CHAMPION BOWLER HERE.
In 10 String Match Against Masonic
Players Poehler Won by Score of l.
063 to 941.

The visit of Paul Poehlcr of Boston,
champion candle pin bowler of New
England, to the Masonic alleys Tues
day afternoon and evening was n
great event to the followers of the
popular indoor game in which there is
noted n steady growth Of interest To-
cally.
In the afternoon Pochler bowled ten
or more strong strings with different
members of the Masonic league teams.
His average was well above the 100
mark. Poehler made very favorable
impression, not only by his skill as a
bowler, but by his agreeable way of
giving instruction and advice to those
who wish to improve their game.
Several suggestions which he made
in regard to improvement in the al
leys will be put into effect as soon as
possible. He said the alleys compared
favorably with those in any private
club, and the bowlers here showed re-
remarkably good form for amateurs
without extensive experience.
In the evening 4 large audience was
present to witness 4 10-string match
in which each member of the Ma
sonic first team bowled two strings
against Poehler. The north side al
ley had been arranged as gallery,
with seats running its full length.
The expert won every string, and his
total was 1868 to GA for the local
men. Crowell pushed Poehler hard in
one round, with 116 against 100, and
Marks, bowling on a spare in his last
box, had chance to win once from
the visitor, but was able to get only
two pins on his last ball and finished
with an even 100 against 104 for
Poehler Poehler s breaks were not of
the lucky kind, but he aroused great
enthusiasm by his ability to pick sin
gle pins and to make good clean-ups
from hard combinations.

AT the evening session addresses
were delivered by c. o. Ormsbee of
keting Maple Goods to the Western
Customer, and by John c. circuit, sec
rotary of the committee of agriculture
of the Boston chamber of commerce,
who spoke on Ways of Living, Distri-
button and Consumption of Farm
Products, Especially Referring to Ma
pie Sugar and Maple Syrup.
Mr.. Ormsbee told of some expert
ences while in the middle West and of
the quality of the maple products sold
there at II high price. He found that
the retail dealers in the Mississippi
valley prefer to buy of Chicago whole
salers because they can get any guam
tity of goods desired within two days,
while to order from Vermont requires
two weeks before the receipt of the
goods and cash is demanded with the
order by sugar makers while 80 days
credit is given by the wholesaler. He
said the only way to deal with the re-
tailers of that section would be to es-
tablish cooperative distributing
cdlter in Chicago.
Mr.. circuit referred at length to the
different classes of consumers and said
that those who buy maple products are
those who can afford Injuries. Intel
| igent and up-to-date methods. of al
vertsing and well packed products in
stead of the present methods of hap
hazard shipping and packing and grad
ing will do much to benefit the sugar
makers and their industry.
A study of the centers where the
people live who can afford the product
is necessary for the advantageous dis
position of it, for any product should
90 to the consuming center that viii
pay the highest prices. There must be
a highly organized system of distribu
ton in order to successfully compete
with the distributors of inferior ant
adulterated products. Mr.. Orcutt 7
talk was illustrated with lanterr
