JOLLY PALMA JUNIORS.
THIEF Captured THE TSITIAL
GAME OF THE LEAGUE.

Defeated the Elizabeth Athletic Clubs

Bowling Notes.
The seconds of the Amateur Bowling
Association began their series of games
for the junior championship last night,
when the, Palma juniors met the second
team of the Elizabeth Athletic Club.
The contest took place on the Elizabeth
Clubs alleys, and the Palma boys dupli-
Gated the excellent performance of the
seniors of the same club, who won at
Elizabeth.
The victory was captured by the Jersey
City boys by "a pins.
The Elizabeth team made a grand start.
They sent up ia pins in the first frame
and informed the visitors that they had
only struck the usual pace and would
strike a ZOO game,
They minated that-as, their bumps of
generation were well developed they
kindly allowed the seniors of the club TO
represent the organization in the first
class.
The Palmas ran up $50 in their first
frame, and were not dismayed by the KIND
ness OF the Elizabeth boys in fmpart1ng the
I secrets of the institution in confidence.
In fact the Palma boys breatned a few
secrets tina they could hit a sixty aver
age every time but gave the old men a
! chance. They impaired the intelligence
that the Elizabeths would have to do that
seventeen hundred to win, They would
generously spare the veterans n hold
off, but they would do their prettl es
against the youngsters.
The Elizabeth boys went along strong
and in the second frame. had the lead by
81 pins, and commiseratingly said we will
only beat you by 100.
The Jersey City boys struck a nice
streak in the third frame. They added
1856 pins. and chanted it is not up to our
usual high figure, but near it, very near
it. 1t gave them the lead by live pins.
The Palmas kept up their splendid form
and in the fourth frame added liz, send
ing their total to 663 and increased their
command TO twenty-eight pins. When
the fifth frame closed the Palnlas had q
total of Sa2, fifty per cent of a sixteen
hundred and fifty game.
The Elizabeth lads were not slow. They
had a total of 773, or one-half OF q fifteen
hundred and fifty game.
The pace was toe strong II the two
teams dropped in the last half. The
Palma's total for the last five frames was
701, or 121 less than that for the first five,
The Elizabeth boys had a total Of 656
in the last half, which was smaller by III
pins than the total of the first half.
The Palmas kept their distance and in
creased their Leaf from 40 at the fifth by
As In the last five frames. Several good
scores were nude.
The Palma boys were nicely enter
tanned and returned on a late train.

The Rules of the Association and League
on this Point.

The Rules of the Association and League
ON this Point.
The short but tender allusion to profess
sional and semi-professional bowlers in
the Amateur Association has aroused
comment and query. The only laws Of
the association which touch upon the point
are, Rules Nos. ) and 81. They do not de-
bar any player who does not make q
livelihood by his skill in throwing the
ball, and those who nave laid an odd
wager on the result of their bowling
are eligible. Rule No. s is as
foliows.-'In playing. all match games
ten PLAYERS from each club shall conSti-
tute u full team. and they must have been
regular members of the club which they
represent for thirty days Immediately
prior to the match, and they shall not
play In a team representing any other
club in this league during the season."
The other rule which bears upon this
subject. No. 81 is as follows:--
'sNo person who has been expelled from
any club, or who shall at any time re-
eeiye compensation for services as q
player, shall be competent to play
in any match; any club giving
compensation to a player, or having to its
knowledge such a player in its team shall
be debarred from membership in this
League, and they shall not be considered
by any club belonging to this League as a
proper club to engagein a match game,
and such club so playing with them shall
forfeit it's membership
The interpretations of this rule concern
ing professional players is that he must
be a MAJ who receives a. salary for his
services and prevents clubs c~ompensating
expert players. Any man who bowls
without being paid for bowling with the
team is a proper member of the
team. This should settle all ques-
tions regarding the status of the
present teams and the possible members
of the teams. The rules are not as
stringent as those of the Jersey City
Amateur Bowling League in this respect.
which debar any man who has bowled
in a game for a money stake, or in u game
for money. even if the bowler has not
contributed to the stake or received a
share of the money If his team won. The
fact that he took part in a contest for a
purse or stake is sufficient to close the
door of the League against him, as he
is regarded as in the semi-professional
class.

JUST LIKE A JURY.
Twelve Dunderhe ads Give a Cor
Oner the Laugh.

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 1.-The singular
spectacle of coroner's jury defying the
coroner was witnessed this morning at
the resumption of the inquest in the LIE
COney murder case in Camden. The
authorities at the two former sessions of
the inquest had submitted evidence
which they deemed sufficient for the
asking of a verdict to-day. 1t appears,
however, that few of the jurors had
determined among themselves to COM
pei the prosecution to show its hand
and place upon the stand its two star
witnesses, Murray, the head man of
Farmer LIE COney, and Smith, his neigh
Dor. Edward Burroughs, foreman of the
jury, is a lifelong friend of Chalk
ley LIE Coney, the uncle of the
girl who is accused of completely in her
murder, and has taken no pains to con-
ceal his interest in the suspected farm
er's welfare. When Coroner Stanton
informed the jury this morning that
there would be no further evidence SUBJ
mitted and directed the jnrors to retire
and deliberate upon verdict, Bur-
roughs declared that the jury had not
heard sufficient evidence to decide. Two
other jurors also objected to retiring

placed before them, and Coroner Stan
ton, after expostulating with them for
a while, finally called upon the consta-
BILE to ''do his duty" After some par
leying the jury sullenly retired, and at
o'clock. after an absence of about four
hours, returned with verdict
and a protest. The verdict. signed
by the twelve jurymen, was to
the effect that Anna LIE Coney came to
her death at the hands of parties un-
known to them. The protest, signed by
eight of the jurors, was that certain
evidence had been withheld from the
jury by the coroner, and to this the jury
objected, regarding it as an illegal ac-
ton which interfered with the dis
charge of their duty.
