The bowling team representing the polishing room of R. Blackinton & Co., polished off the toolmakers the other night at the Anawan Alleys in a match game, the two strings being heartbreakers. The toolmakers took the second event by a single pin, while the polishers won, leading just two pins in the final event. Kiernan was the high bowler of the match with a three string total of 267.
