pin teams will roll: the Agricultural
Interbureau five ard Rodiers Real
Rollers will try their capabilities on
the new runways.
The Southeast League has been max
ing preparations for this evening TO-
a long while, and it is likely that one
Of the largest crowds that will watch
local pin spiliers during the tourney
will be present. Each of the Southeast
organizations has good following and
the "rooters'' are likely to be on hand
in full force to encourage their ia
vorites to boost the team scores. which
are still low.
The duckpin bowlers will take the
alleys at SIS O'Clock. or thereabout.
and will hold the attention of the spec

The Royals No established the best
tenpin sci rolled last night They
knocked down total Of 2.540 pins. beat
ing all other scores by a cons!dera BILE
margin. The Agriculture club was sec

positions on the alleys-they were big

players making up the team Mr.. GUIDE
knocked down l02, 121 and l09 pins.
These seem more like duckpn scores
than tenpins, and if high the least said
about the others the better All the
members of the team were good bowlers
though, but some fellow played a joke
putting metal inside the holes in the
dig balls II was only natural. there
rore. that the players found exceptional
dimculty in counteracting the attraction
OF the cutters for the balls. Had this
nor been true they might have kept the
balls on the alleys. and thus produced
a better chance for them to come in
pins would undoubtedly have been
upset. This may NOT be the right e.
