Took . desperate Measure.

An English writer tells IN amusing
story of a country house where q reg
ular daily routine is observed, urd
where no chance Is given one of break
ing the monotony. It is OF man who
wanted to stay in a country house,
thinking it would give him an oppor-
tunity of proposing to girl with
whom he had been in love for a long
time. His visit was to last fortnight,
but the last evening came without his
having had one chance of being alone
with her during the whole time. AS
he sat ut dinner (of course he was at
the opposite end of the the table to
where she was) he felt the time was
fast passing away, and in q few hours
he would no longer be in the same
house with her. When the ladies went
to the drawing room. he would have to
sit on in the dining room. His host
might allow him to look in at
the drawing room for few minutes
that evening, but after that his pres
ence would be required in the billiard
room. In utter desperation he took mp
the menu card, and on it wrote: Twill
you marry mc?" lie doubled it up,
telling the butler to give it to the lady
in question. He did so. She read it,
and. with the perfect sang froid born
only of the nineteenth century, said:

LOCAL SPORTING GOSSIP.

Next Saturday evening the entries
will close for the annual winter bowling
tournament given by the GLOBE. This
will be the feature event of the year in
the way of healthful pastimes. The
prizes will be numerous. The GLOBE
will put up an elegant and costly gold
and silver tankard as the first prize.
and Thomas Foley, who conducts all of
the GLOBES events. will donate solid
gold button to each member of the win
ming team. These alone will comprise
trophies worth the struggle, but they
do not complete the list. The merchants
of st. Paul. recognizing the GLOBES
enterprise In fostering the better class
of sports, have volunteered valuable
prizes. until every club that participates
lin the series will receive something,
from the grand prize to the 'booby."
e. IL
1t is probable that at least ten clubs
will compete. The play will begin one
week from Monday evening. The choice
of clubs will be decided by drawing
lots. That is to say, the names of each
of the clubs that are to participate will
into hat. The two first drawn will
play the opening game. But there Is no
intention of playing so frequent lythat
tina series will be unpleaSantly hard. At
first 1t is likely that only three OF tour
games each week will be played. This
is decided upon because of the fact that
a great number OF the boWlers are in
terested in business pursuits. and the
holiday trade will require their time and
attention.
The clubs should bear in mind that
ten men may be entered and from this
tea the captain can choose his team of
FIVE each evening they play. Last year
/ only seven men were entered, but it is
a hardship for the players to be in
readiness for contest on any night,
and 1t has been deemed advisable to in
crease the number that team may
enter to ten.
Up to this time seven of the best
bowling clubs in the city have definitely
declared their intention to enter the
lists, and at least three more are
making preparations to enter. Many
OF the clubs have kept up
their practice, and are in excellent form
for the exciting battles of the winter.
Among these are the Columbia, the
WabasflaWs, the SUBMITS, the Seven
Corners. the West Sides, the Capitols,
the Enterprise and the Finch, Van
Slyke & C0mpany's.

