BROOKLYN WON TIE SERIES.
The Two Teams Broke Even in Last
Nights Games,
But Wheeling Won the Three Men
Series in the Afternoon Without
Any TrOuble-An Exciting Finish
Last Night-Large Crowds Pres
ent in the Afternoon and Evening.

As predicted in the Register yester-
day morning, the very high opinion
which Manager Sam Karpf has Of the
playing ability Of his Brooklyn pets
cost him a pretty penny. A wager Of
500 was made with Col, z. NJ. Statler
for a series of best two in three games
by three men teams. which took place
in the afternoon, and resulted in a
very easy victory for the local bowlers.
There were good sized crowds in at
tendance both afternoon and evening
The final games of the series Of seven
were played last night. Brooklyn took
the first and last, giving them four out
Of seven. Had this city been represent
ed by a strong club on the first night,
Wheeling would have had five victories
in seven games
The result of the meeting between
representatives of the two cities is very
gratifying to local lovers Of this form
OF sport. The Wheeling boys have
shown conclusively that they are able
to cope with the best players in the
country. Manager Karpf came here
with a representative team, and with
the determination TO lose no games in
Wheeling. He leaves this morning
with a much better impression OF the
Wheeling bowlers. The Eastern cracks
have not had a tougher argument since
they left home than they were given
Yesterday. Although the visitors won
the odd game in the series, and the
eight men contest, the local players
fairly divided honOrs with them.
The Brooklyn boys are good fellows.
with an that term implies. They all
expressed themselves yesterday as par
Jicularly we'll pleased with their treat
ment i'm this city and said without
hesitation that Wheeling has better
bowlers than Buffalo or Rochester One
fact which impressed them very favor
ably was the impartial manner IN which
the Wheeling "rOoters' applauded good
PLAYS on both sides Manager KarpL
before departing, expressed to Regis
ter reporter the hope that he may soma
time again bring his players to this city
for a series of games.
BROOKLYN SWIPED.
There was a good attendance in the
afternoon. with fair sprinkling OF
ladies' in the audience. Several contests
took place. and the Wheeling boys COW
ereI themselves an inch deep with glory.
As a matter of course, the interest cen
tered in the match series for purse
$500. in which the local trio had a very
easy thing without taking the handicap
of 80 pins into consideration. They
demonstrated cOnclusively, that on the
AIusee alleys at least, Wheeling is more
than a match for the Eastern cracks.
Their showing in the eight men contest
was hardly up to the standard, while
the Brooklyn boys did very clever work.
The eight men contest was the first
event ON the matinee card il was about
am even thing for the first TWO or three
frames Then Brooklyn gained a
slight advantage. which was materially
increased as the contest progressed.
Wheeling lost by 154 pins Thyme and
Pauls0n led i'm individual work with
/ O'NeH a close third. The tabulated
score follows. The E column indicates
errors. and is copied from the modern
method Of scoring in the East. An err
rOr is a missed spare. If the pins are
split. the player is not charged with
an error but a break.
