son. and several started, but only one
series has been finished. That is the
series of four flve-string matches be-
tween the Infants and Casinos, in
which the former won by three pins
The Casinos are deprecating their lack
4ofsjudgment in their failure to prac-
tice at Whites alleys for the first match
which undoubtedly lost them the VIC
{. tory. Three of the men never rolled a
bah on the alleys until the night of
the match. They were beaten by 1866
( pins, the three men falling to roll any
thing like their usual game.
Bates. Loomis and Orr of the Cast
= nos alone participated in all the
matches. and of the Infants, the only
ones were Mason, Southworth and
( Lohnes Orr led in everything. He
( tipped 1926 pins in his 20 games, giving
him an average of 9l.3, which Is unusu-
ally good rolling. 1t is the more so as
Z he rolled poorly at Whites in the first
match, he being one of the men who
never rolled on the alleys previously
Hetrolled Ave games of 100 or over, the
s scores being no. 10S, 104, 100, 100. Bates
got LOG and LOOMS 102 Only one of
the Infant trio that took part in all the
games got above the century mark.
Mason rolled 102. A. Fred White is
nominally leader He rolled in the
last match Of the series with abe In
fants, making f1ve-string total of ASH, !
an average of ola, a shade better, than
the average Orr made in 20 games. |
White got Ill in a single string, which |
is high. Orr deserves the credit of /
leading, however, on account of the (
number of games he rolled. ms
OF the regulars, Lohnes is neNts'to |
Orr, with 1707 pins in 20 games, an av-
erage of S5.35. Mason was next with /
total of 1706, pin less than Lohnes /
