EMS CF THE LEAGUE AND 11h
SCHEDULE FOR THE ENllkE
SEASON.
AT the Harvest bowling alleys to-
morrow night at s O'Clock will open the
Wheeling Bowling League with a fu-
ture before it that will make it COM
pare well with the league conducted at
the above named place last season,
which had not one postponed game to
its credit, and each of the ten clubs
entered came under the wire with
clean record, something never done be-
fore in the citys history. Yes, Secre-
tary Fette feels very confident as to
the result OF his new league, Tor ne
says that with ten such captains as are
conducting the various clubs OF his
league a clean record can be the only
result. Last season four or I'VE OIL the
ten teams entered only for the sport
to be had from the popular game ana
knew that with the material they had
in their teams they could win no place
in the race for championship honors,
but this season promises some very in
teresting contests, as all but two or
perhaps three of the ten teams entered
are out for blood. and intend finishing
as high in the race as their very best
efforts will permit, hence it would be
a very hard matter to Try to pick the
winners at this stage of the game.
The wheeling" team is picked by
some as sure winners, but Captain Hen
ming. of the "Bowlers' claims his
team must first be consulted, and
Captain C. Nolte says both
the above named teams will at
least treat his team with respect be-
fore they get through with them;
then comes Lid Sarver, the popular
captain of the Golden Rods" club,
claiming everything in sight, and Sid
knows a thing or two about bowling,
as he and r. N. Archer proved by
winning the pig for the old Harvest"
team in the first handicap contest ever
bowled in the city. Captain Wilhelm,
of the Puritan" team, is not saying
much, but it has leaked out that he has
placed several wagers that his team of
singers" will not come under the
wire under fourth place. The "Old
Cronie," Captain Alderman, has wag-
cred Captain Hastings, Of the La
Belle team, a neat sum that the well
known "Old Cronie" t2nn will walk
away from the "LaBelles" in the race.
The surprise of the season is that the
well known "Aber Nit" team with B.
Schroeder at the helm, have signified
their intention of going in for every
thing in sight: Captain Schroeder has
enlisted some stars that he is expect
ing wonders from. and if expectations
don't fail his team will give some of
the Cracks" a hot argument this win
ten. Captain Stein, Of the Rum
Dums," and Captain Rolf, Of the
Frog Horns" have rot expressed
themselves as to the strength of their
teams, and it is>even whispered about
that they won't finish either one, two
or three in the race.
The captains of the above named
teams have been very busy mortals the
last few days. getting the new schedule
books distributed among their men,
and getting their very best material in
trim for the opening this week
Il will be we'll for the spectators to
get to the alleys as early as possible,
as the games will be called promptly at
S o'clock this season. which will be an
Improvement over last season, when
the games were not called until $50,
and some times o'clock.
Another interesting feature this sea-
son will be the handicaps that have
been slated, and they always prove so
interesting. and on which Secretary
Fette lays the successful termination Of
his leagues. as it briggs all the teams
together. and causes harmony TO exist
among them which is one of the secrets
of success of conducting a bowling
league.
Most Of the teams have already post
ed their s. forfeit money and have
expressed themselves as satisfied with
the rules in every respect.
Below will be found a complete list
of the names of each team which will
account for the expressions made by
the various captains as to the strength
of their respective teams.
