"UNLUCKY l3" PROVES A LUCKY
BREAK FOR BOWLER ORIN BRIST

Monday, December 18th, proveC
TO be lucky 13" for Grin Brist
It was that evening that Brist, {
member of the Libby Hotel bowling
team made the best score that has
been chalked up for any individual
on the local alleys during the past
seven or eight years, stated Bill
Nelson.
Grin made 10 consecutive strikes
up until the 18th ball when he con-
tacted a crotch split, giving him a
287 score. Twelve strikes in a
single game is a perfect score, and
a score of 200 in considered extra
good
Back in 1910 Mark Kessels made
a score of 290, said to be the best
score ever made on the Libby floor.
Along about that time, or maybe a
'ear or SO later Harold Miller
pushed KeSsels pretty close when
'e bowled a score of 289. However
dded Bill Nelson, Harold wouldn't |
ave made that good score had he
.ept his eyes open when he bowled.
