The seating capacity of the hall Is esti
mated at 1,000, and all seats were occupied,
with standing room crowded. The assembly
somewhat resembled a political convention,
as each contesting delegation was assigned
a location designated by a big banner
bearing the name of the city represented.
The tournament was formally opened by
President Robert Bryeon of Indianapolis,
and eleven other leading officials of the
American Bowling congress, at a signal
simultaneously hurling a ball rumbling
down each alley, while th band played.
Then one team of five men from Kansas
City and eleven flvs-men teams represent
ing St. Louis took positions at the alleys
and the tourney was on.
The five highest scores mnde by the
initial twelve teams were as follows:
Sportsman, Kansas City 2.5M
fportsmitn No. 1, St. Louis 2.551
esota No. 1, St. luls
Hurkns, St. Louis 2,:
Kroelich, St. Louis 2,405
The Omaha live-men teams will bowl as
follows: Tuesday, Fnlstaffs and Hamll

Hunter's Bad Luck "I had the darndest
luck while out duck hunting recently," re
marked Max Ellas the other evening. "I
was up In the sand hills and I worked
till I nearly fell over getting a good blind
built and setting out decoys. By the time
I got through the heavens In the east began
to lighten up and I could see ducks and
geese by the hundreds flying In great
droves. I had everything fixed handy, and
my gun was all right and I waited. It
was not long until a bunch of geese cam.
In sight. The geese begun slowing up and
acted as though they were preparing to
settle. I rose up. poked my breechloader
through the blind, but before I pulled the
trigger an accident occurred." "What was
the matter?" asked a listener. "A blamed
bed-slat broke and woke me up." Colum

Fun for the Girls Two girls, who hav.
been visiting at a certain home In this
vicinity seem to have rather lively dispo
sitions, to the discomfiture of a certain
young man. They took some of his
clothes' and stuffed them until they re
sembled a man; then they took the dummy
and placed It In the young man's bed.
Now, this young man generally stays up
quite late, especially when he has such
charming company, and on this occasion
It was after 2 a. m. when he retired. He
had not much more than landed when he
discovered that he was not alone. Of
course he was scared. He hunted for soma
matches so he could see who the Intruder
was. But not finding any, made up his
mind that the best thing that he could do
was to throw the Intruder out. As a pre
liminary to this procedure he hit the fellow
a few, but as It did not strike back, he
came to the conclusion that he was "It."
Then hs went to bed, but not, however, to
sleep. Beemer Times.
