Two weeks ago the two teams clashed in Roanoke and the home quint won at that time by 144 maples. This gave the Virginians a margin of 164.

Interstate ‘Commerce Delbis Daugh! Beth: Like the proverbial steam roller the Beeques have simply crushed all op- position in their determined drive to reach the top and now occupy the position of being the sole challengers of the Columbians for titular honors. Their three-game victory over the Hilltoppers last Tuesday practically eliminated the latter as contenders. Pauline Thomas covered herself with glory in the Beeques’ defeat ‘of the Hilltoppers, and to her great bowl- ing can be attributed the downfall of the Hilltoppers. Her counts of 127 and 123 in the first two games were eftectively placed and practically de- cided both encounters, while her spare in the tenth frame of. the last game, with a 4-pin count, completed the rout of the Hilltoppers. She fin- ished with a total of 343 for the set, which has high for the week. Margaret Miltner of the Commer- cials gave a nifty exhibition of pin- toppling when she garnered a 331 set. She rolled over the century mark in all three games, her count of 123 in the second, together with a game of 122 by Marjorie Bradt and 107 by Maxine Otley, enabled the Commers clals to capture a 518 game. Miss Otley also registered a splendid set, getting a three-game count of 322, with 117 for high single. . Didine Franklin was very much in evidence in the Colunibians copping the entire set from Interstate Com- merce. A count of 104 in her first eYort saved the team a defeat, as Interstate lost the decision by five pins, while she grabbed high game with a count of 116 in her final effort, with 309 for the set. Her teammate, May O'Brien, also contributed an effective bit of bowling, registering a set of 304, with 106 as her best gamq Interstate Commerce made a gam effort to take the Columbians in the first game, but a dummy score ruined their chances, and they were out- classed in the other two. Ber:ha Heinemann missed a good oppor- tunity to get credit for scoring a win over the leaders when she got a string of four spares in her first effort, but a two-pin count on her last mark, with four in the box, put a crimp in her game, and she wound up with a count of 103. The Climbers rolled true to form and smeared Bethany for three games. Catherine Furey established a new mark for high set on the team by registering 304 for the string, with high game at 113, while Stella Turek copped high game honors with a count of 120 in her final effort, giving her 298 for the set. You have got to hand it to Mabel Jenkins and her game bunch of pin- spillers on the Bethany outfit. A mere matter of being hopelessly last does ot keep them from trying just as hard to win, and they are in there all the time fighting for a game as though the championship was at stake. They can furnish a real ob- Ject lesson to some' other quints for enthusiasm and pep in the face of | discouraging setbacks. Incidentally, they are right up to date in their schedule, and have not forfeited a single game durjng the season. PUBLIC DEBT GIRLS' LEAGUE. Standing of Teams. Won.

NSTALLATION of the racks to prevent the escape of game fish to be planted in the Tidal Basin byithe Bureau of Fisheries this Spring has been completed at the inlet gate on the Georgetown channel side of that body of water, but at tire outlet gates on the Fourteenth street side, opposite the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, progress has been re- tarded owing' to the small openings which have made the work very I difficult. However, a gang of workmen areproviding Washington with an ideal laboring hard to have this gate com- pleted not later than tomorrow or pos- sibly Tuesday noon. At this gate the rackg have to be placed on a float by hand, it being impossible to get a crane near enough to be of service. ‘The foreman in charge told the writer yesterday that it was very slow work, but that he expected to have all the racks in place by Monday afternoon, if it was possible to do so, as his in- structions were to keep ut it until the job was finished. Allowing for a possible storm or a setback of some kind, the work of dredging the basin has been definitely set to take place next Thursday, be- ginning at 10 o'clock. The work will be done with a 1,500-foot sein and each haul will be made upon the site of the old bathing beach.. The man in charge of this work expects to complete his job in two days, providing it does not rain. In case of rain the work will he resumed on the first good day, for, as tire dredger says, “the water will be cold enough without getting soak- ing wet working in the rain.” May Watch the Work. All those who desire to witness the work of seining the basin are re- quested to go to the old bathing beach site. As each haul is made the fish will be placed in two separate nets about 400 feet in length, one for the fish to be returned to the basin and the other for those declared ‘‘undesir- able” by the officials of the Bureau of Fisheries. The 1,500-foot seine to be used for this purpose has a depth of 18 feet. In order to get the water in the basin as low as possible, full advantage of low tide will be tuken and the gates closed. It is said by those in charge that the gates can be kept closed for a period of about four hours, after which they will have to be opened: on account of the strong force of the in- coming tide, which might do damage if checked too long.

Frank Donaldson's 339 count gave DeGlants <olid help, while the entire Property team bowled well. Ready, at anchor for Interbureaus, did the best work for his team, complling a' set of 352. Accounts took two of the three games from Economics in a match featured by the shooting of Capt. Stork of the winners. His set total of 342 fails to indicate the high-class work | he was doing—work that reached its climax in the making of that white blackbird, a 7-10 spare! Barber’s 329 set was best for the Eco- nomics five. The So-Kems, distributing their high games and marks to excelleat advantage under the careful coaching of Capt. Joe McKericher, won two of the three games from Plant Bu- reau. Moe)ler’s 126, added to the 128 count of Alams, was sufficient to put the first game in the So-Kems’ won column, but the Gersdorff-Adams- McKericher combination really did not get to work until the finish of the second game, when they picked up 19 pins in the last box to win by a margin of 508 to 495.

Some Bass are Fourld. This column learned recently of an old marble quarry on the outskirts of Baltimose that was stocked With bass over three years ago by the Bureau of Fisherfes. This quarry is fed by springs and is now said to have about 70 or 80 feet of werfectly clear water in it. Arrangements by the owners to resume work in this quarry have been made and the water is to be pumped out. It is said that the bass can be seen merrily swimming around in the clear water and that practically little or no fishing has been done in the pond. This column asked and received |y permission to have these bass trans- planted in the basin. The matter was taken up with the division of fish culture of the Bureau of Fisheries, which promised to send men over to net the bass when the pumping operations have lowered the water sufficiently to enable the men to get the fish. It is safe to say the results will be well worth the effort. Any one knowing of a similar pond who can get permission to have the fish transplanted to the Tidal Basin should notify this column. The Hawes bill, now before Con- gress, to prohibit the sale and inter- state shipment of black bass is ex- pected to come up in the House for action some time next week. Rep- resentative Hawes expects to have no trouble in getting the bill passed. Senator Watson of Indiana has in- troduced the bill in the Senate, and it was referred to the interstate com- merce committee, of which he is chairman. Senator Watson is an ardent fisherman and will do all in his power to have the Senate act on the bill in the near future. age of 109-22 demonstrates that he is consistent.
