He Would Not Be Duped bv Irresponsi-
bic Parties Who Fleeced the Spectators.
"Chappie" Moran was not afraid TO
meet Avery. but he objected to being
feeced. He made contract which was
violated, and it was plain that unscrupu-
lous and irresponsible fellows were en-
deayoring to make tool of him to enrich
themselves. He was too old bird to be
caught by chaff.. | saw last night. a
copy of the agreement. The parties
who made the match bound themselves
to put up the money in three INSTALL
ments. They had only deposited 40
which was put up at the time of signing.
The agreement required them to deposit
the entire stake before weighing In. They
did not have the money and offered prom
ises and bluffs. "Chappie" offered TO
wait until their return for two hours or
ten hours If necessary, but he demanded
that the money be produced and placed
in the keeping of responsible parties.

when they found that Moran did not in
tend to be bilked, very calmly remarked
that they had man in training to meet
Avery and the crowd would not be disap-
pointed. Then twas evident what the
scheme was. They did not intend that
Moran should meet Avery. 1t was
merely a gate receipt speculation
and they had in anticipation that
Moran would not be guled. put
an inferior, and cheap fighter. 1t was
Ned Mullfgan, of Brooklyn. He went on
in order to enable the gang to collar the
gate receipts. They put on four ounce
gloves, did the fake act and Mulligan
went out In the fourth round. The spec
tators were ont and injured, but being
ignorant of the facts blamed Moran. who
had refused to be victimized by the gang
who so cleverlv swindled the audience by
using Moran's name to draw the crowd.

NORTH HUDSON.

Kossuth Company, G. S. B., will have
ball at Meyers Hall, Union Hill, next
Saturday night.
One Of the most active of the willing-to-
be-candidates for Councilman in Union
Hill is Louis Mitchell. He is certain
that he will be nominated and Just as
certain that he will be elected. Mitchell
is a veteran of the war and has many
friends.
The Councllmen whose terms expire
next spring are Conway. Schwartz and
Haege. The first two will not run again.
Mayor Conway is to devote all his time
to business, aud Mr.. Schwartz thinks his
age demands his retirement from partici-
patton In the active duties of politics. MIR.
Haege will run again and will probably
be elected.
The next meeting of the West HoboKen
Democratic Club will be held one week

thought larger quarters than Recorder
Reinhart's office affords will be neces-

there will be no necessity for fearing that
the quarters will be TOO small. The new
house will contain bowling alleys, billiard
rooms, u hail, card rooms aud all artrac-

STRIKES AND SPARES.
What the BoWlers of Hudson County
are Doing on the Alleys.

Mr.. Fisher, of the League team, who
put up a score of 17s with 2 strikes, .
spares and break ON the Palma alleys,
has received the congratulations of host
of friends. Such feat on strange alleys
is not often performed.
Olmstead. upon whom the game between
the Riverside Athletic team and the Jer-
sey boys depended, has been growing
ever since he made the horrible split
which allowed him to gather in only
eight pins at critical moment. Ohm
stead usually puts up an excellent game,
and on this occasion rolled in fine form
up to the last frame, when he made the
unfortunate break.
Schultz has been making some fine
scores. He now boasts of an average OF
174, with strikes, spares and 2 breaks.
Leaycraft, another of the League team
bowlers. is not doing the work expected
of him.
Bowley is one of the teams standbyes,
but he is not bowling in good form.
either.
Anness is one of the best bowlers in the
club He has been cracking the pins to
the tune of $50 to 1876 Of late.
BILLY" Speer was awarded leather
medal by his admirers last week as the
clnmsiest bowler in the club.
The pin boys are wondering when Star
rett will get his muscle down. He
smashes the pins in showers over the
boys heads every time he drives ball
down the alleys.
The amateur bowlers have been doing
but little of late, and, consequently, but
little amusement has been afforded the
staid old bowlers.
General Bowling Notes.
Captain Huson is hopeful that his team
of wheelmen bowlers will score victory
in their next match. The boys have been
practicing every night for the past week
and some rather good scores have been
put ND. Captain Huson III one game put
up score of 2l7, which is dandy. But
200 has been his average.
Fred Edick, another member of the
team, smashed the pins to the tune of
1856. He is giving older bowlers a great
shaking up. He promises to be one of
the safest Dowlers on the team before the
close of the wheeling tournament.
Keer, another member of the team, is
doing good work, but the pin boys OBJ
ject to standing at the end Of the alleys
when he gets in position. His average is
1853.
Ballard is also making Captain Husou
hustle. He is acknowledged to be the
easiest and most graceful bowler on the
team. He has record of 1877.
Edick. Keer, Ballord and Huson, one
night last week put up game OF 712,
which gave each man an average of 17S.
The Riverside whee)men. who will soon
up game of Ills one night last week-an
average of 139. They must do better
than that to beat the Hudson county
bOVs.
