IAll Local Ten Pen
Bowling Records
Are Shattered

( Bruce" Cook. a young Richmond
college student, and member of the
,pennant winning Cottrell team of the
1 City Tenpin league, was in almost per-
feet form on the recreation drives. and
smashed all exciting local tenpin bowl
Ing records. and elevated them to a
/ height where they undoubtedly win
.remsin for many q day to come.
This SPLENDID young bowler not con
ttent with already holding the high
single game. high consecutive three-
game and high consecutive Ave game
records, which he made last fall de-
SO that his records would safely with
stand the assaults of the city's best pin
idem oiishers during his absence from
tho city on vacation this summer.
| Cook came within hairs breadth
tof bowling two perfect 400" scores.
His first effort resulted in a 27s count.
/ he running eight consecutive strikes
nrd then on a perfect hit the tenpin,
although moved about one and one
half OFF its spot. remained standing.
He cleaned up this spare. and then
! struck oft, giving him eleven 1I4
strikes in this game, Not content
with this exceptionally high game. and
feeling himself in true form, he start
ed after the ruch coveted perfect
score Of 900 His strikes came with
cIcckiike regularity. the pins being
,c1eanly swept OF the alieys and into
the pits, until he had amassed total
tof eleven 40 straight, Not bit fus-
ltrated, he delivered his next ball for
a perfect strike hit, only to have tho
eight" pin stand up amid the swiriins
debris of the other nine as they were
swept into the pit. With any kind
of luck in his favor. he would easily
have attained the, much coveted 500
score for which every bowler Graves.
Cooks former records were: High
single game 269; high three consecu-
tive game total 7s9: and high hve-con-
secutive game total. 1919. He elevated
the high single game record to 2s9;
the high three-consecutive game total
to s3s, and the high hre-game total to
1887. This gave him the splendid
averages of 27s IA for three games
and 257 as for FIVE games. His excep-
tionally high threegare total--s36--is
ono which very seldom has been
equalled throughout the country.

YELLOWSTONE PARK. " Y o.,
July 6-Convincing evidence that the
wild buffalo Of Yellowstone National
Park. the last surviving remnant Of
the great herds which cnce reamed
the western plains, are on the in
crease, instead Of dying out, as was
feared, has been obtained in the dis
covery of new group in the south
east portion of the park. About -
animals were observed, evidently a
part of the old herd, which it is
thought grew so large that some of
its members were forced to break
away and seek new pasturage.
Definite information has been OBJ
tained by park authorities that there
are now more than 100 of the wild
buffalo in the park Formerly there
were only about half that number.
v hen discovered, the new herd was
within five miles Of one of the largest
hotels in the park and a snapshot was
obtained of one of the animals, a
fine bull, probably the first photo
graph ever taken of wild buffalo.
