bowling as well as in other things
worth while. Indianapolis papers are
heralding the unusual things &C

when actual tournament competi-

And il is well that they should.

Engdahl Leads Honor Roll
Elmer Engdahl. Of the Oliver

! the National league, was a good sec
/ ond with 240. while Jimmy Church
/ ill., OF the West Side league. landed
/ the show place with 237.
As Engdahl was only a stride from
a perfect score attention is again
called 10 the necessity OF al local
league players 20 join the South Bend
Bowling association. There has not
i been a perfect score rolled in the
| city since the American Bowling
/ congress insure all big scores and il
would be a pity 10 have a game
rolled in this city without the player
/ being properly rewarded.
The appended roll contains only
| those scores who have been reported
/ by the secretaries OF the various
/ leagues In the city The News Times
would gladly Publish the names Of
| all OF the eligibles, which can only
| be obtained when the secretaries
will submit their reports. The fol-
