Charley ZSchau's III aSterly perform
ance in the tournament is deserving OF
more than a passing mention. lie only
began bowling few months prior to
the matter of indi Yidual scores, only
being defeated by George Nettlet0n. of
the Nushkas, and the TWO were SO very
close that all accident might have re-
versed them. ZSchau had an average of
1925 pins per game, while Nettleton
scored 1898 per game.
Through some slip the names of two
of the staunchest boWlerS in the tOurna-
ment were omitted from the list of lead
ing individual aspirants. These were
e. r. Schmitz and Frank Klosterman,
OF the Enterprise team. Schultz carried
off third honors in the individual score.
His average was 1874 6-8 pins PEI game,
and KloSterm ans average was 116I,
| placing him next behind j. G. Wall i'll
the list.
The entries for the Twin City tourna-
ment are beginning to come III, and the
success of the event is already assured.
The Capitol team expects to put up
SITTER series than they did for the ST.
Paul championship. One of their best
bowlers was out of the city, but he has
returned in time to exhibit his prowesS
and bolster up the club average. The
University. the Enterprise. the North
Light and the Bismarcks are in steady
practice. and there are new teams,
among them the Germania, that have
signified their intention OF entering.

The return of winter has had the eff
feet of resuscitating curling, and several
spirited games have been played on
Raspberry island the past week. A
point contest drew out a large attend
ance of members Saturday evening, but
in point of interest, the contest paled be-
fore the match i'll which the Peoples
Ice company and the Scotch Kinks were
pitted. Contrary to expectation, the
Scotchmen had to bite the earth.

The long drawn-out Windsor billiard
tournament will end this week. 1t is
grievous mistake to have large mum
Der of players in tournaments of this
kind. When large number of players
are unavoidable the contests should be
pushed with vgor. Unless something
of the sort is done, the interest i'll the
game languisheS, and virtually the end
aimed at in the tournament is not at
tanned.

The Press club billiard tournament
has tiZZled out. This was solely owing
| to the large number of entres-tWenty
| three. A careful calculation showed,
at the rate games were played, the
tournament would have concluded by
| Christmas.
Billy Wood, OF Lake City, has
posted a forfeiture of $50 with the
| GLOBE to back Charley Moth against
Smith Ntzhugh, in eateh-as-cateh-c can
| match, to occur either in st. Paul or
| Saltwater upon date to be mutually
agreed upon. This forfeiture is for a
stake of from 500 to $500 a side, and
! Wood stands ready to make it 1.000 if
McHugh has the courage to make it as
much. Moth is still in Lake City, but
he will be in st. Paul during the pres
ent week. McHugh seems to be vaci-
| iatng, and Moths hackers think him
afraid to venture money against Moth.
If McHugh funks, Moth will try and
l
| King-LewiS contest. which comes off in
! Chicago shortly. This would prove all
exciting event, and would probably at
tract national attention, owing to the
reputation of the athletes. While Evan
| Lewis has been reported in bad health,
his hackers declare he was never in bet
ter form III his life. and Jack King is
surely one of the best mixed wrestlers
of his day. 1t is doubtful, however, if
the latter can be induced to meet Moth
in the style Moth prefers, Gr&co- Ro-
man. But there is no doubt he will be
willing to fight for a big stake in a
mixed contest.
Jerry Sullivan reports that he hasn't
heard word from Frank Murphy, of
Minneapolis. Jerry wants to get OH a
catch-as-cateh-can match with the little
Flour City lad, 10 come off either in Red
| Wing, st. Paul or Minneapolis, for 500
a side and gate receipts.

Mayor Smith is an old-time adept in
bowling. He used to defeat such men
| as Judge Olivier i'll the earlier days of
st. Paul. and he still feels an inordinate
interest in the magnificent sport. Owing
| to business engagements he has been
unable to witness all the contests for the
| GLOBE emblem, although he was pres
ent Friday evening when the Nushka
boys did their great performance.
Judge Cory is an enthusiast, and he
