GOOD WORK OF DOWLERS
A. W. Smith Comes Close to Winning
Championship in the Chicago
Tourv,a v,aen+
Tournament,

"Once a bowler. always a bowler is
the way the ten-pin artists put it, and
the work Of A W Smith, one Of the best
bowlers ever developed In Salt Lake in
the recent Chicago tournament proves
this. Smith entered with a partner in the
two-man tournament for the champion
ship Of Illinois, and if his partner had
rolled anything like a good score the
team would have won the championship
Smiths totals for the three games were
666 and 1,2f7 for two men won the cham
pionship A total of 81 for his partner
would then have given them the cham
pionship Instead. Smiths partner rolled
only 4f3 for the three games, which put
the pair out Of the running. As 1t was,
Smith finished third In the individual hlgn
scores. Several hundred Of the best bowl
ers in the state of Illinois took part in the
tourney.

LAST BALL GAME
FOR THREE WEEKS
Salt Lake Plays Boise Today,
and Then Leaves on North
ern Trip.

Salt Lake and Boise play the last game
Of their series this afternoon at Walk
er's field The game is CALLED for
o'clock Hall viii pitch FOR Salt Lake
and Westan for Boise.
This viii be the last scheduled game IN
Salt Lake for three weeks, as Salt Lake
goes north for a series OF games in the
northern towns. The Salt Lake club
opens IN Butte on Tuesday, then goes
TO Helena and plays the senators and
stops at Boise on the way back 10 meet
Boise again
No matter how today's game comes out.
Salt Lake will leave home with nice
lead in the race and will have TO play
in pretty hard luck to get TO the bottom
before they return. Bill Carney is slated
70 umpire the series at Butte. which IN
sures the Salt Lake boys an even break
II the worst of il in this series The
local team will not leave Salt Lake un-
til Monday noon, which will give them
a good nights sleep Monday night
This will probably be Boise's last APP
pearsnce in Salt Lake under the man
agement Of Con StTuthers- Those IN
charge of the league have become con-
WINGED that Struthers will not do and that
the only way 10 make success out OF
the league is to get new manager az
Boise. Struthers holds the franchise ana
is willing TO sell, providing he can get
his price, which will mean nice tang
for Struthers during his short stay li
the league. IT,
The Boise papers are eut a6alilst lin
strong and come out plainly and say ne
will never return TO Boise as manager OF
the team They intimate that II ne does
he will find all the fans against him and
that no one will patTonize the games
The league is doing well in all the towns
on the circuit now and IL is believed thsJ
with another manager in Boise the idano
town will get in line good and strong.
