j. w. Wegman. of the Kegel -aggrega-
ton. is one of the strongest Individual
BOWERS in the tournament. His score
averages up we'll game after game, and
this is the real test OF the prowesS of the
performer.
1t is misfortune to the Press club
that Col. BObleter has been suffering
with lame arm, and unable to play his
old-time game. He is improving, how
ever, and the club hopes to 90 at least
to victory under his leadership this
week. Individually. the boys are play
ing better every day. but they do not
seem to maintain Self-posSesSion when
1t comes to championship battle.
The newy-organized Germania club
is getting into practice to challenge the
winner of the GLOBE trophy. The
personnel of this aggregation includes
many of the very strongest old-time
bowlerS of the city, and they may make
1t quite interesting for the GLOBES
champions.
Mic Herges. of the University club. is
host in himself when his muscle is i'm
0bedient subsection. In practice
game the other day he made eighty
seven pins IN three frames. Ninety
would have been a ten-stroke for each
ball rolled. And the University five
are all good bowlers, for that matter.
Owing to the fact that Wilmot and
Thayer will contest the amateur billiard
championship at Foley's Tuesday even
ing, no bowling game is scheduled for
that place on that evening.
In the tournament game Friday even
ing. Feb. 10. the types got slightly
mixed. Charley Zschau's total score
got behind Phil Heck's column. and
vice versa. Zschau really knocked out
1S4 pins, and Heck 1876. This explana-
ton is made i'll justice to Zschau. whoIiS
making pretty battle for the honor of
the highest individual in the series.
George Benz has been i'll the past few
days, but he hspes to renew activities
on the bowling alley with his erstwhile
vim and accuracy tomorrow evening.
He Is perfect gladiator, and he knocks
the big wooden pins higher than Gill
roy's kite" when he hurls ponderous
ball through them. There is, perhaps.
but one other player who rivals him in
this respect, and that is Sam TrubShaw,
the cyclone OF the Humor aggregation.
Dummel. the prince Bismarck of
the tourney, has an eye like All eagle
and an aim like a professional marks
man. His average will be something to
be proud of when the series is done.
No man bowls more graceful ball
than the handsome and urbane j. G.
Wall. And his grace is fortified by ac-
curacy, and while he seldom leads the
NuShka braves in individual totals, his
average indicates his reliability and is
proof of his skill.
Moschofsky, the Hercules of the
North Light five, has great speed. Not
withStanding this fact, one can never
hear his ball when it strikes the alley.
The only sound is smooth rumbling as
the sphere glides on its mission.
Both Viereg and Abbott, of the Ke-
gels, roll beautiful balls, and they are
always sure of big scores.

Young Sampson, the amateur billiard
iSt. has begun to give any other anna
teur player in the city a discount. Dur
ing the week he passed the fifty mark
many times and scored sc in an inning
Wednesday. SIMPSONS speed is in.
creasing every day, and 1t would be in
tereSting should he challenge for the
Foley emblem. He would probably be
given penalty of good many points,
else he would have a walkover.

There is talk of getting up an exhibit
ton game between Sampson and one of
the Minneapolis professionals. Good
judges OF the grand game aver that he
would be in it with any save Jules
Mayer.
Billy Tole, the Duluth expert, is in
the city, and he will soon take Charge of
the Metropolitan billiard room. He is
not only great manlpulator of the cue,
but he is phenomenal finger billiard
| iSt, and he makes all of Adams or
| Shaw'S exhibition shots. Tole will give
series of exhibitions at the Metro
poiitan during the week.

President Kimball. of the Press Bowl
| ing club, has been doing some excellent
work on Foley's alleys. Thursday aft
ernoon, in friendly game, his innings
| figured in this way:
| 30 30 20 9 30 90 10 II 2S-203
There is plenty of material i'm the

wanted is chance to bring it out.

noticeable in their play is very encour

1t might be good advice to the Press
team to try 81. NJ. Kimball in some O
their championship games. He knock.

now and then runs the figures up above
the 200 mark.
