The score: The Next Upset. In this mysterious season of swat no one can tell what the next upset | will be. Here we have at the pink | edge of June the Washington Na- | tionals and Cleveland Indians setting the pace in a league where the Tigers | and White Sox are down in the mire. We have had also the astounding | case of the Glants who dropped to the bottom with the speed of a steel girder dropped from a sky scraper | and then bounded up again after the manner of a rubber ball. It has been a queer, quaint cam- paign. And now it is about time to look for another upset—either for the Browns to bound on to the top or for the Mackmen to arrive in that wvicinity, But the most interesting point ahead is the date set, if any, when Tigers, Red Sox and White-Six do their parading., Or do they intend to parade this season? The Greatest College Player. “Sisler,” says Fielding Yost, ‘“is the | best college ball player I ever saw and 1 have been watching them for 20 years.” Sisler is one of the best we ever saw. But other college players not to be overlooked are Christy Mathew- son, Dave Robertson, Eddie Plank, Pred Tenney, Eddie Collins and a | dozen or so more. that's | Institute of Technology, 1 It was the grand work of the athe | 1etes of both of the Pacific coast in- | stitution, Leland Stanford and the University of Southern California, | that featured the competition this afternoon. It was left to Fred Mug- ray, the stalwart track captain of Stanford to uncork the classiest per- formance of the day.

Standing—Foote, Blanchard, Rogers, Mgr.; Brennecke, Jurgen. Seated—Lantone, Anderson, captain; Bertini. Boston New York Batteries: Gregg., Mays, Agnew; Russell, Markle, Shawkey and Walters. Jones and Captain Eddie Anderson was a Keating, | tower of strength to his club, the for- mer factory leaguer coming through with flying colors with an average of 103.8. In bowling circles throughout the state Capt. Anderson is looked up- on as one of the most graceful per- formers with the ““ducks” seen in the cities where the league operated. During the winter, considerable dis- cussion was heard of the respective ability of Anderson and Barbour of Southington, but a match game on the local alleys settied any doubts that may have existed in the South- ington boys minds. Joe Foote and Lantone played stellar games through- out the season, not flashy erratic bowling, just steady pounding away at the pins securing marks around the century mark for averages. Not &0 bad eithe; Harold Bertini the boy with the cerise hirsute, 'was also in evidence with some corking scores, winning games for the local lads by his brilliant work. Speaking about hirsute, we will not overlook the nice manner in which Willie Brennecke arranges his on the front part of his cranium. The particular twist was the envy of all the boys on the alleys, but Will doesn’t mind. (If you don’t believe it is artistically arranged just glance at his photo.) Two other young men who are de- serving of mention for their fine work are Tommy Blanchard and Jurgen. It is in coming stars like these, that Manager Rogers pins his hopes of annexing the championship. Jurgen competing in nine games in the league, hit an average of 102.8 while Blaznchard in seven games rolled | 96.2. Although the local representatives in the Inter-City Bowling league did not win the championship, they ac- quitted themselves in a manner that is highly satisfactory to the manage- ment, and also to the followers of the team. The team was an in and outer, but a recent splendid spurt has placed them in a position that is not to be despised. The outlook for next season presents a very satisfactory aspect, and by the time the season of 1917 is ended, the boys are hopeful that the ‘“‘old rag” will be safely tucked away on the walls of the Church street al- leys. The difficulties that confront a team manager were many with G. C. Rog- ers, many of the stars finding it im- possible to be on hand on evenings when important matches were sched- uled, but dispite this handicap, he kept plugging away, and instead of hav- ing a handful of men, it is expected that next season the Aetna alleys will be represented by at least twelve men that will be capable of putting up a game that will warrant their remain- ing at the head of the circuit from the beginning to the end. Manager Rog- ers is certainly entitled to much cred- it for the fine showing the boys have made, for when things looked bad for them, he was usually found on hand with the cheery word that started spurts that many times resulted in a victory for the home lane boys. Mr. Rogers’ fine work was also a prime factor in keeping the boys in the race up to the final two weeks his av- erage of 103.7 evincing the brand of bowling he exhibited. r. h. e.
