The Tournament at the Columbia Club
Opened in Spirited Manner.
The bowling tournament at the Columbia
Athletic Club began last night under the most
favorable conditions, besides the weather was
Just the kind to make the men feel like playing
the game. Coming in cold and shivering the
SPLENDID exercise soon warmed them up.
The results of the games given below show
that some very excellent bowling done and
the plays were frequently applauded. Only
the two middle alleys were used. the two teams
changing alleys, under the rule, at the begin
ming Of each game. The tournament is to con-
tinue until three series of five games each have
been bowled.
There are to be four prizes:
First. The player making the highest number
OF pins in the tournament wins the club cham
cup. cut Of which was given in Saturday s
STAR.
Second. To the player making the next high
est number of pins in the tournament
Third. To the player making the highest in
dividual score in any one game in the tourna-
ment.
Fourth. To the player making the next high
est individual score in any one game In the
series. No player can wiz more than one prize.
The bowling committee. consisting of Jaco-
Du- =. Jones. JOnn L. fedrlck ana William NJ
Dove. deserve credit for the complete arrange
ments last night for the comfort both OF play
ers and lockers on. Chairs for visitors were
placed along both unused alleys and the space
for players was roped off so that they were not
interfered with by outsiders.
1t promises to be grand struggle. and will
grow more and more interesting and exciting
as the tourney goes on. Even the best judges
of bowling do not pretend to predict who the
winner will be, the contest last night showing
how evenly some of the men are matched, and
more especially showing how much good bowl
ing material there is in the club.
LAST NIGHTS BOWLING.
Some Of the scores made were excellent and
compare very favorably with scores made in
some of the games IN the crack tournaments
elsewhere.
Stephen Janus led the score. with 914 pins
TO his credit in the five games. He broke the
records of the alleys with a single game score of
224, which he made in the fifth game. The
record held by John Walker 223. In the
first two or three frames of the first games
James played a very shaky game, but warmed
up and then started off with a tremendous rush,
winding up his series of games seventy-eight
pins ahead of his nearest opponent.
In the NTH game the excitement ran very
high. James making six strikes and Dove, who
BOWED splendidly, making a like number of
strikes. four of them in consecutive order.

was unlucky, though with it all be finished only
thirty pins behind Dove. Dr. Fisher bowled
a good. steady uphill game, but the pace set by
the leaders was too hot for him to overtake them
before the call Of time. Some very difficult spares
were made and the plays literally applauded
and those of DIR. Fisher and Dove and Stone
are especially worthy Of mention.
DIR. Fishers spare, 6-7-9. Will Doves spare.
81. Stones. $40. Another of DR.. Fishers
spares & very difficult one and well played,
1-3-S-l0; another being 6-9-7.
Mr.. Heald, who was on the first assignment
and has been laid up during the past week with
a heavy cold, was unable to play last night. ex-
changing places with j. o. Harvey. who is on
the assignment for January 25 and who, not
withstanding the little practice he has had,
bowled, as did Stone. a very steady game.
The number of lookers-on was not large and
the fact that so few members of the club we're
present was commented upon. The games are
interesting and ought to have more encourage
ment from the other members OF the club.
