tain of the King Pin team.
Considers him one Of the stand
out District League finds in
years, eh? AL Woods, on my
team, a first-year District League
man, is every bit as good, If
not better"
Several bystanderS crowd e d
around "Hokie" and the chap he
was addressing, curious to hear
what the young King Pin manager
had to say.
ooh, yeah?" cracked the fel-
low sitting on the corner of
HOkie's desk, to whom the out
burst had been directed. Tell
us about him."
This boy is the goods, I'm
telling yOu," HOkie insisted. eff
the rest of my gang, including
myself, clicked like this lad does,
we'd be right in there fighting
for the pennant.
Fans are inclined to over
look him when we bowl, because
he is so quiet, but, boy, how he
pounds those naples"
AL, according to averages, is one
of the pace-setters on Hokie's out
fit.
Averages 115
He is carrying a lis average,
which is second best on the team.
"HiS consistency makes him
remarkable. He doesn't get
many strikes, but he's deadly on
spares, particularly when the
game is close.
Despite a peculiar. Looping
stride, he delivers the ball
smoothly and with great accu-
racy. He never tightens up or
presses, and he never gives up,
fighting for every stick"
Woods, who is 20 years of age,
is native of Alabama. He has
only been in Washington five
years and had never even seen a
duckpin alley until he came here.
He started bowling in the Com
merce Department League with
Patents No. 2 about three years
ago and rapidly climbed to the
top of the heap. Last year he
averaged 112 to finish among the
leaders in this loop, and had 113
in the King Pin circuit.
122 in B. Y. p. U. Loop
Even more conspicuous than
his excellent work in the District
League is his startling 1872 aver,
age in the B. Y. P. U. League.
He has held this pace with con-
Sistently high sets.
Woods is also one of the main.
stays on the Patent Office team
in the Mems Federal League,
with which he is averaging
around ia.
