The annual tournament for the ndivid
ual championship of America was inau-
gurated last night on Thom's alleys with
three interesting competitions. All the
stars are entered, and the tourney will be
more exciting this year than at any time
since the event was first introduced. The
work was very creditable for he begin
ming and a large Grove witnessed the
opening series. The schedule has been
completed and games will be rolled until
the latter part of May three nights each
week. In the opening series Howell n
Rothermel. a new man in the competition,
drew lots. The latter put up a fair game,
but was not fast enough for the veteran,
and Howell won. He had a good average.
Stumpfel, the old Y. M. G. A. bowler, n
Rothermel got together in the second bat
tie, and, as expected. stumpfel won in
three straight. The final series was the
most exciting. the victory going to stump
fel in the fourth game. The scores were

The Horseshoe and Doolittle Clubs
rolled last night the first match of a
series on the Woods Hall alleys. The
event attracted a great deal OF interest
from the friendly rivalry that exists
among the members. The H~orseshoes
had some of the regular Doolittle mem
beers to help them out, but had very lit
tie chance of success. They We're up
against a hard game, and rolled far below
the Doolittle total, the latter winning
easily. The match was decided in two
sections of five men each, and with the
exception of Joe O'connell and Emil Mar

hind the average. The scores were
