Six records went by the boards during
yesterdays bowling in the tournament OF
the A. c. B. A. at Camp Emery, four
going in the afternoon, while two places
changed hands during the evening ses-
sion.
The Sherman duckpln team rolling dur
ing the evening session clipped the little
ducks for a 1645 total. which gives them
possession OF first place in this classifca-
ton with thirty pin margin. The Roy
ais with 1sos TO their credit grabbed of
third honors being two pins in the lead Of
the Arcade quint.
The first five places In the honor list
for the duckpin teams are now In the
hands Of Warrington bowlers, the Mil
Ter Bros, German Cafe Of Baltimore, and
the Palace team Of this city being crowd
ed out by the Royals and shermans.
Horace Elmer, rolling with the Sher-
mans, was the man responsible for his
teams high score. During all three
games, Elmer carried his teammates, and
but for this mans individual work, the
record could not have been made. In the
hrst game he knocked down the little
pins for lis count, coming back In the
second with 1o2 In the third. when his
fellow teammates were falling OF and
getting bad splits, Elmer came through
with his highest game, l22 being the total
Only one tenpin team worked during
the night the A. Baltz team of Philsdel-
phia drawing the honors, but their score
fell way beyond the honor list.
Six of the Washington bowlers which
were scheduled to roll tomorrow in the
duckpin singles and doubles, have given
their day to the Philadelphia pin splllers,
SO that they may get back home as soon
as possible. 1t is possible that the local
bowlers will roll in the Philsdelphia mems
places later in the tournament.
Summary:
Four places went to newcomers In
the afternoon session yesterday among
them going one first prist place, one
second, one fourth and one fifth. Won
Lossberg and Sweiger in the tenp,n
doubles clipped the first position show
ing the rest of the teams which have
rolled, back one place. These Balti-
more bowlers knocked the big pins
down for a 1885 count, taking the
first place with a margin of forty
nine pins.
In view OF the margin between the
new holder of the first position ana
the runner-up. it is expected by those
who have followed the tournament
throughout that this mark will stand
for many moons. and in case any one
does take the place away from the
present holders, that without a doubt
they will annex first money in this
class.
The Palace ten pin team of Rich
nond annexed second place in the
classification driving down the other
teams one peg. In their event asia
Of the big naples fell leaving ninety
five pins between them and the hold
er OF the first honors.

took fourth place in the singles
knocking down fifty-two pins more
than he did when his team rolled.
