The interest IN the bowling t0lrna-
ment for the DAILY GLOBE SOLID silver
and gold mounted tankard is unaoated.
The first half OF the series was cOmplet-
ed Friday evening, when Capt. Nettle-
toms newspaper boys went to their thlrd
defeat in the series. The averages or
the clubs compared with the percent
ages only accentuate the assertion so
often made in these columns, that In
every modern paStime Of skill there Is
not a game in which the element of luck
is such a great factor. Without being
personal, for there is no reason why the
play of any candidate for the GLOBE
emblem should be compared with that
of any other. all one has to do he
must be Il bowler himself, else he
would be totally unable to judge-is to
sit through some of the tournament
games and watch the results. 10 get
ten-strike correctly the wooden Spner9
should cut into the king pin about half
full. If it cuts less it is lucky scratch
that one or two pins are not left on the
sQuarely in the nose OF the king pin 1t
is a scratch, also if pins are not left
standing, and ordinarily it should leave
q split. But, despite this, there are
boWlerS who seem to be favored by
Fate. No matter where they hit the
king pin a ten-strike is assured. That
is the reason that some bowlerS get an
or 9 in different frames and 30 IN
others. In the first Instance they miss
the king pin, and in the other Instance
they have the luck to make ten-strll1eS
sequentially without q scientific ten
strike delivery.
