 The Staitdard Unzo^i, long recognizing the merit of bowling as 
 a healthy and wholesome sport, has no apologies to make for the 
 prominence which it gives to this recreation, nor for its interest in 
 
 promoting its development. It 
 
 
 entertains, no doubt that what- 
 ever promotes a sound mind in 
 a sound body, advances public 
 morals and public welfare, and 
 that it is not beyond the fur' 
 tion of a newspaper to parti 
 pate in this work. The Stant 
 aid Union also improves this 
 opportunity to acknowledge the 
 generous recognition and co- 
 operation it has received from 
 the bowlers of Brooklyn, all of 
 :om it counts as friends, and pledges to them, and the public 
 generally, its best efforts to promote the true interests of the game 
 —solely that the distinction which it now holds in Brooklyn, and 
 which Brooklyn now holds among the bowlers of the country, may 
 be maintained and still further advanced. The trophy of the Stand- 
 ard Unio7i is only evidence of this purpose and this good will, and 
 may the best men win it honestly and keep it faithfull3^

 The expression has been made that half the success of a Tour- 
 nament is a well-balanced and tvenly arranged schedule. It is 
 
 perhaps with that idea in 
 mind that Manager Thomas 
 Curtis enlisted the services 
 of Charles H. Ebbets in be- 
 half of the Sta7tdard Union 
 Championship Tourney to 
 solve the difficult problem of 
 a thir teen-club schedule. 
 ^. Mr. Ebbets is a devoted 
 
 ^gk^ enthusiast of the game of ten 
 
 ^f^K^ pins, and during the past 
 
 |^^^^^H| season has been active in

 taincy of the Carleton Club

Brooklyn tlie Bowling Centre o! tlie Gounlru. 
 
 By Abram Yager, of "The Brooklyn Eagle." 
 
 A well-known writer said recently : "As Brooklyn goes so 
 goes the countr>\" How well this sentiment covers the popular 
 sport of ten-pins will be recognized by every bowler in this city. 
 
 Within the past few years the 
 game has gained such prom- 
 inence that Brooklyn has be- 
 come the recognized bowling 
 centre of the country, an en- 
 viable position considering 
 the class of men that are en- 
 gaged in the pastime. New 
 York has acknowledged 
 Brooklyn's supremacy by 
 sending its crack teams across 
 the bridge, whereas in former 
 days local bowlers were com- 
 pelled to do the visiting to 
 gain recognition. 
 
 For this development of the 
 sport it is easy to find a rea- 
 son. Its inception may be 
 said to date back to the or- 
 ganization of the Inter-Club 
 League in 1891. Since that 
 time the advance has been 
 swift and certain. The large 
 number of clubmen directly 
 interested was a sufficient guarantee of success. Its purely local 
 character made it an object of comment among bowlers at large, 
 who watched the ever changing race with as keen a relish as they 
 did the doings in their own clubs or tournaments. The League has 
 become as firmly established as the component clubs themselves. 
 
 Another organization that should prove of great importance is 
 the Royal Arcanum League. This rolled its first tournament during 
 the present season, but owing to crude management, did not reach 
 the plane it deserved. The experience gained by the contest just 
 completed will be of abundant use next season, when it is expected 
 that the eight councils participating will be increased to twenty. 
 
 Outside of club circles the lesser organizations have kept pace 
 with the big leagues. It has been said of Carruthers' alleys that 
 they are the grammar school of the Inter-Club League. The en- 
 terprise displayed by Thomas C. Carruthers in bringing the Ameri- 
 can Amateur Union finals to this city deserves more than passing 
 notice. It has made his headquarters a resort where bowlers from 
 the entire metropolitan district meet on terms of equality; a society 
 without officers, but, nevertheless, active and far-reaching, h rom 
 this establishment all things pertinent to bowling radiate. Next in 
 importance may be placed Gondran's, famous for high averages, 
 Cody's oak alleys in South Brooklyn, Roos's Apollo Hall, and 
 Gaetzner's, in the Eastern District; Bantle's, in Flatbush, and 
 others of equal importance in every section of the city. 
 
 The total number of tournaments that have been held or are in 
 progress foots up to nearly two score, in which some tw^o thousand 
 bowlers have been active participants, and ten times that many 
 directly or indirectly interested .

In flGtiv6 and Successtul Season in N6w York. 
 
