Team Averages.

Krauss continues to lead the individual
players with an average increased from
1S9 to 1870, lead of four over Spiess, who
butted into several splits in his last match,
and dropped from 1S7 to 1876. Rodrick has
also slumped somewhat, coming back from
third to sixth place. That the AGNES are
not to be reckoned lightly Is demonstrated
by glance at the averages, which show
the three men following Krauss to be men,
bers of that team.
Burdine Brandt Scheurman, Lord and
Lorsdale have made substantial gains, and
creep nearer the top of the average ladder.
Twenty-three men in the league are
bowling TO or better, which is a better
showing than in any previous season.
HCrgh has ditched the greatest number of
pins in set, having 619, with Spiess second
--G09.
Rodrick has the unique distinction of hav-
ing bowled the highest and lowest single
scores 2:14 and 108. respectively.
Krauss leads his team with margin of
10 points in average over Burdine: Spiess
is two points ahead of Campbell for the
lead of the AGNES, and Crist is one to the
good of RCdrick of the Fat Men. Nc
Cauley leads Hough by one point and
Brandt leads the Golden Eagles with
margin of five over Lord. The struggle for
the leadership of the Rathskeller Is close,
Ray and Allison each having an average
of 179, but the former has the best of 1t
by eleven pins.
The Saengers, Acmes and Fat Men each
have five players 10 or better; Rathskeller
four, Golden Eagles two, and Business Men
one. Following are the averages of those
having bOWled six or more games:

The question of why one man succeeds and another fails. Is problem that has puzzled philosophers for centuries. One man attains riches and position, while his neighbor who started with seemingly the same, and better opportunities, exisis in poverty and obscurity. No man can win success who is suffering from an irritat. ing and nerve racking disease and the man who has the qualities of success within him, would be quick to recognize this fact and seize the best remedy to eradicate the trouble.
 A person afflicted with serious case of hemorrhoids or piles Is handicapped in the race for power and advancement. It Is impossible to concentrate the mental en- ergies when this dreadful trouble is sap ping the vital forces. To show how easily this success destroying trouble can be overcome, we publish the following letter from a prominent Indiana man:
 When I received the former letter and booklet on Piles their nature, cause and cure, I was in a critical condition. Ulcers to the number of seven had formed on the inside of the rectum, eliminating in a large tumor on the outside resembling fstula.

However, obtained part of box from my brother in-law and began their use. Five Pyra- mids completely cured me. I procured box later, but have had no occasion to use them. I have been waiting to see that the cure was permanent, before writing you of its success. believe Pyramid Pile Cure to be the greatest and best pile cure on the market, and ask you to please except of my grateful thanks for this invaluable ranadv I take great pleasure in recom- mending it's use to any sufferer along this line.
