Washington's contingent to the Ameri-
can Bowling Congress at Milwaukee ar
rived home yesterday afternoon through
~ satisfied with the trip.
Not a man on the three teams had
kick coming. and they were highly en-
thusiastic over the manner in which the
Alilwaukeeans handled the big enter
prise. The events were run off smoothly
and the details were so perfect for such
a large affair that the city Of beer will
ever be remembered by those who made
the trip.
Won Some Money.
In addition to the way in which the
Washington men were treated, they are
congratulating themselves upon their
success in the tournament. They won
about s42o in prizes and but for little
hard luck would have done even better
They were delayed fourteen hours in
reaching Milwaukee. getting there Mon
day afternoon instead of Sunday night
and had 20 go into the ffve-rnen conpetf-
ton that night. This was piece of
hard luck which showed in the scores,
for the tr2vel-worn bowiers had little
chance with those perfectly fresh.
All things considered, the Capital did
well. The two Columbia teams finished
SO and Al out of PIT fve-men entries
Lord and Hardie were second out OF
al teams IN the two-men competition,
and of the SIC men in the singles ALI
son finished fifth and Bum fifteenth. Of
the twelve men sent by the City Asso-
citation Bum did the most consisten
work, getting an average of 1S5 for the
nine games IN which he appeared.
Pinsetter a Wonder.
The comparatively low scores made by
the Washington bowlers and those from
other cities is attributed by George S
Livingston, president of the Depart
mental League, in a large measure to
the use of the automatic pin setting
device. This device sets up the pins so
fast that everything is in readiness for
another roll before the ball gets back

bowlers not familiar with the scheme
suffered from the pace. The rapid work
caused the men TO perspire so freely
that it was with difficulty that they
could get good grip on the balls, ana
many q prospective high score was
knocked IN the head.
The smoothness and neWnesS OF the
alleys affected the work Of many experts
who depended on Il curved ball. This
was especially true of Speiss, who de-
clared the alleys absolutely perfect, but
said that 1t was impossible for him to
do himself justice. as the ball would not
take the curve as 1t would on an ordi-
nary alley. Speiss' showing was some

tributed to this fact.
