RODRICK THE LEADER

The V M c. A. ten pin tourney, which Is
now in full swing has not thus far result
ed in a profusion of high averages, but Is
a huge success, as it was inaugurated for
the purpose of interesting the young men
of the association in the game who were
comparative strangers to Strikes, -
Spares and splits rather than with the
intention of breaking District records.
Many of the boys have never before
swung the lignum vitae and others lack the
speed necessary for the attainment of high
scores. but the majority of novices are rap
idly acquiring control of the sphere and
there is much promising timber being de-
