Seven hundred pin knights have been
in action during the past week on the
/ new alleys at Camp Emery competing
In the singles, doubles and with teams
| In the three classes of bowling in the
second annual tournament held under
| the auspices of the Atlantic Coast Bowl
ing Association. .--f
Even with this number Of bowIers
spilling the pins from noon to midnight
each day. no record of national import
| ance has been made, while the scores, as
whole, have been below the average
OF former tournaments In the three
! classes.
The duckpin shooters cannot hope to
equal the marks set by the Atlantic
| coast bowlers at the tournament held in
; Boston last year, as this year the bowl
ers are shooting at the smaller pins with
small-size ball.
The featuring work of the past week
was the rolling OF T. F. Kelley, of the
Crescent team, of Lowell, Mass, In the
| duckpin singles, as he hung up a score
OF 47 in his trio of attacks on the
naples.
Dantz and G. schawbI, of the Cream Of
Kentucky team, from Buffalo, also
Jumped into prominence In the tenpin
doubles when they smashed the wood
for count OF 1,137 which is two pins
| better than the mark made by Lambert
and Kline, Of Philadelphia.
One of the big surprises of the rolling
to date was the good score made by the
| Royal team, of this city, in candleplns,
as this is a green game" to the local
0owlers and no one looked to the Dis
trict team to hang up any kind of score
| This bunch went out and got them in
the second squad Saturday night. and
| recorded score OF 1887, through the
| good work OF Lewis, who grabbed Off
set of 333.
The schedule this week will bring some
OF the best bowlers in the East TO this
city, and many of the marks to date,
are expected to 60 by the board. The
| local fans are awaiting anxiouslv for the
District Leaguers to take the alleys on
tuesday night as many are of the opinion
That the high duckpin mark of Isis. made
by the Marquette team of the knights
OF columbus League. will be easy pick
| tngs for this bunch of sharpshooters.
Masonic Night Is also scheduled for this
week. The bowlers of the Masonic
League will hold the Iimelight on
Wednesday night and a grand time is
| promised the fans by President Albert
Haas
Elks' Night which is slated for satur
day is also being looked forward to as
one OF the biggest nights of the tourna-
| AlOiii dsSdlC, N j., new
York, Richmond, Wheeling, w. Va,
Boston. and Revere. Mass, along with
the local Elks., will make the night a
merry one
The fans will be on hand early today
as in the II o'clock squad, Frank Sher-
mann. the senteel proprietor of the New
Royal Bowling Alleys, and Harry Krauss,
the local crack, are slated to shoot in
the candlepin doubles. In this same
squad George Isemann and Pop"
HALEY, two of the real boosters for
the tournament are also scheduled to
bowl. This pair of boosters and the pair
from the Royal Alleys, expect to smash
things open in the doubles and a big
supper at the New Willard is in store
for the high team.
G. w. Chandler and E. Armstrong from
! Boston. who rolled candlepin doubles
shortly before the midnight hour on
Saturday night, hit the tall pins for a
count of 81. which is expected to bring
home a little of the bacon
| The Colonial team, from Boston, Mass,
which is shooting in the 9:15 p. m. squad
will shoot duckpins instead Of tenpias,
which the program reads. and the local
crack Arcade team will be on the alleys
at the same time. AL Boltz, one of the
best tenpin bowlers of Philadelphia, will
be seen in action in the singles on Tues
day afternoon. Many of the local
followers of the big pin game are look
ing forward anxiOusly to the scores
