BIG BOWLING MATCH.
Blouin Of Chicago Smothers Smith
of New York,

Harry Krauss. the well known manager
of the Palace Alleys, is in receipt of a
letter from Murray Ricketts,, whom all
local bowlers will remember for his I'M
firing work as secretary of the Wash
ington City Bowling Association, in which
he inclosed a copy Of the match game
rolled between Jimmy Smith Of New
York and Jimmy Blouin Of Chicago. last
Thursday. II ever a bowler received a
trimming, one James Smith is sure that
man. The scores for the match follow:
Blouin..... 23O 215 285 279 224 100 223
Smith 800. 211 100 179 181 30 PIT 30
Blouin averaged 233 and Smith 1913 for
the seven games. In the three games
Bloilin had three breaks, two misses and
one split He missed in the second box
of the third game and then struck out,
only to come back in the fourth game
with nine straight strikes. making a
total Of nineteen straight strikes.
While Biouin completely swamped the
Eastern crack it's q pretty good bet that
81 these same two bowlers were to shoot
another set on those same two alleys the
chances are that Smith would give the
westerner the battle Of his life. If not
trim him, as Smith is bowler who can
find an alley as quick as any man in the
country.

BY j. ED GRILLO.

Though there has not been the slight
est Improvement in the Nationals stand
ing during the last four years, yet some
really remarkable progress has been made
in this direction.
Those who will remember the team with
which Joe Cantillon opened the season
here in 1907 no doubt will wonder how il
was possible to win any games with that
outfit. Few II any minor. league teams
were weaker and it was a foregone con.
clusion even before the season opened
that the Nationals would wind UP in last
place.
Look over the lineup Of those days and
1t makes one wonder that such q team
should be entered in a major league cam
patgn. There was Lave Cross, Dave
Altizer, Joe Schlafy, Charley Hickman,
John Anderson, Charley Jones, Frank
Kitson. Jack Warner, Ed Heydon. Nick
Perrine. George Mill, Case Patten, Tom
Hughes. Fred Falkenberg and others. Oh
the lot Hughes and Falkenberg are the
only ones to remain In fast company
Before the season was over CantilloI
added Ganley and Otis Clymei and alst
picked up Milan and Johnson, undoubt
eddy still the two most valuable players
on the team But progress has since
been made in other directions. The clut
now has a major league plant and wha
is more, a regular Office in which Il
tranSacts its business. In the words o.
a famous doctor. There is hope"
One Of the principal faults found Will
Charley Street as catcher. when ex
perts considered him with the other sta
backstops. was that for the sake of get
ting clear throw to second, he wasted
SO many balls that he put his pitchers il
Streets work frequently created this i'm
preston, but the fact should not be over
looked that he was greatly Handicapped
by the class Of pitching he was forcet
to handle. Most of the pitchers he sup

control the ball. But ball players do no
live down regulations of this kind ever
though they are not based on facts ant
to this day Street has the reputation O
wasting too many balls.
Though fighters in other classes are
just as able to furnish interesting bouts
1T is a fact that any time there is q
slump in the heavyweight class the
game does not prosper and interest is
on the wane. 1t has been a year anc
a half since Johnson took the title from
Jeffries but there has not been a heavy
weight bout since then which attracted
more than passing attention. Not only
has there been no no one who figured
to have good chance to beat John

No sooner had John M. Ward broken
