"An organisatien such as we have ndds n hundred per cent efficiency. Recrea tional competition such as wc hare in 'our League lends attraction te our busl ness relations. "We are keener for work and keener far play. It seems te clear away the cebwebs. Besides the mental stimulus 'and the geed fellowship involved, the 'game is a fine .thing for the health.

Aside from Its benefits,, we girls find duckpln .bowling most fascinating. "There's hardly ever an absentee when the matches are played. There's something about the game that holds i intense Interest. I just started casually three years age te bowl, but new I 'wouldn't miss a night of It." I Miss Kelley said the League started 'through the officials of the various bank!) who .had their own men's league. "They thought the girls would be in terested," she explained "and, about 'three years age they took up up te watch and te try It. They showed us hew it was done and we all liked it se well that they helped us form a league. Nene xl us had ever done any bowling or been near an alley, I guess, before that." Miss Kelley said the girls made their bwn rules for keeping fit for the matches and test proficiency with herself had been a matter of practice. AereM Alley it "I seen found tbnt a little run te the 'foul line helped, instead of standing en 'It, as se many de," she explained, "and , I think part of my high average is due te sliding the ball across the alley in stead of right down the middle. Alse luck. That's the real reason I figure I am ahead. I am lucky. Seme say it's tipping the darkles," murmured the tfair bowler, with a twinkle in her eye. -,.

TDK mere fact that the Eastern Bas ketball League has ceased te func tlen In the borne or its birthplace docs net Imply that Interest In the great midwinter game has died out in the City of Brotherly Leve. The Skeeters and Celtics played wonderful ball en Wednesday evening across the Delaware and n great throng witnessed the uprising. The largest crowd of spectators at a contest this season in this city prier te last evening, was n match in which these same Skeeters took part. It was between Camden and the Houth Phllly Hebrews at New Audi torium Hall, Seventh street and Snyder venue. Lant nlaht these same Robes defeated in the Wllkes-Barre Y. M. n. A. In the second contest of a aeries ler the Jewish championship of the, East, score, a8-10. n .Attendance records were smasneu, out the Immense throng the largest that haB lamped a basketball fracas here this aaaaen. was net there te see an exhi bitien in which male players werq the headllnefs. xney were present te watch the Oreysteck girls battle with the Quaker Maids. "Battle" is an ap- Krepriate expression, for records were ung up and the spectators se excited that the same teams will meet again in the near future. The Quaker Maids have been traveling under this cognomen for Just three con tests. Prier te that time they exhibited under the name of Daughters of Colum bus, but the girls are just as speedy, no matter what title they play under, for the victory last evening was their twenty-third straight. And the score. Make no mistake, 7 te 1, in favor of the Quaker Maids. Delve into the musty old annals of basketball and you will net find any thing en this for a score. Travel far and wide and you will hardly run across any feminine aggregation su perior te these same Quaker maidens. The fellow who speke of a stonewall defense in basketball sbeuld watcb the Quakers in action and see a "five-man" system that works but en the court as well as en paper. Se closely did the winners guard their opponents that they were unable te reg ister a single field goal and their lone scere was a foul ahet by Eleaner Ath Ath erhelt. made about the middle of the opening period. The Quakers tallied five of their seven points In the first half en baskets by Hanna Herbst and May Adams and a foul toss by Nellie Denahey. The guards of the victorious quintet possess a sterling defense. The girls play Eastern League rules and have but one center. May Adams, who made the first goal of the night is secretary of the Philadelphia Quakers, the football team managed by Lee .Conway. SEATS FOR 3500 FANS "I am in this thing heart and soul," stated "Our .Bill'1 Tilden, tennis cham- flen of the world and ether districts, t was at a gathering of prominent local net men in the Manufacturers' Club te boost the coming indoor meet here. . Tilden net only stated that he would play in the event hern rather than In 1 tne national indoor cnampiensnin te ee held, the same week, but also that be would give all hia waking moments te the success of the local tennis fete. "It is for the benefit of the game in Philadelphia and for the junior play era in particular. That'a why I am se Interested." continued Tilden sim ply. "We hove some geed players here, but the future of Philadelphia tennis depends en the youngsters. I am all for them. "They are the ones en whom we must eventually depend. The proceeds of the coming matches will go mostly toward building up junior tennis." Tilden is chairman of the committee which is running the Middle States first annual Indoor tennis champion ship here in the Commercial Museum from March 80 te April 1. Many firemlnent club men attended the uncheen yesterday te beest the event. Boeat Tennis Here All the preceeda will be used te build up tennis as a sport In Philadel phia. As Tilden stated, the young sters will profit most "We need money te give them mero tournaments." said Paul W. mubens. active player and booster, after the meeting. "It has always been a straggle and a sacrifice for some one te held events for the boys. With the finances we could Improve tennis re markably by giving them mere compe tition and enceuraeement. "The winner of the beya' and junior events here are entitled te play in the national, but half the time they aren't able te afford the trip find se we have te send whatever boy can go. There fore, we aren't always represented as well ns'we mtaht.be If we could send the winner. This we propose te de in the future, if the finances are avail able for expenses. "The same gees in the intercity team matches for the Hnnna Cup," con tinued Gibbens. "Wc want te expand this event te include many cities, but we must have money te send our team around. An event like this is a won derful stimulus for the boys." These finances it is hoped te raise at the Commercial Museum. With Tilden. Wallace Jehnsen. Carl Fischer and all the ether local stars In the champion ship, Philadelphia tennis fans will see plenty. But the committee is virtually assured that R. N. Williams, It. L.
