1 min readThe Turner Bowling Section team and the Missions decided the question of supremacy on neutral ground at Sommers' alley last evening. The Missions succeeded to the title of champions, which the Turner boys won over them about a year and a half since. It was thought, only after a hard fought contest, for not until the last inning of each game was played out, could a guess be ventured on the result.
First game—Turners, 265 pins; Missions, 233; Turners won by 32 pins.
Second game—Turners, 269; Missions, 271; Missions won by 2 pins.