 By Leo Jacoby, of the "New York Sun.' 
 
 In %. 
 
 While New York cannot boast of as many tournaments as 
 
 Tooklyn, the bowlers on this side of the Bridge have had an active 
 
 3ason. In no previous year have so many high scores been rolled, 
 
 and from present indications 
 several additional tourna- 
 ments will be formed during 
 the season of 1895-96. The 
 American National is recog- 
 nized as one, if not the lead- 
 ing organization. The best 
 bowlers take part in this 
 tournament, not only from 
 Brooklyn and New York, 
 but from the surrounding 
 towns. The fact that four 
 Brooklyn clubs were repre- 
 sented in the competition 
 
 Leo Jacoby, made the tourney more in- 
 
 Of the New York 5*/^«. , ,. i - i.i ^'±. c 
 
 terestmg, and to the credit of 
 
 le visitors it must be said that they made things hum. The 
 
 lonarchs, Apollos, Arlingtons and Progress Teams w^U always be 
 
 welcome at the Germania Assembly Rooms alleys, and an effort 
 
 lay be made to induce several other Brooklyn clubs to join. 
 
 New York's representative in the Athletic Bowling League, 
 le New York Athletic Club, while landing in fourth place, had an 
 verage high enough to win the first prize, but, unfortunately, lost 
 sveral games after passing the 900 total. 
 
 Another leading Gotham tournament is the one held at the 
 larlem Republican Club alleys. The strongest teams in the upper 
 istricts compete in the series, and a number of high scores have 
 een the result of the efforts of the skillful contestants.

 THE ^^ BOWLERS' HOME/' 
 
 By Thomas Curtis. 
 
 If there*is one place more than another in the United States 
 
 that has earned the title of the •' Bowlers' Home " it is the Elephant 
 
 Club House, with its six fine club and the elegant large public 
 
 alleys. 
 
 The judge leaves his bench, the lawyer his client, the banker 
 
 his cash and bonds, the merchant his office, the clerk his books or 
 
 store— all rush together for 
 recreation and amusement at 
 the game of ten-pins. 
 
 Opened for bowding in 
 September, 1888, by the Echo 
 BowUng Club, the Elephant 
 Club House has been the 
 headquarters for some of the 
 best Brooklyn pin knights. 
 Here the first regular five- 
 men tournament was started, 
 and many of the most skillful 
 exponents in the Inter-Club 
 and other organizations took 
 their first lessons in tour- 
 nament bowling. 
 
 The season now drawing 
 to a close has been the most 
 successful in the history of 
 the Elephant Club House. There have been twenty-two regularly 
 organized bowling clubs in the private alleys, the regular twenty- 
 one teams in the Carruthers' National Tournament, the prelimin- 
 ary and finals of the American Amateur Bowling Union, and the 
 public are looking forward with considerable interest to the 
 Standard Union contest, which promises to be the most memorable 
 event in the history of bowling in this city. 
 
 It is proposed to wind up the bowling season with a two-men 
 team contest, made up of the best bowlers having a high average 
 who have regularly bowled in the prominent Brookl 3m tournaments. 
 Several important match games have been played on the public 
 alleys. W. B. Fisher and F. Whittlesey, of the Oxford Club, rolled 
 a series of games with Miller and Lounsbery, of the Union League ; 
 Sellers, of the Echos against Allen, of the Salamanders; Waterbury, 
 of the Echos, with Ward, of the Salamanders ; Sellers and Water- 
 bury against Allen and Sorenson; Steinbugler, of the Midwood 
 Club, against Leuly, of the Columbia; Bierschenck and Kling, 
 Harrison and Seaton, of the Waverly, against Jenkins and Kling, 
 
 of the South Pavr.

 was in third place, having 
 won but six of the twelve 
 games played. Beginning 
 on that day with the Kings 
 County Wheelmen, they 
 scored eighteen consecutive 
 victories, which placed them 
 in the lead, where they re- 
 mained till the finish. 
 
 The Brooklyn Bicycle Club 
 was the most dangerous rival 
 of the Rahway lads for the 
 THOMAS ANDERSON, Jr., championship honors. Cap- 
 
 Brooklyn Bicycle Club. tain Anderson's team played 
 
 good ten -pins the first part of 
 the Tourney, and held the lead for some weeks, but were handi- 
 capped the last half on account of the absence in several of the im- 
 portant games of Sweezey, owing to sickness, and Allen's engage- 
 ments in other Tourneys. 
 
