DOWN THE PIKE Decatur Bowlers Defeated the Bluffton Team on Their Own Alleys BY MARGIN OF TWO Exciting Contest in Which the Klondykes Won Well Earned Victory Just to add another scalp to their already long string of victories the local bowling team journeyed to Bluffi ton last evening and succeeded in taking our old time rivals into camp by I th e magnificent victory of two pins. I The games wsre the warmest ever rolled on a Bluffton alley and the hundred fans who missed their usual bed time (six o'clock) to take in the sport were given a grat run for their money. The locals were in excellent form and all three games were rolled well into the eight hundred mark and every bowler came out of the game with a more than creditable average. Decatur won the first game by four pins, the second game by thirty-two pins and lost the third game by a margin of thirty-four pins, thus giving them a victory in the series by two lone pins. However, these two were as good as a thousand as Decatur triumphed and j forced our old rivals to bite the dust. ‘ Scott bowled the best game for Bluffton, he averaging 193 pins for three . games, while Dorwin had the high avI erage for the locals, h e scoring 186. A return game may be played in De- . catur in the near future. The scores: Bluffton.
