The various alleys around town took on a deserted look Sunday afternoon, with some of the boys at South Bend and the rest out. watching the slaughter at the ball park. Tonight, tlie Recreation and Century Leagues will go into action again. There me a great number of the boys who think these leagues are running too far into the summer. The duck pin game now is in order and leagues are being formed at the various alleys. All bowlers who are interested in this game can get plenty of action. Personally. we believe that trying to roll a three-pound ball and then returning to the sixteen-pound tenpin egg, a bowler will ruin his game. HORSESHOE MEN MEET Leagues lo Organize Tuesday and Officers Klectcd for Year. There will be a meeting of the Indianapolis Iloreshoe Pitchers’ Association Tuesday night at 8 o'clock at city hall. Formation of the City League, Marion County Sunday League and election of officers for the ensuing year will be made.