 The Brooklyn Bicycle Club has been represented in the Wheel- 
 men's League the past three seasons. In the first Tourney they tied 
 the Jersey City Athletic Club for second prize. Last season they 
 won the championship. 
 
 Captain Anderson is a well-known figure on local alleys. He 
 was one of the organizers of the Fearless Club eight years ago, and 
 has played with the Recreation and Mineola clubs. His record 
 game this season was 243 in a match game with Waterbury on 
 Trainor's alleys. 
 
 The race for the New York Times high average medal was a 
 feature of the League's Tourney, and the final result in favor of 
 B. T. Allen, of the Brooklyn Bicycle Club, was quite gratifying to 
 the local enthusiasts. His average was 173 28-29. His nearest rival, 
 Olozaga, of the Atalanta Wheelmen, had an average of 173 18-19.

 bers of the commit- 
 tee are Messrs. Pell, 
 Anderson and Has- 
 sell. 
 
 While the game 
 of ten-pins has al- 
 ways held a large 
 circle of admirers 
 and enthusiasts, it 
 was not until the 
 organization of the 
 American Amateur 
 Bowling Associa- 
 tion, now Union, 
 on the evening of 
 September 17, 1890, 
 by W. J. Pell, of 
 the Echo Bowling 
 Club; R. L. Lee, of 
 the C()Smopolitans ; 
 J. H. W. Cole, of 
 the Staten Island 
 Athletic Club; H. 
 C. Zaun, of the American Bowling Club ; A. H. Curtis, of the 
 Manhattan Athletic Club; W. H. Trafton, of the Produce Ex- 
 change Bowling Club, and G. P. Wadleigh, of the Jersey City 
 Athletic Club, that the game attained the popular interest it holds 
 to-day. 
 
 The rules and regulations governing the game and construc- 
 tion of alleys, as formulated by them, have been universally adopted 
 in this country, and in some cases abroad as well. 
 
 The result of the preliminaries brought together for the cham-

 pionship, duplicating their 
 record of last year of having 
 biit one defeat in the tourney. 
 The America led in all de- 
 partments, except total spares 
 and least breaks. Allen, of 
 the Salamander, won high 
 average prize, with a record 
 of 1,453 pins, beating out

THE OSCEOLA CLUB. 
 Representing the A. A. B. U. 
 
 The recognition accorded the American Amateur Bowling 
 Union in giving it representation in the Standard Union Chame 
 
 pionship Tournament was a 
 
 well-deserved tribute. The 
 
 Osceola Club was organized 
 November 8, 1888, and has 
 been represented in the Car- 
 ruthers' National the past five 
 years. It won third prize in 
 the Carruthers' National this 
 season, and second prize in 
 the finals of the A. A. B. U. 
 Captain Boger, in the laat 
 two games the Club played 
 in the Carruthers' National, 
 scored respectively 236 and 
 208. The officers of the Club 
 are : President, L. Taylor ; 
 Vice-President, J. S. Van 
 Tassell ; Secretary, James 
 French ; Treasurer, George 
 H. Kershaw ; Captain, Geo. 
 C. Boger ; Assistant Captain, 
 A. C. Cooper George C. Boger. 
 
 Union Championship Tourney by 
 
 SALAMANDER-REPRESENTING THE BROOKLYN 
 SECTION OF THE A. A. B. U. 
 
 TheSalamander BowHng Club was admitted to the Standard 
 
 reason of their record in the 
 Brooklyn Section of the A. 
 A. B. U., in which they won 
 first prize. The club during 
 the six years of its existence 
 has been foremost in the 
 many tournaments in which it 
 has been engaged. Last sea- 
 son it won first prize in the two 
 Shaughnessy Tournaments 
 of South Brooklyn, and won 
 second prize in the finals of 
 the A. A. B. U. Captain 
 Lougheed is one of the oldest 
 pin knights in this city. He 
 began his career with the 
 Accidental Bowling Club, in 
 Gold street, about twenty 
 years ago. The officers of 
 the Club are : President, H.

