Middle Division Tenpin League Review Eastbound keglers who have dominated the standing of the Middle Division Tenpin league throughout most of the season and won the first cycle handily, have company on the top rung this morning in Division engineers who rate an equal percentage. There are just 12 match games remaining before the close of the season and it is possible that not only the Engineers might cop the second half title, but at least two and possible three tears have outside chances of coming through. Standing follows: Won Lost Division Engineers 20 10 Eastbound 20 10 Superintendent's 17 13 Westbound 15 15 Altoona Yard 16 E. A. Enginehouse 12 18 Road Foremen 11 19 Agency 19 Results of this evening's games may have much to do with a possible second half winner.

Their schedule follows: 6 p. m. Altoona Yard vs. Superintendent's Office; Eastbound vs. Wrstbound.

Engineers. Cloyd Buck Leads Cloyd Buck topped the league in high scores last week, getting games of 189, 190 and 232 for a three game score of 611. An odd of last week's schedule was the fact that the boys bowled less scores over the 200 pin mark than at any time this year and yet they grossed close to their season's high mark in total pins for one evening. The reason for that was that many of the keglers just lacked a few pins of gaining 200 pin scores. Just four men hit the 200 mark.

They were Buck 232, W. Hughes 205, Paschall 204 and Grassmyer 212. Last Wpek's Results Engineers 818 871 8672588 Agencv 740 820 796 235F Leaders: Sherry 544, Focht 544 a'--' W. Hughes 590. Westbound 873 823 9172613 Superintends.
