BOWLING.


The All-wheeling bowling team and
contingent OF "sootera" are In Co
,,mbu,. and this afternoon aad to-
night the team opens up the Wheeling
columbus match for $3.50 a side. Inc
,srss. in Columbus Is at feyer.heat, and
me Collin alleys win no doubt be
hacked. Luck seems to be with the
Wheellngs, for Joseplly, the crack Co.
,nmbus player. has been partially In
canscltated BY an Injury to his bowling
rand and may not be able to take part
a ,o.day's contests The Columbus
,sam Will line up as follows, II Josephy
o,ays: Collin. Iosephy, Bruce, Har-
iunv and Reed. II Josephy cannot play
splbach will probably be put In the
! game. !. -. .,,..o
IN ire afternoon, beginning at o'ciick,
Standard time, and three IN the even
jnr beginning at $50 o'clock. The 1n-
,SIIrencer will receive the score at the
snd az each game, and bulletins will be
5Isnlayed at the Intelllgencer office and
Al inc Harvest bowling alleys, where
Christmas prize bowling will be in
sr5rresg. The night scores will also be
bulletIned at Fette's alleys.
The wheeling boys did not secure q
spscIal sleeper for the reason that some
Of the team desired to take the after
noon train and thus have q good nights
rest at Columbus. Fette. Stevenson and
Brown went on the 11A0 Baltimore &
Ohio train last night, accompanied by
some Of the "rooter" gang.
The WheellHgs viii feel very well sat-
isfed II they win two OF the six games
to-day, and the match wouldn't be lost
II only one game was taken on the VS.
;tnrs' alleys. Six straight Is what the
.wheellngs are banking on when the
columbus team comes here for the re-
,urn games on january 10. The scores
made in Columbus to-day will be better
than the later ones here. as the alleys
there are mechanically perfect and as
fast as any In the country.
All the Wheeling players are in fine
fettIe. Stevenson was indisposad re-
Gently, but he has entirely recovered
and is now bowling in his best form,
which Is as good as anybodS's. Camp
bell has shown a vast Improvement
over his work last spring In the Gin
cinHatE match. ana hlS average IN
the Wheeling league is only two pins
short of Stevenson. Handlan Is roll
ing his usual fine game, as Is Brown,
and Fette OF course Is always In shape;
he 'llves on the alleys"
Through business engagements, the
stakeholder was unable to accompany
the team TO Columbus. Wheeling has
already deposited all of It's part Of the
stake, $3.50. Columbus deposited the
forfeit. $50, some time ago. and the bal
ance, 500, Will be deposited with the
sporting editor Of the Ohio State Jour-
nal this afternoon before the games be-
gin, and by him viii be RENTED to the
stakeholder.
The members of the .Wheellngs
who went yesterday were Fette, Brown,
EaRdIan, Stevenson, Campbell, Marsch-
rer, WeitgeI and Knoke. Other bowl
ers In The party were Dan Bowlin,
Bosley. Tom Brett, Will McElroV, Hell
stein and VIII Jones
INTEREST AT FEVER-HEAT.
From the following In Saturdays Co
ipmhus Dispatch II will he seen interest
~ tO-dnF's contests IL at fever heat;
THE next great attraction in tho
bowling line viii be the games when
will be played on Collins alleys Nom
day afternoon and night between the
All.Stars Of Columbus and the ALI.
Wheeling team. The Wheeling bowlers
are pretty warm performers on the al
Ieys and the Columbus All-Stars wilt
have their hands full, II they expect to
take majority OF the games which
will be played on Monday. The fact
that the wheeling club went to Clncin-
natl and defeated the best team in that
city on their own alleys is conclusive
evidence as to their ability at the. game

PRODUCTION.
1.-THE interest In Mondays match IS
exceeding all expectations and the in
dlcatIons arc that many persons who
have not given the matter a thought
Will go down to Collins alleys Monday
night only to and that they are unable
TO get even standing room. The tick
cts Tor the games have been on sale ut
the various bowling alleys for a num-
her Of days and the advance sale has
exceeded all expectations. 1t looks
nov like all the seats will be sold before
Sunday night.
"The members OF the Columbus ALI
Stars have been working faithfully
during the past week, and while none
OF the scores have been given out for
publication, 1t Is Tumored that some
phenomenal work has been done and
the fight to get to play against the
Wheeling aggregation has been hotly
contested. Manager JosephV has not
yet announced what five men have won
the right to play Monday, but as the
match is for money, there will be no
sentiment about the matter and the five
highest average men will be selected
without regard to previous perform
ances.
