The West Ends gave a pretty fair ex

rather plentiful, but the numerous
strikes overcame that handicap to some
extent Eddie Kern started off with
three strikes and got nine on his

the total of 4S for the first half lookes-
pretty good. Another miss, however. in
the seventh, put him out of the run

frames where he got misses he would
have had a worlds record. Zinckgraf,
in making his 10S. hit the head-pin
every time. He had 80 in the eleventh
