Fred Strong Best All-Around Man
With Average. of 210 SO for
Nine Games.

Aside from the absence of bow1ers from
New York city at the national bowling
tournament, just closed in Indianapolis
and the TACT that a deficit of about ST. 500
remains, the tournament was a complete
success. From an artistic standpoint and
that is really the only thing that counts,
the tournament far surpassed either of
the previous tournaments and set a stand
ard for future tournaments. The affair,
was SO well managed that President J. j.
Rowe and the other Cleveland men that
Will have charge of next years tourna-
|ment, say they will try to follow out the
lines laid down by the local management
A comparison of the scores made at
the indianapolis tournament, with those
made at Chicago and Buffalo, shows con-
clus1vely that bowling has made great
strides in the last few years. The only
record that was not broken in the recent
tournament was the two-men team record
Selbach and Collins of Columbus Ohio,
Won this event this year with q mark of
l,227. ten pins under the score made by
McClean and Steers at Buffalo last year.
