ST. Paul teams carried off the
honors in the first nights games Of
me state bowling tournament at sthe
Cooperative alleys. The Capitols Of
st. Paul got the best score in the five
man event, 1884, while Hinderer and
P1nska of the same club were high in
the doubles with 1113. ~
Inc tournament was launched with
considerable ceremony. D. r.. Nc
Naught OF the board of directors of
C0.nnnro OF
ooWlers and spectators, and intro
duced Fl. N. Fowler, president of the
state association. Mr.. Fowler COM
plimented the committee in charge Of
the arrangements for all it had ac-
complished, and spoke of the high
ability Of the bowlers Of the state.
Mayor Haynes of Minneapolis and
Mayor Smith Of st. Paul then spoke
briefly, welcoming the outside bowlers,
ana the Following men rolled the first
balls down the ten alleys: Mayor
Smith Of st. Paul, Mayor Haynes of
Jones, City Clerk c. N, Dickey, H. N.
Fowler, j. H.Jansen, D: Brundritt, F.
Gosewitsch and w. G. Fust. Bets had
been freely offered, with no takers,
that one of the ten would poodle"
Mayor Smith, however, was the only
one to accomplish this feat, altho he
had remarked in his. address that he
| Will
and did not propose to form the habit
on that occasion. The mayor took a
second shot with better results.
The local committee in charge of
the arrangements has outdone itself,
and expressions of surprise were
take INTO insure the comfort and con-
venience Of the bowlers and spec
tators, as we'll as to put the alleys in
shape for rolling. The hall was
handsomely decorated with flags and
bunting, and the teams in their neat
uniforms made fine spectacle. The
honors of the evening for pyrotech-
mic display in the matter Of dress were
carried off by the Commercial team
Of Duluth. The players of this team
wore screaming scarlet shirts, with
big gold pins in the form, of c on
the effect by a black cat on the back
Of the shirt.
The alleys were pronounced in per-
feet shape by all the bowlers. They
were perfectly true, and lightning
fast. The pins fell hard last night
reaching the 200 MARI s Gus Iense en-
yesterday guessed the high score 70,
the f1ve-man team at 2917, but mos
of the bowlers, especially after las
nights play, pronounced this estimate
from lO OtO LOU pins TO Oh1gh. LOca
enthusiasts, however, expect the Tas.
mos, Turner's, Nicollets, and possibly
the Buffaloes, to pass the 27O0 mark
The Chris team Of M1nneapoli!
made an excellent showing last night
and but for run Of bad luck in the
third game, when splits came thicl
and fast, would have taken high tota
for the evening, and gone we'll ovel
the 200 mark. AS 1t was the quin
tet got high score for one game, 981
and this figure is quite likely to stane
for the tournament. The other Min
neapolis teams Jared poorly, the Tux
; edos getting the best score Of the 10
with 2449.
In the two-man team contest onl,
three Minneapolis teams were entered
and Dillis and A. Newcomb were tn,
only pair to get a respectable score
finishing fifth among the ten team
with a total of 1041.
Several strong teams will roll thi
evening in the five-man team event
The Buffaloes and Nicollets are ex
pected to put Minneapolis in the lea,
in this contest. The games Wednes
day night, when the Tasmos an,
Turner's meet on adjacent alleys, ar
expected to furnish the climax Of tn
I f1ve-man contest.
The scores last night follow:
