Anson's team from Chicago still leads III
the national bowling tournament at Cleve-
land with total of 2,I37 pins, and this'
when it is considered that the national
champions from Chicago, the O'Learys'
Columbia knights, Brilliants, Columbus
Club. Tuxedos, Eucids and many other fast
teams took crack at these figures.
This will be a surprise to many, and IL
the Ansons are to be beaten it will take
place in the finals, when it goes on the al
leys. In this set are the Brunswick, New
York Stars, Calumets of Cleveland and the
fast Derby team from Chicago. Owing to
the fact that few high team scores have
been made, the New York Stars are now
picked to win the next national champion
ship. The eastern delegation backed them
off the books and there is not a single bet
to be had against them.
The poor showing of the teams in this ma
tional tournament Is surprise to all, for
the figures that were made at Indianapolis
have not been reached. and the team that
can get about $3.50 appears to have a
chance to get inside the money. Last year
a team had to beat 2. 700 to win the money,
while the OLearys had to make ISIS to
make the championship. Last evening they
made but 1855. This is an awful slump.
rI-,, 80 GIearys been able to duplicate
the trick for the Second time ,:,- members
of the team would have made a small Tor
tune. for Jimmy O'Leary stood ready to
give each member of the team 81 600. In
all he offered $4,000 to the team. He ar
rived in Cleveland last evening on a special
car on the Lake Shore, accompanied by his
drum and fife corps. They were met at
the depot by the Chicago delegation in
Cleveland with tallyhos and escorted down
to the Central Armory. 1t was a great
ovation to the champions, and although
they failed to show anything like their
form of last year. they were greeted with
cheers they left the hall. headed by the
drum and fife corps. and led to their hotels.
They had lost the national championship
but it must be admitted that they had the
hardest kind of luck in the games
What was the largest crowd of the week
turned out to witness the games for the
third nights tournament 1t was an en-
thusiaStic crowd in every way, and the
many plays of difficult order were cheered
TO the echo. The Cleveland enthusiasts
cheered the Eucids on every play, but
the announcement was not taken advan-
tage of by the Euclids after the first game
