TWO MEN FIGURE
IN PRIZE MONEY

A great deal of sport and one cash
prize made up the fruits Of the bow
ling prowess of the Ottumwa Mission
bowlers at the Midwestern tourna-
ment just closed in Des Moines. The
winners were Royce Dingeman and
G. e. Scott. who took down $22 for
their score of 1,176 In the doubles.
in which class they finished tentn.
The other Ottumwa bowlers played
moderately good games, but the field
of cracks participating in the events
made 1t impossible for the home spun
variety to pull down many prizes.
