Loss for the Fat Men and 972 for their
opponents: all the Fats went over the two
hundred mark in this game except
Dutch Krauss, he getting the S-10 split
in the last box, having n strike in the
ninth, keeping him from the numeral pre-
fix two, to his score, 19s being his contri-
button. Field was the high man for the
Fats with 242, and Capt. Eckstein with
three deuces was the top notcher for his
team.
The third and last game found the ad-
mirers and many rooters of the Fats,
begging for another increase of siXty-five
pins over their second game, which would
break the District record of ,122 by forty
one pins and set 4 mark for the high set
of three games In lea que match long to
be remembered. The Fats made noble
| effort TO please their sranch rooters, but
five splits and three misses kept them
from the coveted four figures: $40 being
the best they could muster. This game
proved to be the closest OF the evening s
| shoot, for had Miller gotten two strikes
on his first two balls in his last frame,

| box, and then only four pins on his third
| ball the Saengerbund could have been
| vistorious by one pin, as it was Willie"
got a spare and the Germans were short
thirteen pins, they having S66 for their
! total.
Jack Brosnan did the heavy cannonad-
| ing from the firing line, doubling in the
| tenth. he having already registered a
strike in the ninth frame, and piling up
| the NAPLES for a total OF twenty-nine pins
on three balls in his last box.
When the totals for the three games
had been taken, 1t was found that Capt.
Waters quint had recorded 3,11O pins, an
average of 1.0S6 2-3, setting a new District
record. eclpsing the Saengerbund record
by twenty-six pins. The victory being all
the more decisive as 1t was rolled on the
Saenger's alleys.
