R. R. Y. M. c. A. Bowling Notes


Under the leadership of Acting Capt.
Billy" Hlll. ine D,sbursers. though
badly handicapped by the absence of
several of their best bowlers, annexed
three games to the won column at the
expense of the Electricians. The Elec
tricians were far below their usual
FORM and the going was pretty soft
for the Disbursers. Hill and Canning
easily starred for the winners, while
White and Walton showed up to ad-
vantage for the losers.
The Auditors came through in good
style ana captured two games from
the fast Transportation team last Fri
day night. The result evidently shows
that the Auditors have finally emerged
fl ON the slump under which they have
been laboring Tor the last three weeks.
By landing these two games the WIN
ners went back into third place.
The Auditors were going strong in
the first contest and won out by nine
teen pins. Capt Rider, with los, and
Weeks, with 100, were the best bowlers
in this contest.
Losing tne nrst game did not take the
fight out of the Transportation bunch,
Dut on the other hand they put up a
stubborn resistance, and it, was due
to Heck's good bowling that the
Money Handlers" won this game by
three pins. Fulk, with 96, was also
instrumental in helping to win this
contest.
Capt. Williams Transportation boys
came back in the third with the old
fight that made them famous Two years
ago, and by dropping the little naples
for a 500 game trimmed the AUDITORS
by forty-three pins. Dickinson, Grimes
and Shipman. by rolling good scores
were mainly responsible for Trans
"a
Rider. for Auditors, also knocked out
good scores.
In anticipation of the long expected
meeting between Southern, the lead
ers, and Freight, the runners-up, a
large and enthusiastic crowd of root
ers was on hand to pull for their re-
spective teams. They were well re-
warded for their loyalty by witnessing
the hardest fought games of the year.
Southern got off to Il good start. ana
when the tenth box rolled around had
comfortable lead. But the Freight
boys Were full of fight, and when
Warthen started with a spare. which
was closely followed by strikes by
Capt. Mark and Campbell. the noise was
terrific, and things certainly looked
ever, had hard luck in counting on
their marks and Southern won out with
a total of 496 against i6S for the los
ers.
l. E. Smith, with los, was high man.
but was closely pressed for first hon
ors by Streiter, with LOG, and Triplett.
with the same score. The latter has
certainly had a lot of nard luck this
year, but the way he has been hitting
them for the last six games surely IN
dicates that he. has finally struck his
stride. Mark and Campbell for Freight
had 100 and 102, respectively.
The second game for time looked
to be going Southerns way, but the
Freight boys kept marking and count
ing heavily and finally won out by ten
pins Campbell showed the way for
the winners by knocking the little sticks
for a total of III, which practically
cinched the game for Freight. To Coe.
with los, also goes lot of credit for
Freight's win. Triplett and Stanley,
for Southern. also shot for good games,
each totaling 109.
The third game started with the
Freight boys hitting the pins with a
vengeance, and it looked for while
that Southern was doomed to defeat
again. Capt. Humrickhouses men,
however, had a lot of that old reserve
stuff left. and when Freight started
splitting the pins in the latter part of
the game Southern began marking with
a consistency that took the heart out
of the Freight boys, and put the game
on ice in the last three boxes. Triplett
was again in the limelight for South
ern, and due to his efforts and those
of w. L. Smith victory was possible for
the leaders. Warthen. lead-off man for
Freight. struck his stride in this con-
test and totaled out 116.
