A review Of the past week in bowl
erdom demonstrates that a board OF
strategy in connection with a bowling
club is not exactly a bowling success.
To the wise ones, Il looked as though
the c. c. c. crowd should take at least
two games from the Osceolas. but the
Indians a an awful bunch of strikes
and spares up their sleeves. and sprang
a surprise on the Cyclers by beating
them a majority OF the games. One or
two 10 spectators were unkind enough
10 raise their voices above a whisper.
and the result was an epidemic OF
heart failure" in the ranks of the
wheelmen.
We would like to see the lungs OF
an Oseeola rooter. We feel sure that
a lifelong position in a compressed
air plant is awaiting each and every
one OF them. Lewey and Mr.. Browne
will vouch for this assertion. Capt
Vain has evidently dug up some fam
lily archives treating of the science OF
the game of bowls" and the willy
captain has proited by the teaching
of the a~ncients. as his colts demon
strated. They made ducks and
brakes" OF the Columbia club-some-
thing that hadn't occurred for an entire
week. The Kobs put up an article of
ten pins that would be mighty hard
TO duplicate. Thirty hundred and
ninety-one pins for three games
jumped them from second to first po-
sitlon in team average. RAIDER was
only six pins short of two hundred
average, and set a mark for the high
score that will probably stand for a
while. He knocked down Pa pins in
his third game. Bardy. a new one.
made 523 pins total. and he will likely
be found in the regular list OF the Kob-
bers in the future. On Tuesday even
ing there wal enough breath wasted
to make q sample" size cyclone. The
Pirates followers were out in force,
while the Buffalos' admirers were out
in "forcer."
Benwood has had bad running for
the past couple OF weeks, but Tuesday
they ran into a snap. Capt. Pickett
brought his pets down ( feed on
the poor Eewlers from smoke-town.
Tut Laadcrs boys turned the tables on
taen. N a way that was distressing.
The Benwood crowd went like scared
hounds and beat the Georges a mile
each trial.
1t reminded one OF Billy Bakers
description of the man who had been
suddenly and Unexpectedly "smeared'
back of the ear. The Carroll club siue
show looked as though a cyclone had
called on Il. These Carroll club teams
are having tough s~ledging. But the
| Henry Georges were not the only suf-
ferers that evening.
Capt. Sehmid sent his Rough Riders
into the ranks OF Arndt Grinadiers and
beat them like breaking sticks"
Nothing could stop the rush OF the
Buffalos. Col. Arndt tried formations
OF ell kinds. but his efforts were I'M
availing. From the terrible effect or
the charges OF Rough Riders they must
have used mushroom bullets or dropp-
ed a few lydidite shells into the camp OF
the Grinadiers. After the smoke OF
battle had cleared away the kinete-
scope showed three victories for the
Rough Riders.
This places the w. b. II. r. In nrst
position, followed closely by the Car
roll Club. The osceolas are running a
good third. but have their weather eye
on the Kobs who are right behind
them and only one game back. Ben
wood is on the same footing as thu
Kobs.
They are alike. Henry George and
Columbia follow In the order named.
