Alleys Are High Rollers.

Alleys Are High Rollers.
The record made by John Gregory and
his partner Tingley in the preliminaries
in the duck pin tournament at the Ar
mory Hall alleys in Taunton on Tuesday
and yesterday is worthy of notice. These
two well known Pawtucket bowlers en-
tered the two men tournament and their
record SO far is remarkable.
During the past two days they have
bowled against 46 teams from all parts of
New England and came out second in the
preliminaries; this would indicate that
they stand good chance of winning the
prize offered. The Boston team beat them
for first place yesterday by 80 pins, but
they have the satisfaction Of knowing that
their chances for first place are exceedingly
good and that Tingley has made the high
est individual string in the trials and
stands an excellent chance to win the
prize offered for the highest average.
On Friday the team will go to Taunton
and roll the finals.

the Empire State Express, fguratively
speaking.
The second goal was won. on a swift
drive from the right side by Cunny. The
first goal won by Providence was on a
pretty drive by Cannavan, which passed
through Lation's territory before that
gentleman had chance to pay any par
ticular attention to it.
At this period the referee sounded his
whistle just before the Grays Gagged the
ball. Apparently the Tigers heard the
whistle and the Grays did not. At all
events the whistle provided for the referee
was a poor affair and could not be heard
for twenty feet. The ball was after q
slight discussion taken from the goal and
again put in play. Cunningham got pos
session of it and ran 1t the entire length of
the floor, scoring goal. The fourth goal
won by Pawtucket was on clever work by
Bone, ably seconded by the team. During
this period Menard held Writings stick
and one foul was scored against Providence.
AS the second period opened it was man
ifest to the spectators that the Grays had
lost heart in the game, while in the first
period every effort was resorted to, to make
goals, the game did not have the same
dash on the part of the visitors. In this
period Lations made very clever stop of
hot drive from Pierce and few seconds
later Pierce drove for goal successfully.
During this period the most rapid scoring
of the evenings play occurred, and was on
drive by Bone from the side in seconds.
The ball was taken away from Providence
time and again by Cunningham and the
Whiting brothers, and it was Fox Point
rooter that suggested to Canavan that a
little more morning practice would lie
necessary before the Grays appeared in
Pawtucket again. The game was delayed
at this point by the breaking of an elec-
trio light lamp. Just before the gong
struck McPeck came on and Canavan re-
tired.
'sWho ever heard of Providence" was
the remark that greeted the Garys when
tho third period opened, and second
later when Mul Smith hit Bone In the face
with his stick the same party advised Bone
toknock him down; fortunately this ad-
vice was not taken by Bone. At this stage
of the game the Grays became very wild
aid bothered each other In their efforts.
This was star inning for the Whiting
brothers. Will saved at least two goals
by clever defence and 1t was amusing to
see the Captain go after the ball, and the
inevitable result was that he always got 1t,
and apparently no three men in grey could
get it away from him. After making
clever pass to Bone, who drove success
fully for goal, Hobe left the floor and
Leydon came on, full of ginger. The last
goal was scored bone after a petty run
up the floor with the ball. The gong
struck and one of the most scientific
games of polo ever played in Pawtucket
was over. The summary:

very appreciatively and kindly refers
TO this writer in connection with the
editorial in The Messenger upon DR..
Shepherd, and after quoting a part,
adds this:
Such generous words must be very
gratifying to DR.. Shepherd. We should
like very much to see him honored by
his own state as he richly deserves.
North Carolina has been subjected to
the sneers of its enemies and the criti-
cisms OF its friends because il has suf-
fered so many OF its most eminent men
to seek employment for their talents in
other states"
II honoring the noble cholar and
gentleman, SO erudite. SO purely, alb
sorbingly literary. had been in the
power Of this writer DR.. Shepherd
would have been doing faithful work
in North Carolina long ago. Before
he went TO Charleston we pressed his
distinguished merits and accomplish
ments upon the people in more than
one earnest editorial. In Baltimore We
trust he will find the right place in
which TO manifest his high acquisition
and endowments. He is a Presbyte-
rian. What a ten-strike il would be
for Davidson college if such a scholar
could be secured. He would bring rare
gifts and fame to it and would reflect
ono upon the school.
