BALTIMORE WINS FIRST SERIES. 



The florist bowling teams of Balti- 

 more, Philadelphia and Washington 

 met on the Baltimore alleys on October 

 27th for three games in the Philadel- 

 phia cup series of six games. 



A good time was had and over 50 

 bowlers and rooters attended. After 

 the battle royal, which was won by the 

 Baltimore team with a score of 2603, 

 an excellent menu was served by 

 Caterer Frank Wolf. F. G. Burger 

 actetj as toastraaster and P. B. Welsh, 

 president of the Baltimore Gardeners' 

 Club, welcomed the guests in appropri- 

 ate words. The captains of the teams, 

 Messrs. Ernest, Habermehl, Seybold, 

 Watson and others, spoke on the sub- 

 ject of bowling inter-city match games 

 and encouraging the social feature of 

 the craft. The Pennsylvania Horticul- 

 tural Society and the Philadelphia 

 bowlers invited the Washington and 

 Baltimore florists to attend the Phila- 

 delphia show on November Sth and 

 bowl the remaining three games. The 

 hospitable Quaker City boys have al- 

 ways made this event a great success. 



The names and scores made in Balti- 

 more are as follows: 



Philadelphia. 

 1st game. 2d game. 3d game.
