The tie which existed IN the Elks
Duck Pin League for first place and
the pennant between the wilson,
Norris and Carr teams was rolled OF
Monday evening on the club alleys
,and the honors for the evening and
the peunant for the league went to
THE team Of rollers under the name Of
the Cars.
By arrangement between the three
captains It was decided that the total
pins Tor the three games should de-
eide the winner and in this respect
the Cars got 1859; 2Morrls's team
1923 and the Wilson's 1914. The Cars
defeated the Morris team by thirty-one
pins and the Wilson's 1856 while the
Morris team defeated the wilson's 124
pins.
Each captain placed the strongest
team possible on the alleys. In the
first game the wilson's we're practi-
scaIiy placed out Of the running when
Ithe fell about thirty5five pins behind
the other two teams Norris beating
Carr by three pins IN the second the
Wilson's lost out to both teams BY
about atty and sixty while the Cars
held desperately on but were defeated
by the Morris crowdby twenty-five
pins, making Morris's lead going into
the last game twenty five pins, which
seemed very large obstacle for the
Cars to do away with but the boys
lied by caTrswers "A game bunch and
although carrying large handicap
they waded In and fought. for every
pin. AT the end OF the ninth frame
the Morris and-carr Team were about
even but what the Cars did in the
tenth will long be remembered by the
large crowd in attendance for
sweep Atchis6n, Mcneil, and Nc
Farlins all spared and Carr struck,
while johnson blew an easy chance.
The four marks in this frame put
the game on ice for Cars team and
from that time on there was nothing

Taft WIN WIN


While Mr.. Roosevelt profted most
in the primary contest as a result of
his personal participation. I'm the
state campafhs in Illinois and Penn
Isylyania on purely local issues, there
is no doubt that those two states
will cast their vote for President
Taft in November.
The only other state which . Mr.
Roosevelt has carried is: Oklahoma.
This victory syas achieved under the
caucus and convention system and
not by the primary system. "Dyna-
mite Ed" Perry and "Catchem-
alive" Jack" Alternately swung the
state for Roosevelt. OKLAHOMA
casts no Republican electoral vote
in November. o.
The eight votes received to date
by Mr. Roosevelt in Indiana iRdi-
Gates the extent. of Republican fac
tional fighting in that state. It
shows clearly that the Republican
party in Indiana is for Taft by a
vote OF at least two to one and that
the president is twice as sure of car
rying it in November as any other
candidate now in the field.
The balance of Mr. Roosevelt's
delegates are indicative of spasmodic
upheayals here and there. They are
merely surface eruptions and are SO
widely scattered geographically as
to represent nothing more than a
complimentary vote. The seven
votes he has in New York are those
of personal, friends among +the
BOSSES" as Mr.. Roosevelt delights
to term the New York leaders who
have saved the party in a dozen.
