DEFEATED BY ELIZABETH

At the Catholic Club alleys last night
one Of the largest crowd that has wit
messed a bowling game in this city his
season gathered to- witness the postponed
game between the Palma Club and the
Catholic Club bowlers. It was in the
Amateur Bowling Association, and the
rivalry between the teams was expe-
rienced by h r~ootefs, and taking sides
on the alleys the players were cheered at
every good play, and excitement was at
fever heat whilo the struggle was ON. The
PalnIas were confident they could defeat
the Catholic club and made q gallant eff
fort to succeed. 1t would have been the
first defeat since the championship began,
and the Palmas felt they were destined to
hold a trump card in the championship
race. They enlisted the services of every
member at the club, and their presence
served to encourage the bowlers, and for
a time the home bowlers were guessing to
find where they were at. The team failed
to put up the game anticipated and were
off In their spare bowling. Palma did
good work at the start. but fell off in the
latter part of the game. or the home team
would have met their first loss. AS it was
they only won by 60 pins, with a score
over 100 pins below the totals made in the
other games. Better work mus be done
at home in order for the Catholic Club
bowlers to hold the teams yet to bowl
there. In the first frame the Catholic
Club led by 81 pins. This faded away on
the second, and Palma came down the
line with a lead of two. They continued
to hold the keystone on the third, and
again the G. c. was on the little end. The
fourth gave them a chance, and the team
pulled out q little, and were in the front
by IL pins. Close work continued ON the
fifth. and the first half Of the game closed
with the victory within reach of either
team. The Catholic Club began the finish
with better luck, and on thessixth frame
had their biggest margin. They continued
to hold it on each succeeding frame, and
pounded out a victory on the wind-up by
So pins. There was an absence of high
scores on the home team. None of the
figures extending beyond the no block.
Charles Cathcart was the leader. The
best record Of the evening was made by

HOW THEY SUCCEEDED


How many people we meet. these days
who complain of tired, worn out feelings
and seem to be very much under the
weather. There seems to he an epidemic
of iH-health and an unusually large num-
Der Of people are feeling and looking weak
and sickly- But there is fortunately a
way to overcome these miserable feelings
and regain lost health and strength.
Thousands Of people lave discovered this
way and many of them are giving others
the benefit Of their experience. Here is an
interesting opinion on the subject
Mr.. q. B. Toale, Of 1872 De Kalb avenue,
Brooklyn, says: Tn the spring and sum
mer | was formerly a constant sufferer
from weakness and Dervous debility. I
lief until I began taking Duffy's Pure Malt
tried many remedies but obtained 40 re-
lief until j began taking Duffy's Pure
Malt Whiskey. Since / commenced using
it, my friends are astonished at my inn
proved appearance
The above opinion has been selected
from thousands Of others, all testifying
to the same effect. 1t proves beyond any
question that for building up the weak
weary people Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey
is simply unequaled. 1t purifies the blood,
Qulckens the CIRCULATION, promotes diges-
Ron, cures constipation. and gives new
life to every part Of the body. All grocers
and druggists keep Duffy's Pure Malt,
but in purchasing, care should be taken
TO guard against inferior limitations.

There is no more doubt that a change

a confession of for Hudson
County to ask for assistance to get rid of
him.
That county should be able to turn
him dow by defeating any man whom
he is known to favor upon the ground
that a man is known by the company
he Keeps, political or otherwise. More
practical, and likely to meet with more
favor, therefore. is the proposed revival
of the former Jury Commission system.
This law deprived the sheriff of the
power to draw Grand Juries, which
would relieve Mr.. Davis sheriff of a
duty which it is doubtless Mr.. Davis

to be the case is one of the sources
of strength which enable Mr.. Davis to

formerly made to walk the plank.

The Clio wheelmen rolled two games last
night at home in the New Jersey Asso-
ciated Cyclers League with the Tourist
Cyclers of Paterson, at Heye's alleys, and
the best they could do was to break
even. 1t was a great disappointment to
the members of the local club The
had expected great things from their
team of stars. but this has not been
realized, and the addition of Duk and
Buchtenkirk to the team has not inn
proved its chances for success as yet.
In four games rolled at home alleys Clio
was successful only once They will
hardly reach the top and will have to do
better work to get out Of last place. The
scores last night were all below the
average and the Tourists We're the ones
to make the best total. There was a
large crowd present. The Clos have met
two of the strongest teams in the league
and should have smooth sailing after
this, but If their game at home is a cri-
terion the Clos will hardly reach high
averages away. In the first game the
Cios held the lead for five frames. On
the sixth steady rolling by Tourist gave
them a lead of nine. 1t was even work
on the seventh and the advantage re-
manned. Clio cut loose in the eighth and
had % pins the best of it. Tourist cut
this down to 9 on the ninth and the
finish was very exciting, Clio winning
by 8 pins. Heye helped along the success
with 1874. Cowan made 1888 for Tourist,
The second game gave the Paterson team
the lead for three frames. The margin
favored the Clos by 7 pins on the fourth.
They pounded away in the fifth and sixth
and led their opponents. The Tourists got
nearer in the seventh and on the next
frame the visitors forged ahead and Lead

sportant Changes Anticipated.


President Young is greatly pleased with
the baseball season lust closed. He said
to Times representative that never be-
fore In the history of the game has the
general interest in baseball been so great
as during the season just closing.
The interest, he said, is rapidly growing
all over The country, and, while steadily
growing in the big cities, has increased SO
in the smaller cities and towns that the
attendance aC minor league games far
excels previous years. But for the taco OF
this being Presidential year, the crowds
would have been even larger.
The National League, Mr.. Young said,
Is in good shape for a bright and succe ssful
start In the spring, and this IL also true of
the minor leagues, and he knew of nothing
thatcouldprevcntthe year 1897 from being
a very prosperous one for baseball. The
contract season closes October /, then
there are three open oates after the sched-
ule season, which will be utilized in play
ing off postponed games.
The Baltimore ana Cleveland clubs will
play three games for the Temple Cup In
Baltimore next Thursday, Friday and Sat
urday. Anof the clubs, Mr. Young said, had
done well financially. The greatest fall
Ing off in patronage was probably in Phil
adelphia, and yet the attendance there was
very large.
The changes in the personnel of the clubs,
Mr. Young thought, would be compare
lively few and uniniportant. Washington
would make only one change SO far as he
knew.
