cessiul. Iron standards are placed at
the sides Of each alley, connected with
wires which run under the floor to bells
on the wall. One umpire covers two
alleys and has its own bell, while the
other two are presided over by another
with It's bell, which has q different
sound. This is done 80 that It will be
certain on what alley the foul was made:
The umpire" was used in the Nameless.
Brownies game last night and was en-
tirely satisfactory, doing away with the
old.time kicks at the umpires decision
on balls. The wire is about eighteen
inches from the floor, and whenever the
person of the bowler comes in contact
with 1t the bell rings and the ball de.
liyered is called foul. The Wheeling
Bowling League will probably al once
make the electrical device official, and
require them to be placed on all alleys
where championship games are played.

Games, but Were Hea.en.

Last evening at the Musee alleys two
very interesting games in the first series
Wheeling Bowling League champion
ship were played. tho contesting teams
being The Brownies and Nameless.
The games were important because The
Brownies are in the lead and two de-
feats would have created an interesting
fight between them and LaBelle, now in
second place. In the first game both
teams rolled away-up team scores.
NameIess was in the lead considerable
portion OF the contest, and the victory
OF The Brownies was due to the fine
work OF Kuglen and Ewing who both
finished out in the tenth frame with
strikes. The score:
The rownies-Hervey 149, Mcclure
142, De linden 1872, Robinson 143. kug.

To he Editor OF the In.lEioescer.
srR:-In my judgment it is very
necessary that Republicans should hold
fast to their experienced and useful
men in council. This is perhaps q
little more important for the Seventh
ward, under all the circumstances, than
for any other ward in the city. In Mr..
Maxwell this ward has business man
of high standing, and councilman Of
experience.
As member Of the important com.
mittees on finance and accounts Mr..
Maxwell has shown himself the right
man in the right place. Indeed 1t would
be difficult TO find more useful man II
the city were searched over. Without
disparaging the other good men who
have been suggested, I am one of very
many who hope to see Mr.. Maxwell re.
nominated by such a majority as shall
show that the Republicans OF the
Seventh ward appreciate his faithful
services. SEVENTH WARD.
