In spite of the fact that Bank of Washington is spilling the pins better than at any time during the season they are now losing with more regu- larity than before. This seems to in- dicate that the trailing teams are likely to cause plenty of trouble when the Jeague resumes howling after the holidays.

He is also taking a com Os- borne is in second place with 1101 and Brown in third with 109-30.

Not content with rolling a splendid set last week, Earl Money of Whiting came right back with a 387 effort, composed of games of 123, 135 and 129. His mark was not only the best of the week, but enabled his team to make a clean sweep of its set.

The latter took the first by eight pins and annexed the second, 572 to 568, a 10-pin handicap declding.
