SAVAGE WINS OUT.
Elmer Savage Takes First HOn0rs in
the Tournament Given by the In
dependent Bowling Club.
OF INTEREST TO sPoRTsMEN.

Elmer Savage won the first prize of
ten dollars at the Bowling tournament
Of the Independent Bowling club which
closed at the Maple House Monday
evening. Fate ordained that the low
score of ID pins should win the highest
prize for at the close of the tourney
the men who had tied for the high
score we're unable to make anything
like showing. During the week
Savage, James Seymour and Peter
Treiner had each gone the limit of
twenty seven pins and when the time
came play off the tie for first money
the men bowled among the lowest
scores seen ia the tourney. Savage
was able to get twelve pins in the
three chances, Seymour got only six
and Treinen was in the middle with
score of eight. Savage was the logical
winner Of the, tourney as he set the
high mark on the first night of the
play.
Emil Jensen with score of twenty
two won the five dollar prize offered as
second money and John Larsen with
score of twenty one won the third
prize. The tournament was the most
successful one ever held under the au-
spices of the club and it is possible
that another tourney will be held be-
fore the close of the bowling season.
Kenosha has chance to win state
championship. A state basket ball
league is being formed and Kenosha
will be asked to contribute team to
the circuit during the winter. Fond
du Lac, Madison, La Crosse, James
vile and Beloit have already been in
cluded in the circuit of clubs and Ke-
nosha is slated as the city to take the
open franchise. Kenosha can shine
in basket ball. The Y. M. C. A. team,
which is one of the strongest in the
west, would be pleased to carry the
colors Of Kenosha. Added to this a
second team could be collected in the
city which would be worthy of mem
bership in the league. The matter
has been suggested to the manager of
the Y. NJ. G.. A. team but he insists
that his schedule for the year is al
ready made out and that in all prob
ability it would conflict with the sched-
ule of games assigned to Kenosha by
"a league committee. It is possible
that com bination team of High
School and Y. M. c. A. players will
be formed ~ seek place in the league.
Kenosha will take new interest in
the New Orleans races after the first
of the year, as at that time two maid
ems owned by Joseph Mayer of the
town of Pleasant Prairie will make
their first start in race. The horses
have been at the track since the open
ing of the meeting and they are said
to have shown good speed in the differ
ent work outs. Kenosha sports will
have some new betting propositions.
Christmas in Kenosha will be an ex-
ceedingly dull day SO far as sports are
concerned and if the people of the city
desire anything in the sporting line
they will be forced to go to other cities
to find It. Nothing has been arranged
for the day and nothing is prospected.