 T. C. Carruthers, Prop., 1409 and 141 i Fulton St. 
 
 Officers : President, Nate Harrison ; Secretary, J. F. Gar-

 Tourney began October 8, 1894 ; ended March 25, 1895. 
 For the fifth time since its participation in the Carruthers' 
 National, the Echo Bowling Club has won the championship. The 
 Tournament was without doubt the most representative ever held 
 on the Elephant Club-house alleys, clubs from the Eastern District, 
 Flatbush, South Brooklyn, New York and the Hill section of this 
 city all striving for championship honors. The club prizes were 
 
 won in the order here print- 
 ed : Echo, Fearless, Osce- 
 ola, Adelphi, Salamander 
 Orchard and Ivanhoe. 
 
 The history of bowling in 
 this city is so closely identi- 
 fied with that of the Echo 
 Club that they are well nigh 
 inseparable. Organized in 
 May, 1884, "the Club at once 
 assumed a prominent posi- 
 tion, and during the ten years 
 of its existence the club's rec- 
 ord has been a most pro- 
 gressive and honorable one. 
 Prominent among its mem- 
 bers is William J. Pell, who, 
 of all men connected with 
 the sport, has put forth the 
 best efforts to elevate and 
 place the game on a firmer 
 footing. His connection with 
 the A. A. B. U. is too well 
 
 William B. Sellers, 
 
 of the Echo. 
 
 known to be referred to. W. B. Sellers is one of the few men who 
 can lay claim to having made the maximum score of 300. This he 
 made on February 11, 1890, in a practice game on the Elephant Club- 
 house alleys.

 Officers: President, C. H. Ebbets; Secretary, C. W. Pow- 
 ell ; Treasurer, A. Gondran. 
 
 Tourney began October 6, 1894; ended March 26, 1S95. 
 The championship of Gondran's Brooklyn Tourney resulted in 
 favor of the Qui Vive, with the highest team average on record m 
 this city. The fact that the Club had already won the champion- 
 ship of Bantle's Flatbush Tourney gave to the Club winning second 
 
 place the privilege of repre- 
 senting the Gondran Tour- 
 ney in the Standard U?iwn 
 Championship Tournament. 
 Prospect and Ansonia fin- 
 ished tie for second prize, and 
 on the roll-o£E the former 
 won. The Prospect Club is 
 a well-known organization, 
 having been active in South 
 Brooklyn bowling circles the 
 past ten years. It won the 
 championship of the Shaugh- 
 nessy South Brooklyn Tour- 
 nament for three successive 
 years. Few men have done 
 more to advance the interest 
 of the sport than George 
 Mason, whose liberality in

 Tourney began October 29, 1894; ended December 21, 1894. 
 The yearly competitions on the Oak Alleys attract general atten- 
 tion in South Brooklyn circles, and the popularity of the resort is a 
 
 matter to which the enter- 
 prising proprietor points with 
 pardonable pride. The Tour- 
 ney, which resulted in favor 
 of the Park, was hotly con- 
 tested by at least four clubs, 
 and the final outcome was a 
 tie for first prize between 
 Park and Arlington. On the 
 roll-off the former won, scores 
 S09 to 747. 
 
 The Park Club was organ- 
 ized November, 1890, and has 
 always made a creditable rec- 
 ord in the various tourneys. 
 The captain of the team is A. 
 J. Bushong, whose consistent 
 work on the base-ball field is 
 a matter of past history. The 
 officers of the Club are: Pres- 
 ident, George Bricklemeier ; 
 Vice-President, P. J. Dono- 
 A J. Bushong, hue ; Secretary- and Treas- 
 
 of the Park. ^i^er, Mr. Taylor. 
 
 In the_ Prospect Heights Tourney, April, 1893, the Park's ten 
 men team, rolling in two sections, scored a total of 2,010 pins. In 
 Cody's Tourney, on the opening night, the five-men team scored 
 94S, of which 131 pins were made in the tenth frame. 
 
 The average prize winners of the Tourney were: Scanlon, 
 Park, 176 ; Bartlett, Park, 173 ; Hill, Aurora, 169 ; McMath, Aurora, 
 168. High individual score prize was won by Bushong, Park, with 
 246. Duval, Universal, won the spare prize with 71, Goggins, Leo 
 Lyceum, being second with 66.

BANTLE'S FLATBUSH TOURNAMENT. 
 
 Games played on the alleys of Albert bantle, No. 
 471 flatbush avenue. 
 
 Officers : President, Charles Schwalbach ; Secretary, H. F. 
 Mayland; Treasurer. George J. Craigen. 
 
