BOWLING CHANCE.
Houck Team Loses Many
Points; Bryan's Slump of
Last Week Continues.

Quite a number Of changes were made
through the bowling Of the past week on
the Cactus club alleys In the team stand
ings particularly, the changes were quite
marked. IN the Big league the HOuct
team, which has been making a runaway
race Of IL for several weeks, was hauled
back until now any team in the league has
good chance to finish top. The drop
OF the Houck team was partly due to the
Improvement Of the other teams and partly
TO the fact that the team lost its old reli-
able captain. Mr.. Houck, who has left for
Arizona, where he viii take charge Of
mine. AS HoucE did not roll last week. he
retains his average of 1856 Lee Davis con-
tinued his fine rolling and is close behind
Cap with an average Of 1S5. Joe Bryan con-
unued the slump which hit him few weeks
back. and is now In tie for third, with
four weeks Bryan has been dropping stead
lily back and in that time has lost no less
than SIX points from his average. Bafe Hill
is beginning TO climb and is now fifth with
l79. Harry Carr is sixth with us, and J.
J. Barela seventh with 176. Johnny An
dreas. through his magnificent bowling dur
ing the week, climbed into the next position
with 175. W. D. Stratton, who last
year led the league, has been shuffled back
during the early stages of the season Just
as he did last year, however, Stratton has
begun to squirt and promises to again finish
very close TO the top Of the heap il he does
not lead the bunch.
Magic Still Leads IndustrinIs.
In the Industrial league Dutch Maggie is
still showing a clean pair Of heels to the
rest Of the pack, his average Of IFS leaving
him full 10 points ahead Of K. H. Aber.
the second man, who is four points ahead
OF II. Debruhi. holding third position with
1872 One point behind. comes the Globe
Mills new star Bud Ward. who in six games
has averaged 161. o. J. Binford and l. D.
Gilbert are tied for fifth with I6O. while
$. A Vaughn and l. A. Sherman are tied
for the next position with 1871 IN this
league too. there has been a big change.
The two tail 'enders have begun to crawl
up on the leaders until all now have n
chance, and the Globe Mills team. through
taking four points from the Laundry team.
has climbed out Of the cellar for the first
time in many weeks. The addition Of Bud
Ward to the Milers has apparently injected
new life into the team.
Critchett Crowds Abbott.
In the Smelter league there has been
little change in the standing OK the teams.
However Abbott. who has held a nice lead
In individual standing. is being closely
pressed by Critchett whose 162 leaves him
only a single point behind Abbott. Bateman
is still third with $50. with Rheinheimer
light on his heels with 159. Fenner is
fifth with 157. and Foster sixth with 15G
Ia the Federal league practically the only
,hange has been that Wilkinson, new
man in this company, through his Big
eague bowling has gone into a tremendous
cad. With an average Of III for nine
yames Wilkinson is s points ahead Of Sire
points ahead Of Soderhom- II Wilkinson
s not rolling far over his head he certainly
las no business in this company, but should
be rolling in the Big league.
