GOOD MARKS DURING THE WEEK

The splendid weather this fall has had
a tendency 90 lessen the patronage at
the local alleys, sometimes causing Mr.
Alleyowner to make red figures on the
wrong side OF the ledger This condltinon
should not prevail even IL one would

polished pins stacked on the spots and
their racks we'll supplied with first-class
balls.
In Omaha and a few other midwest

alleys TO be equipped in first-class way
they should make some individual or or.
ganized effort to keep filled as before
the present oft vacated runwsys.
