the line should be sixty feet from the
front pin with an extra ten feet of run
way.
Emil Kuehn, VIM. Vollbrecht and J.
Ill. Schafer are trio OF old-time Turn
ers. They often refer to the good old
bowling days of the past. Emil used
to be authority on the game there years
ago.
Joe McAllister is undecided with
which team he expects 10 sign next
season. He has an offer from the
Alamos.
The Missions had among their team
this year, three of last years Casino
team-Rummel. Storms and Heuer-
man-and the ex-captain of the Turn
ers, Joe McAllister-a pretty strong
quartette.
The loss of VIII Deussen and Harry
Tolle to the Turner's was greatly felt
by that club this season.
Schenk, Rennert and Schuwirth are
set of plucky players and did their
share of good old hard bowling for the
Champs.
The Missions were somewhat Grip
pied by the loss OF George and VIII
| lcke. Both are considered good bowl
ers, especially the former, who was
their captain last year.
For novice Bert Wolfe has held mis-
own. He throws the smallest ball TO
be had, but it counts, just the same.
Max Schunke is generally looked up
on as the Government Hills best pick
err He has cinch on the right cor
ner. 3
Giesecke, Groos and Gittinger had
much to do with tieing the Champs.
They played the game like veterans.
Baetz, Holtz and Podewils are of the
never-give-up kind. They played the
| game to finish this year.
Rooter Cahen was missed at the
games this year but his place wah well
taken care of by others.
Otto Koehler, of the Alamos, plays
the kind of game that wins. The balls
on the full set-up are always effective.
Jake Cans and Charles Chabot We're
looked upon as the two luckiest bowl
ers in the league this year.
But three games We're postponed
during the entire season. They were
and Alamo Mission, a Casino-Ivy and
an Athletic-Governm Hill game.
And now comes a gentleman from
Mexico who wants to wager he can
| pick a team of twelve men from the
Casinos and conquer any team in the
city for five hundred dollars, on SOM
mers alley. 1t is said that a proml-
nent man is making arrangements to
| take him up.
The Ivys were the only team in the
| league which neither made a score
above the 300 mark or below the 200
mark.
Al. Dreiss did splendid work for the
Hayseeds this season. He cleaned out
many bad set-ups.
Lieutenant Frank Gioeckner is not
the only one who wears medals-ask
the jolly treasurer about ii.
| AT one time it was rumored that Cap.
tain Brian would be benched. This
proved TO be a mistake. One of the
| Missions recently said: "We would
| rather go down in defeat a hundred
times. than to act toward our captain
as some of the members OF other teams
have done. We elected him captain
and will stand by him throughout the
season-win or lose We know too
well that it takes nine men besides the
captain to win a game"
None of the younger bowlers have
done better work than Fred Mueller
| He is a good man on any team.
In bowling the same as in baseball
there are "has-beens." There were
some in the league this year and that's
no dream.
VIII the Casino Champions 90 to
New Braunfels this year and get de
| feated by team from that little burgI
| We don't think.
The recent tie game between the Ca
sinos and Ivys is the only one on re-
cord.
Captain Schaezler. John Legler and
Alderman Mueller have bowled many
games in their days and show very
plhinly that they are no novices.
Johnny Bitter changed the luck by
leaving before that tie game was de-
cided at Casino alley Thursday night.
Charles GutZeit and Fred Heubaum
bowled in good form throughout the
season.
Junior Huntress surprised his friends
in the Mission-Hayseed contests. It's
pity he wasn't given a trial before.
The silver cup this year is a decided
Improvement over the banner which
the Turner's captured last year.
One hundred and twenty bowlers
were signed to participate in this years
contest. A rafting good team of ten
men. 10 90 against Austin or Galveston,
could be picked from that lot.
New alleys are TO be built at Turner
hall, Mission garden, Harmony club
and Piper's hall. If they come up to
the Sommers' alley they will be all
right This alley is by far the best
in the city. Muth's alley is also good
one.
Right after the holidays" says Pres
ident Morris Smith, of the Ivy Social
club, I'VE are going to organize from
the male members of our club, what
will be called the Ivy Bowling club. We
will practice regularly during the off
season, so that we will be in good shape
for the next tournament"
One of the best bowlers In the city,
Capt. +. Vogel, has just returned from
