The young fellows were game, however, and Shiman liked the alleys. Accordingly, they rolled another game, and tho Al- gonquin crack repeated his first perform- anre, as did the others. They tackled!

"Yes," replied the straight-raced Dave, "it. is simply a Hi-pound ball, the same as anybody uses." "Have you any bleu how he delivers his ball?" was the next question.

"Yes," replied Shiman. "something like Ibis." Soiling Ihe action to the word he rolled a hall down the alley and mado a strike. "That's a very good example' or what he can do."

FOLLMER'S A. H. SiEVERS CO. 1 ALLEYS, The growth of bowling in the Bay Ridge section of South Brooklyn has ben quite rapid, although it is only four seasons since the game was brought prominently before the enthusiasts there. The pace was set by H.

L. Gzanger. who opened the (Iermania Acadomy at Third avenuo and Kitty-first street on September 26, 1902. At that time tho establishment hoasled of eight alleys, but so popular did tho sport become under the clever management or Mr. Gzanger that rour more were added the following year, and a further increase is likely another season.

Mr. Granger is the promoter of the Germania five-man team tournament, which is a fixture during the spring of the year. At present he is conducting the Germania two-mnn tournament on novel lines, while this afternoon at 3 o'clock a meeting will be held to organize a two-man team duck pin tournament, that branch of the sport being now quite popular in South Brooklyn. Some remarkable scores have been bowled on these alleys, the possible having twice been tallied in competition. V.

ITarloe, of tho Acorn Club, rolled 300 on February 21, IftOo. and two months later, Joe Smith, of tho Ben Franklin I.engit". made the same total in a match with Fred Wood. Several pool and billiard competitions arc to bo added features this season. Ii.

Shiman was th. last lo step Tom Clark Fred. Jacobs on lite drives, and as he did so he went over lo the rack where his ball laid, picked it up. 'faced the young men and remarked: "Hoys, me introduce you to Have Shiman." Dave was beaten in thai historic series anil never had a more cnlhusiasilc following ihan those young ivfon. Some time afterward they were present at the While Klcphant and were ihe hardest of Shiman rooters aeninst Yoorheis for the same title, which Shiman.

BROOKLYN PALACE ALLEYS. Alleys. Enthusiastic bowlers frequently become impatient at tho delays In waiting for the pin boy and often get discouraged in trying to bring up their average by poor set tips. It is also unpleasant to get into a game, and feel that some of your opponents are favored by a better set up, although in raising any objection you lose favor with the pin boy upon whom you are dependent. Many progressive alley owners are awake to these facts, and i Weil-Known Alley Proprietor Who oeoeaaoaoeeaeeae i-eague.
