The old game of bowling is rapidly
becoming one of the most popular in
door sports of the American public.
1t was formerly regarded more or less
as an eminently Dutch game and in
deed bowling dates back in American
athletic history to the time when the
Hollanders first settled in New York.
and reserved a space for their favor
ite sport, which has henceforth been
known as Bowling Green.
1t was the favorite pastime of Rip
Van Wrinkle and this picturesque old
vagabond's adventure with Heinrich
Hudson and his elf-like crew, bowl
ing in the Adirondack mountains, is
imperishably embalmed in the ltera-
ture, of America.
Now, every city has scores of bowl
ing alleys, all of which are we'll pat
ronized, and great interest taken in
them. In New York and other of the
larger cities there are dozens of
leagues formed and as much partisan
feeling exists, as in any other athletic
contest.
Here in Scranton great interest is
now taken in this interesting winter
sport, and there are a great number
of bowling alleys in the city. There
are three premier organizations, how
ever. which lead all the rest.
THE LOCAL TEAMS.
They are the teams representing the
Scranton Elks, the Scranton Bicycle
club, and the Backus Bowling club
OF these the Elks have figured in the
most contests and so far. have prob
ably made the best showing. Both
or the other teams, however, are COM
posed of skillful and clever players.
one game was recently played be-
tween the Elks and the Bicycle club
which was magnificent exhibition
The Bicycle club won two out of the
three matches played but the Elks
came out victorious by scoring alto
gether 6S pins more than their oppon-
cnts.
In nc game did either side drop be-
low 900, and in one match the Elks
scored over 1000, while the Bicycle
club soon a ter made a score of gg4
For six men, on a side, this is clever
bowling and reflects great credit on
the teams.
One of the steadiest and best play
ers in town is Charles Fowler, CAPTAIN
of the Elk team. He bowls in a grace
ful, fast manner and under his lead
ership the Elks have accomplished
great things in the bowling world.
Some great scores have been made
here, probably one of the largest being
259. which was once scored on the
Elk alleys.
Of the Bicycle club Bowling team,
the captain is DR.. Wardell Like
Fowler, he is probably the surest and
steadiest man on the team, and while
he does not always lead his men in
individual scores he generally is first
at the end of the evening, in the way

PROPERTY IDENTIFIED.

Professor Jones came to the station
house and identified all of, his prop.
erty. A silk waist Of Mrs. Jones was
also found, the loss of which had not
been known at all Members Of the
Bevan and PAUL households also came
down and identified their valuablaS.
Besides these, there was large num-
ber of knives, forks and spoons. the
ownership of which is not known.
Among the special articles which
were recognized was a beaded purse
of odd make which was taken from
Revans' and also a gold watch, tho
property Of Prof Jones, which was
known by the markings on the lid.
A large number of the stolen articles
were yesterday returned to police head
quarters by a number who had won
them from Courtright. Several of those
who returned the articles were very
loud in expressing their own innocence.
The police desire to say that all those
who purchased or won anything from
Courtright are urged 10 return them at
once.
The chiec and Detective Moir held
several interviews with Courtright yes
terday, and it is believed that he
"peached," as the profession call il, on
his companions. At any rate, these
two officials arrested a man who calls
himself Jim Little, on Penn avenue.
Three hours later the chief Detective
Moir, Lieutenant Davis and officer Jo-
seph Bloch arrested Jack" Grow and
his wife in a resort located at 1923
Centre street. Both of the men were
armed with revolvers, but they offered
no resistance. Courtright's girl lived
with the Crows, or at least on the same
floor. This led to their being sus-
peCted.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1899-12-26
HAD STOLEN ARTICLES.

Each and every one of these three
had some of the articles stolen from
the various residences upon their per-
sons when taken into custody. The
woman is about % years of age and
is very prepossessing in appearance.
Crow and the woman came to this city
from Shenandoah some hve weeks ago
and are known to have a record in
that place, Little is also a stranger
in the city, All three have been un-
der police surveillance as suspicious
characters for some time past
1t is the belief of the police that
Courtright pointed out the places to
be robbed to the other three and later
disposed of the articles stolen, taking
no very active part in the burglaries
himself. He has the general reputa-
tion of being a worthless, shiftless
sort Of chap without the nerve to real
ly break into a house himself. Tie
served as a marine on the cruiser
Marblehead during the Spanish Amerl-
can war and was one of the two hun
dred sea soldiers who first landed on
Cuban soil at Guatanamo Bay.
All four will be given a hearing
this morning before Mayor Moir, and
will of course, undoubtedly, be held
for trial.

Negro Laborer Run Over by Cars Mt

Special to Times Republican.
Fort Dodge, Nov. 1.--About 200 of the
negro la'borers imported by the con-
tractors on the Fort Dodge & Omaha
road from the south to rush the com
pletion of the road, We're in the city
yesterday en- route to their homes in
Mississippi. They had finished their
work on last Saturday and were paid
off. During their stay in the city they
took the opportunity to supply them
selves with new hats, clothes and tan
shoes, with which to make showing
upon their return home. After doing
their shopping they made their way to
the Illinois Central depot and while
waiting for their train to be made up
spent the time in good natured amuse-
ment among themselves. Two of them
were engaged in chasing each other
about and while doing so one of them
crawled under string of cars. He
had not cleared the rail when an engine
struck the cars with a violent bump
causing two wheels to pass over one
leg and badly managing the other. The
man was put on stretcher and con-
veyed to place where he could re-
ceive medical treatment. The company
physician was sent for and it is thought
that he will lose both legs.
