Golden Eagle Club nowlers.
II the Golden Eagle Club bowlers had
started in on the season in the shape in
which they have bowled in the past month
the team would now be considerably
nearer the top than it is. 1t had consid-
cradle hard luck. it is true, hut it seemed
10 take SO long to get into steady team
woTk and that may account for its show
iRg.
The addition of Ludwig helped the team
considerably aEd his clever bowling has
mad much to do with the improvement in
oeam showing.
Young Brandt has proven the surprise
Of the season. He is of very slender
build and not very strong, but his work
mas been Of high order. He has an av-
erage of 162.15.
Brown. too, has proven his ability to do
good, consistent work and he may always
be relied upon fer good stiff total on
an evenings games. He is the tenth
man in league standing, with an average
Of 166.27.
Individual Standing.
Ludwig is the sixth in standing and
shows an average of 1876. He still holds
| the league record for high individual game
with 23S. Cott and Stitt are the other
members of the team who are doing
splendid work. and in the last games with
the Saengerbund their averages were OF
The highest order. Their respective aver
ages in league standing are 1926 and
16011.
The team stands second in team aver
ages with Sl7.S. and until fortnight ago
it lead with the highest game score, 1858
but the CAROLS topped it with 972.
The games the team played with the
CAROLS last Wednesday night, and OF
which it won two. were among the most
exciting of the season. The result places
the team on a tie with Y. NJ. c. a.
Shiman is a new addition to the team
who promises we'll. and will undoubtedly
materially help tIc team to move well
up in the league race for honors.