 Tourney began October 13, 1894; ended February 9, 1895. 
 
 If there is one club above all others in whose work the fol- 
 lowers of the sport have taken a keen interest it is the Qui Vive. 
 
 They will undoubtedly be 
 one of the leading attractions 
 in the Standard Union cham- 
 pionship tourney. Fortunate, 
 indeed, is ?>antle's tourney in 
 having such a strong and 
 representative organization. 
 The club was organized 
 ten years ago under the name 
 of Poodle and won first prize 
 in a ten-men team tourney on 
 the Golden Eagle alleys, 
 Smith street, in 1890. The 
 distinctive feature of the club 
 is the fact that it is composed 
 
 ""^■rilfc ™^^^^y ^^ ^^® members of 
 
 W^^Km one family, and four of these 
 
 ^^^^m ^ brothers roll on the cham- 
 
 ^HB pion team. John Smith, who 
 
 ^^|il has played with a number of 
 
 prominent clubs, completes 
 the team. The team has ex- 
 Ralph Klucken, ceeded the nine - hundred 
 
 of the Qui Vive. mark on more than one oc- 
 
 casion the past season. In the individual tourney, rolled last sum- 
 mer on Gondran's alleys, Frank Klucken won second average prize, 
 with a record of 214 for twenty-five games, and had a high score of 
 258. A. M. Klucken, in the same tourney, had an average of 212. 
 Fifteen teams competed in the tourney, and the excellent man- 
 agement of President Schwalbach was conducive to the success of 
 the^undertaking. The team records follow :

 The Tourney began January 9, and will finish April 22. 
 The Twenty-sixth Ward Tourney is a unique organization from 
 the fact that the games alternate on five different alleys. The Tour- 
 ney has attracted considerable 
 attention in the upper part of 
 the city. Besides offering the 
 free use of the alleys the propri- 
 etors give the following prizes : 
 Five gold medals to the winning 
 team, bowling balls, silk umbrel- 
 las, gold lockets and scarfpins. 
 
 The Manhattan Bowling Club 
 was selected by the Poard of 
 Managers to represent the Tour- 
 ney in the Standard Union 
 Championship Tournament by 
 reason of its big lead, and 
 assured success in winning first 
 prize. The club was organized 
 August 8, 1880, at John Haller's 
 Harmony Hall. The officers 
 are : President, Charles Dowling ; Vice-President, James Skeggs, 
 Sr.; Secretary, Paul C. Haller; Treasurer, Fred Osswald; Cap- 
 tain, Ed. Hasse. The club has among its members Ed. Stein and 
 W. Kennedy, of the Brooklyn Base Ball Club, both hard hitters at 
 the pins. 
 
 Their first experience in a tourney was on H. Lutgen's alleys, 
 Fulton street and Classon avenue. Tied for first prize with the 
 Monarchs, Monarchs taking the roll-off game by f oui teen pins. In 
 the second Tourney of iSgo-'gi in the Twenty-sixth Ward, won tw^en- 
 ty-six games out of thirty-two, took first prize with an average of 8 83, 
 making the high score of 1,063. Entered Roos's Eastern Dis- 
 trict Tourney in 1892, winning fourth prize. In 1894 entered the 
 Flatbush Sub-tournament, winning all twelve games, first prize, 
 837 average, capturing two individual and one spare prize.

 ROOS'S EASTERN DISTRICT TOURNAMENT. 
 
 Games Played on Apollo Hall Alleys, George Roos, 
 Proprietor, 1437 Gates Avenue. 
 Officers. — President, C. Brethaner; Vice-President, J. Eppig; 
 Treasurer, J. Ammerman ; Secretary, F. X. Gehrling. 
 
 Tourney began November 10, 1894; ended March 13, 1895. 
 The Apollo Club was organized May 30, 1877, and is perhaps 
 the best-known bowling organization in this country. It was the 
 
 pioneer in the movement for 
 tournament competitions, and 
 has been active in the sport for 
 more than fifteen years. In the 
 Pilkington tournament of Har- 
 lem in 1884, the club not only 
 carried off the championship 
 trophy, but all the individual 
 prizes. It won the Grote Tour- 
 nament Cup twice in succession, 
 and became its absolute pos- 
 sessor. In the famous Pomeroy 
 Tournament of i886-'87 it won 
 first 'prize without sustaining a 
 single defeat. The club won first 
 prize the two followdng years in 
 the same tourney. In the Acad- 
 emy Tournament of iS90-'9i it 
 iefeated all the crack clubs, and again brought the championship to 
 his city. In the American National of i89i-'92 they finished tie 
 tvith the Spartan for first prize, but were defeated on the roll- off. 
 
