Inc teams or t1e Mozart turnament
start on the nome stretch next week
and the battle between the last divis-
ion clubs promises to be a warm one
The games OF the past week were not
particularly interesting as favorites
came together and without much troub-
lie.
Tuesday the Indians and Henry
Georges came together and with the ex-
ception OF the first game Detty's crowd
won three games hands down. In the
first trial, however, the Georges put up
a splendid article of ten pins and
came very close to taking the match,
but the OSceolas finished strong, win
ming by the narrow margin of 10 pins,
after hair-raising tenth frame.
The second and third games were
devoid of interest, as the Red Men won
as they pleased.
The same evening the Rough Riders
galloped over the Columbias in a way
that was distressing. The Center
Wheeling boys bowIed very good games
though and are improving in their
work each week, but the cow-pInchers
were too strong for them s1d took all
the games. For an entirely green team
the Columbus have p'ade an unusual
ly good showing. Not, of course as con-
Germs games wor, but their bowling
now compared with the gait they start
ed with, is really TO be marvelled at.
Another season of such improvement
and Capt Mitchells boys will be
factor in the race.
it is a safe prediction that they will
finish the season with good 800 aver
age, which Is an increase of 100 pins.
Friday the games held over from
Monday night were rolled off and fur
nished the best sport Of the week.
The Kobs met the All Alike and like
Caesar, Capt. Main can say, "Veni, Vi
d, vici.'
In only one game were the All
Alikes dangerous, and this one they
gave the Stars such a good score that
the Farmers went like the cars in the
succeeding game, never allowing
Arndt's crowd to get within a mile
of them
Notes work for the Grenadiers was
superfne. His total for the three
games was Go.
end with totals of SAG and 55S, respect
lively.
The same evening the c. c. C. and
Benwood came together with a smash.
The first and second games were bat
ties royal and the Cyclers only sue
ceeded in winning after the hottest
kind of finish. Luck cut quite fig
ure in these contests and Fortuna
smiled with favor on the efforts of
Weitzel's boys. In the second game
Landers' novices had the game we'll in
hand until the tenth frame, but the
gods were not with the smoke-town
crowd, and the wheelmen came out
i'll front with but slight margin to
spare, however The last game was
a runaway for the C. c. c., who came
close to 1100
The bowlers are very much interest
ed in the Sunny Brook club outing.
Eext Wednesday, as the members of
this popular organization are old bowl
ers and have extended a special invi-
tation to the lignum vitae tossers, and
as an inducement offer a splendid re-
gulation ball and bag as prize for
high score. This will no doubt bring
up big crowd of bowlers, who will
go after that ball tooth and toe nail.

Monday-W. B. R. R. VS.. Henry
