For the first time in three
years the ambitious Arlington
team, led by Dave Cox, is IN
front Of AL Work, Jack
Whalens Mag Wood, Tommy
Nolan and the several other
stars who have banded to
make the Athletic Club League
pennant a soft prize annually.
At first they were the Smith
field team. Now they are the Jo-
seph Phillips Company quintet. Tne
lineup has changed little. Inc
same crack buwlers have never let
the pennant stray. They won
the year the league was organized.
It's quite q preOrdained mat
ist Ter that they keep It year after
wear. with most of the other
Athletic Club League bOwlers re-
signing themselves to struggle
for secondary hOn0rs and cash.
The Arlington bowlers, with the
indOmitable Dave Cox leading
them. have been exceptions to
the rule. They have started
each season confident that
Work, Whalen. ct al, could be
had.
So it's an interesting fact that
today the Arlingtons are out front.
They have won 10 games and lost
five. The Phillips team won Ii and
lost six.
The all.star team was sailing
alnno hlithefulIy and without a.
thought of danger when practically
the whole team had an off night
and was painted snowy white by
the unheralded Rialtos. But 1t
didn't appear to be annoying to the
experts to drop three straight. It
bothered them not at all that the
hunbIing put them in second place.
It's only matter of a few more
matches, probably. before they'll be
in their accustomed position.
Az one of them remarked: m
glad we lost. 1t makes things n
trifle interesting"
Ana there's the point of this bit
az sarcasm. It would be lot more

glory in a pennant victory for the
axperts and the cash prize con-

The King Pins will be only slightly
favored, though they defeated the
same bowlers in Baltimore two
weeks ago by 81 pins in five games.
The Convention Hall team. which
leads the District League with
two-game margin over the King
Pins, has rolled only two sets this
season under 1900. The time is
not long past when 100 score
