Contests will Re Held in
Close DiStanCe-City Bowl
erS to Clash.

With local boWlers going IN fine
style and tournaments being held ia
several neighb0ring localities, our own
bowlers are becoming tournament
anxious. The big classics, the Ameri-
can Bowling congress and Indiana
state tournaments, VII be held with
in easy access, the former being held
in Peoria, H. while the state event
is scheduled for Mishawaka.
But the annual city tournament an
invitation affair. held 90 the Eiks'
temple each season. viii take place
this year during the holiday period.
This event is one which is looked for
ward to by all the cracks Of South
Bend and Mishawaka, as ii gives them
a chance 10 test the strength OF the
current Ombinations and serves as
preparatory effort Tor the big classics
that follow later. The exact date of
the tournament viii be established by
the committee in charge during the
week.
Post Double Century Marks.
There does not seem to be any limit
to the splendid high scores posted by
the bOwlers this season and the beauty
of it is that it is becoming contagious.
But il seems that the Elks are keep
ing well in front Fred Hart again
showed the way with 676 in the two
men team tournament. while Bill Hol-
land was right on his neck with Go
in the same event Bob Schnelle
pressed the leaders closely in the reg
ular league play with ga while Chef
Noggle, subbing on the Bucks, came
through with 600.
In the CA. club league Jimmy
HaUgan had a good night, going $40
in consistent style, showing three
double centuries with 223 high, for
the Colts. Two other cracks came
through with 200 averages, Ira Cover
OF the divers showing an even coo,
while AdOlph Suhr Of the Ball Bands
brought home 500, both players taking
part in the Factory league contests.
To Reward High scores.
While bowling has been very sue
cessful this year at the Elks temple
and players we'll rewarded in prizes
OF several events. a new feature is to
be introduced. new line of cOmpe-
titiOn is to be inaUgurated pertaining
TO high score for each Vice., either
in league, tournament or free lance
play. handicap being supplied in all
events, for which a box of Plantista
cigars will be awarded at the close of
each week
The two-men tournament at the
Elks' temple last week was won by
Hart and Van Kirk with a total of
1904, one pin short of the winners of
the previous week Schnelle and HoI-
land were second with 1921, while
Flanagan and Olsen were third with
1875. The latter team broke into the
prize list ct the 18th hour. just before
the close of the weeks play.
Studebakers Start Again.
Two leagues. the Stude0aker and
Trio organization, started on another
campaign the past week, the schedule
providing well into spring. The result
of the first week would infer that none
of the clubs want TO get a big start in
the Studebaker league, as there are
no first and last teams in the percent
age column, all of the contests being
decided two games to one But the
Trio league made matters more de-
cisiye as the Cylinders and Wind
shields won all of their games. while
the Horns and PistOns failed to show.
In striking contrast TO other organ
izatiOns. where all clubs are striving
10 reach the top of the percentage
column. conditions appear 10 be ex-
actly reversed in the Walther league,
where half OF the clubs are tied for
last place. During the greater part
of the season the battle has been on
between the Ramblers and Never
sweats. But they have been joined
by the Seniors and Interstates.
Have Good League Races.
No better race is being fought any
where than in the Factory league.
