BIG WHIST CONGRESS MEETS

Three lively meetings in the two men
tournament We're held last night on
Woods Hall alleys, and there was a large
crowd on hand to witness the sport. The
three competitors were Apman and Ryan,
Chamberlain and Lawrence and Heye
and Tasch. IAN have large f~ollowings and
a great numbe of outsiders expected hot
times when they met, especially Cham
!, berlain and Lawrence against Tasch and
Heye. Z These teams have not been seen
much in the lower section of the city and
many gathered to see if they were worthy
their reputation. All left satisfied OF the
fact.
Chamberlain and Lawrence We're pitted
against Tasch and Heye in the first series
and it was highly interesting. The latter
team not won up to this point, and
they needed that series in their business
SO they went at it with a strong deter
animation to win if possible, and they did
so. The first game was a hard one n
was won in the last four frames by Tasch
and Heye by 20 pins. Heye got 1879.
Apman and Ryan then came out against
Chamberlain and Lawrence, and the latter
pair won the series. The first game was
q walk over. and was won by 81 pins.
Lawrence was worth 215. In the second
game Apman and Ryan were again
swamped, and all through Lawrences ell
forts. He made the highest score of the
rname in the game, 234. He had an
average of 100 for foul games of 24 for
the last two.
Apman and Ryan then met Heye and
Tasoh in the last series and it was a good
race. The first game was a most exclt-
sng one and was won by Apman and Ryan
by IA pins after a fast finish. The pair
from the Hill was TOO much for the
Horseshoe representatives in the second
fhird game was necessary. The deciding
game Saw Heye and Tasch doing a great
turn with the pins. They BOWED IKE
