For Bachelor, Mr.. H. f. Kuncken.
At the Catholic Club alleys the team
tournament received a hard blow last
night and the interest has collapsed COM
pletely. Only two games We're rolled, the
other four being decided by forfeit. IN
meme of these games did either Of the
eight teams have a full membership. The
result is a great disappointment to the
managers of the event, and will be the
last tournament that will be BOWED at
the alleys this season. In previous years
the competitions lave been keen right up
to the finish, and Director Relish cannot
understand why this year should be an
exception. In the game between teams
D and G the latter Increased its position
bv winning after a spirited race by Ii
pins. Farrell and Cathcart were high.
The game between teams a and T was
won by the former by 36 pins. In the
contest scheduled between teams G n
K only one member of the former APP
peared n X won by default. The team
rolled for average, and put up a score of

reason as in the previous game. Only
two of the members of E were on hand.

He insisted on arranging a date, and

the opening sermon Of the season at
