Omaha bowlers made most excellent
showing against the crack Gunther team
OF Chicago I'm the two match games at the
association alleys Sunday afternoon and
evening, team No. 2 winning the afternoon
contest by six pins and team No. l WIN
ming two out OF three games In the even
ing, but the points were what counted
and the Guntbers won the match by
thirty-nine pins.
The Gunthers, accompanied by their
backer-Gunther, the candy man OF Chi
cago-arrived in the morning, but did not
practice on the alleys until about half
an hour before the first game was TO start
The afternoon match won by six pins
and Frush was given great deal of credit
for this game. he picked up a split pair
that man might make once in 4 hundred
times. knocking down the s, and 10 pins,
making spare and ten extra pins and,
as the game was won by but six pins, this
extra ten came in pretty handy. Eddie
Cochran rolled the high score for Omaha,
making 500 without an error. a phenomenal
record, as he picked up every spare on his
thirty frames in the three games. Wood
bury was taken sick during the afternoon
match, and his team mates rolled out his
game for him Team No. 2 was touted as
the weakest team which was to meet the
Gunthers and yet it won.
No. 1 Team In Hard Luck.
Team No. / got "A bad start in the even
ing and the FIRST game was lower than any
rolled in the afternoon by the second team.
The match in the evening was about $50
points lower than the regular work of the
first team, and at that 1t won two out Of
three but went to the bad so far in the
first that it was not possible to catch up.
In the first evening game Omaha was
thirty-five pins to the good on the fourth
frame and then went to the bad, losing by
seventy pins. Omaha made up twenty-five
OF these pins in the second game and, al
though winning the third did not pick up
enough. In the first two evening games
Omaha had two bad games Huntington
1877 in the first and Gjcrde 1877 in the second,
two of the strongest men thus falling down.
The gallery was most enthusiastic
throughout both the afternoon and even
ing. about 800 being present on each occa-
sion. Sprague made the best record In the
evening, as he rolled 23S in the second
game. Had Huntington been up TO his
game and Bartsch not quite so good the
record OF the evening game would have
been better.
The Gunthers were strengthened by

league race and by Wood. who is one of
the national individual champions.
Manager Gunther Of the Chicago team
was quito enthusiastic over the alleys and
the treatment he had received for his team
and himself and said that he would try
to arrange spring exhibition game Cor
his base ball team in Omaha. He said:
The Omaha alleys are fine as any my
team has ever rolled on in the United
States, and all of the team agrees on that
point. The runways are long, something
we don't have in Chicago, where the rents
are higher. They fast and good, and
the lights are good and was surprised tc
