MANY TOURNEY
MARKS SET IN
ELKS' PIN BOUT
Radde Rolls o32 Total,
Blomgren Bags 235 Game
Mustangs Bowl 1896

When Ringers ge; together, the
pins fly, even ordinarily, and last
night, the SIX squads of Ringers hao,
"a forty mile wind at tneir backs:
so the pins did a terrific bit Of scat
tering
The evening started off in a gem
tlemanly enough fashion, though,
even if Johnny Keyser did knock
over games of pa and 215 in the
course of hanging up a 628 total
that hunted the Dinosaurs across
to an odd game win over the Al
ligators.
But it was the second match,
between the Prairie Dogs and the
Mustangs, that disrupted the even
tenor OF the course of the evening.
Ed Radde, of the Prairie Dogs, start
ed it when he rolled the nights top
total Of 632, the high mark of the
present tourney. though somewhat
under Fred Henning's mark for the
season.
Gunnar Blomgren, of the Mus
tangs. disputed RaGde's burst for
the front and himself rolled Gas,
topening with a 235 single game for
the tourney mark Then Radde's
and Blomgren's teammates caught
the scoring fever with the result
that the Mustangs came out of it
bit ahead. When the smok :
cleared away they had 10 their credit
the deciding game in the match, a
new mark for team total in one
game, 624, high team match to-
tai Of l,796 pins, and George Ben
lson had a match total of 6l2 and
225 game.
However, the Prairie Dogs didn't
come out of the scuffle without
honor either. even though they set
no marks. Art Henning garnered a
226 game, and they had a single
game total of COG and a team match
total OF 1,700 pins. Plenty to shoot
at even there.
The final match was not quite
SO productive of fireworks. Carey
Tubbs set off most of them when
he rolled 226 single game. The
Crocodiles took the first two games
of the match from the Armadillos.
1t being Wednesday, cnce again
the Elks' alleys will be empty this
evening.
Last nights array of scores fol-
low.
