BY TWELVE PINS.
The Humors Wrest a Victory
From the Capitol Bowlers.

AS was predicted in these columns
yesterday, it was the hottest sort of I
battle between the Capitol club and the
Humor team at Foley's last evening.
The HumorS won, il is true, but there
was mighty little to spare, and the
merry boWlerS were forced to their ut
most speed in the very last inning to
accomplish the feat. The firSu frame
was tie to pin, but in the second the
Humors forged ahead slightly and then
In the succeeding inning the CapitOlS
only lacked four pins of overbauling
their adyersaries. In the fourth the
HumoTS Widened the gan once more by
bowling down % pms to the CapitOls'
&C, but in the fifth the Capitols scored
101 TO the Humors' G3, placing five vel
vet pins to the creuit of the Capitols,
and the next inning the CapiIols gained
two more. Thence on the fight was
desperate. The Humors BOWED like
fiendS. and tie CapitolS were not slow.
The last two frames were corkerS for
both teams. The Humors made los and
107 respectively, aid the Capitols 106
and 90. and this left the game in honor
of the Humors by II pins. Had Bork
scored as many pins in the last inning
as he did in the ninth the CapitolS would
have Won.
The feature of the game was the last
inning, by the way. The lntensest eX-
eitement prevailed. The result was in
doubt, and victory was in the grasp of
either team. Mueller scored nine. and
Seng went him nine better. Trubshaw
got seventeen pins, and Trudeau raised
him three. George Benz poised his ball
and rolled it down for ten-Strike, and
he duplicated the feat twice over. The
daofppiur and RQD7 70
tired to his seat conscious that he had
helped pull the game out, especially
when Bork fell down with only nine
to his credit. Bosch scored 20 to
Zschau's II, and then Adam Heck
knocked out 30. Again the alleys re-
sounded with the enthusiastic cheers.
1t would take a mighty good play to
wrest the victory from the Capitols now,
and the partiSans Of the Young men were
in. ecStacies; but they were doomed to
sad disappointment. Charley Sterile
made ten-strike. and again every pin
dropped on the second ball. This was a
victory by two pins, but he didn't pro-
propose to stop there. He sent
down a beautiful curve and added
another ten-strke. increasing the
advantage to twelve pins. The
big crowd of spectators went wild.
They cheered as though they were max
ing a desperate effort 10 split their
throats. There were representatives of
all the other clubs present. and many
of them were pulling" for the Capt.
tolls. This was especially true of the
members of the Kegel organization, for
the Humors' onward march is danger
Gus to their hopes. The Humors have
but one more game to play, and that is
with the Kegels, and had the Humors
fallen last night it would have placed
them out of the race for the trophy.
The Capitol club is badly crippled by
Mat Jensen's lameness. He has been
unable to play the last few games, and
while he is almost morally certain Of
picking off over 10 pins, his substitute
only bowled down 14G. This difference
would have put different phase upon
last nights game. The Capitols have
finished their series, and they end at
500 per cent, having won four games
and lost an equal number. 1t is a
brilliant aggregation. ana the club has
lost several games through sheer hard
luck.
The complete score of last nights
game is:
