GOSSIP OF CURVES AND sTRAIGHrs

Now tina the city tournament is over
you hear many Of the contestants bowling
It all over again. The main point Of dis
cusslon has been as to comparative merits
Of he curve and straight ball. The curve
ball is delivered with but a limited amount
Of speed, while the straight ball Is usually
a speedy ball.
As a matter OF comparison, take the first
ten winners in the doubles and singles and
the delivery they use;
DOUBLES.
First-Neale and Sprague, curve and
straight.
second-zimmerman and Francisco, both
curve.
Third-Blakeney and Huntington, curve
and straight.
Fourth-Drinkwater and Anderson, curve
and straight.
Fifth-Carman and Schultz, both straight.
Sixth-Neely and Pickard. both curve.
Seventh-Conrad and Camp, curve and
straight.
Elghth-Mann and Bullard, both curve.
N~inth-Lehman and s~tapenhorst, curve
and straight.
Tenth-Keyt and Seaman. both curve.
The Metz team, winner Of the five-man
event, is composed of five curve and only
one straight ball shooter. therefore until
proven otherwise it is to be considered
that the curve ball bowlers have II on
the straight men.
The Klauck Glendales, who are picked
by the Commercial ~leaguers to win first
place in the five-men event at the tourna-
ment, didn't get started until the single
event, in which they bowled the following
t-a H@a -.
Stapenhorst 5s5, Lehman, 5e9, and Camp,
$40, or a total OF 2.7s4, or forty-five more
pins than won the championship for the
Metz team.

G. o. says he will bowl him three games
on the Metropolitan. three at fuckers and
three on the Association alleys.
|, Nose Yousem is badly scared at the way
the Cudahys are going. They have won
twelve straight and are right on Moses
heels.
There is now just 50. 10 in the fund in the
cellar league toward that suit for Carman.
The boys are hitting the head pin too
regular for the cellarette king since 1t
cost them 10 cents per miss.
1t would nave don old Rip Van Wrinkle
good to have been present when Carson
and Hunter bowled their tournament
games. BY the time Hunter finished his
last he had to be rubbed down and car
ried from the alleys on a stretcher, but
old Kit was still there and going some,
Wonderful how Kit can keep it up.
City Champion Keyt is going to get a
800 game before the birds come in the
spring. That one pin that stood in his
large single game has been hurting him.
Oh, you Glendales. From the bottom to
the top in such a short while, is going
some.
