BANQUET AFTER PINNING
One Hundred Try to Capture
Prizes by Hitting Number
! One Pin.

'Belleville Night" the night which
marked the opening of the seventh
annual renewal of the Star headpin
tournament on the Iroquois alleys,
was certainly a big affair. There
We're one hundred bowlers last night
and something like twice that many
striving for chance to see the
others do their little trick The Belle
vile bowlers and their supporters
had a banquet, and more than $50
took part in that.
The pinning started before o'clock
and it was not until the "wee hours
of the morning" that the last squad
took to the tournament alleys. The
committee in charge, composed of
Pete Shines, Pete Deighan and George
ueustes, worked hard for the sue
cess of the affair and their laborS
were well rewarded.
AS usual, the chief interest in the
pinning was manifested in the efforts
of the bowlers to win the watch-fobs
which The Star offers for scores of
100 or better. Silver fobs are handed
out to those with scores between 100
and 40, while a gold trophy is award
ed those who have marks of 10 or
better In spite of the fact that just
one hundred had a try last night, not
a single performer was able to cap
ture one of the trophies. There were
not a few who came close to the COW
eted mark. 70. Pohl came through
with 90, but he had a miss that caused
him to fail to realize his ambition.
There were others who did well for
a while, but the inevitable miss or so
upset calculations. On the other
hand, there were bowlers who never
hit the headpin at all in twelve tries,
MI 1fxr Of
attention from the rooters.
There was keen interest as the first
bowlers took to the alleys last night.
Following the rules of the game, each
performer had six balls on one alley
and then shifted over to the other
drive. For team No. l Kahler was
the first performer and he had a
pretty hit on his first ball. nine pins
flying into the pit. Monks, who rolled
as the topliner for team No. 2, was
not as fortunate and failed to hit the
headpin at all. The misses came thick
and fast after that and nobody in
the first squad came anywhere near
the century mark. Not a few of the
bowlers were able to get strikes when
they did reach the headpin, but the
errors We're numerous. Fouls, too,
were in evidence, and Referee Gasner
had his work cut out for him IN
watching the line.
Team No, 3 had few bowlers who
could hit the headpin and the quintet
only accounted for Id, Team No.
did somewhat better, but nobody
gave any signs of capturing a fob
1t was much the same with the sue
ceeding squad. Both c. Schaeffer
and J. Dunn had eleven misses, but,
on the single occasion that they did
get to the headpin. they accounted
for strikes, their total, therefore, be-
ing ten. williams hit the headpin In
the first frame and knocked down
six pins and after that he failed to
hit it at all.
w. Mougel, of Team No. Z, did the
trick of hitting the No. / pin not
at all and garnered for his score
This trick is turned a good many
times during a Star headpin tourna-
ment, but Mougel had the honor OF
being the first zero man this sea-
son. Edward Pohl, who rolled first
for Team No. s. had the honor OF
rolling the high score of the night
