Grand Central Palace.

Arthur Morris. Of the Melrose Bowl
ing Club, OF New York, was the star
performer in the singles yesterday
afternoon and last night, with total
OF 625, in the National Bowling Asso-
citation tourney at the Grand Central
Palace. Morris gathered in 186 In his
first attempt, and it looked dubious
for this Bronx amateur. However. he
came back with a neat 233, following
which he had 206.
One T. Walker, OF this city, Tailed
214, and Jack Rush, another OF the
local lights, placed 500 TO his credit.
1t is generally conceded that when
man can roll double century average
he Is "going some" Strictly speaking,
he is, although it often happens that
in a national tournament due credits
does not fall on the shoulders OF .
man who achieves the feat, deserving
though he may be.
Thus far il looks as II 600 would b
necessary to gain position in the
singles prize list, fact which Is sin"
gularly significant as to the abilities
of the amateur bowlers.
Out Of the Pennsylvania coalfelds
there have come some pinknights who
are perfectly capable of great things
on the alleys. Fred. McGee, OF Scran.
ton, tailed SOB, while his townsman,
John Taylor, came within a single
pin of that mark. All OF these coal
barons prefer the straight ball from
the right side rather than the more
uncertain hook-uncertain on new
alleys.
A question of the Interpretation OF
rules arose in the case of Frank Bruno,
of the Onaws Bowling Club. In ths
fourth frame of his second game in ths
singles a silver from the mono 70"
carefully selected maple Gall ru"~-,.
are supposed TO be OF hard maple
therefore not liable 70 have sliverD
stuck in the buckskin sole OF his righs
bowling shoe.
Bruno went sprawling ten feet be.
yond the foul line, and the sixteen
pound ball in its fall narrowly missed
his head. Bruno sprained his thumb
so that he was unable to continue.
The re'er' called foul, but Bruno
properly refused to continue because
Of his thumb.
He asked for q postponement OF the
rest Of his games, and although there
was some doubt about the decision u
ultimately came TO the point where
pick up where he left off later on IN
the week Meanwhile Bruno hustled
to a drug store for some iodine. He
had al in the first game and was work
ing on a triple when the accident oc-
Cured.
Fred Dieckmann, Of this city, had
fine chance 70 do something worth
while, but he funked in the last frames
Of the final game and had to be con-
tent with 500.
In the doubles the best score Of ths
day was the 1854 OF Harry Freese and
william II. Schrader, OF Reading. who
might have done ever so much better
but for breaks in the crucial third
game. The score, however, was good
for third place.
John Taylor and Jack Hutchins, OF
Scranton, tossed the pins around Tor
1,149, which took ninth.
In the five-man fixture last night the
New Rochelle Bowling Club, OF New
Rochelle. n. Y, rolled into sixth p lace
with ISIS, which makes the sixth
team TO exceed the championship total
Of the oldtime Corinthians in the
frat tournament in 1907. Even so, the
Westchester County pin knights might
have Jared better but for a fall down
in the final after having rolled 9S6 and
979. In the last the combination
totslled only 852.
Other fve-man team scores were;
Sisco, New York, $3.50; Major-Dells,
New York, 1884; Subway, Reading.
Penn, $500; Oneida, New York, 1856.
and Ravenswood Boat Club, Long ISIS
and City, 1853.
Major Gage, the left-handed tourns-
ment secretary. who led for Major
Dells, tailed 173 and 100 In the first
two games, but came back strongly In
the final, even though he worked from
the off-side with pa clean.
