Wilmot did up" Thayer was hardly eX-
pected, and to certain extent robbed
the game of the excitement which char
acteriZed the contest when these play
ers met in the final for the Foley en-
blem. Thayer lacks the cool confidence
of Wilmot, and to that reason, largely,
his defeats were due. The closing of
the bowling tournament, and the close
way in which the clubs are running, has
increased the interest around in bowling
in the city. The tournament closes this
week, and the present indications point
to four of the greatest bowling games
witnessed in st. Paul.
~
Charley Moth has nearly despaired of
getting another chance at the big
farmer, Smith McHugh. Moth feels
very sore over the referees decision at
Rochester, whereby the fight was given
against him on technlcality of the
fiimSiest sort, and he has repeatedly
challenged the big fellow TO another
'serap." and these challenges have met
simply reiterateS his confidence in be-
ing able to efeat.Moth, but he fails to
come to time with forfeit money for a
stake, and that is what Moth asks for
Moth is still in Lake City. A.
letter from him yesterday states that
he can make short Work of McHugh
now. He claims to be in prime
condition, whereas he was sick
when they met on the carpet
in Rochester Feb. 5. He says that if
he can do as well when sick he knows
Moth will be III st. Paul in few days,
when he will put up forfeit in the
hope of getting McHugh to come to the
front.
Should this match occur in st. Paul.
there will likely be two events on the
same evening. Little Jerry Sullivan is
anxious to meet Frank Murphy, of Min
neapOlis, in a catch-as-catch-can con-
test, but in the event Murphy will not
accept the chance, Flanagan, of Rice
Station, is willing TO make another go
with Jerry. Jerry is not satisfied that
he was fairly defeated in Lake City
Friday night. Once he was thrown off
the carpet, which is no fall under the
rules, and another time he says he was
only one point down when the referee
gave him the worst of it. He feels that
he can defeat Flanagan with disinter-
ested and impartial referee.
o. II. Raddatz, of the University club,
has been doing magnificent practice
work the past weak. 1t should be ex-
planned that it was only three months
ago that he made his advent OH a bowl
ing alley. 1t seems that he has an in

In nearly every novice, but took as
readily to handling the big wooden
spheres as duck takes to water. In
two weeks he was able to bowl down
ten strikes and spares, and now he is
one of the crack players of his club.
During the week he has made the fol-
lowing grand scores Oh FoleY's alleys:
Saturday, 1913 and 213; Monday, 1877,
212 and 1850; Tuesday, 100; Wednesday,
1914, 1919 and 1876; Friday, 186 ana ISL.
Joe Moshofsky, the giant manipulation
of the spheres for the NorthLight aggre-
CATION, had an interesting game with
day. MoShofsky made total of 2l5
pins, in this order: 80, so, 20, Is, 30, 10,
90, 8, 10, 20-215. He made bad slip
up in the eighth inning, else he could
have tied OrdWay'S wonderful play of
229. Miller also passed the double CEN
1urY mark. His score was: 80, 10, Is,
10, 80, 20, 10, 80. IS, 20-2O2.
George Benz insists that one Of the
pin boys at Foley'S has subtle trick
that defies the skill and execution of
any bowler. He maintains that the boy
has a penchant tor sticking his pom
dol tu a nj N
thereby holding it in place, when t
would otherwise have fallen. 1t is pre-
Bumed that George would much rather
prefer that the boy had little lasso and
pull the obdurate pin over.

George Mohr, the valiant captain of
the Bismarcks, insists that he organized
that team expressly for the tournament,
and that two of the members took their
very first lessons OH the alley after it
was arranged to enter the contest for
the GLOBE emblem. This being true,
the team is deserving of great deal of
credit for the good work accomplished
by them IN the series.

Sam Trubshaw was one of the most
enthusiastic spectators at Foley'S bowl
ing alley last evening. When jim Wall
was pounding out thirty pin frames, he
cried to a GLOBE reporter: "For good
ness sake don't say the NushkaS boWled
like fiends in tomorrow's paper. Say
they boWled like the Olympian godsI"

Harry ash has challenged Walter Will
mot for the Foley emblem. OF course,
the game cannot be played until the
close of the ball season next tall, but
Harry is willing to wait. He believes
he will have a show, but it is not de-
veloped whether or not he Will ask for
handicap allowances. He plays speedy
billiards when in the best trim, and may
be willing to tackle the amateur cham
pion at even points.
