HORSE SHOE PITCHING IS FOR SUCCESSFUL SEASON Thelocal horseshoe experts have surviyed.the «first week of the indoor lodge tournament, some having slipped a little from last year’s top form, some holding up in -good shape, and some having weathered their contests safely but still shivering from chose calls. .

Some of the inexperienced players of Court Christoforo Columbo showed some sensational class in their throwing and opinions seemed to 'agree that it was only the experience of Court Garfield’s pitchers that turned the tide toward them. Max Solaro and Baptiste Tocolini in their first tournament games turned ;in scores including six and five ring“ers respectively while Muscardini, ;Giani and Gregori each circled the \peg twice. For Court Garfield, Cap. Tony Rore and Charles Sharp slipped across five ringers apiece, and Leonard, and Foote each _ corraled two. Cary Arbogast, whose Odd Fellow’s team will meet the Christopher Columbo pitchers this coming week, apparently is not awed by the showing made _ by the new en‘trants.
