WON TWO GAMES.
Apparently neither team could locate
the pins last night at Kirkwood, and
the ID team seemed unable to hit the
pins that they could occasionally see.
The ID team had four more men on
the alley than the C team, and thus
lost them the first game. If they had
all stayed away, they would have won
both the games on averages.
The following were the scores bowl
ed:
