Saturday afternoon, the soldiers
team of bowlers from Fort Seward
went down to defeat at the .Elks'
alleys in this city when the Elks'
team took the game by a noore of
2305 tr 2150.
Both, teams bowled, below their I
usual marks, and as the soldiers [
were strangers to the Elks alleys,
't is believed that when, they again
roll thu heavy, balls down the maple
they wil give a better account of
themse'vcs. It was thought that
they did not have their wind Bights
-properly adjusted, but when, it is
(remembered that the wind did not
blow at that particular time, this
claim is without foun-datian. It 3s
said that had the wind been up to
"a usual standard of velocity, the
Blauchard Brothers and Black!
would hnve lost their nervousness'
and i essbily made a better show- ;
lng.
The lite up of the two teams
were:
Elks—A. C. Blauchard, J as. Ken
nedy. Lee Gault, J. V. Miller and
W. C. Blauchard; (Gault rolled
iu i>lace of Kennedy in the last
game.)
Soldiers—Long, Watts, Schroed
er, Bixby, Conistock, "Whitcher.
{Watts relied in place of Long in
the last came)
W. C, Blanchard was highl for
Elks with 197. Comstocik high;
for the Soldiers, with a score of
190.
Return match will be rolled at
the Fort in January om which! oc
casion a dance will be given In the
Fort gym.
