Phenomenal.
Ga SCHWEITZERJ


Bowling averages in the Arcade
Tcnpin league took a great upward
bound during the week ending we'd
nesdaN. October is, some of the maj
vidual and team scores being nothing
less than phenomenal Every team
contostng during the above period eN-
ccoded 2,400 pins per match, and two
teams went over the 2,500-pin match
total
Middaugh of the TeXacos bowled
high average for the week with lS'
l-3 pins, Hance of the Exchange Ma
tionals being second. with an average
of 1870; Pitcher averaged in the first
one lSS 2-3 pins. ON account of tins
article being prepared weekly, pre-
v.ous to the bowling of Fridays match
game, the report covers from Friday
of the previous week to Wednesday OF
the week Just ended, inclusive.
ON Friday, the 18th, the Exchange
team won two out of three from the
Indian Trading company team, al
though the latter bowled 2,4OS pins
for anaverage per man of 100 S-l5, TO
the Exchange total of 2,4O5 pins, for
an average of 100 Ia pins, f.. w.
Hancc was high man for the match,
with a total of 566 pins, and also with
high game, with 1875 pins in the see
ond game His other games in TINS
match were 1870 in the first and 1Sl
in the last. He is considered one oil
the most consistent bowlers in the
league and Is expected to increase
rather than to lessen his already high
average, as the season progresses.
Others who starred in this match were
Sanford, with an average of 172 %
pins: Mckee with 172 average; Ed
Wicnecke with 167 Ia pins average,
and Howard with an average of loO
1-3 All the games were won by de-
cisive margins, with the exception OF
| the second which the Exchange won
by only SO pins. Wicnecke and Mckee
| each put up triple strikes in this con-
| test. and several had doubles. San
ford led the split aggregation with
| five in the match. but bowled we'll III
| spite of them.
Monday Capped Climax.
MONDAYS match was the prize pack
| age in many respects as the Texacos
howled a larger pin total (2,554 pins, ,
than had ever previously been bowled
in a match game in Tulsa, the best
previous record having been put up
two seasons ago by the famous TURK
| team, several of whose members are
again bowling this year. The TeXacos
! first game was also a seasons record
being $50 pins, but this was subse-
| UucntlN broken on wednesday MS h'
by the greatly strengthened Aetnaiz-
crs with S97 pins. Middaugh was the
star par excellence of the match and
of the week, his high game of 22S pins
in the last game being high game, and
has match average of 1877 l-3 being
i'm a class alone. Other 200 scores
rolled in this match were 221 pins b,
Mex crren in the first game, and 20:
pins by Pitcher in the last game. Th'
Pitchers were beaten as to total pins
but they succeeded in taking two ou
of three games regardless of that fact
as they finished very strongly in tn
last two frames of the last game, Whil'
the Texacos were very unfortunate a
to splits, the Pitchers having lead o
10 pins upon the last games totaI
Other averages than Middaugh's 10
the TeXacos were as follows: Mcker
rem 1S5 % pins, Mccoy 164 l-3 pins
, Goss 1853 l-3 pins, and Stewart 145 z
pins. For the Pitchers: Pitcher is
% pins average, Boiling 166 "a pm
Ewing 164, II. A. Wienecke 1853, an
McCollum 161 Ia pins. The fact tina
the Texacos bowled 2,554 pins and tn
Pitchers 2,52S pins for total for IN
two teams of 5,0S2 pins establishes
mark for all other teams in tue leagu
to shoot at, and it is unlikely that
will he equaled again until seVera
months of bowling have improved IN
, general averages considerably. "A
