BOWLING PUZZLE
3O4 PINS; HOW?
SchueII Sets Record of Four
Points Over Triple Century
Marx, Says SChneIIe--GOS-
sip of City Leagues.
BY II \ SCHNELLE.

The days Of miracles are not passed;
at least in the bowling game. This was
clearly demonstrated last week at the
Elks temple. A perfect score at
bowling aggregates a count of 800.
constituted of twelve strikes which
can be obtained by the rules of a
game. But a player accumulated 3O4
during such prescribed period and the
successful one is explaining to his
friends how it can be accomplished.
Mr.. Charles Schuell, of the Tylers,
was the perpetrator n is the first
person known to perform the feat.
Two years ago Mr.. O'Leary came
within one pin, that is of completing
a spare, in surprising the 300 mark
at the Indiana club, which caused
such a furore that the alleys were
shortly afterward flooded and threat
ened with destruction by fire, but
were spared through timely action by
Chief Grant and his fire fighters.
What the achievement of Mr.. Schuell
will eventually bring is a matter Of
conjecture but the feat will at least
bring him into national renOwn.
Schuell's Teammates a Down.
In spite Of the two-men score per-
Torrance the Tylers lost the game to
the Bills, Schuell's surplus o~verawing
his teammates 10 the extent of cOn
fusion that they ever lost the two sub
sequent games and anded with a thud
to the most obscure position in the
percentage column. However, the
performance gives Mr.. Schuell absO-
Lutte permission to have his name in
scribed on the Stockdale cup. the tro-
phv awarded TO the successful player
during each months play. Capt. +.
l.. Dennis of the Elks, registered a
mark Of 271 but it was thrown in the
discards.
Holiday festivities at the temple
prevented the playing OF all the sched-
uled games but did not deter the
beers from increasing their lead in
Elks league. taking two games from
their nearest ~contenders, the Stays.
while the TOasts lost ground by losing
the odd game TO the HOofs. But the
win OF the Bills over the Tylers prov
ed a factor among the leaders as they
jumped up TO within two games of the
leaders.
Bottom to Top In Fifteen Games.
Going from the very last position to
the top of the heap in 10 games is a
remarkable feat and this is what the
Tails accomplished in the Antlers
league during the past five weeks.

away. A feature Of the week was the
Rowdies breaking into the percentage
column and armed the right to retain
their membership in the league. The
preliminary has but two more
weeks to run after which a longer
schedule will be inaugurated.
Another body of bowlers make their
their debut in the near future, the
advent being the reorganization of
the Oliver league with headquarters
at the Y. NJ. G. A. alleys. Since the
destruction of the public alleys the Oh
ivers have been without a home, fore
ing abandonment of play. The reOr-
ganization will consist of a siX-club
organization, which Is expected to. be
perfected this week.

This week marks the closing of the

record percentage at the top of the
