The Marquette team of the knights
OF Columbus League gave fitting eX-
hibition for the night set apart in
honor of that organization by bowling
the first set of the tourney of more
than 1.50o. The Marquette organiza-

pins less than that they We're given

put in first position with a count of
$50. but go back to tie for fourth
now. Potter and Warren tied yester

lead i'll the duckpin doubles with a
mark of 626 each
The best work of the singles was
done by Nick Chaconas. Chaconas
knocked down a total OF $40 pins in

his first game, knocked down 10 in

I. To Judge by the vociferous appla use
which greeted every spare and every
;kood shot made by member of the
sAiarquette team there were whole lot
s1f people in the stands mighty glad to
.xee that club come through with the
shighest score of the tourney so far
mot only was applause forthcoming on
Livery shot which demanded credit but
after the set was finished and il was
announced that the Marquette team had
registered the best mark of the tour
IA ment so far, the stands went wild
half dozen times and loud cheers
were given for the members of that
quint.
Mccormick. anchor man for the Mar
quette team. proved the star, his work
being much better than that of any
other member of the club. Mccormick
started off with a score of SO, but he
quickly bettered his stride and knock
ed down l2I pins in each of his last
two games. McCormack's set was lust
the same that which gave Chaconas
high berth in the singles $40

tenpin team from Buffalo last night is
a real veteran of the alleys He has
rolled in eighteen national tournaments