 The officers of the club are : President, Fred. Hummel ; Vice- 
 -President, J. Williams ; Secretar^^ Fred. Krauss ; Treasurer and 
 aptain, Martin Keppler.

 Tourney began November i6, 1894 ; ended January 14, 1895. 
 
 The handsome alleys at the corner of Gates and Reid avenues 
 tiave been the scene of many important events during the short 
 Deriod of their existence. The charity tournament, which attract- 
 ed the elite of the city, and the international match between the 
 Victoria Rifles of Montreal and the America of Newark, were 
 rolled on these alleys and gave the place a national reputation. 
 
 The two-men Team Tourney was a modest beginning, but its 
 success was the more noticeable on that account. There were 
 ive-team prizes ; Dobbie and Twiddy winning first, Walters and 
 VToller second, Reed and Williamson third, Cooper and Farrington 
 lourth, Miller and Oliver fifth. The average prize winners were :

 Tourney began January 7, 1895 ; ended March 7, 1895. 
 The FrankUn alleys have been the scene of many notable 
 latch games, but never till this season had a tournament been 
 
 held. The success of the 
 undertaking was instantan- 
 eous, and led to the forma- 
 tion of a three-men team 
 tourney which began the 
 early part of the present 
 month. Credit is due to 
 Horace E. Brown, the secre- 
 tary and manager of the 
 tourney, for the well-nigh 
 perfect management. 
 
 The best record game for 
 two men was rolled by Kelly 
 and Lovett, a total of 449 pins. 
 The team finished with the 
 highest average. The tour- 
 ney resulted in a tie for first 
 and third prizes, and on the 
 roll off Frese and Cadieu 
 ad Meyer and Walters were successful. 
 
 The prize winners were as follows: First Team, Frese and 
 
 adieu ; second, J. and H. Boemermann ; third, Meyer and 
 
 Walters ; fourth, Kelly and Lovett ; fifth, E. Maass and Gabriel.

THE INDIVIDUAL RECORD. 
 Charles J. Walters, of the Reinecke bowling Clue 
 
 The record game of the season of iS94-'95 was rolled by Cha* 
 J. Walters, of the Reinecke Bowling Club, in the Gondran Brool 
 lyn Tournament, on February 5, 1S95. 
 
 Mr. Walters became a member of the Reinecke BowHng Clu 
 shortly preceding the opening of the present season. His skill an 
 
 earnest work, combined wit 
 a genial disposition, soo 
 made him a favorite. H 
 was placed on the team e 
 tered in the Carruthers N 
 tional. It was his first exp 
 rience in a five-men tea 
 Tourney, but a c q u i 1 1 e 
 himself like a veteran, 
 not only led his team, b 
 stood fourth on the list 
 high average bowlers at t 
 completion of the Toume 
 with a record of 171. 
 
 Good judges of bowlin 
 who were present when M 
 Walters rolled the recoH 
 game, claim that it was t 
 
 best exhitition of bowlin 
 witnessed in this city. There was no uncertainty about any of th 
 strikes. They were made from the headpin, and the sweep was as 
 clean as the most critical could desire. The game, which will have 
 an historic interest, is given in detail :

 WINN'S PATENT 
 ALLEY BALL CHECK 
 
 OR BOWLING ALLEY BALL RETARDER. 
 
 A device to check the momentum of Bowling Alley or Ten Pin Balls, near 
 the end of the return runs, has long been needed. \t is desirable to return 
 the balls as swiftly as possible to save time, but balls returned at a high rate> 
 of speed create sad havoc among those balls lying on the runs, as well as 
 making a great deal of noise. 
 
 Clubs who have used this device claim it saves its cost in a very short 
 time, by decreasing the wear, as well as preventing accidents, crushed 
 fingers, etc., from balls that are returned swiftly. 
 
 We believe that all Rowling Alley Proprietors in the country will find it 
 profitable to place this Retarder on their Alleys. 
 
 PRICE, - - - $10.00 EACH.
