There Was Something Pretty
Done in the Bowling Line
Last NIght--Other News.

last night there was one OF the prettlest
,ou,l,r, games OF the season on the local
allevs between the Canonicus ho"ihs
cbib team and the HinlIy Dees. Ii hao
been expected that the game would be an
exciting one but no one had an idea uh'h
II was well under way that the contest
was TO be one OF the hottest and hafd'S'
fought OF the season
rLere was a good attendance IN th2 b"'-
lery and they fully appreciated the Sou
v,rk that was done Straight through the
first string il was nip and tuck until the
last hall went down the alley ana not
even when the last man was bowling toe
next TO the last ball in the string couio
there be any degree OF certainty as u
who was the winner OF the string. 1T went
to the Canonicus contingent AFTER tue
hardest struggle that has been seen here
FOR some time by the close majority OF one
min The winners OF the string had aoS,
while their opponents were one shy oI
that figure with 1O7 TO their credit
The second string was just as ho'H
contested and both OF the cohtes"ns
teams kept up the hot pace with whsch
they had started on ..
lOePS
/ though. for their old luck followed them
| straight through TO the finish. although
! they succeeded In making much better
| showing than they have been able 10 90
| before this season. The game was no walk
| over for anybody. At the finish the Va
nonicus aggregation had 422 to their credit
and the Hinkys were just six oehlhd
| with score OF Az. .,
I'm the last string 1t was the same oid
| story I'm the same old way. A red not
struggle. some good bowling on botn
sides and a final defeat for the Hinkys py
! a majority 80 small that II mane tne
| other Fellows nervous when they thought
of Il. At the finish the Dees were JUST
four pins behind with 900, while the other
| chaps had i09 piled up.
This made three straight for the
! Canonicus contingent which had been
won after the hardest fight that has been
| seen here in several moons, and as one
of the members OF the winning team eN-
pressed il after the game was over, III
was a cinch for anybody.
! The team OF the Dees has been re-
organized and they certainly did surprise
| all OF the gallery gods by the game they
! nut M. II IN certain that they compare
| all right with the rest of the teams In
the league and can hold their own with
| almost anything in their class.
| This game was of more than ordinary
| interest because OF the fact that the
! standing I'm the town league was affected
! by IT, The winners are now tied with
| the local grocery clerks for hrst place
and there promises To be lively -.-ht Tor
| the pennant from this time out.
Each OF the. teams have expressed the
| determination OF winning the first place.
and now the people who are following up
the games are holding their breaths until
| the season Is over and the matter ~
! settled.
CAUSED TROUBLE
A pipe Ia the upper story of the build
ing i'm which the local bowling alleys are
! located on Lincoln avenue. burst yester-
day and caused considerable trouble. The
water leaked through the ceiling into
the bowling alleys and for a short time
It looked as though they would be serious
ly damaged The alleys were covered
| with tarpaulines as soon as they could be
procured and this doubtless averted
serious results. A plumber was notified
and he shut of the water
A FISH STORY
! Two OF the local residents. who are well
known. went To the Klckemuit river on
| fishing expedition yesterday just what
kind OF fish they were cunning for "
they hooked one fish that they did not
bring home with them. They cut several
| holes In the Ice, ana hftef nNlnR up
their hooks and dropping them I'm they
started In to take things easy until some
thing in the way OF fish displayed n
willingness TO be caught
They waited until they were somewhat
chilled and had a rapidly growing, feel
ing OF disbursement. when suddenly
one OF the men got bite. In n minute
ne realized that II was no ordinary, every
day fish that had got fouled up with his
line. and at once there was struggle
on to determine whether the fish should
bc landed or make good his escape.
This lasted for several minutes and nm
ally resulted in a victory for the fish,
who succeeded in getting himself clear or
the line and swan away. one or the
men saws that the fish made up faces az
them "a he swan away under the Ice,
but this statement has not yet been veri-
fed.
