Uncle Bill N’s Great Game.

Uncle Bill N. bowled the game of his life and then some, at Indianapolis Wednesday night. He bowled with Mr, McKee of Indianapolis. a man 56 years old, for the Senior Bowlers’ state championship.' Uncle was in fine form and luck all came his way too. He started in with the great score of 231 points the first game, and closed with 223 on the last. His total score for the five games was 983 pins. He beat his opponent by 196 pins, and the latter’sjhigh score was only 174 pins. The bowlers at the capital were amazed at Uncle Bil’s skill, and especially on Thursday, when he kept the same pace at several exhibition games. They would introduce him to one another as the best “old bowler or any other old bowler in Indiana.”
