NIFTY pin-knights did their pref
test last night to roll big scores
in the initial matches of the
STAR headpin bowling tournament OF
the Iroquois alleys. A good many
times a ~half-hundred spectators
watched the bowlers perform and
showed. by their interest, that they en-
joy the headpin competition.
The bowling began early last night,
but in spite of that fact, and, Drawing
the combination snow and rain storm
the rooters got out in good season and
occupied the best places along the fir.
ing line.
OF the ~half-century band of bowIers
two got scores of 100 or better, thus
annexing the watch-fobs offered by the
STAR to those who reach or pass the
century march. Tho leader vas Louis
Huber, who rolled onethe C team of
the Ashworth aggregation that came
down, fifteen bowlers strong, from East
Orange. Huber got lot. while Charley
Riotti, who rolled in the first squad,
with the Ashworth A five, was the
other fortunate performer, with the
score of 1O1, made in spite of the ham
dicap of one miss. Huber had twelve
frames without a slip.
The initial squad to get busy just as
500 as the smoke had settled after
the fiashlight photo of all hands had
been taken, was made UP Of the
Sprague A. C. team, of Watsessing,
and the Ashworth A team, Of East
Orange, with Bert Ashworth, who runs
the Ashworth alleys, as the anchor.

the Spragues and got 7, while Walsh
Was charged with an error for the Ash
worths. Walsh, however, got in three
strikes and looked, for a time, like a
watch-fob winner, finally :unning into
a pair of misses and stopping at 81.
r. Engstrom went right along until the
seventh frame before he missed. This
mistake spoiled his chances and he
stopped at 92. McKinnon, of the
S~pragues, hit the pins nicely and had
AZ In the fifth. Then he missed, but
followed this up with three strikes and
nine and had 81 in the tenth frame.
Needing a strike and nine he got seven
and nine instead and wound up with
81.
Allen started off with a miss, but
kept hammering away pretty steadily
at the pins and finished with 50. Riotti
rolled a beautiful ball and there were
no misses until the tenth frame. He
started with a pair of mines n then
got three strikes and a seven. Nine
pins fell on the sixth ball and seven on
the eighth. He got another strike in
the ninth frame for 81 and had a big
score in sight. Then he just missed
the head-pin. He wound up with two
more strikes and was given the glad
hand for his exhibition of nerve. Bert
Ashworth was expected to put up a
good score, but had five misses for a
score of %.
The South Side A and B teams went
on next. The B aggregation was away
off, missing the head-pin with regular
ity and totaling but 1893. With the A
five it was different. Casperson was
high with 81. He had clean hits and
fair filing until the eleventh frame.
Then, with a score of 81 and nine pins
needed to annex a fob, he slipped up
and finished with 81, somewhat to the
delight of the entire south side aggre-
cation. Rech got a miss right off the
reel and her a strike. A nine fol-
lowed and then another miss. This
spoiled his record, but he hit the pins
nicely to the end for a score of 80. May
