The Jacksonville Bowling Club and
a team of the Georgia Hussars played
a match of four games of bowls last
night, in which all records, both for
individual and for team play in Sa-
vannah, were smashed. not once but
several times. Jacksonville carried off
the honors, but the Hussars have the
satisfaction of knowing that their
before been equalled by a Savannah
team in a match.
In the first game, the Hussars were
unable to get their eyes on the king
pin, which fact, coupled with bad for
tune in way of getting splits, and an
other disheartening fact, that their
opponents were piling strike on strike,
and making spares in between times,
prevented the local men from making
much in the way of a score, that for
the game being but TAI. But in the
next game they pulled themselves to-
gether and made a few strikes and
spares themselves. Brewer alone, in
this game making seven strikes and
three spares, scoring a total of 223,
which ties the best record made in
match play in the Tri-Club League. a
record that is held by Stein Bryan.
Gordon Saussy, also. did excellent
bowling in this game, piling five con-
secutive strikes on each other, and
making in all a total of 1879, while
Quantock, Richmond and Remler swell
ed the total for the game to 1888, higher
by one pin than any total ever scored
in the Tri-Club League.
For the visitors the best work in the
first game was done by Robertson, who
made a score of PIG. The other MEM
bers of the team also managed to roll
UP such scores as gave a total for the
game of 1874, while the best that the
Hussars could show was TAI. The Wis
itors fell down in the second game,
however. and the Hussars beat them
handily by SO pins.
The third game was pretty close and
was won for the Hussars only by
Brewers magnificent bowling. He
never missed a frame, scoring six
strikes and four spares, making a total
of 225 and beating Robertson 70 pins.
This score and the 81 pins by which
Saussy beat Jones, saved the game
for the Hussars, as each of the other
three visitors beat their men by fair
margins.
Because of the way in which records
were being tied or smashed made the
first three games interesting enough,
but the fourth game was even more
so, for the Floridians We're not salts
Ned with breaking all their own re-
cords but went for those of Savan-
nah as well, and both as individuals
and as a team rolled up some totals
that it will be hard to equal, much
less surpass, in some time to come. In
this game three of them, Robertson,
Wamboldt and Masten each made
over 200 pins and as Jones and Saun-
ders also did good work, the total for
the game was 81, almost a hundred
pins higher than has ever been made
by Savannah team.
The match lasted until quite mid
night but so great was the interest
IN II that the majority of the specta-
tors watched it until the end. Jackson
Vile came to Savannah to play off
tie, they and the Hussars having each
won and lost game. By splitting
this match the tie still remains and
will have to be played off at some flu
ture date. Probably this game will be
played in Jacksonville in the near fu-
ture. though the date for 1t has not
yet been set.
