the last week shows the Crescents as
having taken two from the Buckeyes
on Monday night This was quite a
surprise from the fact that Capt.
CoIeman's boys were unable to take
three from the tailenders as one
would naturally suppose they were
able to do But then the present
Buckeye team is a much stronger
team than when they first started out
so, that now the team that takes
three straight from the Buckeyes can
Justly consider themselves as lucky.
Tuesday. night the long looked for
and much talked of games between
the leaders, the Colts and Tom
Moores, took place. Twice before
had these two teams come together
and both times the Moores managed
to win the odd game. This fact,
however, did not lead the Moores to
think that their opponents were easy
for them, as is clearly shown from the
fact that the Moores got out the
strongest team they have ever had,
rolling five men and blind. The
Colts also showed that they were out
to win by getting out their full team
which included Charley RAIDER, who
had not bowled with them for some
time. That RAIDERS presence was ap-
preciated was fully shown by the
glad hand which was given him by
the audience on his making his ap-
pearance That the confidence repos-
ed by the audience in RAIDER was full
ly Justified was clearly shown by his
bowling in his old time form, he av-
eraging 173.
The games started off with the Colts
setting a terrific pace, which their
opponents tried hard to keep up with,
double headers were indeed common,
and the first game wound up with
four two hundred scores. The
Moores men Handlan with 235 leading
for the Moores with Marschner sec
ond with POS. For the Colts Emblem
with 203 led and Bickmeyer with 200
was second. In adding up the bunch
it was found the Colts had indeed
done themselves proud getting a
handsome total of 1888, beating their
opponents ~ pins. The second game
opened up with the Colts getting split
after split, while their opponents
moved them down in great shape,
finishing I'D with a total of 1,070, and
beating the Colts out of 10S pins. In
this game Handlan had continued
his grand work of the first game by
getting q score OF 22S.
1t was now case of even Stevens"
and the large crowd awaited inpatient
ly for the last game to start. Finally
they started and few frames served
to show that the Colts had again set
a terrific pace, while their opponents
didn't seem to be able to catch them
right Capt. Emblems boys continued
to NOW them down with great "eclat'
and the large crowd cheered them
again and again as they continued their
fine work, never stopping until they
had their opponents beaten by 121 pins,
the Colts getting LOAF to the Moore's
$780, In individual work it is hard to
mention any particularly bright work
as it was case of great team work, "
all the boys bowling good scores and
never losing their nerve. On the other
hand the Moores seemed unable to
bowl together, some of their best bow
lers getting very poor scores. The
victory of the Colts naturally created
a great amount of talk in ''Bowlerdom, "
Is it has long been conceded that the
Moores always had very strong team
and the fact that the Colts trimmed
the very best that the Moores had, nat
urally leads one to the conclusion that
the Colts are the real thing, which
they undoubtedly are.
Friday Negler, the Lenox, as was ex-
pected, trimmed the Sanatels three
straight, the Lenox boys again rails
ing their average and showing that
they have pretty fair team.
