to last night in the games rooiled In the
individual championship tournament at
Woods Hall, the work was of a very hlgh
grade, and pleased a large gathering, who
appreciated the excellence of the playing.
Duke met Perlmutter in the start and
when they came out to bowl in the nrst
series they found a large crowd of spec
tators. Duke was not up to the previous
record, but he was bowling a very strong
game and was a big favorite. Joe won
the first by passing 200 and then had a
very small margin and had the satistae-
ton of being defeated in the second
game with 233, which Duke rolled anna
a thunder of applause. Duke won the
third game by one pin. In the fourth
won out by ten pins and got
234 in the rubber, which gave him the
series.
The second series placed Duke against
Wright, and on form this should prove
one of the best games of the tournament
Duke took three games straight wright
bowled fairly we'll, but was a disappolnt-
ment in the series. He got back, though,
in good shape in the last series when ne
rolled Perlmutter and put up a few good
scores. He won the first, second, ana
fourth games with good margins. The

LITTLE CYCLING ON BOULEVARD
Bicycle Cop Says It's Due to the Bad
Roads.

An officer of the bicycle squad, station
ed on the Boulevar, said last evening
that there are very few scorchers on the
Boulevard nowadays. He said that the
road is in such a bad condition that few
will risk fast riding. He also said that
the number of cyclists who have been in
the habit of frequenting the Boulevard,
has greatly fallen off, which fact he
also attributes to the condition of the
road.
The officers are still wearing winter
uniforms. The warm weather. of late has
made life miserable for them.
