experimental effort to develop a
team of champions by starting
them young. He has not been dis
appointed, for the lads, four of
them now II years of age and the
fifth, Is, have cracked out many
noteworthy totals in their five
years of partnership. Their first
major engagement, the Chicago
city tournament of 1890, found
them finishing their three games
with total of 1725, whereas in the
1885 event they accumulated 273O
pins. Their A. B. c. appearance will
bear watching, for in the 1884 tour
nament at Peoria they finished "in
the money" The quintet is cap

South Bend on Hand
South Bend was to be we'll rep
resented on the tourney drives this
afternoon, when 80 teams, made up
OF Studebaker Corporation en-
ployes, converged on the alleys at
$3.50. A squad of local quintets were
carded to appear on the l o'clock
shift, but the remaining spots on
the program of today and tomor-
row are to be dominated by invad-
ing aggregationS. TomorroWs dav-
light shifts will be made up of dou-
bles and singles squads, while the
evenings menu calls for the return
OF the f1ve-man teams.
Fircmen SINCE Police
The "feud" between members of
the Police and Fire Departments
teams was renewed yesterday as
the IL o'clock shift took over the
80 tournament alleys. Although
none of the quintets Of the two
safety organizations crashed the
top ten" in the standings, the
rivalry brought out some exciting
bits of pin spilling. The smoke eat
ers were in jubilant mood as 10
OF their 16 teams outscored the
"fiatfeet." According to statistics,
the f1remen claim a moral victory
by big majority. Although their
top team, the Fire Dept No. Is, lost
by 10 pins to Mike Morrissey's lead
ing police team, the hook and lad
der boys won 81 of the 80 matches.
Abraham Gets Hot
The highlight of last nights $50
squad was the 257 game hung up by
Howard Abraham, local pinman,
who performed with the Phillips 66
team. The big count was the top
single game of the tourney to date.
Coupled with games of 1874 and 1876,
it gave him a 626 total and aided
his team to 2617, which gave them
seventh place in the five-man
standings. Other aggregations per-
forming on the squad failed to burn
up the drives and finished out of
the top ten"
A large crowd, rivaled only bv
the opening nights collection of pin
fans, was on hand to greet the $3.50
and 1890 shifts. Under the ban
ner of Catholic Night" 81 teams
sponsored by Catholic organizations
and local merchants faced the
NAPLES. A great ovation greeted the
squads as they paraded across the
approach and marched to their re-
Spective alleys. Despite the fact
that many of the cityS outstanding
pinmen were numbered among the
performers, only one team crashed
the big ten" in the team standings.
General Tires used 26l3 to take
ninth place.
