Montana Leads All.
Writing to the Twin City Sports
man, Sam Karpf, manager of the ALL
American Trio, pays high compliment
to the bowlers of Montana. He says:
ut is an undeniable fact that the
state of Montana leads all west of the
Mississippi river when it comes to
tenpins. If there is a city, town or
hamlet in the state without a bowling
alley it is because there are not
enough persons to play the game.
From the little, but enterprising rail-
road town of Glendive to the two big
cities of Great Falls and Butte it is
a case of bowl from early morn until
late at night, Notwithstanding that
the tax for two players has been fix
ed at two bits
"Although Butte claims to have the
best bowlers in the state, Billings
would not trail far behind if it came
to a series of match games, ONE
thing that is liable to take place in
the very near future. Against the
All-Americans Billings made by far
the best showing, which was chiefly
due, however, to the clever work of
Joe Tschudy, who averaged a fraction
210 in the five games he played,
which is the best record put up against
the tourists by any individual.
Butte truly has some good bowl
ers, Of which a lightweight, named
Ellis, rolls the best ball. Misevich
rolls a good ball, but puts too much
speed behind it.
"Great Falls certainly has a star in
Dan Tracy, who will take his team
and two others and make a short tour
of the state. The bowlers of Living
ston and Big Timber are still new at
the game, but may be expected to give
good account of themselves next
Bozeman bowlers play only
occasionally now because of the con-
dition of the alleys. The game, I un-
derstand, is very quiet in Helena and
because the right persons
are not at the head of the sport"
