Competition Keener.

THERE may be less color, but there
is more competition. No player
wants to be pushed aside by a rival,
ana they regard base ball as liveli-
hood as we'll as a sport.
Many big leaguers are college men
who played a Winter sport, but even
where they aren't they belong to a
gym, play hand ball, squash or per-
form on parallel bars.
They know we have a daily weight
chart and that you can't fool the
scales Like college foot ball players
or any other group which is serious
about condition, they weigh before
and after practice, and any weight
irregularities are dealt with imme-
diately
Within short time I expect to
have some kind of line on our team,
and I anXiously await the reports we
always trade with other teams Nearly
every club in the league has player
I'm particularly watching from the
comeback angle.

relnS from my son Earle.
Today players leap out of cars or
off trains when they reach a camp
city pretty close to playing condition.
Old Timers Fattened.
pUT when I played, away back
when, they eased themselves off
the trains. They looked more like the
fat mans race at the lodge picnic
than even the married mans team
that always gets sore arms the same
sunny afternoon.
Nearly everybody reported Is to 25-
sometimes even more-oVerWeight.
Many-I was an exception mostly be-
cause I'm slender even noW-let them
selves get flabby over the Winter.
They had to go through back break
ing programs to get into playing con-
dition and I still don't know how
some of them did it.
There wasn't much logic to this. For
when a season closed, they continued
all forms of exercise like a baserun-
ner diving back at the bag. A game
Of pool often was the nearest thing to
a workout they ever took.
Now. oddly enough our big problem
is not to knock weight off, but to build
up players. On my present squad,
mostly young and entirely hustling
players who have been thinking and
planning base ball all Winter, there
are more men who would be better for
five to ten pounds more weight than
should lose that much.

w. c. d. A. Misses Only One Year.

EBERSOLE is the directing genius
of the Washington City Duckpin
Association which will conduct its an
nual city championships April 20 to
May at the Lucky Strike drives.
Nothing more than a run-of-the- mine
bowler himself. he nevertheless has
been keenly interested in the game a
long time and since he became Off
cially associated with the w. C. D. A.
that organization has lifted duckpin
bowling to the highest plane it ever
has occupied in the Capital
He has been planning this twenty
seventh annual tournament of the w.
c. D. A. since the last ball was bowled
in the 1896 championships. They call
the impending tournament the twen-
ty-seventh annual" although there
was no w. C. D. A. affair in 1915.
That year it gave way to the
tourney held by the Atlantic
Coast Bowling Association. now
defunct, in the old Census
Building.
Edible says that this year he'll have
$50 teams in action in the six classes.

x you, you and you don't know
" it, maybe, but the season now
nearing an end has seen more
a boWling-of the duckpin va
riety, Of course-than any other in
Washington since the dismal days
Of the depression. More boys are
getting bucks and they're getting more
bucks these days and the mass attack
on the mapleways is a reflection of
this prosperity.
That's what Arville Ebersole claims
and it all leads up to this:
Washington soon will see one
of its best city championship
duckpin bowling tournaments.
I so happens that Ebersole is sec
retary Of the Washington City Duck
pin Association (he has been a long
time) and it's mostly up to him to
get the boys out for the annual title
tussle. They'll be hitting the alleys
and the pins in surprising numbers
