Of taking one, probably two of the

Results of Last Nights Games in all the
tournaments.
In the Wheeling tournament on
Fettes alleys, the Auroras, leaders in
the race, dropped the first game last
night to the Silver Globes, but won
the remaining contests without much
trouble. This now makes it again pos
sible for the Bowlers to tie the Auroras
for first place in the race. The Silver
Globes might have won the third game
but for the poor work Of Kahn, whose
string was but 81, and whose aggre-
gate string averaged 81 pins to the
game. The results were as follows:
Silver Globes, 9c4, 72C, $50, total 1854;
Auroras, S43, ST., $50; total 2,6O6.

SKIN GAME CAPPERS HELD
Men Wanted in Nashville Under Present
Arrest in Omaha.
ONE OF CHIEF GAlLsGAtR's BRIGHT MOVES
Sure Thing Gambling Device Allowed
to Run UnmOlested, While Two
"BOOsters" Are Taken on
an Old Charge.

J. w. Burns and WILLIAM Dwyer were ar
rested last evening while boosting not
only plain and illegal gambling device but
just as palpable skin game" The arrest
| was not made. however. to break up the
operation Of the game, because that WIS al
lowed to proceed without molestation. The
police were simply forced to gather in the
two men because they are wanted in an
other city on a serious charge. They are
consequently charged with being fugitives
from Justice from Nashville, where they are
slid to be wanted for a shooting affray.
The men have been the cappers for game
which has been allowed to run unmolested
for several weeks on Sixteenth between Chi
cago and Davenport streets. The proprietor
is one Kirschbaum, who has found his busi-
meas SO profitable at this place that he has
opened another Office near the corner OF
Fourteenth and Douglas streets. Both places
have been we'll patronized and have paid
well, inasmuch as the player stands no
chance Of beating the game.
The proposition offered at the game looks
good. The sucker Is provided for % cents
with a ball, which he SHES at an object at
the rear Of the board. In falling the ball
hits board covered with pegs, skipping be-
tween them until 1t reaches pockets at the
bottom. III II lanOS In certain OF the pockets
the thrower Is repaid at rate OF four to one,
receiving 81 for his quarter.
In order to bring the interest OF the spec
tators to the playing point a lot Of boost
ters" or "cappers" come up and buy balls
at quarter apiece These invariably prove
successful, falling into the 81 holes, and the
manipulation promptly hands out the dol
lar. When an outsider throws, however,
the board is switched and the ball, when it
reaches the bottom of the board. could not
be forced into winning pocket with crow
bar.
Chief Gallagher, although he admitted that
the game Is of the skin" order says the
men were not arrested for taking part in
1t. He declares that the game Is run under
a license and that he does not feel called
upon, therefore, to interfere with it. He
says the men were arrested on the strength
OF letter received some time ago from
Nashville, where they are wanted for taking
part In some sort OF a shooting scrape, hav-
ing jumped their bonds. The chief knew that
the men were in the city and had located
them for some time but did not attempt to
arrest them until last night
Il wanted to see II they Intended to be
straight, and as they showed no intention of
doing that oaused them to be arrested" ne
declared.
The Nashville authorities will be notified
of the arrest Immediately.

Railroads Prepare for DOralizatiO, ii o,
of ErPfchf Rufe~

CHICAGO. April 2O.-The railroads have
the opinion that the supreme court will this
week declare that the Joint Traffic associa-
tion Is an illegal organization, and they are
already proceeding to manage their affairs
without any reference to 1t or it's orders.
INSTRUCTIONS were quietly passed around
amo0g the railroads to contracting agents
today that they need pay no attention to
the rules OF the Joint Traffic association in
securing their business, and the result was
that there was lively general scramble for
business in which contracts we're made for
handling grain between Chicago and the
Atlantic seabolrd as low az 10 cents
This Generalization appeared in the alb
SERGE OF any authentic information tflat a
decision adverse to the Joint Traffic acsocia-
tion had been rendered, and IL Is expected
that 1t will become worse II the decision
should be AS much against the roads as
IL anticipated.
The reads admit that they have no direct
information as to what the decision will be,
but at the same time they say that they
have no doubt That 1t will declare the asso-
citation to be illegal.
