That band of Decatur duckpin
bowlers who are lowering around
second place in the Mt. Pleasant
League, received an awful fright
last night when the Highlands, the
third place aggregation, threatened
to dislodge them from their runner
up position. Highlands got away
successfully with the first two
games, but was unable to "swing"
the third, despite the fact that q
new league record for high team
game was established during the
evenings activities. When High
lands amassed $40 pins in their first
game, the former record Of 565,
held by Parks, went fluttering away
to the four winds.
Following up his excellent achieve
ment of last week when he created
such furor in duckpin circles by
smashing the individual game rec
ord in the Mt. Pleasant League,
Friede, of the Highlands, put over
high game, 1876, and high set, 352,
OF last nights rolling. Friede is be-
ginning to develop into one of the
best little duckpin performers in the
ranks Of the local army of bowlers
and if he continues his present gait,
he can be depended upon to shatter
some records in the city tournament.
It remained for Anchor Man Trait. of
the Printers. Patent Examiners League,
to set up a brand-new standard in that
loop for high individual game when he
delivered q string Of 162 in the Printers
Diggers set. This remarkable game. to-
gether with two others Of 116 and 1Ol.
gave Pratt a set Of 379. which repre-
sents one Of the best marks ever rolled
in the league in three consecutive
games.
Goodfellows put across two attractive
games of 5l5 and 513 when two were
won from Garrisons in the District
League. Young. sinker man for the

Games of 545. 535 and 553 gave the asso-
citation team a set Of 1888. while Hess
