DEFEATED AT HOCKEY

The closing games for the week in the
Jersey City League were rolled last night
ON the Halliday street alleys, between the
Clio Wheelmen and Halliday teams, re-
sulting IN very a clever exhibition. The
teams rolled with lots of vim and pounded
out a game that created lots of enthus-
iasm. The Wheelmen were vigorous, and
their bowling was a great surprise to the
%rooters in Lafayette. The team rolled a
steady uphill game at the start, and got
to the front just at the proper time. The
Halladays held the lead on the second
and third frames, the Clos showing in
front in the first and fourth. Halliday
pounded down the most pins in the fifth,
and from that to the last frame was in
the lead. The windup was a lively one,
the Wheeimen getting in the most credits,
winning by SO pins. For the Clos Uni
and Heye We're on top. Steffeny led for
Halliday. The home bowlers introduced
a more effective game in the second and
led the Wheelmen a lively chase. The Hal
ladays rolled up a splendid average in the
opening frames and gained a lead over
their opponents the latter were unable to
overcome. winning by s. pms. The Halla-
days made their best record of the sea-
son. The scores were:-

worse than novices and the New Jerseys

for the shortcomings when away by de-
feating the visiting teams that bowl there.
The New Jerseys lave a strong repre-

the team reached a fine average in the
first two games, but in the third fell off,
but not enough to prove costly. After two
attempts the visiting team had their only
chance to win in the final game but were
not equal to it, and barely beat the 700

The advantage of practice favored the
New York team, which won. They were
unable, however, to put up a high score
and tailed only four goals. The New
Yorks played q fine game and the indi-
vidual work by Russell, Forrest and Short
was excellent. In the first half the New
Yorks introduced a fast game, which kept
the athletes on the defensive, the puck
being almost always in their territory.
In four minutes Russell drove a goal for
the home team and two minutes later, by
a good pass by Nelson, Forrest put the
second goal in. On a long drive, just
before time ended, Forrest made the third
goal. New Jersey put up a strong defence
in the final half and the New Yorks
scored only once. Short getting the fourth
goal. For New Jersey Walton, Folsom

International DusmbbcIl Tourna
nReOt.

What promises to be the greatest gym
nastic competition of the century is in
GUIDED in the programme of the New
Jersey Athletic Club at Madison Square
Garden on December II and is. The event
is a heavy dumb-ben contest and it will
decide who is the Individual all-around
heavy dumb-bell champion performer of
America. 1t is the first time a tourna-
ment of this kind and on such an extern
sive scale has been introduced here, and
naturally it is creating a furore in ath-
letic circles. Over 100 entries have already
been received, and a safe estimate is that
the number will easily reach the double
century mark before the entries close.
The list SO far includes representatives
from every country where gymnastics mas
at all found a foothoId. The German bell
tossers are slightly in the majority, but
there are strong c~ontingents from Switz-
erland, Austria, Italy, Sweden, Norway,
England, ireland, Scotland, Canada, and
a formidable brigade of native Americans.
The programme consists of ten sections.
Sections 1, 2, ), Z and 8 will be contested
on Friday night and the remaining sec
tons, 8, 4. 6, 8 and 10, will be decided on
Saturday night. Each competitor will be
ALLOWED three trials at each section, and
as each section has distinct and, separate
movements, the spectators win have an
unusual opportunity of judging for them
selves. The scoring, however, will be on
the basis of 10 points for first, 6 for second
and 2 for a third. 1t is compulsory that
each contestant furnish his own dumb
bells, but after being weighed by the Off
Gals, these may be used by any other
competitor if he so desires. The entries
close December IL with James e. Sullivan,
No. 24l Broadway, New York City.

Madame Sarah's chateau is a very prim-
tive affair; a plain, two-storied, oblong
building, with a parapet (once lined with
frowning guns). Some years ago it was a
genuine fort, occupied by forty men and a
few officers. There are Algerian sugges-
tions in the white stone wall and brown
brick facings of the edifice. In front of
the fort, which lies in a deep hollow near
the weather beaten, stormy Pointe des
Poulaine, stand, like twin sentinels. two
mighty porcelain storks. The waves rage
ceaselessly about the base of this strange
residence. Enormous powders, moulded
into the rough likeness of monsters grim
and horrible surround the house. No hu-
man habitations can be seen from any
corner of the building, with the exception
of a melancholy lighthouse and a small
cottage owned by the rustic of whom
