the eighth frame was completed
WEights boys were three pins ahead.
The excitement At this stage OF the con-
test was intense. When the ninth
frame was over The Brownies had
wrested the lead from La Belle. but 1t
was only the matter Of q pin Or two, so
that everything depended on the finish
in tue final frame, the tenth. Both
teams did good WORK, though everybody
was nervous and excited to high de-
gree. Some Of the boys who were quick
with the figures yelled out:
ia Bellies got it sure. She can't
lose"
just as the words we're out, Wells,
who was bowling on q spare, put the
ball down the alley like a cannon shot
and all the pins went down.
slows that tor foul?" cried one OF
The Brownies.
"Ies foul. Put the pins up" quietly
remarked Umpire Ebeling.
Well, that took the starch out OF La
Belle-a loss of at least twenty pins.
Still, they had chance. Everybody
had rolled except "Jack" Wright, who
managed TO score neat spare In the
tenth. One OF his club mates who had
been closely watching the score board,
yelled out that nine pins would tie and
ten win the game. Wright put the big
ball down straight as die; eight pins
tumbled down, the other two wobbled

Last evening the Mozart and Knoke
teams Of the South Side Bowling
League played two championship games
at the Mozart park alleys. The latter
team won both games, the frat with
ease, but the second was close and
interesting. The two Knoke victories
make it incumbent on South Side TO
win two games this afternoon or re.
linquish the lead to Knoke's men. In
case OF saw-otf this afternoon the
South Side and Knoke teams will be

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-The Virginia
Jockey Club has finally decided to con-
tinue the races throughout December

necessitates breaking away from the
National Jockey Club, whose recent re-

doubtless result in tho resignation OF
Starter Rowe and several other officials.

tically unchanged. 1t is asserted that
95 per cent OF the stable owners now

THEY WE'RE EXCITING.
LaBelles Lose Two Games to The brownies
by Remarkably Close Sooros-0ne Game


On two or three occasions this season
there have been close and exciting
bowling games in the course OF the
very exciting battle for the champion
ship in the Wheeling Bowling League.
but By long odds the pair OF games be-
tween The Brownies and LaBelle-the
two being tied for the lead-at the
Musee alleys last night were the finest
ever seen in Wheeling. In the first
game the team scores were not unusual
" large, and it was evident that the
PLAYERS OF both clubs were suffering
from "stage fright" In the second,
however, better rolling was tho rule.
and the lead by frames alternated from
one club to the other, LaBelle finally
being beaten by one pin. The Brownies
won the first contest by margin OF
only Eve pins.
The two games attracted lots OF inter-
est; the alley side was crowded and
many were unable to get inside to wit.

1t is not generally known that
there are some crabs that actually
dress themselves Some species ar
ray themselves deliberately by gath
ering bits OF seaweeds, chewing the
en- is. and sticking them on the she'll,
so thatthey look like stones covered
with weed. They spend hours, with
the utmost perseverance,, in making
these pieces adhere, by trying the
same piece over and over again until
they succeed. These crabs have a
fine sense of symmetry, too. and
always put red piece on one limb
to match the red piece on the other,
and green piece to match a green
piece, though how they know red
from green in the dark pools where
they live it is hard to say, unless it
is by taste or smell. When once
their dress is COMPLETED, it improves

actually grows on them.

ATHENS, Sept. 21.--A most daring
outrage on the part of Greek brigands
is reported from LAMA, near Che
Turkish frontier and at the head OF
the Gulf Of yolo. The procureur de
roi, Judge and two secretaries, were
returning in carriage, accompanied
by two gendarmes, from villages where
they had been collecting information
in regard to Brigandage. When the
party arrived within half an hours
drive of Lamia, they were surrounded
by Pakaky Iiitsopulos band, who car
ried off the prooureur and the judge,
taking them to their stronghold on
Mount Orthis. Later, the prisoners
were allowed to send word to their
friends that the brigands demanded
that no pursuit be made until ran
som was paid. A detachment of 100
soldiers was sent to attack the bri-
gands and in the fight which followed
the brigands were exterminated, but
the procureur de roi was killed and
the judge MORALLY wounded. The
Judge died soon after the fight.
