THRILLS
By GINo sIlfI

thrills galore Tor the mosC RADIO
Of pin fans. 1t marked the end
Of the first series Of matches.
The leaders in every league
have been lambasting each other
numerically, with sensational re-
suits and great scores.
Only last night, one OF the
greatest matches in the history
Of bowling resulted in the first
encounter between the King Pin
and Northeast Temple teams.
Temple lost the odd game but
not until after q terrific nip-and-
tuck battle that actually left the
end in doubt until the last oall
was rolled.
The match opened up tamely
enough. with King Pin jumping
into the lead, taking the frat
game by wide margin. Temple
hit it's stride in the second game,
but lost when Rosenberg failed
in the pinch and Campbell con-
nected. King Pin won by three
pins.
The last game was repe-
titiOn Of the first, only this
time Campbell missed and
Rosenberg connected, Temple
winning by five pins.
Dutch Weidman'S 4O8, totaled
with three steady games, 1879, 1870
and 139. featured the match.
Paulie Harrison continued bril-
1iantly, mounting 389, while Red
Megaw came out of his slump"
with q sparkling 377.
Howard Campbell, wood-getter
without peers, chalked up q 372,
while Jack WolStenholme's 143
game was high for the evening.
Incidentally the 1883 team set
by King Pin was q new season
record for the District League
Also five 600 games make it out
standing.
AS result of this match King
Pin increases its lead, but is far
from safely in. At least three
teams, including Temple, have a
good chance to knock 1t off.
In the National Capital another
thriller resulted when Grand
Palace Valet Shop overcarne the
King Pin crew in that league
after great uphill struggle. They,
too, will have to fight vigorously
to retain their lead.
In the Northeast League
only . few games separate
the leading Artie Bells from
the fourth-pIace Olive Cafe,
with Curb Cafe second, and
Temple SOuthpaws third.
The same thing is true in the
Eastern League, with IsherwoOdS
leading, the second place Trojans
right on their heels, and three
other teams within striking dis
lance.
The same thing is true in the
Masonic where only a few games
is the difference between the first
six teams,
With the Balboa loss of three
games, the K. c. League first
division teams have a chance.
The same thing is true in the
Ladies District League, where the
first three teams are fighting
it out.
The Washington Ladies League
finds things uncertain at the
first turn.
Nor can anything positive be
SAID IN the Commercial League,
where the Tilnes.Herald is step.
, ping forward as a big threat,
knocking off the Evening Star
five last week.
Only here and there, among
the less luminous loops, are there
any real runaway races.
Secretary, in the Interior
Department, has q pretty
safe margin, and Ammunition
T1ain in the A. G. 0. Ladies
loop outstripS the pack. i
Usually This late q bead can
be drawn on the likely pennant
winner. But. this season things are
topsy-turvy and threaten to re.
main so until the very end.
This has all the earmarkS of
the greatest year that bowling
has ever known, with excitement
rampant on every alley.
