Charlie Warren, of the Ma
tivity Church, a former diamond
and bowling luminary; George
Harbin, professor of higher
mathematics at Georgetown
University, and Charley Ford,
prominent lawyer, are actively
engaged in spreading the idea.
After sounding out various
parishes, they are confident that
a 12-teGn circuit can be organ
lied, with strong possibilities that
1t would soon grow to ID teams.
It is planned to get things 60
ing, in a small way, right after
Easter, and then open up next
fall with a bang. Intercity
matches with Holy Name teams
in the Baltimore, Richmond,
Western and Southern Maryland
sections are contemplated to Stlm'
ulate general interest.
The league may be arranged
on a circuit system, each team
entered selecting a home alley.
In this way it is thought that
the bowlers and parish-followers
will take a more lively interest.
Holy Comforter, Immaculate
Conception and st. Mary all have
mapleways of their own.
Other churches are located
near neighborhood bowling plants
where many Of their young folks
find recreation. Nativity and st.
Gabriel look to Petworth alleys
as their own. st. Peters and st.
Teresa have Queen Pin within
easy reach. st. Joseph is near
Temple.
Churches Near Drives
Holy Rosary, quite active in
bowling in the past, considers
Convention Hall its hangout. st.
AloySiuS is also near this plant.
st. Patrick is Just around the
corner from Recreation. st.
Dominic is within reach of Re
creation.
All of these churches have
Holy Name societies made up
Of active, athletic young men.
DR.. J. j. Hanan aims to get
things going in st. Michael's
parish, at Silver Spring, and
Johnny Micro is getting busy at
Holy Rosary.
In the meantime, the three
leaders are broadcasting request
for all Holy Name societies to
take the matter up at their next
meeting.
The Washington Branch of the
Holy Name Society will be re-
quested at it's next quarterly
meeting to support the idea
hole-heartedly.
There is no doubt in the mind
Of the promoters that there exists
a popular demand for this league.
Holy Comforter and st. Peter
have recently completed bowling
matches.
Various loyal parishioners are
cunning for matches with mem
bers of other parishes, and inter
est in the bowling game is in
creasing by leaps and bounds.

from the Maryland Open. Burn

members of the Maryland Coli

These professionals will ask
the Middle Atlantic Professiona.

ruling on the grounds that il
will make the Maryland Open q

The Divorces Marriage
Announcement

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
am IS years of age and a
divorce, and live here. My par
ents live in another State.
They (my parents) do not live
together and haven't lived To-
gether for years. I am going to
be married again and want to
know the following:
/. Would it be proper, to
send wedding announcements
a week after the ceremony?
2. Would it be proper to
make such announcements in
the following form: MARY
Brown and John Smith wish to
announce, and so FORTH" or 'Mr.
and Mrs. j. Smith wish to an
nounce their marriage and so
forth" or would both be inn
proper?
3. In other worGs, would it
be wrong not to say Mrs.
(name Of brides mother) wishes
to announce the marriage of
her daughter? I think since
have been married before and
not living with my mother that
would be rather foolish, don't
you?
4. If the first announcement
form can be used, should I
use my maiden name or the
name Of my former husband?
I have been using my maiden
name since my divorce.
DAILY READER.
/. Yes.
2. The first form would be
correct. That is, you and your
husband could announce your
own marriage. But it would be
not Mr.. and Mrs. announce,
but your name before this
marriage. preceding his name.
8. I agree with you. that it
would seem more logical, under
the circumstances, that you
outline, for you and your fiance
to make the announcement.
4. Use the name that you
assumed after your divorce.
