the many bowling fans, attracted
by a prOspecitvely hot battle,

victory when Baum fell down in
his first game and rolled a pitiful
81 to Waidelich's l02.
Then Johnny put on his fighting
face and went to 1t. He rolled 131
against 104 for Waidelich in the
second string and was fhead by ten
pins. The crucial moment came in
the ninth box of the last game
after Wailelich had struck in the
seventh and blown spare in the
eight.
In the ninth Baum spared and

for eighty-five additional seats.
Today there is not a single seat

performed.
Tilden and Richards have just con-
cluded their East.West engagements
in California, but the advent Of the
two leading women racquerters In
the country will be watched with
considerable interest.
Mrs. Mallory sails abroad to meet
the famous Mile. Suzanne Lengley
shortly, and is said to be working
forward with the one idea of settling
for all time the famous controversy
which cropped up when the French
woman proved such a flivver in New

Mrs. Mallory ranks at number
one in the U. s. n. l.. 7. A. list.