Bowling has become fad since the
GLOBE encouraged the sport by offering

and Ives is conceded the greatest bill
iardist that ever lived. The Sporting
Life relates:
Thanks to the aid of Foley, Slosson
and Schaefer, Frank Ives is today prob
ably the foremost expert of the world"
The following is an exceedingly real
istic portrayal of MIR. Foley, and it is
taken from the New York Clipper. 1t
serves to indicate in what esteem the
veteran is held by the sporting world.
and especially by bilIiardists and pat
rons of the grand paStime:
sketch of Foley.
Thomas Foley was born in Cashel,
Ireland, Aug. l6, 1912, and he was
among the lares and penates that his
parents moved from the old country to
this in l848. They landed in this city,
but settled down on Staten Island when
that place was nothing more than a
series of farms. They remained until
1854, and then they transported their
household gods, among whom still was
Thomas, to Chicago. There the young
ster had to go to work. In the summer
of 1855 the sharp attrition began that
has existed between him and the world
for nearly thirty years. He earned his
first dollar at the West In the billiard
room of the old fremont house. This
room was up stairs, on the Lake street
side. 1t was built for concert hall.
Chicagoans. who have fashion OF
thinking themselves younger than they
really are, fancy that Jenny Lind sang
in that hall in 1854, whereas she never
sang anywhere i'll this country save dur
ing the seasons Of 1S50-l-2. The IRE
mont house room contained ten tables.
There were then few larger or better
rooms west of this city and Philadelphia,
and San Francisco. Nine of these tables
Seven of them were drums, and the
other three were crackers. In other
words, seven had resonant wooden beds,
and the other three had marble ones, SO
brittle that they would break il q piece
of chalk fell onto them, whereas many
of the billiard tables of today will only
be thrown out of level if cube of chalk
hits them, which is tribute TO the rare
dellcacy of their framework. Foley re-
manned in the room of the fremont
house until the fall of 1860, when he
turned barkeeper and began Juggling
glassware in the Briggs house. There
he remained until he had nearly filled
the old graveyards of Chicago; then re-
morse seized him add he left the Briggs
house IN September of 1865, and went
back to billiards, to play which he had
had but little opportunity while he was
a tumbIeronicon performer.
He ayailed himself of chance to fit
up and run a new room i'll the Newhall
house, Milwaukee, Wis, where he con-
tinUed until the following May, when
he went back to Chicago, and III that
city he has been ever since. The first
time he went into business for himself
was i'll 1866. The location was the
northeast corner of Monroe and Dear
born streets. After a few months he
moved to l53 Dearborn street. a room
that in his hands became known from
one end of the country to the ether,
from the fact that it's proprietor would
sell to others liquor that he would never
touch himself, There he remained an

music hall, Chicago. and won by Foley
by 355, his average being 1923. The
third game, three-ball carom, Frawley
forfeited, in order to make match at
the pushing game with Rhines. whom
he defeated in CARROTS hall, Cleveland,
Jan. %, 1859. This emboldened his
friends to match him with Foley at the
full game for $1,000 side. 1t was
played in CrOsby'S music hall. Chicago,
Feb. "a, 1859, and Foley won by 1,500 to
1902, the best runs being 1873 for the
loser and 24S for the winner, whose
no one but McDevitt had up to that
time beaten in match on that size and
style of table. This match was made
in Cleveland after FraWley had beaten
Rhines. Foley gave him $1,000 to
Waive a Toss
for cities and play. In Chicago. in prac-
tice for the match, Frawley was re-
puted to be making larger runs than
anybody else in those days but Nc
by Tom ElWood, started the betting in
Chicago at 100 to so, but before the play
began the Chicagoans brought the
CleVeIanders to a dead stop at 100 to %
the other way. This ended Foley's
match-pIaying career. He was suisse
quently induced to enter into r. Klee-
man & Co.'s Chicago tournament, Feb.
81 to March 1, 1871; but he had then been
out of practice for about year and.
when he was beaten by Pierce, whom
ordinarily he could discount, it broke
him all up and he got but third place.
This tournament, the last in which he
participated. was the first of his playing
the three-ball game in public 1t was
for the championship of the Northwest,
and Rhines was first and John w. Coon
second. Foley tied Coon and Pierce
for second, third and fourth places. 1t
Pierce beat him, and Foley in the last
game he played in the tournament
proper had the satisfaction of beating
Rhines, whom no one else defeated.
Having reviewed Thomas Foley's
billiard caraer, it may not be amiss
to mention that he has fig
ured also in politics and in
base ball. He has been an alderman in
Chicago, and for several seasons near.
the beginning of the 1870 decade he was
manager of the famous Chicago base.
ball CLUB. Notwithstanding that his
life has been so busily public, yet he Is
domestic man in the best and purest
sense of that word. He has an interest
ing family, the odds being three to one
in favor of females, and, whether he is
in Chicago or far away from home. his
thoughts are ever with them. 1t Is no
eXaggeratfon to say that he thinks as
mach OF his wife and every one of his
children as he does of his best horse:
and he has stable containing snYeral
more or less trotters, with the chief pet
of which he intends this season to lower
the record-of that particular equine.
Base ball IS no longer his craze, al
though he has lingering love for it,
and billiard playing Is but a lunch
