The bowling games at Wellsburg Fri
day afternoon and evening at Whyte's
alleys, between Wellsburg and Wheel
ing, attracted two very large audiences,
and the ladies of the town turned out
in extremely large numbers. Wells
burg succeeded in winning four out OF
six games, which is to be accounted for
by the very large start the Wheeling
boys allowed their Wellsburg friends.
1t is not saying too much that the
Wheeling boys were treated more cour-
teously than at any place they have
yet visited, and the boys are loud in
their praise of the conduct of the
Wellsburg team and their friends in
endeavoring to Guido each other in
their endeavors to entertain their Wis
itors. Much of the success of the I'M
dertaking was due to the untiring eff
forts of that prince of good fellows,
Mr. A. T. Loggie, manager Of the
Wellshurg club and he and his asso-
ciates and friends have the thanks of
the All Wheeling Stars. A grand ban
Quet was served after the evening
games. The scores follow:

ball fans, numbering somethink like

Wheeling-Canton game at Canton to-
morrow. 1t is needless to say that
the object OF interest in this event for
Wellsburgers is the fact that Clyde
Robinson will be in the game. Young
Robinson is great favorite at his
home. Last season his work all through,
both with the New Kensington and
Westfield teams, was of the very clean
est order. He is born ball player,
and will certainly prove very valu-
able acquisition to the Wheeling team.
His showing thus far in his trial with
the team has been good, and he is fully
capable OF keeping up this sort OF work.
Robinson is snappy ball player all
the way through. His field work is
very clean.
