With the Senators down in Charleston the
average local crank has really nothing to en-
liven him. Last year the home team was
here and the sincere admirer of the national
game wended his way 10 National Park to
see the youngsters prance around to the
fancy of Messrs. Wagner and Schmelz.
In another week every Northern League
club will be in the South. and with those al
ready there the land of Dixie will be peopled
by a merry set Of ball players. OF course,
they will condition themselves for hard
campaign. and it is to be hoped that the Sem
ators will be- much benefited by their South

CARROLL BOWLING TEAM.
Portraits and Sketches of the Men Who
Won Victory.

The members OF the Carroll Institute
had No opportunity of bowling on regula-
ton alleys until it took possession of it's
present magnificent home III January,
1898. Before that time the bowlers OF
the institute had to satisfy themselves
with bowling in short alleys about town,
and when the work Of alleys sixty feet
long began, it was like learning all over.
BY persistent and patient effort they
soon learned the knack, and it was only a
short while thereafter that the organiza-
ton had in its membership some OF the
crack bowlers of the city.
When the District Bowling League was
organized The c. i. hecame members OF il
and soon became strong factors in it.
The team won the championship OF tn @
District for the season of 1898 and 1894,
and for the second time victory again
perched on their hammer. afad the Carroll s
are the present champions of the District,

Al Schulteis became member OF the in
stitute on May "a, 1881. He began as
bowler on the regulation alleys when the
new building was completed in January,
1898. He did not compete actively until
1894, when he won place on the team
and was elected its captain, and to his
efforts in many ways is due the teams
success.
He and Jake Jones, Of c. A. c., are the
only bowlers here who use the index finger

Word from Charleston is to the effect that
the members of the--home team are doing
well. One or two are suffering slightly with
the change of climate. but assurances are
given that the ailment is only slight. They
are gradually being limbered up in practice,
and Mr.. Schmelz is watching over his sub
iects with much consideration. Cartwright
has already become agile and Crooks is re-
ported as frIsky as verdant youth.
Krumm, Anderson, and Collins seem TO be
a little new. but are gradually getting down
to friendly relation with The other mem
bers OF the team. The first named is already
bronzed and the spark of vigorous youth has
shown itself on Mercer's cheeks .Slocksdale
is reported as looking a little Hercules and
old Holiday Mac" is striving to keep lace
with his younger associates. Maliarkey and
Boyd are slowly training. The former is al
ready in hnc condition. Little CoOgan is
popular and has made many friends by his
happy ways.
The iniield is composed of Cartwright on
first: Nicholson on second; Houseman at
short. and Crooks on third. In the language
of Manager Schmelz they are doing beauti-
fully together" He adds that Coogan is an
earnest worker and will be d success.

A. F. Rice and Jake Jones, C. A. C. ar
ranged the first interclub match games in
1893, and this led to the formation of the
league. In twenty-four games last year he
came out sixth. and this year fourth on his
team and fourteenth i'll the league, with an
average of 145 7S.
He is a strong. steady bowler with

win many a game away from home. He
became member OF the C. l. on December
% 1892
The Washington times., 1895-03-10

B. F. Locraft was the crack bowler OF
the league and one of the most modest in
it, He became member of the Q. /. on
March "a, 1892. He rolls straight bah
with a twist and is a scientific and accu-
rate bowler.
He was fourth last year, with twenty
one games, and this year finished first in
his team and second in the league, in
forty-eight games, with high game of 26O
and average OF 156 1-2. He won the

Charles F. Locraft won place as a
regular" On the team this season, but
becoming stale early in the series he
dropped out and remained only as a sub
stitute. He would have been a valuable
man on the regular team.
In 1893 he bowled first on the second
team, and then as regular, finishing
fifth. His game of 214 was next to the
highest game last year, Doree, C. A. c.,
having 217. He bowled in seven games
only, but did good work. He rolls an
effective center ball.

The mysterious case of W. Tobin's horse,
Reiff, which was stolen from its stable on
tue night of February rs still remains un-
solved There is every reason to believe
that the thief is the same man who got
away with George Tesh's W Il. at jerome
Park the first part of last January.
W c. Yource, who has string at st.
Asaphs, was wintering at jerome Park at
the time and the night before W b. was
taken he saw a man loafing around the
stables. The man said then that he was
reporter and was looking for Mike Cole
man.
YouTee says he saw the same man at st.
,Asaph' S the day before Reiff was taken and
has not seen him since The man this time
looked more like a countTyman than any
thing else, and was again asking Tor Cole
man.

Ex-senator Charlie Farrell and Pitcher
German. OF the New Yorks, have been pam
ther-hunting in Florida, aud the following
extract of the thrilling tale will be read with
interest:
Charlie Farrell and Lester German had
an exciting encrunter with big female pan
ther Saturday. The catcher and pitcher
started out bird-hunting. and were about two
and one-haf miles from Jacksonville when
they saw an object moving about in the high
grass. Farrell went to investigate, but as he
neared the spot he discovered the panther.
He called German, and the latter shot at the
beast. The first shot did not kill it. and with
howl of rage the animal started for the
men. second shot, however. dropped her
dead in her tracks The men are going to
have the animal skinned and keep the hide
as a mascot

1t is certainly amusing to note the alleged
interviews with the so-called magnates of the
League. Nearly every one apparently Is pro-
testing against the schedule. 1t seems that
it was adapted in a siSht-unsesn way, upon
motion Of Mr.. Abel, of the Brooklyns. II is
alleged that he saw the little rabulated affair
and assumed to be magnanimous in moving
its adoption. Now the howl of some of the
Western contingent is more vigorous than the
averaged rooters at a game OF bail.
II appears after careful analysis that q
complete change has been made. Hereto
fore the Western clubs played in the East on
certain Of the holidays, and the Eastern
teams vice versa. Now the eastern mines
will share all the holidays among themselves
and the Western end will do likewise. This
is thorough reversal of former practices,
and the Western magnates are red-headed
over the manner in which they now say they
have been hoodwinked.
The Washington times., 1895-03-10

The author of the schedule ought to be
congratu lated upon the manner in which he
arranged it. There can be no particular
argument advanced why it should not be
compiled in the manner in which it was
adopted. Just such scheme is needed in
order to demonstrate whether there is more
rivalry on a holiday between two Eastern
clubs than there is when Western team is
the opponent Likewise as to the Western
clubs playing among themselves on such
days.
Naturally, the space writers among the
cranks in the West will endeavor to make a
double play when there is only one chance
offered by asserting that the East is trying
to get the best of the Wild and woolly West.
| This is hardly fair, since whenever financial
assistance was needed the same club in this
neck O woods would always contribute a
| large proportion of the sum needed.
The deal the magnates gave Fred Pfeffer is
being discussed on all sides. Listen 10 Won
der Abe: Il wanted Pfefer reinstated uncon-
ditionally if he was proven innocent. If
guilty, ! wanted him expelled. lie was not
guilty. The fine is an anomalous outrage.

90 on record as unalterably antacOuisTic to
such miscarriage of Justice | did not in
tend to speak OF this matter. but Mr.. Kerr has
set me good example that l am glad TO fol-
low. We will remain in the League this
year, but if things do not change for the bet
ter next year will see a revolt II will be led.
not by the players or managers, but by the
magnates themselves.
II am g Iad the people have at last dis
covered the methods OF the Brush-Byrne
clan. Jim Hart did his level best for pure
justice. but Byrne, Brush. and Freedman
were too much for him. The last-Eamed
individual was newcomer and was led
astray by the professional politicians and
disturbers.
Mr.. Buckenberger indorsed the sentiments
of Mr. Won der Abe. There can be no doubt
that the deal whereby Brooklyn tried to
''eon' Louisville into trading Pfeffer was
the most disreputabIs transaction ever at
tempted in baseball history. The prescience
and high character of the Louisville people
is the only thing which prevented its perpe-
tration.

THREE SENATOR'S THIS
YEAR.
Why the TMrty-Third District
Gets an Increase.

The Senatorial district composing
the counties OF Lucas, Wood, Fulton,
Hancock, Pntnam and Henry, will
this year elect three Senators.
As this event only occurs once in
ten years some explanation should be
made OF the reasons governing it.
Uunder the terms OF the eonstitu-
tion the number of Senators is de-
cided by dividing the total popula-
tion by 80. 1t is further provided by
the constitution that the number Of
Senators shall never be less than one
third nor more than one-half of the
number Of Representatives.
When the constitution was drafted
this district received the number it
still bears, the thirty-third, and to-
gether with all the other districts,
except the First, was allowed one
Senator. The First district was al
lowed three.
Subsequent decennial apportion-
ments raised the quota OF this dis
trict to two and by the last appor-
tionment the population is somewhat
greater than is required for two Sena-
tors but not quite sufficient for three.
Each fifth term, therefore, the
Thirty-third district elects three Sena-
tors, which gives us a representation
in fact proportionable to the popula-
tion Of the district.

THEY are to have a constitutional
test of a law in the state of Ohio, also
two men who have been defeated by
women for the school committee in
one of its cities have appealed to the
court to protect them from their ca
lamity. The best thing for man to
do when he is beaten by woman is
to stay beaten. If resort to the con-
stitution is to be had in the case, he
would much better let some other
person raise the point. 1t may not
be strictly within the bounds of a
constitution to elect women to the
school committees in Ohio, but the
public interests are not likely to suff-
er while they hold such places, especi-
ally when the alternative is the sub
stitution of men who endeavor to
crowd into these offices in an unman-
ly way. We should look for judges,
with such q case before them, who
would have something more than the
sympathies of gallantry in deciding
it.--Boston Herald.
