PASSING OF LEWIS
Former Bowling Star Dies in
Hit-Run Mishap-Another
Pinman Nails Driver.

THOUSANDS of Washington bowl
/ ers today mourned the death
of Earl T. Lewis. who died Jes-
terday at Providence Hospital within
an hour after being struck by hit
and-run driver in the vicinity OF
Naylor road southeast.
With the passing Of Lewis. the most
famous bowling combination in the
history Of the game here, the Royal
Team, was broken. More than dec
ade ago Lewis and Harry Krauss
Harry HALEY, Harry Stanford and J.
Bernard Carroll comprised the Royal
lineup which seldom met defeat
Their feats have become almost
legendary.
For 20 years Lewis was a star
bowler more distinguished for his
his averages. He figured prominently
in numerous team records.
For many seasons he was a member
of the Stansbury Lodge quint of the
Masonic League. He was largely in
strumental in the organizing Of the
big Internal Revenue League. AS a
bowler he reached his peak about a
decade ago. Lewis was As years old.
An odd coincidence Is that another
former duckpin star-Joe Brewer
caught the driver who hit Lewis
Brewer was headed for his Maryland
home when he saw the mishap. which
occurred while Lewis was thanking
another motorist for extricating the
Lewis car from mudhole.
Other witnesses were Lewis wife,
a daughter and a niece.

Nh/ ditions in prospect for this
v v week, pigeon fanciers Of
Washington are preparing
their birds for what promises to be
the biggest season in the history of
the racing birds in this locality.
An extensive program which will
open April 28 and reach its climax
in June has been planned by the
National Capital Racing Pigeon Con-
course, of which c. G. Sterzer Is

held on April % from Charlottesville
Later in the season the N. c. r. P. C.
will stage three races from Alfalfa,

the pigeons will home in day, feat
that requires flying from sunrise to
sunset and only stops to drink.
Three championship races from
Cleveland. Tern, also will be held and
the fancier scoring the highest aver
age speed in these races will be recog-
nized as the Washington champion.
In practically all races flown from the
500-mile station there are a large per-
centage of pigeons which home the

L its popularity. The origin OF
this breed is not definitely
known. 1t is given by one authority
as a descendant of the old English

it was developed by some laborers

tered the university. Saturday he
walked out on the field in the dual
track meet with Richmond and not
only won the discus throw and shot
put, but then astonished everybody
by throwing the javelin a little over
2o3 feet. And when anybody gets an
idea that tossing a javelin that dis
tance is not a real feat, then the only
thing that individual has to do to
Opel that idea is just to get out
a..d try it. Guckeyson played on the
foot ball team last Fall, despite the
fact he had practically no experience
In the game, held down job on the

a better player in base ball than in

about Southern gridirons and was en-
thusiastic about the squads he saw
and about the coaches with whom he
came in contact.
You have in the South" continued
Leonard, "as good teams as they have
anywhere. and after~ watching some
of them in practice am not surprised
that the time has come when North
ern elevens no longer have anything

was almost a case of what the score
