DE 70 MADE HIGH AVERAGE

The new baby in the District Bowling
League the Market House team, which
made such an excellent showing last
season in its initial appearance as a
member OF the Oldest bowling league OF
the District. had try-out last night at
its new home at 42t Tenth street, where
IT christened their 1865 season with a
victory over the Florists, who are men,
bers of the same league.
II was only a practice game, but con-
sidering the fact that the season is still
very young, some splendid scores were
made.
New pins were used and the good
bowling was largely due to the true and
fast alleys. which MACK" Sparrough
has had built for the various leagues
and the general public.
This was the first practice game of
the season AID large crowd OF the
followers of the babies" and the dis
pensers of the fragrant blooms were or
hand to cheer their favorites
The Market House boys romped away
with the first game. but the Florists

ering the good things TO eat" by al.

Captain BishCp. Of the Market House
quint, carried off high-average honors

| the evenings bowling was the perform
ance of DeYo. who will bowl with the
| Market House team this season The
| FLORISTS were snort n man, and DeYC
was selected from the opposing team to
MI the vacancy. He carried off high
average with 1os. and in MS second
game. after pulling two Difficult;
| split breaks he ran string of eight
| straight strikes. giving him a total OF
2eS. which breaks the record for tbs
| alleys-25s-made by Miller, of the

| DeYo also holds the record for high
score at the Palace Alleys. with a 30

called Stah! out ct the plate after a
legitimate four-bogger and there was
q good deal of discussion for a few
seconds.
But Stahl himself spoiled his hit by
falling to do one of two things-slide
sooner or come in standing. He made
a dive under McGuire's right. but duck
ed a fraction of an instant too late.
with the result that he swung of at
an obtuse angle and shot by the plate

1t was a fine. outstanding fight from
the off-take. Hogg and Adams twirled
stubbornly. each receiving almost naw-
less support Both teams wore their

that play, made a feint for second,

Actress Marrow Escape.

ST. LOUIS, April Miss Nancy
Sherwyn, a member of the Chinese
Honeymoon" company, narrowly es-
capped death by falling through an open
door of the elevator shaft in a depart-
ment store. but was saved by her
gown, which caught in the door and
prevented her from plunging into the
well.
She was held suspended by her
clothing until the elevator could be
raised from the first floor. that she
might rest on the top of the cage I'M
til she was rescued.
The young actress became uncon-
scious from her perilous experience
Her gown was ruined and she could
not appear on the streets until the
managers of the store insisted that she
select suit from the spring display
of gowns with their compliments.
Miss Sherwyn. had completed her
shopping and was on the third floor.
Finding it impossible to enter the ell
evator because of the crowd, she turn
ed away. The elevator boy slammed
the door catching the train of the
young lady's dress.
She was pulling at her dress to re-
lease it, when the door, which had not
caught, swung back, and she lurched
into the elevator shaft. So firmly.
however, was the skirt fastened in the
door that it sustained her weight, and
held her suspended in midair.
The elevator had descended to the
first floor, but, the operator, hearing
Miss Sherwyn's scream when she fell,
looked up and saw her. He sent the
car up until the top of the cage caught
the young woman. She was lifted I'M
conscious from the top of the car
After being revived and taken to her
home, Miss Sherwyn, though still suf-
fering from the shock of her expert
ence, insisted upon appearing at the
performance that night at the Garrick.
