KLINE BOWLERS WIN
WITH LEAD OF
Aberdeen Team Loses First
Half of Series.
SCORE IS 4614 TO 4355
Last Five Games or Contest Will
Be riajed 'ext Sunday la
Grays Harbor City.
r BY GEORGE COWNE.
The SL L. Kline bowling team took
the lead In the flret half of the home-and-home
match with the Ideal alley
team of Aberdeen. Wash., yesterday
afternoon on the uregon alleys, when
the local quintet crashed Into the
ten-pins for a total of 4614 to
for the visitors.
The home-and-home series Is a ten
frame affair, with five games rolled
on the local alleys and five on the
Aberdeen drives, with total pins to
count. The final five (tames will be
shot next Sunday at Aberdeen.
As a result of some neat maple
mixing- yesterday the Kline pin rap
pers are now leading on the first five
games by a total of 259 Pins, which
gives them a comfortable margin
when they face the Ideal alley crew
next Sunday at Aberdeen.
Visitors Take Lead.
The first two frames rolled yester
day Indicated that the final result
would be a great deal closer than it
was. The Kline bowlers took the
first frame. 915 to S06. but the Aber
deen team came back in the second
a-ame and won. SSO to 826. which gave
the visitors the lead by 45 pins.
In the third frame the local squad
speeded up and took the game. 932
to 889. Which cut down Aberdeen's
lead to one single pin. The fourth
game found the Kline team hitting
Us stride, and resulted in 1028 to S37
in favor of the locals, which gave
them a lead of 189 pins. In the final
game the Kline team added 70 more
pins to its lead, which put the local
bowlers 259 pins to the good.
J. W. Blaney, captain and manager,
and Fred "Bugs" Itaymond of the
Kline team, fought a pretty race for
the high-pin honors of the day with
the Kline skipper getting an extra
pin for the high score of the match.
Llaney's score was Sao, while Ray
mond was second with 955. Consid
erable credit Is due Setka and Ferrier
of the Aberdeen team, for both men
rolled a steady, consistent game.
Setka was the high man of his team
with 9-5, and Ferrier was second
with 898.
Bell and Perry Tie.
Charley Bell ryd Tom Perry of the
Kline quintet tied for the high single-game
honors with 224 apiece.
Bell got off to a fine start in his
first game, when he scrambled the
sticks five times for strikes, and did
not have a blow or split. Perry hung
up his score In the fourth game,
when he had the voltage to crash
into the setups for seven strikes.
The score:

There are any number of good boys I

would not be surprising if Earl Baird

holding his own with the best at his

than he gets credit for around here,
and so Is Alex Trambitas. The latter!
is not a sensational fighter, but there
are not many who will beat him out-I
side of perhaps Jack Britton, the I
champion of the welterweight divi

has a way of piling up points every I
