BOWLING AT i CAPE MAY = CONGRESS WINS SERIES I It Games Played at Botel Cape JJlay Take Two < i Oat of Three The Congress and Stockton bowling 5 teams having won two games each the. 1 od<1 game for the championship was ; played tast night. It seems as though the Congress cannot win on the Stockton alleys and vice vqfsa. therefore, j1' the game was played on neutral alleys at the Hotel Cape May. Congress started out rather poorly in the first ' game and it looked as if things were . all going Stockton's way." The Stockton woni^the first game by a large margin and at no time was the contest ever at a dangerous place for them. The individual scores for the three game.* were: STOCKTON. 1st 2nd 3rd Williams, 112 80 80 | Smith. 98 76 80 Aushutz, 88 85 68 Simmington, 93 99 89 CONGRESS.

Tha scores for this game though very high compared 1 with the next two games were small. high score in this game having 1 been made by Williams at one hundred and twelve. Team scores b, boxes : : STOCKTON. 51 2nd— 86 3rd— 122 4th- 160 1 6th— 194 6th— 237 7th-283 8th-315 ' 9th- 267 lOtn— 391 j CONGERSS. 1st — 28 2nd— 67 3rd— 96 4th-188 ' 6th— 175 6th— 208 7th-244 8th-2W j 9.h— 304 10th — 335 1 In the second game Congress still seemed to be peacefully snoring up until the seventh frame then the team woke up and from then on the scores that were rolled were way above par, i although, there were four scores in the nineties there was no especially ( high score, Fenderson being the best • at ninety-nine. This game goes to show that no matter how far behind a team is if it settles down to hard work it still hps a chance. The team scores by frames were - i >

The third game won by Congress , making the best two out of three was not very interesting as far as closeness is concerned as t'ie Stockton lost by a most one hundred points.

I Lummi6 broke the record for duck , ; pins in this event by making the ex- , j cep ioually good score qf one hundred , and twenty-three. From the poor start . | he made no one expected it. In the , j third frame he was only twenty-three, jonly two points over sevens. With . I two strikes and two spares, however, he contrived to pull his score up to j this high water -nark. Fenderson and j Yilley also made good scores in this game, the figures being one hundred . : and six and one huudred, respectively. , The team s :ores by frames were : 1 1 STOCKTON.

CAPE MAY VS ATLANTIC CITY CATE BAY WINS OUT Swift Gaae it Atlulk WeilesAay Wins Lairels fir Cape May • Cape May played Atlantic City on the tetter's grounds yesterday and t ook the wind out of tlkem to the tune of three to one The locate Rave long been desirous of getting a game with this team and showing the base ball world that the Cape May aggregation is by no means s slouch when it comes to giving their opponents the icy mitt in a good ganft of ball. The chance to show where they 'belonged whethdFit was ou a back lot or an incloeed diamond was given them .yesterday and the boys from this city were pyjno means backward in taking advantage of it This game will give toOape'May a recognized position in the spot light of base ball enthusiasm as Atlantic City is a factor in the national game. When Oaoe May is stacked up a against a team which plays major league nines and delivers the goods in the shape of a Royal Fluah it is time that those who are at all (interested in Dase ball around this locality should take>n interest in the game which is played by a team certainly worthy to represent and wear the emblem of Cape May. Some think that after all a team that represents this place, if it becomes a recognized factor will be just as much an asset as a new pier or any other improvement. After having given it to Atlantic City like the locals did yesterday it is now up to the management of the team to arrange for a^game with Millville. This team haa also beaten the aggregation from the so-called Jersey seashore metropolis and bid well to take- lb* championship of this state if the lOcklt don't get after them and treat them to an unpleasant surprise. 1 The aforesaid management, however, j has already shown that they mean | business and will surely have the Mill- I ville team on our local grounds The Cape May ball players play !
