DURING RECESS. 



Detroit to Wallop Cleveland. 



Our club meets regularly Thursday 

 nights for bowling, the last meeting 

 being February 22nd, when enthusiasm 

 wa.xed high over the coming contest 

 with the Cleveland bowlers. Many of 

 the regulars' have been benched and 

 rebenched over their inability to make 

 strikes, and one or two "dark horses" 

 have appeared who find it hard to 

 make less than a 200 score. All in all 

 our worthy Captain Geo. Streit has pre- 

 pared a ttam which will be a certain 

 winner. 



Me3sr.s. Jerry Stock and Fred Pautke 

 two old rivals at the game, have been 

 specially delegated to bring back the 

 trophy which Cleveland carried away 

 at the last visit.

 week :
