William Bums and William Siebrecht were the only bowlers who turned up at the alleys last Monday afternoon. They had a nice little game all to themselves. Following is the score: Player 1st 2d 3J Av. Burns 190 165 IVJ 176 Siebrecht 166 166 172 168 At Philadelphia. At last the machinery that is to grind out the convention team has been set in motion and from now on the pins will fly in earnest. The meeting of the com- mittee that adopted rules under which this preparatory contest is to be con- ducted was about the worst in point of confusion that it has ever been our lot to attend. It resembled a Quaker meet- ing in this respect, that the spirit moved one or two of the members to speak once each, this occurring when the meeting opened, and they were hard at it when weary Chairman Westcott dropped his gavel and declared the meeting adjourned. The summary of the rules is about as follows: Four matches of three games each are to be bowled on strange alleys, the first seven men in each match to be given a point and if any are ties for last place they get a half point. At the end of the tournament the six men having the highest number of points are to com- prise the team and the next best player to go as substitute. Some rattling good games are being put up on the alleys these days. A four-handed game the other day developed 247, 211, 207, 177. Pretty fast company this. The follow- ing are the averages of all games played during May, 990 games being the total: Player A
