The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1901-12-07

| This week has been one Of unusual
| interest i'm bowling circles hereabouts.
| The bowling of the various clubs in
both leagues is getting better with each
| succeeding game. This is especially
true as regards the Northeastern
Pennsylvania League. Twelve OF the
| eighteen games rolled in that league
| this week We're above eight hundred
pins and the other six We're near the
eight hundred mark The Backus team
| came to the front with a rush by win
ming all three games from Green
Ridge last Monday, while the Elks
and West End wheelmen improved
their standing by winning two out of
three from the Scranton Bicycle club
| and Black Diamonds. respectively.
The changes made by Captain Reff1l
on the Elks team have undoubtedly
made the Elks one of the most formid-
able in the league. This fact was
thoroughly demonstrated last Monday
evening. when they took two OF the
three games rolled With the Scranton
Bicycle clubs last seasons champion
team. The new members on the Elks
team are Bartl and Madenspachar,
both old reliable bOwlers.
The Black Diamonds have secured
a new man in the person of Frank
Gould to fill permanently the place Oh
the team which has been vacant since
the organization of the team this sea-
son, having been filed by substitutes.
Mr. Gould is Il good consistent bowler
and will no doubt strengthen the
Diamonds.
Henry Dimler. of the Scranton Ei-
cycle club team seems to have gotten
into form. Dimler was out of the
game all last season which fact ac-
counts for his low scores previous tn
last Monday night, when he came 4"
the front with the excellent average
of 100 L., pins. Il total of 81 pins for
the three games.
BY far the most consistent team
bowling of the season was done by the
Buckus team Monday evening, the
team average for the three games be-
ing ia SO. with individual high aver
age 2O3, and low average l5S. A contin-
nation of this excellent work will sure
ly land the trophy.
The Green Ridge wheelmen bowled

Monday evening, but nevertheless lost
all three games. Two of their games
were over eight hundred but the Back
us boys were out to win and wouldn't
be stopped.
In all probability, the Electric City
wheelmen will be able to place a fair
ly good team in the field Immediately
upon the completion of their alleys,
their being several good boWlers
among the clubs members.
The personnel of the new Green Ridge
No. 3 team nj present is Wedeman,
Knapp, smith, Bliss and Dolph. This
team contains good material and with
a little team practice should give
good account of itself,
The best bowling done 50 far in the
club league occurred on the Green
Ridge No and West End No 3,
Green Ridge winning TWO out of three
with "A total ri ait2 pins against s39o
