bowiers In the Seattle Athletic Club. is
authority for the statement that the gen
erai work Of the active bowiers ~ The club
this year shows an Improvement OF at
least Il neF cent over that Of a year past.
II ~ difficult matter 20 proceed from this
point 20 figure out the relative difference
between the Seattle. Tacoma and Port
land bowlers owing 10 the difference IN the

among bowIers IN the Pacific Northwes.
that the scores made on the s. A. G.. alleys
are lower than those In the other cities.
because their construction does away with
the percentage of Incidents that tend 10
increase the scores. There is no question.
however. that the Portland bowiers are
ahead 81 those Of Tacoma and Seattle.

He IL the father OF the American cooked
hat game in this section and has done
more 10 make h popular than any other
dozen men. He is interchangeable in his
efforts. Al the present time Mr.. Mallory
leads the Mu'tnomah bowiers with an av-
erage Of ATS In forty-five games. The
best average that the s. A G. can show at
present is that Of Tom Bowes who has
held up 80 81 In IA games. Perhaps the
comparison Is not exactly fair as Eowes
has bowled 100 games more than Mr.. Nal
loiy, Mulinomah has five or six more
men that average 10 or over.
