tween Rotherwel and Cordes, the latter

the race for the championship, and. al
though his first effort did not meet with
any success, he had the great satisfac-
ton of giving Champion William Gerdes
his first defeat of this seasons compe-
tition, to the great surprise OF the
pfungers who backed the champion TO
win. In the fnal games Gerdes took re-
venge by taking a series from Rother-
wei. It was an even break all around

FOR THE SECOND PRIZE.
Jersey City Lowers It's Col

the Roll Off.
NATIONAL TOURNAMENT
Champion Gerdes Meets His First
Defaat-Fourth Regiment Can
not Win Championship.
NATIONAL TOURNAMENT

The Jersey City Club, after making a
great battle in the last half of. the Attn
letie League and furnishing a tie for the
second prize, were beaten out last night
by the Roseville Athletic Association In
the roll off on the alleys of the Knieker-
booker Athletic Club in New York. Great
interest was attached to this game
throughout this vicinity, and every club
in the Athletic League was represented
when the clubs came together for the roll
off. Jersey City having beaten Rosevile
in four games of the six scheduled be-
tween them this season in the league,
were to have a strong chance of winning
the prize. and confident of this result a
large number of the club members visited
the K. A. c. alleys to help the team along.
How well they succeeded is shown by the
result. Only two games were rolled, the
Rosevilies winning both. This was ac-
complished very easily. The team rolled
a fine average in the first game and then
slunped badly in the second, but met with
equal success and won by almost as great
a margin. Jersey City gave no exhibition
Of the work thai made them feared by
the other teams in the race throughout
the season, and Rosevilie had complete
revenge for all hat Jersey City had done
early in the contest, and as it came in
at the right time Jersey City suffers in
consequence. Their chance of winning a
prize was considered excellent all the
way through the league year, but unfor-
tunate errors at critical periods proved
disastrous, and as has been the case in
past years Jersey City died at the finish.
They made their effort in the first game,
and meeting With failure had no heart
for the work in the second, and yielded
UP the prize without a fight. The score

SHERLOCK SEEKS HIS RELEASE.
Habeas Corpus Proceedings Before
fudge kirkpatrick Yesterday.

Senator w. D. Daily this morning went
to Newark to argue the case of James
Sherlock against Sheriff Heller on a writ
of habea r before Justice Andrew
Kirkpatrick of the United States Circuit
Court. Sherlock was tried for rape two
years ago in Hue son county. On the trial
of the cause, beft,re even the defense had
opened it's case, the trial judge ordered
the removal of a juror and a new trial was
ordered. This, the Senator contends, is
illegal, because the jury was complete
and no mans liberty should be arbitrarily
placed in jeopardy. Sherlock is now in
the county Jail and his counsel hopes to
nave the writ of habeas corpus granted.

DAWN OF REASON.

A meeting was held in Denver Thurs
day which was a truly remarkable
gathering. Seven hundred Mckinley
men met in convention, adopted a plat
form endorsing the administration and
the st. Louis platform and placed a full
state ticket in the field. The Broadway
theater, II of the largest auditoriums
in Denver, was filled to it's fullest ca
pacity and the speakers were cheered
to the echo. In its report of the gath
ering the Denver Republican, one OF the
meanest democratic papers in the west,
says: men and women who believe
in the policy of the national admins
tration cheered and recheered and
counter cheered every time the name Of
the president or of Senator Wolcott
escaped from the lips OF one of the ora
tors of the day. In so far as the ma
tional administration has progressed
