that in the long run, counts for the
city.
The reason that Rock Island has
never gotten in on the biggest slices
of the pots is that the alleys on
which the tournaments are held are
so much faster than those in Rock
Island. 1t takes the bowlers a few
games in which to become accustom-
ed to the difference and by that
time chances are slim for high
scores. AS soon as the Rock Island
club alleys are ready for use, this
difference will be eliminated for the
bowlers will have as good alleys as
there are in the country. AS a
team, the Islanders pulled down
2,469 pins. less by far than the aver
age of the best teams in the Com
mercial league here.
In the doubles, Salzmann and
WITCH made the best showing of the
locals with 1865. Mueller and Hus-
ton had 80 pins less. In the team
work. WITCH managed to get 219 pins
in a single game, a good score but
II did not count in the individuals.

the use in delving into the future? He
may hurt finger before the next time
he bowls, fortnight hence.
Cap Salzmann was low man of his
team again-but his low score carried
a good average. His total was 513
pins.
Dr. Soule had miserable luck in his
second game. Five bad splits pulled
lis game way down. His other games
were up to the average.
E. A. Nich climbed gradually during
the three games, and it was his score
in the last game that STAYED off defeat
for the Colts.
Van Etten bowled three pretty games
and managed to pull down a score Of
555.
Patting started out with a rush and
made 203 pins in the first game. He
came down to the level of the rest OF
the bowlers in The second game and
finished with Harms in the last
Roantree was the best Independ-
ent of the bunch He had just $50
rins to his credit when things cleared
up and the totals were secured He
claims to be the hard luck kid of tn,
bunch at that, for in IA frames his
first ball knocked down nine of the
pins. Somewhat better than splits at
| that.
Herman WITCH was the best bowler
of the bunch. He made 566 in the
three games, 210 of which were secur-
ed in one game. That was the high
single game of the evening He beat
his brother John by II pins.
Let us commiserate. We are about
to speak ofsMr. Huston. Bills luck
started to dwindle in the second game
and he lost heart and finished badly
The disastrous trip to Des Moines
worked havoc with all who went, bu'

the last bail in the series and made q

score.

ing league, the Colts galloped away
from the Independents and nosed out
with the highest number of points in
all three games. The first two heats
were easy victories for the Colts, but
they barely won out in the third, pull
ing ahead at the last minute. Both
teams were keyed to the highest pitch
and the extra effort of the Colts met
with success. while that of the indie
pendents resulted in bad break.
LEAD At START.
From the time that the first ball was
rolled at the 10 pins in the first frame
of the match, the Colts were ahead,
and only for a while in the last game
did the losers assume the lead. And
then it was only to lose IN the last
frame, when Huston, whose ill luck
spoiled his game, blew a spare. The
game went TO the Colts by six points,
and had Captain Bill cleaned up, he
would have won for his team. The
last game was pretty race, while the
others were snaps for the champions.
ATHLETICS FORFEIT.
Little interest was shown in the 9th.

full and has that charming swish and
swing to it that delights the heart of
