James C McOill, former president of the club, has at last made good his threat of retiring from baseball.

Admiral Sims also won his position in! our . Nayy to. his tireless efforts. All of which proves that the man who wins is the man who wins Is the man who is ever lastingly at It. who never acknowledges defeat, who always nee an opportunity for betterment and makes that opportunity his opportunity. ' Arthur "Strike" King, veteran bowler of Richmond, after 20 years of tenacious practice in the gilded paths of bowling balls, after 20 years of struggle for the 300 score, promises to make the 1910-20 season reap the reward for which hundreds of bowling enthusiasts are spending their untiring efforts. Richmond can well feel proud of the record Kins established In banging up these scores. It will alao be noted that in the fourth, fifth and sixth games, Kins rolled a total Of 798 pins, which stands forth as one of the highest, if not the highest number of pins ever rolled In three successive games. In the fifth game, Richmond's bowling marvel came within two pins of that tantalizing evasive perfect 800 score. Eleven straight balls left the sure-grip hand of King, each taking with it 10 pins Into the darkness of the pits. Then came the twelfth ball. Amid the cheering of onlookers, and being' within ten pins of a perfect score, to the rolling of which he had devoted the odd moments of 20 years, King mst have experienced a thrill, a slight feeling of uncertainty, for the twelfth ball left his hand a little wide, leaving up the four and eight pins. In an interview with King, this knight of the maples, accepting con

gratlations with extreme modesty,

regretted of course that the twelfth ball wasn't a- strike, but still expres sing his determination to roll a perfect score He finally believes that the man who "strikes" is bound to win. To those who are not familiar with the bowling game this performance of King may not no unusual, but to those who fully understand what a task it Is to roll even a zoo score, this aggregate score of King's will he nothing short of marvelous. It will also prove fasci nation of the game to the skeptical, when they realise that King was mow. Ing down pins when we were saying "Dadda" and is still at It With the dose of the Mid-December tournament. Plans for the Christm" tournament are now being considered and details will- be announced soon. In the tournament which closed Friday night, Arthur "Strike" Ring won the singles with the unusual score of 769 pins. Jack ttoneelpher was second with 64S and "Big Boy" Evans third with 626. in the doubles, King and Bennett rolled the remarkable score of 1)94 pins for first, King and sherer took second with 1858 and King and Ben nett third with 130V. One don't have to be an astron omer to appreciate who the Richmond bowling "star" is. The score of this tournament are evidence of the Improvement of the Richmond bowlers. King and Bennett rolled spectacular games in their set of doubles, and are without a doubt the two most vicious men oh the alleys. - Credit must also be given to 'Ducky Sherer, who is by no means kindly disposed toward the pins. "Duckey" is one of our most dependable pin smashers, and more than that he is one of those "good fellows" to whom a fellow bowler doesn't mind losing. Followers of the game will remember Cliff O'Ryan, the happy member of the Dayton aggregation which has met Richmond la match games in the past Cliff hag a very enviable average stacked up in Dayton and la adding to It constantly. Cliff has the good habit of spending Sunday in Richmond (he didn't tell us why) but what we wanted to say is that it's men of Cliff's type who strengthen the bond of fellowship created on the alleys. We hope to see him here often. The match team which has been entered in the Tri State tournament at Cincinnati will practice Monday evening. This should be anx interesting session. The five man team will no doubt consist of King, Bennett. Smith. Myers and Sherer. In the doubles King and Smith, Meyers and Sherer, Bennett and Jones will pair off, and all men have been entered in the singles.

Earlham haa been nractlclna- for S weeks, yet tut no a much better exhibition of basketball than did the Dentals. Friday's game proved to Mowe thst last veer's letter sauad have more ability than the promising freshmen candidates ao the Lwler-Hall-Pltte-Johnson and Carey combination can be reasonably sure of position. Tne work of Lawler in last season's games stamped him as one of the greatest forwards In the state and Judging from his performance in the Dental game, he will hand up a better record this season. Little Is known of the strength of the Cedarvilie aulntet which Earlham meets Thursday. Mowe will take no chances, but will start his first string men. Hes Clarke's. Dentals will hook up with the Wabash quintet next Wed nesday evening and an early season assortment of dope on Scarlet chances can be gained from this game. The tame was to have been played last Saturday evening, but poor train con nections on part of the Indianapolis college caused the game to be post poned until Wednesday.

Bowling Notes Following this , week's scheduled games, no more league bowling will be held at Twigg's alleys Until after the close of the Christmas holidays The first half of the season shows Feltman'a Tramps leading the league by a comfortable margin and the CocoColas winning 3 games each week. It will be only a matter of time until thele two teams are fighting it out for first place. The Tramps are scheduled to hook up with Wilson's Cleaners in the first match of Tuesday evening's cowling, and may run into a snag. The Cleatnera have been noted for upsetting the dope, and Tuesday may see them "cleaning" up the Tramps. Even though the latter team does the un expected and loses to the Cleaners, they will still have a hold upon first place. A battle royal Is promised when the Haberdashers take on the No. 2 Casey outfit in the second frolic These two teams are about evenly matched. The Caseys having been putting up a good exhibition of bowling in their last two matches, while Lichtenfels' Hab erdashers have been slipping. Thursday evening will Bee the CocaColas and the Number 1 Casey aggregation mixed up in the first scrap of tne evening. The A. S. M. and Hlll'i Laddies will stage a scrap for second division honors in the second match. 31.50 $1.50
