Kramer, of Rosedales, Goes Into
Second Place In National
Championship Tourney.

Twice the total of 648 OF Howard y.
Chickering. of this city, which led in
the singles fixture OF the championship
tournament of the National Bowling
association, was beaten yesterday al
ternoon and last evening at the Grand
Central Palace. George Newman, or
New York, set the spectators agasp
when he rolled total Of SO and wens
into the lead. Frank Kramer. OF the
Rosedale Bowling Club. OF New Iork,
came along with 657, which relegateo
Chickering to third position.
Newman made a discouraging start.
He could not find" the alleys, and reg
istered misses in the fourth and NTH
frames of his first game. Then ne con-
cluded il wiser TO get another ball and
borrowed one from a friend. The eifecs
was magical. lie rolled Clearly after
that and was able 70 get 2O4 out OF MA
first attempt.
Eight successive strikes was the way
he performed In the second game and
wound I'D with 256. Everything looked
pleasant for this Harlem youngster,
but he could not get the strike Dali
working In the final. An indifferent MT
in the ninth square permitted the s-s-I
pins TO stand wabbing. and It looked
like a difficult split, but the 9 pin fell
first, then the 7 fell forward and car
ried away the 4, leaving him nothing 70
do until the next frame. he doubled
and closed with 2lb.
There were other good individual
scores, notably the 623 Of Gavin Bell
of Newark, who rolled with the Wein-
garth Whatton club. lie began with
228, getting 1914 in the second, with TWO
splits in as many frames 70 begin with

along with 6l6, obtained through the
scores of 229, 1873 and pol. l.: Van
Ness. Of Newark, was another double
century roller with 500. =,
None of the two-man team. could
reach the coveted l,20O-mark, the oesS
effort OF the day resulting In 1855 for
7 Frvlinck and A. Zober. OF Passaic:
Good, even bowling was the result OK
their advent. Jack Geraghty and
George Smith, of Paterson, had l,l43'
The veteran Charles K. Starr, with
Louis Westphal as a partner, could not
get going. though Westpnsl, after an
Indifferent start, registered 200 twice.
The total was ! JOB.
Paul Loetje, who rolled so remark
ably on Thursday evening with tho
Rosedales, found himself In different
situation when he took another pair OF
alleys yesterday for the doubles. He
began with 154, but tailed 200 and 40
in the other games. William Hens
Loetje's partner, made III, 227 and 2Oi.
The pair had 1874 for total. I'D.
ward Moran and Jack Armitage, OF
Paterson, scored l,l4l.
Two towering totals were registered
in the course of the fve-man games
the best being the 2,9l8 OF Metro
politan No. 1, Of this city. Frank NJ;
Clute, former president of the National
Bowling Association, was anchor for
this combination, which is practically
that of the New York Athletic Club
and when 1t came TO the last two
frames he ran into two wide open
splits. Otherwise, the "Mets" might
have gone into second place, instead OF
now being fourth.
The Weingarth- Whatton combination
from Newark marked up 2,S32, and al
though big enough TO win almost any
ordinary match, merely placed the
team in ninth place. These were the
only changes in the fve-man leaders.
The remainder of the teams will take
the alleys to-day, and the singles and
doubles will be completed tonight.
The tournament will come 70 close a.
