UNPRECEDENTED SALES
For Which Shelf Bros. Are Thankful to
Their Patrons


During the week ending Saturday
night, we enjoyed a volume of business
which we believe to be without pre-
cedent in the history of the jewelry
trade in Wheeling. Heavy cash pur-
chases for the holiday trade, and the
realization that our stock was too
large. induced us to make a bona fide
20 per cent cut in prices. This reduc-
ton, and the certainty of securing ar
ticles which were just as represented,
were in measure responsible for our
extraordinary holiday trade. Buyers
are assured that our guarantee accom-
panied every sale we made and we sin
cerely trust that the diamonds, watches
and jewelry which left our store will
contribute in no small degree toward
making this Merry Christmas indeed.
We have decided to continue the 2O'per
cent reduction sale until January LIST,
when it will positively end.

Wheeling, who will depart at 3:15 and

series between Columbus and Wheel

scented by Handlan, Stevenson, Fette,

will do the bowling, and a crowd of
ssrooters", including Dan Bowlin, Will
McElroy, Joseph Bosley, Gus Weitzell,

look after the interests of Wheeling.

over with confidence, and all declare
that winning two out Of the six games
in Columbus will be virtual victory,
as the visitors will have to hustle to
win one game when they play at the

Wheeling boys will make their head

The ten CAPTAINS of the Wheeling
League along with their faithful teams
have Just closed the eleventh week OF
the above tournament without a hltch
OF any kind, which speaks well Tor the
CAPTAINS who are conducting their
teams in such a skilled manner. Last
Monday the WheelingS took three
straights from the Cronies, after long
hard fought battle, making two one
thousand games, while the CroneS
niled I'D two nine hundred scores. The
next night the All Alizes clinched
their first place hold by swiping Bill
Hastings team for three games and
also made their first thousand game OF
the season. while the LaBelleS made
their highest score, which was 1874.
Wednesday was girl night for Dad
Stein, and his team of Rum Dums had
TO present the Aber Nits with three
much against their will, which shows
that Dads" case of fever is worse than
at first thought. The following night
Sid Sarvers braves had the honor of
losing three to "Germany's" team of
mules, after very close finishes, which
puts Sids team very close to the
Cronies in the race for championship
honors, and unless Sid soon gets a
hump on himself the Cronies will pass
in and leave Sid dragging along be-
hind. Charley Henning took three
balls out of Fiddle Rolf Friday
might, which makes him a dangerous
factor at the top of the heap, while
Fiddle keeps on cinching last place.
Next week promises some hot games
between the Cronies and the Big P's'',
as both teams have of late been putting
up a good game, and both seem deter
mined to win.

OUR PROBLEMS.
Most OF our solvers got the problem published
July 3, although n few missed it. The genera!
solution is to lead n small diamond. trunped
by s, who leads a small spade. n trumps this
and leads trumps, forcing a discard from 1.
which solves the problem. Another good solu-
ton Is for N to lead a trump in the first place
and then ruff a spade. after which he makes the
best diamond. s discardinR the club q. This
line OF play forces the discard from + on the
first trick instead Of on tho third. Several at
tempted to solve the problem by leading q club
from Ms hand. overlook ing the. fact that " can
defeat that opening by discarding n spade. SO
as to ruff tho 9 Of spades when 5 leads It.
