Although it is possible the Ma

officials of the Washington Ball
Club anent the effort being made by

ern League to obtain a percentage
of the Griffmen's receipts from Sun
day exhibitions, which will be legal
there for the first time next year.
President Griffith contends that
the Tampa Club has no basis for the
claim it is advancing to exclusive
territorial rights under base ball law,
and asserts he is willing to lay the
entire matter before Commissioner
Lands for decision in the event the
Tampa Club persists in an effort to
dispute the Washington Clubs ex-

New Alleys Help.
However. the supposedly stronger sex
has put forth more than a few really
good new bowlers this year. Perhaps
the addition of so many alleys has ac-
counted for this. The new Lucky
Strike and Arcadia establishments,
probably as fine as any alleys to be
found in the United States, have
boosted the game wonderfully. They
have attracted to the bowling ranks
many who had either no. inclination to
take up the game or who had been un-
able to find easily accommodation on

Naturally this increase in bowling in
