a two man match game rolled on
the Ocean Pier alleys, Wednesday
afternoon, attracted a number of peo-
pie and was very interesting. 1t was
a very closely contested game. The
Prof. after losing the first game by a
few pins, got warmed up and beat the
celebrated Jim Vassalo, the next two
games. This is something for the Prot.
to be proud of, as Vassalo is one of the
foremost bowlers of Philadelphia.
Vassalo's score for the first, second
and third games, respectively, was 1893,
1856, 1852. Powell's, 134, 115, 1913. Davis

STRUCTURAL IRON PLANT

Ensley. June 2S.-(SpeeiaL)-Th proba- hilities are that the Steel City Is to soon have two large new industries. The ac- tivity in real estate in certain parts of the town is a good indication that the plants are a certainty. Just what will be the nature of the new plants and the pro- ducts they will manufacture has not yet been made public.
 The chances appear good however for inc location of a structural iron plant in the Steel City. It Is reported that steps have already been taken looking to the erection of a plant to make struet- ural iron. For some time so the reports go. the building of a plant of this nature has been under consideration.
 At the present the only thing that stands in the way of Ensey securing two indus tries to manufacture finished products is the scarcity of steel billets. The large steel plant is now using all It's steel in making rails
 The indications are that the capacity Of the steel plant will be doubled in a few months and that there will be an abund- anoe of steel for the consumption of the plants using steel billets.
