STORz TRIUMPHS IN LEAD
Defeated Hospe Team in a Trio Of
Games Tuesday Night.
TWO CONTESTS MIGHTY CLOSE
Metz Team Only One Game Behind
the Leader and Coming Along in
Coos Form-some Timely
Personal Notes.

BY winning all three games from the
Hospe company Tuesday the storz Tri-
umphs are row in first place in The Omaha
league. The last two games we're cxcep-
t'Unally close ard not until the last Il an
had bowlod was either Of the contests de-
cided.
In the second game the storz team had
but four men to shoot in the tenth frame
and forty pins to tn, bad. HoWcyer. a
great deal Of confidence was placed n c..
j Francisco, who had a strike up, ard
knowing his nasty habit OF doubling II n

lost until he finished-and such a nj HI!
Not satisfied with doubling. re struck all
the way and landed the game for his mates
by twelve pins. Cla:k Ike q the Hosp s
drew a bad split, which helped The st9rs
team considerably; in fact, this was the
only double the S,orz team got In tbs
game, having made thirty-two spares, four
splits, two errors and only twelve strikes,
still getting a nice total Of ov.r 900 pins.
which is certainly getting the full count
The third game was also a dandy, The
winners having but eight pins to spare.
The Metz team is only one game behind
the storz team and from now on these two
teams will have q regular battle royal, both
being in good shape.
The Mercantile teams improve each week
In their bowling. In the match Tuesday
the Equitable Life team went through
with only two errors in its last game. Keep
II UP, boys.
Slaughter OF the Kamo team bowlod a 1919
game Tuesday without a double. 1t looked
ike a duplicate of ~Sprague's 200. but
Slaughter could only get nine pins on his
first ball in the tenth frame.
The Yousem Cots are not passing up
any games just now and from the way
those kids are shooting it will not be sur
prising to see q 5000 total shot by them in
the near future.
In an effort to make the ITO split last
night, Captain Harry Mitchell of the
Sprague Pills split his thumb, the only
split he could make. This will lay him out
Of the game for at least two weeks.
II Bruggeman can have the same control
and speed during the base ball season as he
has been showing around the alleys, Pa
Rourke will be on his trail this summer.
Kit Carson is still the champion among
the old-timers. The way that old chap
trims the youngsters is a caution.
Bob Manley and his famous Brandeis
Store boys have reserved s, 9 and 10 at the
Francisco alleys for every Wednesday night
until the season closes. They have been
shooting pretty good ten pins lately. too.
Fat Harwood has it on Bob at that and is
willing to give him a chance for revenge
any time he wants 1t.
East, the big six foot bowler of the
-. ca. al -a- - -
mates this week.
The BOBBY place in the Booster league is
being holly contested for just at the pres
emit time. The Peoples Store and Cream
City are having time trying to shove each
other in the place. The team in last place
will nave to do the table waiting at the
Booster banquet. 1t will be a great treat
to see Giant Howard carrying in a tray
full Of steaming soup, then big Dummy
and Denver Ratekin passing the chicken
and ham sandwiches. Guess Arnstein will
get in there all right.
Nose Yousem bowled his three games with
the Hospes last night without an erpOr
and his steady shooting was the feature
of the nights bowling.
Loch's Springs sprung a leak in their
first game, but got to going fine in the
second. City Champ Keyt will nave to
steady the boys.
Colonel Baehr was a trifle off at the
start in his series last night, was late in
arriving and missed his few practice balls.
Bill has been getting lots of the wood this
year.
The Candy Kids fell away off from their
totals against the Glendales last week;
hit them all right, but they wouldn't fall.
Dad Huntington has nothing but praise
for the manner In which the Columbus
boys treated the Omahans last Saturday at
that city. Although beaten by one pin,
they we're fully repaid by the treatment
received. There was music during the
match and then a dandy feed to ease off
their defeated ambitions.
