time to accommodate the different or

that was reasonable in this particular,
aid not a single game has been declared

lumbia and the Summit clubs, and.

for the play-Off game between the clubs
named will occur tonight, and, as init
mated, if the Columbus win. they Will
both land the second, or Meyers Broth

Tom Fol, has bulletined the prom
ised midsummer billiard tournament.
1t will be Tor amateurs, as usual, ana 1t
will be a sweepstakes handicap. In
this respect it will be an innovation.
Nothing of the sort has occurred lii the
Northwest. Each entry is to be accom-
panied by deposit, but the exact
amount has not yet been decided upon.
.,et
the entrance fee placed at $40, while
others are inclined TO the opinion that
this is a little too much, and they Sug-
gest that So or even less would insure
larger entry and more exciting tour
ney. However, all the details will be
arranged in due time. 1t is the purpose
of Mr.. Foley to at first get the cOncenSus
of opinion concerning the money that is
to be made the fee. The manager will
add $50 in cash, and the purse and the
entrance money W II be divided among
the three highest at the conclusion. SUI
flee it to say. that the two highest at
the finale will win enough TO take them
to the worlds fair if they are moderate.

Both Charley Glow and Frank Thayer

sweepstakes Switchboard tournamentto
begin in a month or SO, and entries may
be made now at any time. He will add

viii Hatley. well known in this city,
owing to his long connection with Fo-
ieV'S billiard ROOMS, and who Is the
champion professional DilllardlSt OF the
Northwest. played an exhibition game
in his rooms in West Superior on Thurs
day evening with Sampson, the amateur
champion of the Northwest Hatley
won 500 to 131 points in thirty-three in
uings. Hatley's highest run was Is
and Sampson's 81. Hatley reports that
a phenomenal game was recently played
on his bowling alleys. 1t sounds very
much like fairy tale, but Will is
not given to such things, so his
statement. at least until diSproved,
must be accepted as true. He says
that two bOWerS scored 800 points each,
and that it then required fifteen balls to
break the spell and give the victory to
one of the contestants. one made
fifteen straight strikes, he relates. and
the other fourteen. 1t is pretty safe to
add that this stands without Il parallel
in the entire country, and it naturally
leads to the conclusion that there must
be something very peculiar about Hat
ley's alleys. Again, it is safe to say that,
dollars to d0ughnuts, these same men
that gave this phenomenal performance
cannot come to st. Paul and score above
200 with any certainty. VIII says ne Is
a regular patron of the GLOBE because
of its sporting news.

with the mits, and Dan McAYoy, William
Sweeney and James Cox stand as his

members OF the PeniX Athletic club,
reads:

Zulu, to box me a ten-r0und glove con-
test for any amount from 500 to 1000 a

union of the old Red Cap base ball

which Will be present an entire lime,

'75. '76 when they sc00ped everything
before them, and starred under the rep
utation as one Of the strongest amateur
