Before the largest and most enthusiastie crowd ever seen at a similar event In the clty bowling tournament was started at the Metropolitan alleys Monday | night. The alleys had just been shellaced and were In a condition similar to those used in natiomal tournaments. This with new pins had the tendency to rattle the bowlers The outbursts of the many rooters also had its effect. Mayor Dahlman was called upon to rall the first ball and after a very appropriate speech his effort to get all the ten pins was awarded by getting but one. However, that happened to be the ten pin and the | Fesult sought atter was accomplished. C testants Rattled. The first contestants were the Omahas and the Omaha Bicycle company. Hard luck coupled with poor bowling kept the two teams from securing their usual aver- ages. The Bikes, however, struck thelr usual stride in the last game and finished with a fine score of 972 Eucell was the only bowler In the first game to go through without a break. The Storz Triumphs and Loch's Willow Springs composed the second squad. Both teams bowlied considerably better than the first two. The Triumphs, present champions went into first place, four pins ahead of the Loch's. Amerman was high, with 588, a good score, new pins and alleys considered. Seaman was running close with 6ST. Leaders to Meet. The Mets Bros. leaders of ‘the .Omaha league will be pitted against the hustling Glendales of the Commercial league. It is the impression of most of the bowlers that one or the other of these teams will re- cure first place In ‘the tournament. The Molonys will play the Beselin Mixers These dark horses may surprise the wise ones. The personnel of the four teams wiii be as follows: Metz Bros.—Meale, Hartley, Denman, Blakeney, Huntington. Klauck's Glendales—Lehman, Klauck Godenschwager, Stapenhorst, Camp. Molony’s—J. A. Lyons, Kerr, Glover, Weeks. Beselin Mixers—Bowers, Beselin, Schnei- der, Patterson, Lahecka. Doubles and Singles. Very few of the doubles and singles were bowled at Francisco's last ziight. This Is due to the rule that compels all entries bowling In the five-men event to roll this game first. Scores of games bowled were not very Toman, high. Doubles: st 20 3d. Total Ohnesberg 131 12 oA Bengele .. 10 ) Totals an % s Hinricks . B OM 10 480 Gilbreath A 1% 18 5as Totals ™ W tom 1st. 20 3d.

IOWA FALLS, la, Dec Rescued in the of time, John M. Crea | gan of this city is thankfully able to tell the sensation of being buried alive. Mr Creagan was at work in a sewer ditch here | the bottom of a twenty-one on when the dirt caved in on etely covering the workman and was in foot excava ide ¢ Help was quickly summoned and the dirl | removed from his face before he smoth ered.
