Portland Tacoma, Butte and Salt Lake, IN
all about fifty experts with the ten pins
many of them taking their wives along.
Citizens walking along Third South yes
terday morning probably wondered what
had hit the town, when a bunch of over
thirty strong -lunged individuals piled into
the Grown alleys and began to yell for
Salt Lake. 1t was the Butte-Seattle
Portland contingent on the way &c. Den
Yer and they had stopped off part of
day to see If good old Salt Lake" was
still alive and prospecting. Nearly all OF
them were here year ago when salt
Lake held the tournament and they all
remembered the good time they had while
here.
In a few minutes II was noised around
town among the local bowlers that the
western bunch had arrived and a general
gathering II the bowling fraternity held
forth for the next few hours at the Crown
alleys. The He no" of Brown and his
bunch Of Seattle Indians was soon re-
sounding up and down the alleys. while
the members Of the Seattle Athletic club
were busy knocking down pins.
Can't Saw Wood With a Hammer.
Seattle will spring a new one of the w
h. c. in the shape of a Seattle boosters
phrase that is a winner. They remained
in Salt Lake long enough yesterday to
stickers which read: You can't saw wood
with a hammer" Brown says he will also
spring a new yell which viii make the
DenVerites sit up and take notice.
Mike Sheehan and his crowd of miners
were also on deck from Butte When
asked about the strike Mike said: Strike,
why the only kind of strike we know any
thing about is the twelve straight kind
that makes 300 score. Butte is all right
and we are going to show the other fell
lows" The Butte contingent wore big
copper ten pin on their coat lapels. 1t is
the neatest thing in bowling novelty
seen here in many days.
The Portland crowd were a little more
modest than their noisy Seattle brothers
long ribbons with the single word Port
land printed thereon. This crowd is after
the tournament for next year and il Is
believed viii have Seattle with them.
