City Bowling
Gossip
BY LEFTY LEE

Ed Meyer, veteran of local drives,
and Pete Miller of TT. Wayne,
shared top honors in the Century
Alleys fourth annual classic, with
a total of 1913 each for the five
games. Both of these bowlers were
on their game throughout the series,
not an error showing. Third place
was won by another FIT. Wayne
crack, Eddie Kraft, who had 1856.
Other prize winners were Everett
Scott of Ft. Wayne, fourth, 1,040;
Frank Farnan of Chicago, fifth,
1,035, and J. Meyer of Louisville,
sixth, 1000. Roy Haislup, who has
been splitting some wonderful ten
pins fell one stick short Of the prize
list with 1929.
Leuty, after slow start, came
strong and finished with a count
of 253, which gave him the high
single game outside of the prize list.
Ten of the entrants rolled better
than 1000 in this meet. Each squad
started at the appointed time, and
not hitch showed.
The Allison Engineering team
took the lead in the first annual
house sweepstakes at the Indiana
drives with a total of 1928 on games
of 804, 964 and Oil and handicap
of 149. More teams were to take
the drives in this event today. With
the pep shown by the entrants of
this meet the writer predicts that
next years. event will more than
double itself in entrants. Webb Wal
lace had the pins and drivers in
perfect shape.
Looks as if the boys from out OF
town were going to pull down the
major portion Of the local classic
money. At Pritchett's Sunday, Fohn
of Kokomo turned in games of 222
1870, 223, 205, 200 and $50 for total
of 1899. which puts this boy far in
the lead. G. Morton of FIT. Wayne
is next with 1928. Sam Phillips OF
Kokomo has 1908, and Bender OF
FIT Wayne has 1905. However, To-
cal cracks were to take the drives
in this event today, and no doubt
plenty of CHANGES will be made In
the final standings.
Boys who have not entered any OF
the local events can get action to-
day at the Uptown alleys. A five
game handicap sweepstakes is being
rolled on these drives and any one
can enter, and shoot on any alley
all day. This is a handicap event
with an average of 100 being scratch
Mex Sunday the Illinois alleys will
run a $50 doubles sweepstakes. This
is the first event of this nature this
season and large entry can be ex-
pected.
Ft. Wayne was well represented
eleven of the boys from the north
ern part of the State taking in the
classics at the Century and Pritch-
etts.
The Ft. Wayne classic will be
rolled at Stirk's on Jan. Is. Il anc
Is. A large entry will shoot in this
meet and 80 per cent of the prize
list will be awarded the winner. This

Of form, the Techites will cop the
title with ease.
The Six-foot Shortridge aggrega-
ton lacked drive and power and was
swept off its feet by the plucky,
swift-moving Arsenal five.
The Shortridge five took an early
lead which Tech cut down with .
short squirt. The, first half was a
gruelling battle and the Blue and
White finished ahead, II to Is.
Technical started the second hall
with a determined drive and took a
long lead. A desperate attempt in
the closing minutes of play cut down
the Green and White lead but tina
victors cleverly stalled their way
to triumph as the precious seconds
licked away.
Bert Davis was easily the out
standing star of the game. He tossed
in seven field goals and three free
throws, a total of II points. Lowery
counted eleven points for Tech. Pat

the batsman literally kept his head
up and thereby failed tc keep his
eye on the ball.
It is customary with many fast
runners after they once get into
high to run with their heads tilted
slightly upwards. Harry Niles, one
of the fastest runners in the history
of baseball, was Of that type.
Niles, because Of his heads-up
style of running, produced one of
the most ludicrOuS situations /
have ever seen on the ball field.
HOW 1T HAPPENED
THIS style of running, peculiar
Il to Niles, caused him to receive
credit for only single and not a
home run on terrific drive that
carried to the fence. Unquestion-
ably there never was longer single.
Niles was with the Boston Red
Sox at the time, the game being
staged at Washington. With Bos-
ton was a recruit, Danzig, who
played first base. His belief in
Safety-first methods created a Situa-
ton I believe is without parallel.
With Boston one run behind, late
in the game, the eighth inning, I
believe, Niles came to the bat with
Danzig on first base. One man
was out at the time. Since two
runs were needed to put the Red
Sox in the lead, Niles FLASHED the
signal for the hit and run play on
the first ball pitched.
His effort was long drive to
right field, which Danzig after get
ting under way with the pitch, de-
cided might be caught, and stopped
dead when within about twenty feet
of second to await developments.
Niles, early made up his mind
no one was going to catch it. The
drive looked like home run to
him.
PASSED MAN on SECOND
XXTHEN Niles rounded first he
w was travelling in high, carry
ing his head in the air, tilted back
wards. He passed Danzig between
first and second like an express train
slips by freight on side track.
1t happened the Judgment of Miles
was correct. The right fielder failed
to reach the ball and it carried on
TO the fence.
The ball was relayed hurriedly to
the in1eld, but Niles was in consid-
crably ahead of the ball.
Walking back to the bench, we'll
satisfied with his effort, Niles re-
ceived the shock of his life when his
teammates informed him Danzig
only reached second on the play;
that Niles had passed him between
first and second, and, of course, was
automatically out for so doing.
You can well imagine what Niles
later said to Danzig. Unquestion-
ably that near home run was the
longest single / have ever seen in
baseball.
