Pozcer Co. Bo1cling Notes

1 anything startling it was a great match to watch between Beardslee and Potter. Both teams showed they were working under a strain and consequently the boys missed mark after mark. When 110 is the highest game marked up for any of the fellows it will give you an idea how they were going. Good and bad bowling was mixed up aplenty. Beafdslee got So excited he forgot to collect the bowling fees from his fellows. You should have seen him chasing around af- ter the games.
 We think that leather finger covering Ben Mellor is exhibiting is just a teaser. Ben is rolling bet ter it seems with four fingers than five.
 Joe Blum expressed his opinion to the league secretray for schedul- ing the Potter and Beardslee match on 1S and 14 alleys. Joe wants 1t understood he does not like is no Jack Manders. All right, SoSy Al youL tS1At PAdSC0 AA LAS roll off at the end of the season, we'll see that it takes place in Martin Brundage's barn out in Prospect.
 Ray O'Neil plunked the wood to fare three well last week. The boy is building up that average.
 The Squire of Quassapaug Flops
 "Hod" McMahon, known far and wide as Quassapaug's best dressed man and Adolphe Menjou's great est rival took g nose dive. Last week he hit 366. This week 249. Skip 1t, says Hod. Anyway, he won the Low Kicker. Better luck after Santa Claus sees you Hod or are you Santa Claus?
 Don't forget me we do not bowl tomorrow night but be around on Wednesday night,> December 26, as we go at it again. So wishing you all a Merry Christmas, we sign off until next week.

A great match was that one be- tween Prexy Tom Flanagan's Cubs and Burt Stones hustling bunch. T. Us boys came through with three points. Stones fine game of 14S gained the one point for his side. Plenty of noise on these al- leys.

In his last game Bill Jones filled spare with a double strike and the shock was so great thath he tainted dead away in the arms of Harry Huey. After the excitement was over and Bill was taken home and put to bed to ease the strain on his heart, the boys discovered that he was entitled to another ball for the fill on the last strike but They were afraid of the conse- quences.

ON Christmas Day, 1865, Fa
" Templeton was born.


Sunday night at the Shubert
Theater in Cincinnati I saw this
great woman sway an audience as
she did 80 years ago.
When the Shubert's curtain part
ed on the first scene of the first act
of Roberta" which was one of the
really big musical hits on Broadway,
the great woman received an amaz-
ing ovation.
To be remembered for so many
years on the stage almost brought
Miss Templeton to tears. She hest
tated for a moment as her eyes
cleaned with moisture, then she be-
gan speaking.
From then on she swayed the
audience from laughter to tears
and wound up her evenings
work by giving a death scene of
such dramatic power and tender
ness that many in the audience
wept aloud.
When a woman can accomplish
this without speaking a word, but
only using her hands in meeting the
Grim Reaper, she is truly a great
actress.
Miss Templeton appears in one
act only as Roberta, a famous
modiste in Paris. When she dies,
her heir is her nephew, John Kent,
an American football player This
role is played by Raymond Middle
ton.
When Miss Templeton finishes her
first and only act, she is returned
to her hotel and tucked in bed" by
her maid.
Even at her years, her singing
voice is unusually clear and full of
color. She is surrounded by such
gifted people of the stage as Mrs.
William Faversham, Tamara, Sid
ney Greenstreet, Odette Myrtil, Mr..
Middleton and the California
CollegianS.
After her death scene, Miss Tenn
pleton does not violate the tradition
of the stage She takes no curtain
calls.
Roberta" is at times smart and
at times a little naughty, but al
ways very wise and modern. At
other times it is healthy, tuneful,
full of beautiful girls as models.
Here is a splendid combination
with most of the comedy work
going to the capable Miss Myrtil.
Tamara is an artist il song and the
spoken word.
When she branches out as a real
Russian princess instead of being
merely a designer in Robertas
smart shop in Paris, Tamara's APP
pearance is regal
