The Independent Turner's and the I. B. c.

There was no intention on the part of the
Journal yesterday morning in the report of
the German-Ameriean-I B. c. game to
leave the Impression that the former team
stunned its club for the champions, when
the score was made to show that Sielken
and Kuhn played. This was a mistake The
names should have been Mueller and Knox,
Doth or whom are regular players on the
team. The game was won on the merits of
the German-American players.
1t has been said that the Lyras will have
an advantage over theSI. B. C.'s IL the de-
Gliding game of the tournament is played on
the Lyra alleys as scheduled. This is a
mistake. The games have been so arranged
that each club plays seven games on each
alley. Both the Lyras and l. B. C.'s have
played seven games on the Independent
Turner alleys and seven on the German
House alleys. but have played only six on
the Iyra alleys. Further, the T. B. C.'s use
the Lyra alleys for all their practice work,
and are as much at home there as are the
members of the Lyra team.
All the arrangements for the visit of the
local bowlers are enthusiastic over the treat
that is in store for them. The visitors will
come as the guests of the Columbia Bowling
Club. They will reach the city Wednesday
morning and will play three games during
the afternoon and three at night Thurs
day they will play three games during the
afternoon and three at night. Most Of the
games will be played against the Columbia
players, but by the way of variety it has
been arranged that a team shall be picked
from the Indianapolis Bowling League as
q whole, another from the Indianapolis
Bowling Club and another from the Lyras.
These three teams will meet the visitors in
one game each. The Brunswicke-B Bake
Company will put the portable alleys in
Tomlinson Hall Tuesday. 1t is claimed they
perior of all the local alleys. Wednesday
morning the visitors will be driven over the
city. and Wednesday night they will be
ban0ueted. FN
