TUNIS, March 6.—A new official record has gone into the annals of sport. A camel, in a duly supervised | race here has just made a_3%-mile lap of a 25 kilometer race—about 155 miles—in 12 minutes, or at a speed of about 3.40 to the mile.

Kitty Choate of the Deihis flashed a brilliant bit of maple spilling in her second effort against the Daughters of Isabella, shooting the splendid count of 138, which was mainly re- sponaible for the Delhis outscoring' its. opponent by a good margin. “Walsh seemed to be the only man to get used to the alleys,” said the| Kid, ignoring the slam. “Walsh sure did gauge 'em accurate- eclipee’ this mark when she toppled the pins for 132 in the final tilt.

Jidna Parker, a recruit in league, rolled her first match with the Columbians and made a very favorable impression. She crashed the maples for counts over the cen- tury mark in all three games, H best game was 110, with a set total of 315. The Washingtons smashed the pins for good games, notwithstanding it lost two io the Hilltoppers. Gladys Lowd showed to better advantage than she had at any other time dur- ing the season. She made the pace for her team with a set of 310 with top game of 111. Annie turned in a neat set of 305, with high game of 114, while Elizabeth Ackman did the most consistent work, hav- ing a count of 101 in her first effort, followed by two games of 100 each. Iva McEntee of Interstate Com- merce also contributed a consistent bit of bowling with counts of 100, 103 and 104, and figured very com- spicuously in Interstate’s sweeping victory over Bethany. The Climbers put up a great fight against the Beeques, holding them to a tie in the first game only to lose on the roll-off, and copped the last by two pins after a nip-and-tuck battle. Capt.

Irvin Billheimer got the hgh game of the match, a tally of 143, apd a three- game count of 361. Petworth took its only game of the schedule from King Pins in the first session of the match, Bill Wood's charges having their minds on the banquet of the preceding evening. Thereafter the league leaders diverted their attention to bowling and hung up counts of 619 and 605 for the re- maining games.

High individual average — Rosenberg. Hikh 118-15. The last week of double-headers for the league is now history and while it benefited some teams it also caused others quite a lot of trouble. Hiram gets the team honor past week, having been victo of its sets—Columbl No. 285 and Arminius biting the dust for three games each—and was the only team well up in standing to do so. That Gompers team, however, even with Rosenberg rolling in his usual brilliant fashion, could only take two out of its six games, losing one to Columbia No. 3 and three games to Dawson, dropping from second to fourth place. This was quite an up- set, as Gompers had been traveling at a stiff pace, taking the measure all comers. A Another team with pennant aspira. tions, George C. Whiting. was unfor. tunate enough to meet La Fayette at u time when the league leaders were going good while they themselves were off form—the consequence, three games for La Fayette. On the whole there were many changes in position among the teams and it is necessary to compare in de- tall the standing of week before last with the present one in order to fully realize what the rolling of six games per team will do to a league of this size. ‘. There was some very good individ- val bowling and to Smith of Ne: Jerusalem goes the honor of a 396 set with high game of 152, and New Jerusalem now rests in second place. For our honor roll we have 10 men who roiled sets of 360 or over and with' Smith leading with 396, in order for the in both they are: Urban, 383; Hansford, 377;| Patrick, 371: Rosenberg, 368 and his other one was 350; Cross, Campbell and Meary, 366 each: Brown, 362, and Lawrence, 360. Hough of Naval also deserves men- tion for consistent rolling, being the only man with the exception of Ros- lenberg to roll two sets of more than 40.

The team which is well in the van in the Masonic organization and endeavoring to record its fifth cham- plonship, is composed of such well known pinspillers as Red Megaw, Capt. Malcolm Watson, Harry Arm- iger, Arthur Urban and Glenn Wol- stenholme, with additional help, if needed, to be supplied from such lesser lights as John P. Evans, Jack Willlams and Henry Hansford.

Prosperity has its penalties. John Blick is getting talked about so much in connection with the Convention Hall alleys and his proposed super- sports palace for Washington, duckpin fans are forgetting he once made his mark in the bowling game on the alleys instead of in the business office. He is one of the few howlers taking down two first place gold medals in a single tournament. He did this back in 1914, in the Washing- ton City Duckpin Association’s tourr ment, when he won the cl C sin- gles and copped the doubles with Lovering as partner. Ten years ter, at the Capital City Association’s inaugural tournament, he and Thomas set the niftv mark of 710 in the class A doubles. The recent banquet given at La Paradis by Manager Bill Wood to the National Capital Leagues and to the members of his record-making King Pin All-Stars was not only most satis. fying to the inner man, as can be at tested to by the bowlers, scribes and other guests present, who enjoyed to but furnished much food for thought to those interested in personal or ap- propriate vocations. Happy Burtner has been best | known as a bowler and pen pusher of no small ability, but the happenings at the banquet developed that he mis- took his proper ation.
