LOmg-Wiuded Match.
Myron Stunz of the Reio team has ao-
cepted the challenge of Billy Martin for a
fifty-game series TO be bowled continu-
ously without stop with the exception
Of fifteen minute intermlssion which will
allow the bowlers to change alleys, as
twenty-five games will be shot on the Met
ropolitan alleys and twenty-five upon the
Francisco alleys. Martins original chal-
lege was for a lOO-game series. This IS not
very good way to test the skill OF a
bowler or in any way demonstrate who is
the best man, but is merely a contest OF
endurance. A few years ago Marble and
Cochran, two Of the best men on the alleys
at that time. rolled a lOo-game series and
established an average of about 1870 for
each game rolled. This is a very good per-
Torrance, and il is doubtful II the above
named men will beat this mark OF several
years standing. The proper way to show
who is the best man would be to shoot
five ten-game series, and then 1t would be
worth watching well as increasing the
desire to make wager worth while.
