The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1901-01-29
PRELIMINARY

~ was lying shot, and his second stone
Was about as far from the tee as Bob's
nearest. Lem Defiel and w r. Dorr
began to measure the distances, and
while they We're so engaged Cunningham
came up the ice, and, thinking the mat
ter settled. kicked Lightner's stone to
Ole side. Dorr Immediately claimed the
point as he was entitled to do, and the
NuShka rink was two in the lead. This
was not long maintained, for on the fol-
lowing erd Dunbar secured three and
was never thereafter headed Two or
three times the St Paul clubs crack
built some very pretty ends and seemed
certain of making large head. On these
occasions Lightner, who throughout
showed that he had draw weights down
fine, came up, and with a long draw
would curl in and deprive his antagonist
of a sensational score.
In the eleventh Bob made his men pro-
tect perfectly, and as a splendid guard
slid into position, Rev. DR.. McGregor re-
marked to Dunbar: 81 am afraid you
have no mercy in your heart Bob was
too busy to answer at the the. The
winning rink receives, in addition to the
trophy, four exceedinly handsome gold
topped umbrellas, valued at SIS each,
wholesale. Score by ends:

LOW SCORES IN POINTS.
The points competition was practically
over when the last of the men to so
through last night were done. From the
start it was a mere burlesque. The ice

decent scores were impossible At the
risk of seeming vain repetition it must
be chronicled that the inevitable Dun
bar made the high score, and at that
it was the lowest he has ever made. Out
of q possible 70 his mark was a beggar-
~ 30. Tom Cameron made Is and is sec-
ond, while Dugald, of Macarthur, with
&C. is sure of a prize. Even SO reliable
a curler as Frank Mccarthy was forced
to be content with Is, and George Gun
ninghamS total was the magnificent fig
ure of y. George is high for the nrize
for lead player, but he declares that he
cannot think Of accepting one with sc
meagre a score. Sam Hastings is fairly
high with 49, while others run all th6
| way from to H. The man who made
shall remain nameless, as there is nc
provision for a BOBBY prize. He is, how
ever of opinion that under favorable
circumstances he can increase his S-oIe
500 per cent and even then he would moi
qualify for a prize,as three players have
| exceeded that score under the existing ex.
asperating condition of the ice.
