BELMONTS LEAD ALL

Aa the bowlers In the Mt. Pleasant
League approach the half-way mark in
' their schedule, the Belmonts are found
to have an Inroad of two and one-half
games on tho Parks. ,the latter belngr
runners-up In the league. There Is no
.certainty that the Belmonts w'll bo
able to keep this far ahead of the
Parks, as the latter team has, on sev-,
era! occasion" proven Its danger as a
runner-up. The race for the champion
ship seems to lie entirely between theso
two teams, as, at best, the Kcnyons
look able to barely stay Inside, tho
money.
Several Individual records ot note
have been recorded by the members of
tho Mt. Pleasant League. Prominent
among them is that of R. Rawlings.
who has made ten strikes since Jan
uary 1, 1911. G. Rawlings has the lean
record for making the greatest number
of spares and also for having highest
percentage. He has a mark of 33 spares
