The two decks in the Monroe street wing were only slightly damaged by smoke. No rebuilding will be necessary ex cept in the Fourteenth street upper deck, but to speed that Manager Bill Wood will close the entire establish- ment that the workmen may not be hampered. As a ult, most of the leagues bowling at the King Pin will have to suspend their schedules for a week, but N Wood has promised them that they may double their programs when the alleys are recon- ! structed In order to dispose of post- ponements speedily. The National Capital League, one of the strongest circuits of the city, however, has decided to transfer its «chedule to the drives at King Pin No. 2 until evervthing is repaired at its home alleys. Among leagues that will cease com- petition for u time unless they are able to make temporary arrangements elsewhere are Shipping Board, In ternal Revenue, Financial, United States Chamber of Comme: 3 orth Washingtop Church, Bureau of Stand- ards, Automotive, Ladies Navy, Chesa- peake and Potomac Telephone, Poto- mac Electric, Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, Eldorado, Ma- rine Ladies, Interstate Commerce, Per- sonal Audit Men's and Personal Audit Ladles. Leona Zwissler, a recruit in the ‘Washington Ladies’ League, bowled for the Delhis last week and made a favorable impression in her ({nitial league engagement. While her best game was 94, she appears to have the knack of socking the headpin with the first roll and with a little experience in league matches undoubtedly will strengthen the Delhis. Arville Ebersole of the Masonic Association is a determined bowler, He has set as his goal an average of 100 and while he still is shy of that mark he is nearer to it now than ever hefore and continues plugging at the pins. He probably gets much more out of bowling than the fellow who steps on the drives with no definite objective. ~-Helen Ml Wi [ 1 ingles M th nul yester: v Saunders, an Eng 0.
