the report that Wilmington school

asked in organizing a Junior

Coupled with high praise from
Mrs. Watts Lea, secretary of the
duck-pin association, it was re-
ported last night that with Is
alleys operating in Wilmington,
more sanctioned leagues had
been formed here than in other

The plans to complete organi-
cation of key leagues down to
Junior teams, as undertaken by
Arthr Ingram, needs only the
approval of H. M. Roland, super
intendent of New Hanover coun-
ty schools. Ingram hope start
the league by Nov. l, with civic
