The entire and exact official results could
not be obtained last night. some of the
contests being so close. A complete record
of each player in the tournament will ap-
pear in The Star on Monday evening, show
ing the winners of the six prizes.
1t can be stated. however, that Kicker
wins the championship by about 80 pins;
that apparently Stone leads Jones for sec
ond place by two or three pins; that Moses
leads Perry in the greatest number Of
strikes by one, barring first, second and
third man. under the rules. and that there
Is tie between Kicker and Mason for the
greatest number of spares (55). Phil Cake
made the highest individual score COD in
the tournament, and thereby wins the
fifth prize. The prize for spares is a spe-
bowling ball and bag, donated by Mr.
Remus F. Foster, a friend of the club.
Should the exact and official figures show
a tie. the matter will probably be decided
by Kicker and Mason bowling a certain
Eumbers Of games, and taking into account
the spares made in such extra games.

SOME INTERESTING CONTESTS

Despite its indisputable monotony, bowl
ing holds the interest of its devotees with
as much firmness and consrancy as the
Scotchman shows for mis- favorfte sport. In
fact, the old saying that "once golfer. al
ways a golfer" might well be appropriated
by the enthusiasts of the wooden sphere.
The game Is essentially an American one,
though its parentage may be traced to the
Er gHsh, bowls" a game more like curling
or shuttle board than the American imita-
ticn. While bowling has met with little
favor outside of this country, and Is played
extensively in few parts even here. the
boom it has received within the last five
years has convinced the most skept'cai OF
it's permanency.
Spectators are almost unknown to bowl
Ing. and interest is only aroused by actual
participation in the sport. Few cHiookers
are seen at even the most important match
es, and the monotony of the play Is I'M
doubtediy responsible for this fact. Hence
the game has practically no professional
aspect, and keeps its place among the other
purely amateur pastimes.
One popularity of the game Is that the
greatest monotony lies in the most expert
playing, and that which requires the great

The Washington Chess Club Is debating
the question whether 1t Is better to in
augurate summer minor tournament, or
to postpone such serious work until the
fall, and thus leave the summer season
open for a series of brief individual and
consultation matches, and those pleasant
team contests with other organiza tons,
which are crowded out during the progress
of the regular tournaments. The attend
ance at the club is large, and the prospects
for a good fall season are excellent. Last
evening there were seven or eight tables
going, and the room was well filed until
after 10 o'clock. Late next week Mr.. F.
J. Lee an English chess master, will be
the guest of the club, on his way north
from New Orleans. He has an enviabie
record, and his coming is an event. He
will probably give two exhibitions of stimuli
taneous play. The club extends an invi-
tation to chess players who are not MEM
bers to call at the club rooms during Mr..
Lees visit to watch. his play or to par
ticipate in the simultaneous play. He may
also meet some VI, the expert amateurs in
friendly matches, although nothing is def
nitely settled. This policy Of the club in
securing the attendance of noted players
has resulted in eiigreat stimulation of the
general interest IN the game.
The checker teprnamspt is progressing
to a conclusion. Mr. Mc91arde is seriously

Some Of the common spares, which look
easy at first glance when the dead wood Is
cleared away, are very. deceptive. Notable
among these Is one illustrated here, and
others offering the same formation Of three
pins. A strike ball will almost invariably
leave the second pin of such combinations
In Just the same way that the liking pin"
will be found standing alone after a side
ball which has hit the head pin a little too
thin. These spares must be made by hit
ting the first pin quite full, though not d.
rectly in the center, else the last pin will
remain standing.
But precepts for spare bowling are not
very valuable and actual experience is the
only practical teacher. The study of just
such deceptive combinations of pins for
the spare ball, taken with the vigorous and
nealtnful exercise and the strong spirit of
competition which always enters into the
sport-in contradistinctlon to the game-is
the fascination which the favorite pastime

Spare. of the combinations
of pins can be made in more than one way,
some study is often required beside the
mere accuracy of delivery.
The side and curved balls have been
most widely adopted by good bowlers as
less likely to produce bad splits" than the
old center ball, which is rolled straight
down the middle Of the alley to either side
Of the head pin. The one danger that
must be avoided above all others is plough
ing through the center Of the pyramid of
pins and leaving some on either side of the
alley. This is the tendency of the center
ball when it strikes the head pin too full,
and the result Is that it leaves either the
most difficult or impossible spares. The
side or curved ball. on the other hand,
almost invariably clears one side of the
alley when it fails of a strike. and the
remaining pins generally offer an easy
spare. The chances of a strike from the
