HeadQuarterS

-
fitting finale to the bowling tourna-
ment on Foley's alleys was the pre-
sentation of the prizes, which occurred
in the main bowling hall last night
There were present the members of the
1nV1ncible SUBMITS, which team won
first place, and a generous gathering
of the BroadwayS, whose superb work
enabled them to, shatter all previous
records and stand next to that which
is justly termed the best bowling team
in America. The BroadWayS bear the
distinction of being the only team in
the tournament which defeated the
SUBMITS a game and were compliment
ed for it in the various little speeches
made during the evening. Harry T.
Black was to have made the speech and
formally present the prizes, but being
unavoidably detained, he sent a written
address which was read to the gather
ing by the sporting editor of the
q o e. Following the presenta ton
the bowlerS were rendered a compli-
mentary supper by Mr.. Foley and
merriment reigned until late hour,
The prizes were gold and enameled
buttons OF elegant workmanship, five
going to the Submits, five to the
BroadWays and one to Capt Adams,
of the Lafayettes, who had the honor to
make the highest Individual score Of
the tournament, 238. 70 ~
Those members of the SUBMITS to
whom the honor and credit of victors
is due are: Capt. William A. Gerber,
George HI. Tubbesing, w. B. Hastings,
Edward J. Muggly and George II.
Nettleton.
Those of the Broadways who were
the recipients of prize buttons were:
Capt. Finehout, William Shugard,
E. Gill and Charles Ehrmantrautt.
Previous to the presentation Mr..
Blacks admirable address was read
as follows:
To the Bowlers of the Foley Teams
Though [ find at the last moment
it will be impossible to accede to the
request of Mr.: Foley and formally
present the gold buttons his enterprise
and generosity have furnished and
your skill and training have won, yet
L will, with your permission, avail
myself of this opportunity to say a
few words which it gives me great
pleasure to express and you an equal
delight, [ trust, to hear Some one
else will better speak the words with
which the trophies of your winters
campaign on the alleys will be given
to your possession, but 1 wish to con-
graduate you upon your share of the
effort by which legitimate sport in ST.
Paul has been raised to its present high
plane; for your share in the result
by which it is known all over the
city that man may be a bowler or
a billiardist and still be a gentleman:
that when the term ''sporting'' is used,
it may, when applied to those games
over which Mr. Foley presides, be un-
fln TOO TO
healthful, morally and physically, ex-
ercise of those qualities of the strong
arm, the true eye and the un-
waVering nerve that mark the
thoroughbred sportsman. Thanks to
the reputation your teams have al
ways borne and to the wholesome i'm
petuS given by Mr.. Foley to all of the
manly branches of legitimate sport,
the time has gone by in st. Paul when
to be known as a good bowler or an
expert billiard player carries with it
any trace of moral or social degrada-
ton. To this desirable end you have
contributed no little, and as one en-
tirely familiar with public sentiment
and well situated to observe it's trend,
[ congratulate you. 1t would be
gross remission on this occasion to
omit to extend praise where praise is
due in another direction. l am sure
you will join with me in according to
so Justly and fully entitled for his un-
selfish efforts in behalf of true sport
1t is no small thing, in his long ca
reer, to have preserved untarnished
his priceless reputation for the most
answering fairness and honesty and
no higher plane of honor could be
fixed in all of your competitive games
than that which you may we'll call
the Foley standard. Ardent in adj
miration, though poor in execution, of.
the game of which you are the best
exponents in the city, I further con-
graduate you upon the perfection and
extent to which you have carried IL
and express the belief confidently that
no city in the United States can fur,
nish twenty bowlers your equals in,
the free-hand delivery, thirty-ba
game.
Each recipient of prize responded
to the call for a speech, in which
many pleasant words were said CT Mr..
Foley, who has led the game to such
successful conditions in the Northwest.
