DEFEATED AGAIN.
Racine of1cisls Forced to Yield the Bowl
ing Honors to the Kenosha omcials.

| ing Honors to the Kenosha oficials.
| On their own little alley, by a score
of p, was the story of the defeat of the
Official bowling team of Racine Tues
day night 10y the strong team composed
| of the officials of this city.
With two undisputed victories to
their credit the Kenosha bow1ers are
now claiming the championship of
everything in sight. For the past two
weeks the Racine team had been prac-
ticing on the Petersen alley and man
aged to learn every twist and turn on
the treacherous alleys, but all to no
avail The Kenosha men were not to
be slipped up in this manner and mig hit
after night members of the local team
have been going to Racine to get onto
the alley. But Racine realizing the
futility of their efforts to win, decided
to try foul methods and for the sole
purpose of adding a strong bowler to
their team, at the last meeting of the
Council David Griswo1d, editor of the
Racine Journal, was made a special
police without pay and his name was
at once added to the list of bow1ers.
But the officials of the Belle City had
| failed to reckon with the host which
| Kenosha would send to the contest and
the undefeated Dave only proved a
figure head in the game. Barney
Hermann was put against him and in
the words of Mr.. Doo1ey, when Barney
got through with the editor, she looked
like thirty cents. Dave is in disgrace
and he will undoubtedly be forced to
give up his star of honor and return to
| the old work of developing the minds
of the people and teach them the evils
of bowling.
The game last evening was far supe-
rior to the one played at Central Park
short time ago. On the way to RAJ
cine the mayor had instructed the
Kenosha team to keep all their
strength in reserve for the final in
ming of the game, and for this reason
when the game opened the Racine
people took decided lead.
In the first, second and third innings
the lead for the Belle City grew and at
the close of the third inning Reporter
Egans, of the News, was sent out to
order the flags run up and the band to
play.
Mayor German, however, wasn't
saying anything, but simply winked
his ''a1ter Ego and waited for the
last inning. AS the inning opened he
passed the word to the men in his
team, and from then on the carnage
was something awful. Racine in this
inning stood no more show than the
proverbia1 snow ball story. 1t may
have been that the Kenosha team had
been little slow before, but the way
that the pins dropped showed that
they had caught the word from the
mayor. Every ball that went thun-
dering down the alley brought returns,
and swe11ed the score for Kenosha.
Mayor Higgins tried to stop it by
ridicu1ing the score made by his ali
too strong opponents, but it didn't
work at ali, and went on with the mar
gin growing in favor of Kenosha. AS
the winning scores were being regis
tered a messenger was sent out to
order the flags down, and the members
of the band who had been waiting for
the signal, were sent home to bed.
When that terrible last inning was
finally over the scores were added and
the Kenosha team was found to be
twenty-five points to the good.
Barney Herman was the one partic-
ular star of the evening, and defeated
Griswo1d IA ringer) by score of 158 to
135. Herman's score was the largest
made by any player during the even
ing. The next highest score was made
by Alderman Korzi1ius, of Racine,
The score of the match follows:
