medal, consisting Of the club emblem,

than any other player in the tournament
A special prize a fine regulation ten-pin
ball and bag, has been donated by Mr.. Re-
mus F. Foster. to be awarded to the bowler
making the greatest number of spares in
the tournament.
George f. Kicker and H. B. Mason are
tied for this latter prize, each having fifty
five spares to his credit. and it Is agreed
that these players bowl six more games
and the one making the most spares in
such extra games be declared the winner
but in case there is still a tie at the end
of the sixth game play will Immediately
continue until the winning spare is scored
in an equal number of games.
These games will be bowled next Wednes-
day evening, and such a contest will be
unique and of great interest, for tits a
well-known fact in bowling that in the
making of strikes there is an element of
chance or luck and that the true test of
scientific bowler is in his ability to get
his spares" and to start out as will be
the object in this contest, with the DELHI
crate intention to play for spares only will
be a decided novelty. The result is sure
to prove interesting as an object lesson
for the purpose of comparison, aside from
the fine chance thus afforded to show skill
in welding the wooden sphere AS a
matter of additional interest to this match,
Jores and Perry. who are also tied for the
next highest number of spares 06fty-two)
made in the tournament, will play run
ming mates" to Kicker and Mason, and
bowl for the same results.

Can Run on a Foul Tin Caught,
President Young has given a decision on
a point that promised to cause considerable
wrangling during the coming season. The
question was whether base runner could
run on a foul tip caught inside the ten-foot
line, which under the new rule Is strike
President Young has decided that the run
ner can steal base on such strike Chief
Of Umpires Wright had previously decided
in just the opposite way.
OF course. it follows that if the foul tip is
mu1ed 1t loses its character as strike,
and the base runner will be compelled to
return to his base. This will give an op-
portunity to catch for some fine work. That
Mr.. Wright'S decree is not generally ac-
ceptable is shown by the fact that Presi-
dent Hart of Chicago wired an objection
to Mr.. Wright's Interpretation, and insisted
that the play should operate in every way
mere strike.
