leagues do as much to help th
II one glances down through
the individual averages Of the
various teams you would find sew
eral teams that would appear to
be the class Of the league but due
to the fact that we allow . two
thirds handicap Of the difference
Of the two teams the results have
so far proved satisfactory.
BarriSter, an entry Of recent
years, Is at present holding on by
the slim margin Of one game
with three other teams only one
game back. Naval, one Of the
second place teams and never be
fore this year q contender, has
managed to not only stay up
near the top but they actually
led for several weeks.
They have made this
showing despite the fact that
Harry Scott, their scrappy
leader and anchor man, is
not yet I'm his regular stride.
Hiram, with . splendid array
Of bowIers, has had the diff
Guilty all season Of shooting
a big game when it usually
did not mean anything, and
then losing important sets
This team viii be heard from
before this campaign is over,
though. New Jerusalem, tn e
other team in second place, is
putting up q splendid fight de-
spite rolling without their old re
liable anchor man, Smith. When
he returns there will be another
hard nut to crack.
st. Johns has settled down to
a smooth stride after floundering
around the first part of the sea-
Son-they have lost Silverberg
from last year but are using
Baker, prabably one of the old
est bowlerS in the league and who
once bowled with Naval, but he
Is keeping around the hundred
mark. Petworth's difficulty is in
having trouble putting their
strongest team on the alleys and
reversal of form by Pratt over
last years bowling.
Tak o m . has apparently
made q find i'm Needle, who
has given them needed bal
ance. Centennial certainly
misses Happy Burtner, who
has gone into retirement.
King David, last years cham.
pions, with practically the same
lineup, just can't settle down to
an even pace. Lafayette, always
a contender in every race, misses
Arthur Urban, who also has re-
tired. Considering the fact that
| FL of the So teams are only seven
games out of first place. most
anything can happen before the
end of the season.
The set that Silcox, Of Ma
tional, rolled in the second week
of the season has thus far stood
the assault Of all individual ef-
forts to lower it, although Need
les 4O4 was just IA pins shy OF
tying it.
Charley Phillips, who Occu-
pied the imelight practically
the entire season last year
has given away to Sad Sam
Simon, of Hiram, who Is
flashing q trifle over the 116
mark. Phillips Is seceSd but
is closely pressed by MalHOlm
Watson, Of Lafayette, who is
coming back into his Old-time
form.
Jack Ulrick, Of Potomac, II
rolling regular; should be an
other one heard from. Phillips is
leading in both spares and strikes
having recently taken the lead
in strikes from Hyde, of st
Johns, and is closely followed In
spares by Price, Mertz and Major
Robb.
Dave Burrows is the most i'm
proved bowler over last year. Fin
iShing the past season with a 104
he has worked his way up to the
100 mark, Just dropping below
that the last week before Christ
mas when he shot the only set
Of the year below the 800 mark
and that was 298. The standings
