Special Dispatch to the Intelligencer
PITTSBURGH. Pa. Jan. 21-The
Wheeling delegation OF over firty
bowlers competed today In the tri-
state tournament at the Club alleys
and Bailey Frazier. the crack anchor
OF the Musee team. won the all-events
by the total OF 1.765 pins. His nearest
competitor was Murphy, OF Beaver
Falls. Pa. and Bill Schad. OF Pitts
burgh. Pa. who fell few pins shy
OF Frazier's total. The local bowlers
gave Frazier glad hand throughout
his three events.
Aside from Frazier. who shot sos
In the singles. there were none OF the
Wheeling bowlers above this mark.
Bill Stevenson and Bill Ennis. the
Wheeling veterans. failed to perform
in proper style and could not get up
among the leaders in this class.
Dick Padden's Martins Ferry squad
started OF with a rush in the nve-men
events and looked like they had a
chance to land in the money. but their
third game proved their undoing. and
they finished on the outside.
Frazier and John Brady were high

place. One OF the peculiar features OF
this event was the fact that the Pitts.
burgh association ruled out Bradys
ball, owing 10 imperfection. This
same ball had passed the inspection OF
the officials OF the American Bowling
Congress at Toledo. o.. Buffalo and
Peoria. Ill. and when Il did not pass
in Pittsburgh today II was regarded by
the Wheeling bowlers as a "joke. y
Brady was forced TO use stevenson :
ball. and II is probable that had he
been allowed to use his own. he and
Frazier would have won the doubles
This matter will be taken up with the
American Bowling Congress this week
and Brady's ball will be sent of for
inspection.
Bill Schad. OF Pittsburgh. stated that
the alleys had not been "shellaced. Of
which can be accounted for the low
scores OF the Wheeling bowlers.

BIGGEST ACRE YIELD

The largest yield Of wheat the
Department OF Agriculture has
record OF is hundred and sew
enteen bushels TO the acre on
eighteen acres in the State Of
Washington, says the saturday
evening Post. The second lar
gest yield is a hundred and eight
bushels to the acre ON twelve ae-
les in Idaho. The average yield
Tor the country last year was &c.
venteen bushels.
The largest yield Of oats ID q
hundred and eighty-four busll-
els TO the acre on eight acres IN
Washington; second, q hundred
and sixty-six bushels on eight
eight acres in Colorado. The
average for the United States ~
thirty -eight bushels. The lar
gest yield Of white potatoes Ii
seven hundred and ninety BUSH
els from an acre in California /;
second is seven hundred and for
ty-thrce bushels in Washington.
The average is ninety-six BUSH
els.
Such comparisons might be
extended pretty much through.
out the list of agricultural stap-
les. True, the prize yields are
sometimes not commercially
practicable, for they involve q
quantity of care and labor that
would be impossible on o large
scale with anything like the pre-
sent organization of agriculture.
But there is a happy medium be-
tween the prize yield and the ay
erage that means no mortgage
and a good bank account Tor the
man who hits 1t,
