The records of the teams and the In
dividual bowlers io the coolest just
terminated between J. E. Barragar, E.
A. Murphy and W. B. King, the de
fenders, and F. O. Flaharty, George
Simenstad and C. S. Barnes, the chal- 1
lenders, for the Kern cup, show a sub
stantia! improvement ip Skagway bowl
ers over the records made in the tourn
ament for the sxme cup a roar ago.
While all of the bowlers have gained in
strength, particularly noteworthy Is
the improvement io W. B. King, J. E.
Barragar and George Simensi?d, who
added 19, 16 and 15, respectively, to
to their averages. A year ago the j
Kern trophy was woo on an average
per player per game of 143, or 13 less
than the same bjwlers made in the re
cent contest.
The average in the 15 tames made by
J. E. Barragar, 1*3, places hitn among
the crack bowlers cf the coast. It is
better than that made by Seattle's rep
resentative in a recent match for big
money with a crack bowler from San
Francisco, and only one pin per game
ess than that made by the wioner of
that contest.
The records, which have just been
nude up. are as follows:

must stoop over, when to stcop means

work with rack.ng pains and many aches
from kidney ills. Kidneys cause more
