Altmaun, K. Haldo, H. Raugl, Joe Steibig, Joe Phcetzer, Charles Struebeck, K. Kempf, J. Reinecke,E. Miller, John Schmitt, Ph. Wolf, Charles Leher and F.

Gtmdermann, August Meyer and Sara Brightley.The players all started out in good spirits and made some excellent initiatory “rolls,*’ some of them knocking ar. entire “frame into pie” at every roll, but it soon became evident that the Indianapolis boys were getting tl}e best of the match.The first match, a ten pin “frame,” was wou easily by the Iloosier players, beating their opponents 284 pins.After some music and beer, the second match, similar to the first, took place, and resulted almost as disastrously to Lohisville as the first, being beaten 162 pins.In the third and last contest of the series, which consisted of a three-pin roll, or “cocked hat,” the Indianapolis crowd again distanced their competitors, beating them 21 pins. This closed the contest, and gave the championship to the State of Indiana.
