BROKE A LOCAL RECORD
ARTHUR f. HALL SCORED 2O4 IN
LAST NIGHTS BOWLING GAME.
Thirteen Pins Ahead of MueIIer's
Best ScOre-The Fistic Car
nivaI "a Failure.

Arthur T. Hall, OF the German American
Bowling Club last night wrested from j. G.
Mueller, Of the Lyra Casino team, the glory
of making the highest score in the bowling
tournament. His score was 204, which is
thirteen pins ahead of Mueier's record and
fve better than was made by the champion
OF last season, Frank Mas. This is the
highest score on record in this city. Mr..
Hall has been doing good work for his team
throughout the season, but had never be-
fore approached the record-breaking score.
His friends declare he has been in train
ing for this last game. Everybody who
saw the game seemed anxious that Hall
should break the record when it became APP
parent that he was getting up to point
where 1T was possible, and when ne finally
threw the ball which carried his score one
pin ahead of Mueller's and left him with
two balls yet to roll the members of his
team picked him up and carried him about
the German House on their shoulders, while
the An-Americans and visitors cheered him.
He made seven pins with the first ball, and
the excitement did not affect his nerves,
for he came back and cleared the alley with
the exception of the king pin, and then with
the next ball made eight pins. Mr.. Hall is
connected with the Journal.
The game was probably the best rolled
during the tournament. 1t was won by the
All-Americans by score of 1886 to 1377
after desperate fight. 1t was nip and
tuck through the first half, and at the end
or the eighth frame the clubs were tied.
Then the German-Americans forged ahead
and kept the lead until the next to the last
man in the last frame came to bowl. The
German-AnericanS were then fourteen pins
ahead. Knox added eight more to the score,
and Walcott came up smiling for the ALL
Americans with thirty points, making
shot nine strikes
men were Noting for the German-Ameri-
cans and Mcdaniel for the All-Americans.
Noting made eight points and Mcdaniel
scored seventeen. 1t was a hard game to
lose for the COMMUNICATIONS after such
a good start in the last frame but they felt
that the record of Mr.. Hall was a great deal
of consolation. The score follows:

Little New to Note i'm Local Markets
Prices Steady.

While there is very fair volume of business
in progress, 1t is by means what it would be
were the country roads settled. few days of
fair weather would overcome this drawback to
trade. Prices in all lines rule steady. There is
large demand for Irish potatoes for seed as
well as for daily consumption and the seed mer-

ceipts of eggs poultry and butter are large and
prices carry an easy tone. although eggs at the
low prices in active request. Vegetables. ex-

overstccked with cabbage. Green stuff is being

THIS CARNIVAL TAME.
Not Even One Knockout to EnIiven


lit.
BILLY Madden's athletic carnival drew
a far-sized crowd at the Empire Theater
last night-much better than it deserved.
The show might have been considered a fair
one Of it's kind before the Knockout" en-
tertainment given recently by kid Nc
Coy, but after that the bouts seen at the
Empire last night were exceedingly tame
to the sports who witnessed both affairs.
The show consisted of boxing and wrest-
ling bouts, with Gus Rubin as the star at
traction. The show opened with four-round
goes between Kid Stewart colored, and
Henry Schupp. BILLY" Arnold and Louis
Schupp, George Wenzler and Will Wenzler,
James Beal and Charles Tyrene and kid
Williams and Kid Barry, all of Indianap-
Oils There was also a barrel fight be-
tween Perry ChilderS and Ben Goldstein.
The boys wore boxing gloves, and each was
their barrels to within fighting range, and
then began smuggling. 1t required but a
slight blow to knock them over, and when
down IL was impossible for them TO rise
without assistance.
Two wrestling bouts followed Walter
Rost defeated Bob" Ford and Frank Ober-
ding bested Frank Jude. The entertainment
concluded with an exhibition of pugiliSt' 5
training quarters, showing how champions
are made. A number of boxers were on the
stage. and after. each had taken a turn at
bag punching the final boxing bouts oc-
Cured. Jack Davis and Joe" Haspel
spared three rounds, and then Rubin came
on and spared three rounds each with Sam
Murray. Jack" O'IIara and Jim Daily The
so with DAILY was the only one that was the
least interesting. They mixed lively and
gave fair exhibition. The carnival will
be repeated tonight.

Dry Goods.

NEW YORK, March 17.-There was an appre-
ciabe gain in the sales of cotton goods and Ter
haps a slight strengthening of the dry goods mar
ket over that of the early part of the week.
These conditions are marked in some quar-
tiers than in others, but 1t is evident that there
are no added discouragng features to the market
it stands to-day. The jobbng trade reports
continued spring trading and there is a modicum
of added demand recorders for seasonable
goods. The new fall lines of cottons are very
favorably considered by buyers as a rule. In
dress goods, mapped fabrics and such other lines
beginning to be opened the early inquiries
show much interest on the part of Jobbers. Wool
goods, however, are dull in nearly all grades
Mems fabrics without feature. In
staple cottons there is saids to have been con-
siderable interest displayed in wide sheetings and
sales reported at trifng advance over the
previous figures. Print cloths are weak; the NOM
inal quotation is still 21sc but sales Of l-l6c
were reported yesterday outside the market
Prints sell with fair degree of activity. Staples
show a steady demand, in the MAN, in nearly all
grades.
FALL RIVER, March 17.-Print cloth market
has taken another drop. Moderate sales have
been made at 21sc, less 1 per cent, at which hg-
ure there is apparent desire on the part Of
buyers to invest heavily in regulars. The price
is the lowest on record.

Wool.

LONDON. March 17.-At the wool sales to-day
there were offered IS, 049 bales comprising good

Russia took few choice lots. There was de-

which were exceptionally strong at 71s per cent
above the prices paid at the last series of sales.
This also true of greasy merinos, except
American sorts, which were firm at unchanged
