which II is Mt present, or s..
Tho report that there will he 500

BOWLING RESULTS
Eddie Prior Back From Nogales Helps Live Oaks to Win from South Ends-Hgers Trim Harpoons.

Keeping up the fast pace set at the opening of the season, the Live Oaks captured three games in the City league last evening, the South Ends being their latest victim. Eddie Prior just back from the Mexican border was in the winners lineup, and the brand of bowling displayed by this player showed that he still retains much of the prowess he pos sessed before President Wilson issued the call to arms. After making it a runaway match in the first game, the Live Oaks were forced to put on full steam to garner the next two games, the South End boys forcing them to the limit. A margin of four pins separated the teams in the second game while 10 pins was all the victors had in their favor in the final set to. Prior with 117 lead in the high single score while Cage gar nered honors for high total with 299. The Tigers continued on their tri- umphant march toward first place, beating the Harpoons thrice.
 A team from the Royal Typewriter company of Hartford met a picked team styling themselves the Tigers and although the Capitol City quin- tet took two out of the three games the decision was to be awarded to the team having the highest pinfall, which lot fell to the home boys with a total of 1,446 against 1,43e for the visitors
 In the American Paper Goods league, the Pirates defeated the Rus sians three times and the optimists won from the Bones in straight games.
