Local Alleys.

There was some lively bowling on the
local alleys last night between the Ca
nonicus Rowing club team and the Sea-
weeds. Owing to the nasty weather there
was a smaller attendance than usual. but
those who were present were very enthu-
siastic and several times made racket
enough for twice as large a crowd when
a good play was made by a member OF
their favorfte team.
The Canonicus team pulled out VIC
tory. taking two out OF three strings
They won the first string by a majority Of
80 pins. the totals at the end of the string
being 436 for the Canonicus team and s9I
for the other fellows. In the second string
the Seaweeds pulled out with eight pins
TO the good, their score being 39l against
3S3 for the Canonicus contingent
In the third and deciding string the Ca
nonicus team pulled themselves together
for grand struggle and waded IN TO win.
They put up some hot bowling and cap
tured the string with 3s pins to the good.
The Seaweeds did not let the string go by
default but put In some OF their best
work In the endeavor TO land the game.
They were up against II good and hard
though and one or two bad falls by mem
bers OF the team, together with a short
streak OF luck for the other side lost
them the game.
The score at the end OF the string was
423 for the Rowing club contingent and
3s5 for their opponents The winners We're
also So pins ahead on the team total,
having 1912 against l17s or the other side.
John Mclaughlin of the Canonicus team
WAS the high man with at total OF 2Ss pins
and Holmes of the Seaweeds was second
with 253. just ten points behind. There
was considerable interest shown in the
game by those present
After the game had been finished Dan
Mclaughlin bowled with an unknown
and beat him three straight, although in
the last string the score was very close
and Dan won out more by a streak Of
luck than anything else. The first string
was an easy one with the unknown so far
behind at all stages OF the game that II
was a foregone conclusion that he would
be defeated from the commencement
Mack was IA pins to the good at the end
OF the string, having so pins while the
other fellow had only Sc.
In the second string the work was lit
tie closer but several falls at the start
proved too great handicap for the un-
known TO overcome and be was stuck
again. He did some good bowling on the
last end OF the string but was too far be-
hind when he pulled himself together TO
get out. The score was 80 TO "A In favor
OF Mclaughlin.
In the third and last string the un-
known started out with spare and kept
up a reasonably good pace through the
string, except in one box where he
slipped while delivering the balls and got
a very low score. On the last end the
score was very close. Mclaughlin won
the string by a lucky fluke. He knocked
down enough pins in the last box to tie
and was beginning to think he would
have to roll off the tie when one OF the
pins he had knocked down rolled against
another with just enough force 70 topple
IL over and win him the game by one pin.
The score was 81 10 So
