Extraordinary Bowling at
Woods Hall in Individ-

Tourney.
KINGS SONS INDOOR GAMES
Interesting Athletic Meet
Bowling on the Green
A. A. U. Champion
~ship-Genera1 Notes.

Some of the most extraordinary bowling
that has ever been witnessed in this city
was seen last night at Woods Hall alleys,
where SO many exceptional scores have
been made this season. Doc Selnow has
done much for the gam this year when
the sport needed a boom badly, and by
bringing together the class of men that
he has placed against each other In his
individual and two-men team tournament
he has been the cause of making the
best bowlers in the county do their best.
A very high average is held by all who
bowled in this tournament.
Last night Wright, Gray and Coffnan
were scheduled to bow in the individual,
and they bowled in a most unusual mali
ner. Many of the wise ones who were
talking ..has been about several good
old timers who have not used themselves
up. yet by considerable will make up to
their error by glancing over the scores
recorded below, and by remembering that
Duke got an average of 200 for six games
Wednesday night.
Gray and Wright were The contestants
in the first series, and many were inter
ested in watching how the pair that car
ried off the first prize in the two men
team tournament by rare work, would
stand toward each other in a struggle Tor
individual honors. They started in the
first game to win and totaled up a score
of 2S7. Wright lost by 3e pins. Wright
won the second game with 20S by ID pins.
and Gray's score of 2S5 gave him the
three games. The fourth game went to
Wright. Gray won the fifth and decld-
ng game by ten pms with 214.
Five games were necessary in the sec
ond series to prove that Wright could
defeat Coffman. Wright won the first
game with 245 by % pins, and lost the see
ond. which was one of the three games OF
the night in which neither side scored
over 200. Wright got in an excellent
score of 2a in the third game, and won IN
a walk. Coffman got the fourth game, ana
the fifth went to Wright, when he scored
233.
The last series was between Coffman
and Gray. The former won the hrsf
game and the second, and was defeated
in the next two, so the fifth was neces-
sary. Coffman bowled 23 to win against
Gray's 900. This gave each a series. Each
bowled ten games.
The averages were:-Wright, eo6; Gray,
20S; Coffman, 1873. The scores:7

DR.. BRIGGS IS ORDAINED
Former Presbyterian Now an

AFFAIR PASSED OFF QUIETLY
Expected Protest Was Not Made Before
Nor During the Progress of
the Ceremonies.

New YORK, May 16.-In the pro-
cathedral on Stanton street Rev. DR..
Charles A. Briggs, who was suspended
for heresy by the Presbyterian assembly,
was ordained a priest Of the Episcopal
church. He was ordained together
with the Rev. Charles A. Snedeker and
the ordination ceremonies were con-
Quoted by Bishop Potter. The little
church was crowded with people and
the ceremonies were notable for the
quietness that prevailed.
Those who expected from the great
outcry of the past three or four weeks
some sensational features were disap-
pointed. There was no scene, no excite
ment and no protest was filed at the be-
ginning, during or at the close of ordi-
nation. There was nothing notable in
the sermon preached by Rev. DR.. Doug
lass. The ceremonies were very long,
commencing at 1890 o'clock and contin-
uing until late in the afternoon. If
anything the services were hurried a
little and the general communion which
followed the communion of the postu-
lants or candidates tended to extend the
time.

BUFFALO, N. Y, May 16.-Notwith-
standing the adjustment of the grain
shoveling trouble the labor situation
here so far as the commercial interests
of the port are concerned is threatening.
The tieup Of the freight and ore docks
which was said to be the result of the
scoopers strike is still on. The ore
handlers now out number 1900. The
freight handlers who said they struck
out of sympathy with the shovelers now
refuse to go back to work until their
wages are raise to IS cents per hour
for outside work. The housemen also
refuse to go to work until they secure
an increase in pay. With the excep-
ton of the elevat ors, therefore, nearly
everything on the docks will be tied up
for some time to come. The coal hand
lers say they are being underpaid and
that the contract bosses failed to make
fair accounting with them. They de-
mand 3 cents a ton for trimming and
50 cents car for box cars instead of 40.
The ore men demand II cents a ton,
the rate which they claim prevails in
Cleveland. Both freight and coal men
ask that the railroads and steamship
lines do away with the boss contractors
and deal directly with the men,

MANILA, May 16.-l1:20 p. Mag
uinaldo has issued orders that all for
eigners must leave insurgent territory
within 48 hours. There are only few
commercial men here, mostly English
and German. Aguinaldo believes that
by refusing them the rights Of noncom-
batants he can force their governments
to recognize the belligerency of his So
called government, in order that they
may treat for the safety Of their SUBJ
jects.
A Filipino priest who had talked with
the Tagal general, Treas, has brought
to Father MrKinnon, chaplain of the
First California regiment, copy of
letter written by Aguinaldo to General
Treas, asking his opinion as to the
advisability of surrendering, saying:

will be necessary to conquer the United
States will drain the country's resources

ing with Filipino commission which
was suggested on behalf of Aguinaldo
by Lieutenant Reyes of the staff Of
General Gregerio del Pillar, who came
to General Lawton under a flag Of

thought by the American commission
ers that the idea may have resulted
from recent meeting of the so-called
Filipino congress at San Isidor. Def
mite information on this point, however,
cannot be obtained, though the local
Filipino committee, which is in close
communication with the leaders of the
rebellion, is doing its utmost to secure
peace.
