pionship honors. He has twice given
evidence of his wonderful ability be-
fore the Phoenix Athletic club, and he
expresses the confidence that he will
surprise the little champion tomorrow
evening. This Will be the event of the
present week. 1t will be the most
scientific exhibition of the manly art
that has ever been given in the city,
and the programme will include the
best local talent, and the whole will
comprise the best athletic entertainment
| that the club has yet given, and this is
saying good deal.
This week Abrams Will take Solly to
New York TO seek training quarters.
where the little fellow can fit himself
for his coming battle with Dixon.

Tuesday evening the question of who is
properly entitled to the second prize in the
DAILY GLOBE bowling tournament will be
positively settled. The three clubs that have
been battling for supremacy for the past
| three weeks-the Columbias, the SUBMITS
and the Wabashas will all go upon the
alleys and remain there until one shall have
secured more games than either of the others.
Twice these clubs have played off the tie
in which they ended the tournament proper,
and each time the games have resulted in
successive ties again.
1t has been suggested that the fairest and
most impartial mode of conducting the even
Ings play will be to let all three clubs play at
the same time. Two teams can 90 upon one
alley and one upon the other for five frames,
and they can change over, as is the custom in
ordinary games Of course the club playing
alone will have a slight advantage. as it can
go on to the end of the game little quicker
Hence toss up should be had TO decide how
| the contestants shall be paired OFF.
