Forfeited Franchises
Given 10 Greenway
And Alexandra
New Maximum, Minimum
Averages for Teams
To Be Established

With the addition of Alexandria
Recreation and Greenway Bowl to
replace Del Ray and Hiser's Bethes-
Ga, the only two teams which def
nitely have forfeited their fran
chises, the outlook was bright to-
day for the Mems District Duckpin
League to start its second season in
q row with Is teams.
This was indicated at a special
meeting last night at Hi-Skor, when
l3 team representatives besides
adopting a new set of bylaws and
rules set September as the open
Ing date of the 1923 season.
The only important rule left un-
decided was the one governing the
maximum and minimum averages
of the teams. Last season 610 was
the top mark and sos low. 1t was
pointed out that due to many of
the city's leading bowlers being in
the armed forces and any number
likely to be called before the season
is over that only few teams would
be able to maintain 6l0 team
average while others would find 1t
difficult to meet the required min
imum of 595
The rule that only two high
average bowlers be allowed on each
team still is in effect.
