A large number of bowlers of both eexes gathered at Clark's alleys Tuesday after noon to see the exhibition games between the All-American bowlers and local men of more than average records. The preliminary games consisted of series between pairs of players. The Omaha players were Schneider and Beselln, while the All-Amerlcans changed off. The first set waa between Peterson and Wolf of the All-American and the Omaha mm. The result was score of 347 for the Omaha men to 314 for the visitors. In the next game. Selbach and Vorhela were pitted against the Omaha men and the score stood 381 to 383 In favor of Omaha, giving the home men a total of 730, against 665 for the visitors. The individual game between Wolf of the ' All-American and Huntington of Omaha resulted In score of 191 to 174 In favor of Wolf. These preliminary .games have nothing to do with the ecore for the prise, which waa played for later In the day, but the Interest of the crowd was almost as great In them as It waa In the more Important event, aa they then bad an opportunity to aee the work of the visitors. The men showed themselves to be strong bowlers, cool of head and deliberate of action. Their record In sixty-one contest series being perfect, not one series being lost, and only forty-six three-men team games lost out of a total of 264, waa borne out by the ap pearance of the men In the alleys. The crowd ,waa Impartial, giving cheers for good playing Indiscriminately, at least In the preliminary work, but when the record contest for the medal started the people showed much Interest In the work of the local players, who were Encell, Emery and - Krug, against Wolf, Vorhets and Peterson. Two of the series of games were played In the afternoon and three In the evening. Larger Crowd la Evening.
