Megaw, who has averaged better than
1876 for his last IL games in the Dis

The criticism was prompted by set
of 292, rolled shortly after Megaw re-
turned to Washington from Richmond,
where he had been managing an alley
for John Blick.
$50 I'm a punk, huh?" growled Red
to Capt Harry Burtner.
yeah" was the unsympathetic reply,
albeit a kidding one.
So Megaw went to work on his game
He Strengthened it out quickly. Sets of
366, 367, 1854 and 421 followed. More
over he shot 1,139 in the National
Duckpin Bowling Congress tournament
at Richmond to cinch share of the
all-events prize money.
Megaw gave Convention Hall the
punch it needed to sew up the District
| League pennant. It was a tight race
until he got hot.
The red head believes Convention
Halls team is the greatest of all time.
| 1t is the only team that ever won
the District League pennant three con-

game this season is a record.
Harry z. Greer, president of the Ma
tional Duckpin Bowling Congress, has
ruled against protest on the CONNER
cial team of the Washington Ladies
League. The Commercials were sched-
uled for March 16, but were unable
to appear. Some of the girls thought
they should have forfeited. However,
legitimate postponement was arranged
according to President Greer. and
the Commercials will shoot next Satur-
day night.

a brief poem which expresses the
sentiment Of the poet. AS DR. Will
