count was 127.
Bill Wood, the King Pin boss, and
Al Gardner, Convention Hall pilot,
have agreed to make the inter-alley
title series an annual affair. They've
put up a neat purse, too.

Pop HALEY, of the Recrea.
ton, Is steamed up over the
Plumbing Industry League.
This observing veteran has
been making quite study OF
bowling types and declares the
mediocre performer is the chap
who gets the most fun out Of
the game.
"You won't find any outstand-
iEg star in the Plumbing Industry
league" says Pop. "but neither
will you find a league whose
bowlers get more real sport on the
alleys"

Plumbing Supply Company. Edgar
Norris Sales Company, E. G. Scha-
fer Company, holland Company,

ningham Plumbing Supply Com
pany. Masters Plumbers No. 2, and
Plumbing Inspectors Office.

Arey, secretary and official scorer.
This is the leagues first season
and it's off to a promising start.
