Although The Dalles players did all in
their power to win in the bowling con-
test they were unable to cope with the
famous luck and science of the Multno-
nah and Road Club players or defeat
the Astoria team. The total number of
pins made in the twelve games was
2503, while Multnomah made 1906, the
Road Clubs total was 1884 with Astoria
20 pins less. Our players did not take
the necessary practice since the warm
weather set in and considering every
thing they did as well as could be ex-
pected.
Bowling at the club is still lax, owing
principally to warm weather and the
large number of bowlers who are out of
the city. In the early part of the week
some bowling was done by the members
of the team which took part in the
tournament at Astoria. Their high
scores were as follows: Monday, Hough-
ton, so; Tuesday, Ballard, 81; Wednes-
day, Schmidt, So. As usual Maetz led
at the Umatilla House alleye, with the
highest daily scores for six days, and an
average score of Sc. His scores were

make up the shortage during the sum-
mer season.
A large number of local sports went
into the country Sunday morning after
prairie chickens. The day, however,
was unusually cool, which caused the
birds to remain on the hills and in the
grain field rather than seek shelter in
the canyons and near the springs and
watering places. For this reason many
of the nimrods were disappointed in moi
getting the usual amount of birds.
