NATIONAL BOWLING LEAGUE
A Scheme For Playing Match Games In
the Principal Cities.


X. Mather Archer of Wheeling W
Va, is behind scheme to organize a
national bowling league, 10 take III all
the principal cities of the United States
His plan is as follows
Form team of six regular players
and four or six substitutes from whom
to draw in the event of the absence Of
any Of the regular players, one team
to be formed in each city holding a
league franchise. Adopt schedule like
those that govern the usual local bowl.
ing league and have each team play
each week a series of two or three
games against another league team. as
per schedule But there would be o
difference. Suppose, for instance. Wheel
ing and Chicago Were playing Instead
of meeting on the same alleys the clubs
would play OH alleys III their own cities
designated by the league. Officials
named by the league would see that the
games were played honestly. The score
would be wired TO all the cities i'll the
league. so the result of the previous
nights games would be known when
the morning papers were issued Or
the score might be wired to opposing
clubs Immediately after each game
This. of course, would add to the ex-
element. The team making the better
score in each game would win that
game The season would continue as long
as considered desirable. By assessing
each club trophy or pennant could be
purchased to 60 to the club winning the
national championship. Mr. Archer
hopes to have a meeting called in one Of
the eastern cities soon.

of government business as nearly as pos
sibe to that of successful private bust
ness.
MY whole contention is that the method
now In vogue, the present system of the
civil service, Is great deal better than
the old system. That there are defects in
it, that there have been wrong classified
tons. 1 am perfectly aware from the in
vestigations made by the committee on
civil service. of which 1 am member.
Those errors can all be cured by an execu-
tive order. There Is no need to legislate
on them. They should be left to the Presi-
dent to deal with.
II believe also. in regard to the census,
that the best opinion Of the experts. with
all the figures and detailed examination OF

marks and to which 1 invite attention.
point to the fact that 1t is in the interest
of the public service to take the most OF
the routine offices out of the hands of the
director or rather not take them out OF
his hands, but let him select his subordi-
mates from the eligible list and save HIM
self from the political pressure and the
labor imposed by dispensing political pa
tronage."

The Well-KnOwn EnHlish Oarsmnn
Meets Yale md Harvard Graduates.
A subscription dinner was given at the
Metropolitan Club last evening in honor OF
Mr.. r. c. Lehman, the English coach Of
the Harvard oarsmen, and Mr.. 7. E. Phil
lips Of Oxford, England. Every branch Of
the government service was represented at
the dinner by the following named guests.
every one of whom is Yale or Harvard
man either by graduation or by honorary
degree: Secretary Long, Mr.. Justice Brew
er, Mr.. Justice Brown, Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt, Senator Lodge. Senator Wolcott,
Senator Wetmore. Maj. Gen. Miles. Col.
Bingham, Capt. Wood. Solicitor General
Richards Mr.. Jonn Addison Porter, Repre-
sentative Simpkins, Representative Moody,
Representative Foss, Representative Bull,
Representative Dalzell. Representative
Fowler and Representative Littauer.
The object Of the banquet was to pay
tribute to Mr.. Lehman and to the preser-
walton Of pure athletics in England and
America. The idea of the banquet was cum
ceived by Mr.. Roosevelt. assistant secrc-
tary of the navy; Mr.. Porter and Capt.
Wood, U. 8. A.
Among the guests was Bob Cook. Yale's
well-known coach. After dinner the Yale

American people care enough about boat
ing to support such an event. and by this
l mean to support it to the extent Of max
Ing 1t great national event. and at the
same time a social success. and this is what
is meant by Henley. There is no doubt it
is quite possible to get a great number of
boats together and have races, but the
event will not be Henley.
"A Henley might be started, but the be-
ginning should spring from natural growth
and desire on the part Of the contest
ants to compete with each other for the
entertainment of their friends, and not
with the idea of making it a spectacular
event. but IL the idea should widen and
broaden under a more careful scrutiny.
excluding everything of a professional
character and combining the regatta strictly
to the highest type of amateur contestants,
it might then flavor strongly of an English
Henley and if such regatta should once
become established there Is no saying what
the limit would be. But while all these
conjectures are possible, they do not seem
probable, for there seems to be no demand
for an American Henley"

COOK ON AN "AMERiCAN HENLEY
1t Should Mean More Than Lot OF
Boats md Races.


Boats and Races.
Bob Cook, the old Yale oarsman, who
has coached the Yale crews since gradua-
ton. and who was a prominent guest at
the dinner to Mr.. Lehman last evening,
recently said. regarding the movement for
an American Henley:
New London has the ideal climate, but
the river is not suited for a little aquatic
garden party like Henley. There would be
too great a distance between the boats and
the onlookers, who must remain stationary
along the banks, as observation trains
could not be handled for an event of this
kind as for single varsity race. Boats
could not follow the races. because they
would keep the stream continuously stirred
up. I know of no other American course
that is like the Schuylkill in this respect.
But as regards the practical side of such
regatta that Is a large question. In the
first place, there Is no close social relations
between American boat clubs such as that
which exists in England. Then, too. our
clubs are widely separated. and this means
heavy travelling expenses to poor organiza-
tons composed Of men Of moderate means.
who have neither time nor money to spare
for a week Of boating! Finally, there is the
question whether an American Henley IS
wanted. Personally921I do not believe the

The game drew one of the largest crowds

CLEVELAND, o., Dec. 22.--The jour
neyman plumbers of this city will go
on strike January /, and the fight
between them and the master plumbers
promises to be long and bitter. This
years contract provides that no
helpers or apprentices be employed,
thus giving employment to
more plumbers and tending to
reduce the future number,
thus raising wages. The journeymen
demand that on January the master
plumbers sign a five years contract TO
the same effect The masters not only
refuse to do this. but declare that here
after they will employ all the helpers
they want. Both sides are preparing
for the struggle.

Good steamboating Fifty Years Ago

Soou ACCOMMODATING flrty Years ago.
In 1s47 we had as fine a line of steam
boats running from Cincinnati to Pitts
burg as ever navigated the Ohio River,
amongst which l remem Der the Hiber-
MIA, Brilliant, New England, Isaac
Newton, Messenger and others, enough
to have boat every day in the week.
There were no Government lights TO
guide the pilots in those days, no
signals for passing; yet those old pilots,
many of whom had been keelboatmen,
would on the darkest nights meet and
pass in the narrowest parts of the
river, passing SO c ose as TO almost
touch each other, without signal Of
any kind. They ran by rule, the up

not arrive for some six or seven hours
after she was due. 1t was learned
after she came in that she had caught
fire in the hold, which was discovered
about Long Bottom. When the hatch
was taken up to get out some freight
the flames burst out of the hold; the
hatch was closed and the boat run oyer
