The second game in the challenge
series for the DAILY GLOBE Twin City
amateur billiard trophy will come off at
Foley's Friday evening. The prinei-
pals will be Thayer, the present holder
of the tankard, and Bingham, the win
ner of the third prize in the tOurna-
ment proper. The game will be 300
points, straight billiards, and the bet
ting seems to be even. Both men al
ways play for blood. Nothing can dis.
concert either, and it promises 10 be the
most sensational and exciting cOntrO-
verSy of the series.

Young Tom Foley and Charley Glow
have finished the tournament tie. One
of them will be entitled to next chal-
lenge privileges, and a game OF 200
points will soon be played by them to
determine which shall have the oppor-
tunity. 1t is an open question and the
outcome will he watched with great
deal of interest by all the amateur play
erS OF the Twin Cities. 1t is not likely,
however, that this game will be played
the present week.

Capt. Jim WALL of the famous Nushka
bowling team. winners of the GLOBE
trophy last winter, has returned to the
city, and he will probably soon have the
old team reOrganized and ready to en-
ter the GLOBE tournament this winter.
The emblem to be offered by this paper
will be far superior and more desirable
than the badges hung up last winter.
1t will be challenge tankard fully as
elegant and costly as the billiard tro-
ply.
All the bowling teams there to enter
the tournament this winter are now in
at least weekly practice, and some of
the clubs are playing oftener. The
scores promise to be an average of over
500 this time. Indeed, there is not q
club meet that some of the performers
do not go above 200 pins in the play.
IL
The Seven Corners club is doing some
wonderfully fine playing. 1t worked on
Foley's alleys Monday evening. and
Haupt made the phenomenal score of
cuStomed to the alleys. All the men,
bers of the club, in fact, were in the
vicinity of 200. and this is an indication
of what may be expected of the aggre-
CATION this winter.
The University club did some elegant
bowling Wednesday evening, on their
alleys out on University avenue. Soon
they will play few practice games at
Foley's to renew their familiarity With
the alleys. They are capable of forcing
any rival aggregation to their greatest
endeaYorS.
Capt. Charley Geissers West Side
club will play at Foley's Monday even
ing. This is club of great strength.
Capt. Gelssel plays with admirable
precision, and is always up to the double
century mark;
-+t+.
The doctors and the newspaper boys
will play a match game out at White
Bear lake Tuesday evening" The alleys
there are said to be in fair condition,
and both teams are likely to make big
scores.
For the coming GLOBE bowling tour
nament 1t has been decided to admit
the entrance of ten players from each
club, and in championship contests the
captains of the clubs respectively NAV
designate the five that are to take part
in the pleasures. A year ago seven
players were entered, but it was found
that this number was too small. Often
it became hardship to get five of the
seven players to the alleys of an even
ing.
~ Oh
Lew Shaw and his estimable wife are
expected to come to st. Paul i'm a short
time to participate in fancy shot bill
lizard exhibition. 1t is suggested that it
would be to the interest of the CONNER
cial club to get them for an exhibition
some evening while here. This could be
open to the ladies as we'll as the male
members of the club.

The McCarthy-Domas glove dispute
Will Occurr at some point near Hast
ings. Friday evening, Oct 81, or one
week from next Friday. The principals
are in active training for the event. and
1T promises to be an interesting affair.

Joe Higgins has thus far failed to ac-
cept Herman Smiths challenge. The
challenge is a handicap in its provisions.
When Higgins first came to ST. Paul.
after being disappointed in getting on a
match with Jack King, the cateh-as-
catch-can giant, he offered to throw
forfeit the match in the event Smith
wins a single fall. Smith has chal.
lenged Higgins on this basis, and he
hopes to get on contest.
1T
Charley Moth has posted forfeit to
meet Jack King in catch-as-catch-can
or GrfecO-ROman wrestling contest foy
$500 side. King Is now in Butte City
and it is expected that an arrangement
will be completed within the coming
few weeks for the most sensational
match ever witnessed in this state.
