Business blew two golden oppor-

The initial Central marker came
in the second quarter when weak
punt gave the winners the leather
deep in the Business zone. Capt.

it up to the 3.yard tape, and Plum

The second Central score was made
by Sanford Ross, who shared
Business pass and galloped 40 yards.
A Business tumble was responible
for Central final touchdown, the
victors getting the oval on their

worked it down to under the up

For one reason or another. the
case varying with individuals, many
of the stars were induced to join
the new league and the National
Capital suffered accordingly.
The old league is IN no danger
OF passing out altogether, however.
Merely it has lost its rank as a
crack outfit. To add to its diff.
culties, the few remaining stars
are not evenly distributed among
the teams. Hence the pennant race
is bound to be lopsided.
There is talk now of reorgani-
cation, which may be effected next
year. Some of the bowlers think an
effort should be made to strengthen
the league throughout. Others are
in favor OF eliminating the few
teams that outclass the field and
making it a balanced loop, regard
less OF general strength.
It's troubles might be solved by
putting the league on a circuit.
This at least would place it in a
position to compete with the Dis.
trEet by gaining the support of all
the leading establishments, which
would share its trade.

This was the formation Of
THE Athletic Club League,
planned originally to include.
teams representing athletic
clubs.
The District and National
Capital were the only two
open leagues in the city. As
strictly athletic club affair,
the A. G. League would have
been closed one. Bnt this
status 1t held for only short
time. 1t, too. became an open
organization and by now it
has become apparent that the
city will not support three.
The Washington times., 1928-10-31

The District League. which had
b close rival in the National Capt.
tai for years, finally has won the
upper hand. For this the bowling
magnates are mainly responsible.
They have made the District
League virtually an interalley or
ganization. with most of teams
bearing the names of bowling es-
Establishments. The stars have been
given every incentive to stick with
the District. Not a few of the big
guns are employed at the various
alleys and for obvious business rea-
CONS they have passed up the Ma
tional Capital. which stages all its
matches at one emporium. It's
home this year is the Lucky Strike.
Once a withdraw wal of stars from
q bowling, or any other sort of
sport orga nization is begun, the
decline usually is rapid. So it has
been with the Natiolal Capital.
IT was on the way out as a crack
outfit when another destructive
factor entered several years ago.
The Washington times., 1928-10-31


Every outstanding star since the
. little pin game was introduced here
has rolled at one time or another IN
the National Capital League. A list
OF their names would fill this col
umn. The long parade has been two
decades in passing. But passed it
has, or. at least, the end appears
to be in sight.
For no longer do all the line.ups
or the National Capital sparkle with
bright names. Only a few Of the
noble Romans of its day Of grandeur
remain and the newcomers to bowl
ing fame are even scarcer among its
membership.
It's a sad truth to some who
l8Olk back with fond memory
upon old National Capital
League days. but the answer to
its decline may be found in the
ever.increasing struggle of bowl.
ing alleys for business.
