THE SPORT LOSES NONE OF ITS
POPULARITY IN THIS TOR
RID WEATHER.
THE MOZART TOURNAMENT
Continues Along Very Successfully
With n Great Deal of Interest
Manifested Among the Competing
TeaIns-Resume of the Competing
During the Past Week-Standing
and Averages of Teams.

While there were no changes in po-
sitionS during the past week of the
Summer Bowling Tournament, vet yEe
result of the weeks play caused
closing up at the head of the list.
BY defeating the w. B. r. R. three
games the Carroll Club Cyclers gained
position one game behind the lead
ers, and consequently the Rough Rid
ers' hold on first place is not a very
good one. The Cyclers, with the ex-
coptfon of Mr.. Stubbles, were in splen-
did form and rolled in prize winning
style. AT hardly any stage of the con-
tests were the wheelmen in danger.
Capt. Schmids exhortations were in
vain. His men were doing their best
and met defeat by reason OF being out
rolled and out-lucked. The Buffalos
took their medicine very gracefully.
The Korn Kobs continued their win
ming streak by taking three from the
Henry Georges. The Kobs were err
'tirely too strong for "Pickett's Lumi-
naries, and 1T was hardly a contest.
with the exception of the first game.
In the opening match the Georges
rolled very well, but were never really
dangerous. They seem to have faallen
off greatly in their work and it would
be advisable for Capt. Pickett to gin
ger EN- up a little. Emblem was in
magnificent form, and by his splendid
work has attained an average Of over
$50. Capt. Pickett led the Georges
with total of Ala
The next evening the meeting be-
tween the All Alikes and Beawood at
tract nH To-
games were very holly contested.
Arndts men had blood in their eyes,
however, and chased the Pirates down
the hill after taking three games from
them. The opening trial was easily
taken by the Grenadiers, but in the
second heat the Pirates had recovered
their nerve and went after the soldiers
TO beat the cars. 1t was a battle royal
from start TO finish, and in doubt UNI
nI the score was announced. Just TO
demonstrate that they were not quar-
ter horses the Grenadiers came back
with the handsome total of ,009 while
the Pirates raised their ante to $50.
Benwood was very confident as to
the result of the series, and conse-
quently there is a shrinkage in the
money market of Smoketown.
Tuesday evening having been select
ed as practice night for the Indians
they invited the Columbia boys to
help defray expenses. Being charitable
chaps the 3-6-9 crowd accommodated
their dusky brethren. The ball open
ed by Detweiler's braves taking the
nrst game. And to see if it could be
done again, they took the second game.
Fearing that the surprise of winning
would cause either an epidemic OF
heart disease or fits among the So
Gers. the kind-hearted Osceolas very
generously purloined the last game of
the evening. There being nothing
else doing the meeting adjourned I'M
til Monday, July 9th, when the Korn
Kobs meet the Osceolas and the Roug-
Riders try conclusions with Benwood
AS a sort of continuous performance
the Henry Georges and Columbia will
go cnree rounds to a finish, followed
by an aereonautic exhibition with the
ALI Alikes and c. c: c., as candidates
for the ascension honors.
