WITH THE BOWERS.
Duke Wins Twice In Woods Hall
Individual Tourney.

Archie Duke won twice last night in
the Woods Hall individual tournament,
and is now heading the list. His first
series was against Ryan and a little luck
had something to do with the result.
Ryan should have won on merit, but,
what is most important he didn't. the
pair went the entire five games. Duke
bowled ia in the deciding contest to beat
1874 by Ryan. 1t was a good contest and
was greatly enjoyed by the large crowd
present.
Gray got away with the second series
when Ryan was his opponent, but it was
a close call and a hot finish. The crack
from ST. Michaers tool the two games
with big margins. but he was rubbed
pretty hard in the third game when ne
got out by two pins with a score of 207.
Duke then met Gray and found him IN
hard luck and away off. Jack hit them
nice enough. but they would not fan.
The scores:-
