CURRENT SPORTING NEWS

Out of the west there came to Washing
ton yesterday a team Of bowlers whose
fame as experts had spread Washington
ward many weeks ago. This aggregation,
known as the All Stars. have bowled the
country Ger during the months of this
year and steadily enough have captured the
principal portion of the contests. Defeat has
seldom come their way, and yesterday it
approached them not at all. Only once in
the six contests between these giants of
the wooden sphere and those local knights
of the lignum vitae-the Golden Eagles
did the visitors come even within the range
of the home teams guns; this was in the
final contest of the afternoon series, and
this game was lost to the Washington lads
by thirty pins. In each of the other games,
both afternoon and night. the Stars won.
The visiting team is made up of the rep
resentative bowlers of a number of differ-
ent cities, and yesterday no two men were
from the same place They a clever
set of gentlemen, clean lot of athletes
as have ever appeared in the local arena.
They gave constant and continual proof of
their skill at the game, and observant local
players, who were present, must have dis
covered many things about their style of
play which will prove beneficial to them.
One thing, though, the visitors not
inclined to do, apparently; this was the
making of fancy exhibition shots. In the
evening series they were unfortunate in
the matter of splits and several times OPP
portunities were presented for difficult spare
work. They did not accept the chances,
and the spectators were greatly disappoint-
ed thereby.
The local men were evidently played out
by night, for their games were much better
in the afternoon. At night Manager Brandt
changed his team repeatedly in the hope
of a Strengthening, but to no avail. Had
the entire team bowled as did Armstrong
the tale would. of course, have been differ
ent; but one man could not do it all. In
the last of the sixth game a determination
to win overlook the Eagles. and they play
ed in very excellent form for the principal
part of the game. In this game. too. the
visitors fell off in their work. so that the
Eagles opportunity at hand. But they
fell to pieces toward the end and lost as
before. The scores of the games follow:
