easier for him. His steady hand was
fortified by mede of confidence, and he
played phenomenal game up to the
Dinth, when his brilliant career was
cut short by an obdurate corner pin. 1t
was on the right hand side of the alley,
the most exasperating spot for right
handed bowler, and Jim missed it by
TIE fractional part of an inch with the
two succeeding balls. That was a
frightful fall down! Only 9 pins when
he had been averaging near the acme OF
80. In the next frame lie retrieved him
self and bowled out three consecutive
ten-strikes- Had he made 20 IN THE
ninth inning he would have distanced
all competitors in Individual records.
That is to say, he would have made 235
as against Ordway's 229.
At times the battle was uncertaln,and
this fact contributed to the excitement.
For illustration, the Nushkas opened up
a wide lead in the first two frames to
have it reduced to only four pins i'll the
next two. Then they widened the gap
again. and again the University boys
fought them back steadily, until once
more it was anybody's game. Then
Wall and Elmer began their great work
and the victory was assured.
j. +. Bayer, of the Universities, did
great work. but Fred Bayer, the cap
tain. had an off night. His side ball,
usually SO effective, had an unhappy
way of curving in past the king pIn,an
then he was handicapped by miserable
breaks when he should have had strikes.
Fortune was against MIN throughout,
Raddatz did some splendid work, and
elected repeated cheers as the game pro-
crossed frame after frame. save in the
fifth and sixth innings. when he made
wretched failures. Had it not been for
this circumstance he would have stood
an easy leader of his five. But hypoth-
fall back upon in instances of this sort.
However, ne is a likely young per-
former, and promises to be in the van
before many months pass. He is an as
siduous and faithful trainer. and the
hour or two he spends on the alley will
tell upon his form.
The epitome of the game is given in

THE ST. PAUL FRANCHISE.
There Is Danger That 1t May Go

Elsewhere.
It Is not yet decided whether or not
st. Paul is to be represented i'll the new
Western league. The outlook of the
new organization is very rosy indeed.
and there is scarcelya question but that
base ball would pay well in st. Paul.
but in all this city of 10000 people
there seems to be not man with suffi-
cient stamina to take the franchise
as a gilt and put in a team. Not
more than $4,000 is required to put the
team into the field fully equipped, and
it is strange that nobody with thai
amount of ready cash is willing to step
into the breach. There are other ways,
too, of getting the game on its feet.
Five lovers of the national sport might
each put in $500, get player manager,
and thus set the game going. Then,
too, two or three persons of wide ac-
quaintance might go around with sub
scription paper, getting presidents of
banks, proprletOrS OF wholesale
houses. city officials and others to
give from $50 to $500 each with
the understanding that if money re-
NAMED in. the treasury at the seasons
close the subscribers should be returned

interested in having this city represent
ed in the league, and its sporting editor
is willing to act with any gentlemen
who have feasible plan of getting the
club into the field. Ii something is not
done in the next few days, Grand Rap

that has met the Enterprise lads that
had the Nushkas been retired, why
the Kegels would alone stand
with single defeat. Naturally
the Kegels were anxious for the over
throw of be Nushkas, and as naturally
the Enterprise wanted to see the Nush-
kas win. 1t is the hope now of the lat
ter team to defeat the NusFas, and have
the Humors win from the Kegels.
Foley's alleys were literally packed
with enthusiastic votaries of the mag
nficent sport to witness the event, and
it proved the most exciting in the entire
series to date. bud Finch was posted
in the umpire's chair, and his clarion
voice called off the results OF each third
ball as the pins went merrily dancing
into the pit. Tom Foley was driv-
en- to his Wits ends to pre-
vent the crush on the alleys,
for the zealots pressed hard upon the
performers until space was at pre-.
MUM, and the boWlerS were forced to
cry for more room. }. c. Wall, the stall
wart athlete of the Nushka club, carried
off the honors of the evening, and he
pressed close upon the record made by
OrdWay week ago. His total score
was 224, and it is a record worthy the
admiration of any professional in the
land 1t was clean bowling. too. He
got nothing he did not deserve, and it
should be narrated that he had several
breaks that in all probabilities promised
to be ten-strikes when the ball went
gracefully rolling toward the king pin.
Elmer came next with a score of 2O3,
and this is the first time that two mem
bers of single team have been able to
cross the double-century mark in one
contest. Wall started in slow. The
corner pins stubbornly refused to top
pie over, no matter how fair the ball.
This fate followed him up to the fourth
frame with almost preternatural Sc
qusence, when he happily bowled his
first strike. Then things began to come

FOR THE wIND-UP.
When the Remaining Contests
Will Be Played.

AS has been explained above, there
are Just four more games to be played
in the tournament. These are between
the Enterprise and the BiSmarcks, the
Nushkas and the North Lights, the
Nushkas and the Enterprise, and the
Kegels and the Hum ors. 1t will take
good guesser to tell what the up
shot will be. Every aggregation is
liable to win, and the thirty athletes
interested are i'll hard, active daily
training for the events. There will be
no games on Tuesday and Thursday
evenings. The first struggle Will occur
between the Enterprise and Bismarcks
tomorrow evening; the NuShkaS and
Nushkas and Enterprise Friday even
ing. and the Kegels and Humors Satur
day evening, and all these games will
come off in Foley's alleyS-neutfal
ground.
A gentleman offered to wager last
evening that the Nushkas will win the
GLOBE trophy. He was banking on
their defeating the Enterprise and North
Lights and then laying out the Kegels
in the pay-Off But it was the North
Lights that defeated the Kegels. and the
only team that came anywhere near that
goal.

John Fl. Ives waltzed into Foley's last
evening with chip on his shoulder.
He challenged GLOBE reporter to
game of straight carom billiards. but
the latter was otherwise engaged. and
finally John deigned to try conclusions
with his fellow attorney, w. J. Romans.
Sequel: He was not in it, and he weighs
ten pounds less.
1t was rumored that George Benz is
willing to venture little white labeP'
that the HumorS come out in halo OF
glory from the battle next Saturday
evening. This would surely be glory
enough for one day, and should the
team then fail to carry off the coveted
emblem, the pangS OF disappointment
will have been aSSuaged.

The peculiar mode of delivery which
J. M. Hawks, of the Press club, has in
sending his ball down the alley suggests
the idea that spring board would not
be out OF place.
It was amusing! In the game at
Amort's last night the Press team was
in dishabille, laboring with might and
main to make the pins ldll uOWu, WHliC
the Kegels, with their coats on, calmly
smoked their pipes and sent the pins

Jump out of the window while the train
was at full speed. Fitzsimmons, Maher
and party Of ten men, who had been
to New Orleans to witness the fight,
were journeying North. They had the
stateroom and several other seats en-
gagged. FitZSimmons and his friends
were sitting off, chatting and smoking,
and were not taking any special notice
of Maher, who sat in a seat by himself.
When about ten miles from Charlotte
Maher raised the window next to which
he was sitting and leaned out. AS he
had been suffering considerably from
his pummeling, those who noticed
the action thought he wanted
fresh air and gave little thought
to it. Shortly afterwards Maher
Sprang from his seat and made
rush for the open window. In an in
slant FitZsimmonS guessed his inten-
ton and made a bound for him, and
with the assistance of others rescued
him. A physician in the party admin
istered an opiate, which produced sleep.
Much excitement was created among
the passengers.
