AMONG The BOV|eIS.
The Tournament Is Drawing 10
A Close
A Bowler Contributes a Batch OF
Interesting News And Gossip Of
The Games And Players.

Every club in the San Antonio
Boiling league has now played "a
games. Four games are yet to be
played by each club and then the sea-
son of '97, which began September 10,
will have come to an end. Up to
date not the slightest friction in pull
ing off games has occurred; not a
single game has been forfeited, nor
have any been protested. Consequent
ly the trustees have had little to do.
EVERY team has had it's rival or some
clue which it would rather have con-
quered than another. But with all
this the best of fellowship and good
feeling has been maintained through
out the race for the cup. 1t was al
ways outsiders or some one not con-
nected with any team that generally
caused the little hard feeling that
springs up occasionally, but even this
did not amount to much.
The Government Hills will play the
remaining four games with the Athlet-
les; the Ivys will tackle the Casinos;
the Alamos play the Turner's, and the
Missions play their last four games
with the Hayseeds. The season clos
es December II. The only postponed
games were tIose scheduled for Oc-
tober 10, between the Alamos and
Missions. These, however, were play
ed November 10 on the Mission alley.
AS far as the winning of the cup is
concerned, the Casinos have this
cinched. Should they lose every
game, which they are booked to play,
they would still lead by a good mar

10 establish a record breaker, and
Capt. Guenther will no doubt try his
best to win every game if possible.
Prior to the last four games the race
was a pretty one, especially between
the Casinos and Missions, and the
predictions made in the early part of
the season that one of these clubs
would be the winner has now come
true. While all the other clubs lex
cept the Government Hills changed
places in the percentage column. most
every week these two clubs stuck
closely together at the top of the lad
der. First one led, then the other. IN
til finally the Casinos forged ahead
by two games. The Missions had bnt
one chance TO win out, and that was
TO beat the champs, but in this they
failed, and thereby hangs a tale. It
was case of Richmond VS.. Richmond
and Richmond won.
The trophy for this yeaH is a beau
tiful silver cup. 1t has just arrived
from an eastern manufacturer and is
now exhibited in Alex Sartor's show
window on Commerce street. The cup
cost in the neighborhood of one hun
dred dollars and is a fine piece of
Workmanship. The cup proper rests
ON three large silver pins and these
stand in triangle on a large oxi-
died silver pedestal. Altogether the
trophy is beauty and the yictors

CORNER PICKING

| The trustees will meet at Mission
garden this morning to transact rou
tine business.
A twelve is very seldom made when
a pin is still up behind the king. II
] was recently made by Geo. Koerner
| on the Turner alley. Henry Dukes
also made a twelve on Muth's alley
by getting the corner and rear pins
with one shot.
In the Mission Casino games no one
bowled better than AID. Schenck.
Just after the jolly drummer had
made two good picks ON corners some
one in the crowd shouted, That's the
only good thing Austin ever turntd
out"
Ed. oeng says this is positively the
last season of league bowling for him
Following are the number of pins
made thus far this season: Missions,
6,S06; Casinos, 6,771; Hayseeds, GAS;
Alamos, 6,32S; Turner'S, 6,312; Athlet-
les, 6,167; Ivys, 6,0S9; Government
Hills, 5,365. A. BOWLER,
Alderman Duerler, Mr.. Chas. Hugo
and Capt. L. Bosch We're interested
spectators at the Casino-Mission
game.
Emil Kuehn has bowled for over
twenty years. He ought to know
thing or two about the game. He is
one of the Missions old standbys.
Capt. Anton Gloeckner, Lieut.. Frank
Gloeckner and Privates Derr and
Mueller generally put up bold front.
Ed Podewils says, Eve came near
winning the pennant this year." But
that's not quite near enough Ed.
The umpires for the past week were
Will Eberhardt, Alex Fues, Ad. Gle
secke and Ad. Wehrhahn. No dis
putes arose and they all had an easy
time of it.
The Beethoven Society ought to be
represented in the next tournament.
Fred Mueller will probably try to get
up team there next year.
1t is not always expected that the
captain should do the best bowling,
but Capt. Brian has certainly done
his share of good picking so far.
Harry TOlle has more than done his
share of good work for the Athletics. Il

Tramps and Road-Making.
Philadelphia Press.


We do not often look South for model
legislation, but North Carolina has a road
law which has the merit Of solving three
important problems at once. The law pro-
vides that petty misdemeanants shall be
employed in public road-makng. This
gives the convicts work, always a desir-
able thing, and the employment Is of such
a character that ii does not conflict with
free labor, since if the convicts did not i'm
prove the roads they would not be i'm
proved at all. Under the operation of the
law the roads of the State are steadily be-
ing converted from mud to macadamized
highways.
The roads around the capital city.
Raleigh have been macadamized by these
convicts at little expense to the State and
to the unreasonable benefit of the coun-
try round about. Two good things are
achieved at once: The convicts are en-
ployed and the roads are improved at the
Feast possible trouble and cost. The third
great benefit realized grows out of the fact
that in North Carolina they treat the
tramp as q sturdy vagrant and a misde-
nneanant. When caught he is promptly SEN
fenced to servo out a term at roadmak-
ing. 1t cannot be said that he makes
many roads in North Carolina; neither does
he walk upon them very much after they
are made. The liability 10 arrest and sen
tence to road-making Is enough to keep
Dusty ROADS and his fellows out OF the
State of Meth Carolina. 1t is a hardship
on the fraternity. Formerly a very large
proportion Of the tramps of this section Of
