INDIANAPOLIS League
League

The bowling of the last week was some
what interfered with by the cold weather
and by the MaennerchOr ball on Friday
evening, but all the games were played
some time during the week. 1t is almost a
sure thing now that the Washington Club
will close the season in the lead of the In
dianapolis League. The contest for other
positions is a close one, and it will require
the last game to settle some of the posi-
lions.
The results last week were as follows:
Pastime alleys-First game, Social Turner,
lao; Capital City, 1,4OS; second game, Social
Turner, 1879; Capital City, 1900.
German House alleys-Ffrst game, Lyra

game, Lyra Casino, 1853; All-Americans.

The score of the first. game by the Wash

the season. Their opponents were the Old

consequently forfeited the games. The total

CLINTON, Ind, Feb. 1.-THE long and
vigorous fight Of the business men of elm
ton for free bridge over the Wabash river
here has at last ended successfully, and the
last toll bridge over the Wabash passes out
Of existence. The County Commissioners
purchased the toll bridge from the bridge
company yesterday, and as soon as the
weather will permit will have it torn down
and erect modern iron bridge in its place.
The toll bridge was built over fifty years
ago and has long been a source of annoy
ance to the business men of this place. The
fact that Clintonis in the extreme southeast
corner of the county has enabled the toll
bridge owners successfully to resist all pre-
vious attempts to have the commissioners
erect free bridge.
About two years ago the fight for free
bridge became aggressive, two special cleo
lions were held and there was over two
thirds majority in favor of a bridge. Still
the toll bridge owners possessed influence
sufficient to have the matter put off from
time to time. AT last the pressure upon the
commissioners from the business men of
Clinton became so great that they declared
their intention of proceeding with the con-
struction of a new bridge near the site of
the old one. This brought matters TO
head, and the old bridge was purchased for
$500. Its approaches and part of the piers
will be used in the new bridge.
The old bridge was a great source of rev.
enue to the owners, the income being $500
a month. The business men are highly elat-
ed over the outcome of the struggle and
will appropriately celebrate the removal Of
so great an incubus. The fight has been
long and bitter. Considering the high ten
sion to which public feeling was wrought
against the toll bridge at times, the absence
of all disorder speaks we'll for the law-abd-
ing character of the community. The prin-
cipal owners of the toll bridge are among
the most progressive men in the city, but
they had a profitable piece of property and
fought to hold on to it as long as possible.

the decision, although he came up apparently
refreshed in the eighth and ninth rounds
and gave his opponent no little trouble
The last round found him battered and
bleeding and another round would have
sufticed, to put him to sleep. Bezenah was
given the decision, as it was apparent that
a few more Of his vigorous punches would
have laid Van Heest low.
The preliminary bout did not evince much
science but pleased the audience. The
amateur contestants were all home tai
ent." The bout between Fred Roberts and
William Hubbard was declared a draw, al
of it. Billy Williams won the decision
over BILLY" Winzler. The barrel fight be-
tween Frank Davis and Ben Goldstein kept
the audience In a roar. After three rounds
of rough and tumbling, marked with all
kinds of comical awkwardness, Davis was
given the decision. The battle royal was a
close second to the main attraction in pop
ularity. Charles Simmons, large and hard
headed colored gemman was given the
decision after receiving about twenty min
uteS of choice pummeling from the other
four contestants, finally clearing the ring.
In the fight between Bezenah and Van
Heest, BeZenah assumed the offensive from
the start, and from the start It was evident
that he was a boxer, while his opponent
was disciple Of the old-school methods OF
fighting. 1t became evident that Van
Heest was taking toe many chances in
order to land one of his swings his OPP
ponents solar plexus, and he received con-
siderable punishment for his holiness in
many cases. In the seventh, IN one Of these
openings which Van Heest afforded by his
desire to land heavily; Bezenah followed
his man up so vigorously that the gong
struck just in time TO save the little man
from going under. He was helped to his
corner, very groggy and bleeding profuse-
ly. He was doctored up fairly well by his
seconds however, and came up surprising
IL fresh in the eighth. Through this round
and the ninth he held his own, but in the
tenth Bezenah fell on him fast and furious
and with time enough to land few more
blows, would have cieanly knocked out his
badly punished opponent, who was clinging
