ANNUAL TOURNEY
Local and MiShaWaka BoWIerS
Look Forward Eagerly to
Chance to Settle Old Scores.
During Week Of Dc. e.

In keeping with time honored GUS
tom in local bowling history the an
nual city tournament viii aean be
conducted at the Elks tempe this
year during the holidays. Ine event
Will be contested durIu- Che week OF
December - TO +. and the
entries Will close Friday, December
&c. All entries should De mailed to
VIM. H. Heinrich. secretary, at kIks
temple.
This is an event which all bowl
ers in South Bend and Mishawaka
look forward to as it gives them an
opportunity 10 mingle. which does not
permit on any other occasion because
OF the sport being confined entirely
to private clubs where the alleys are
occupied constantly with league play
in the various organizations. The city
tournament always breaks the m0not-
Ony OF the mid-seaSOn vacation OF two
weeks. which every league IN the city
observes.
Just how large the entry list will be
this season is a matter of conjecture.
The m in charge was compel
ed TO foregO early announcement Of
n event for various reasons but in
spite Of this several entries are al
ready on file. The first outside or un-
attached teams 10 declare was the
Senator'S, the Oldest bowling team in
AAA0 AANIH aAAA VA u.s. n All
plOyes Of the E%ngledrum cigar fac
tory, and, although without a home
they always give a good account Of
themselves and take part in every
tournament in this vicinity.
TOasts Land the Bacon.
In a driving finish the Toasts won
the hOnOrs Of the Elks league, which
closed its season at the Elks temple
last Friday evening. the HOofs finish
ing second while the beers landed in
third place. During the last two
weeks of the schedule the race for
hOnOrs was confined entirely 10 the
three teams finishing at the top. the
beers leading and the Hoofs and
TOasts making the running, with the
Bills in an outside chance to break
into the charmed circle.
However, the going was too fast for
the latter and were ~relegated far
down the column, being passed by the
Horns and Charms in the stretch. A
reef was put in the sails OF tle beers
when the HOOfS took the formers
measure for three games in the semi
final while the TOasts came through
strong when asked.
The ace had been made before the
final week and three games each of
the leaders won from their OppOn-
entS did not alter the standing. One
of the fe lures of the closing session
was the hard drive the Horns made
IN the SlTeICn while the stays were dS
poorly as the Horns were good.
Tails Cop All the HonOrs.
Contrary TO expectations the Tails
cleaned up in the Antlers league
which finished its fall schedule during
the past week. With the fine start
the Hairs and Bucktails obtained dur
ing the early stages of the race no one
expected any other OF the eight teams
c~ontenderS. But this was an error
the Tails came from absolute last
place and copied. their disposition OF
the Hairs and Bucktails being con
tests OF a thrilling nature.
Not only did the Tails win first
place but also the J. NJ. ~Studebaker
jr.. trophy, which is awarded for the
highest three-game total in either of
the EIks or Antlers leagues during the
season. IL is the first time this tro-
ply has been won by a team winning
a pennant in either league. The Tails
also posted the highest total ever
for this trophy. the answer of
is $3.50.
one Of the features OF the season
the reversal of form shown by
the PrOngs. who won the champion
shin last a and graced the other
end or the percentage column with
the one lust closed Honorable en-
IS due the Fawns who followed
the trail Of the Tails and finished
fourth, one game behind the Elks, for
much credit is due to LuCiuS
Miller, the junior member of the
herd.
Open Gap at Studebakers.
Although the long season OF the
Studebaker league opened very tight
the Reaches have fOund a way to
the rest OF the crowd and have
opened n gap OF three games over
nearest competitors. But there
are three sets Of ties in which three
teams are involved in the third and ]
