You may remember I spelled it:

Feathered League games at the
Elks last night failed to produce a
1900 match team score but all games
were close.
In the first game the Aukes
trundled off with all three contests
being pressed only in the second
game which they captured with a
margin of pins. Stevens of the
Condors turned in the highest single
count of the players who worked
for their scores.
A total of 537 pins for the Kites
in the first game of their match
against the Owls led them to a two
out of three victory. They dropped
the second game by II pins. Shepard
spanked the winners by rolling a
handsome 212 in the first game.

managed to garner one out of three
