THREE GAMES FOR ASSOCIATION.
Defeat for Golden Eagle Club BOST1ers
Last Night.

Last Night.
Three games in the championship series
of the District Bowling League were bowled
last night on the alleys of the Young Mems
Christian Association. The contesting
teams were from the Association and the
Glden Eagle Bowling Club. The result was
disastrous to the visiting five. The Associa-
ton team already with a big lead in the
league race defeated the Eagles in all of
the games and as result now have lead
that even at this early stage of the league
season will be hard to overcome. especially
when 1t is considered that the Columbus.
who are their nearest competitors are more
than 40 percentage points behind.
AS another result Of this series, the
Golden Eagles, heretofore reckoned as one
of the very strongest teams ever gotten to-
gether in the city drop back all the way to
fifth place. The playing of the Eagles in
their recent games is as much surprise as
anything that has yet happened in bowling
circles Armstrong has developed strange
weakness, and Is considerably behind the
average which it was anticipated he would
bowl.
One of the prominent characteristics of
the Association team is the steady work OF
all of it's players. No remarkably high
scores are made, but all of the men play
consistently together They have lost but
one game upon their own alleys to date
In the opening game last night the home
team started off with a rush. having but
two breaks in the first two frames. This
practically won the game for them as the
opposing team was never afterward close
to them. The Association did better strike
work and better spare work, and won with
over a hundred pins margin The score

TWO READY TO QUIT
Planning Reduction of the Base Ball
League.
WAGNERO PUT Up THEIR DEMANDS
Deliberations Of the Nagnates in
New York.
CURRENT SPORTING NEWS

Mr.. Harry r. Vonderhorst announced yes
terday afternoon in New York to the other
base ball magnates there that the Baltf-
more club of the National Base Ball League
Is not for sale at any price. AS conse-
quence all hopes for the present of a re-
duction of the circuit from twelve to eight
clubs gone. The efforts of those who
have been working diligently to that end
are nullified. The decision as given out by
Nonderhorst was reached at meeting held
during the day between F. A. Abel, Chas.
H. Ebbets, Edward Hanlon and H. Won
derhorst, owners of the Brooklyn and Bal
timore teams There was not a dissenting
voice.
According to an agreement signed by the
twelve clubs at Indianapolis in the fall OF
1891, a club cannot be dropped except by
unanimous consent of the twelve. At the
present time the larger clubs want to get
rid of Cleveland and Louisville in the west
and Washington and Baltimore in the east,
being unwilling to wait until 1901, when
the ten years compact expires.
Cleveland and Louisville ready to
quit for nominal sum. Washington,
through the Wagners so it is said have
put $4,000 as a price on their withdrawal.
This is looked upon eXorbitant. but the
main politicians of the league think they
can induce that club to take fair price.
Now comes Baltimore with Its declara-
ton that it holds to the Indianapolis agree
ment and so everything toward the re-
duction of the circuit to eight clubs is at
standstill.
All the Magnntes ON Hand.
This announcement when it became
known, caused CONSERVATION among the
eight clubs that desire to form a new or
ganization. Realizing that 1t is the most
critical period in the history of base ball
since the war with the brotherhood, all the
various owners except those of the Phila-
delphia club were on hand a day before the
annual meeting begins. The largest dele
cation Is from Louisville, every stakeholder
being represented.
During the day innumerable conferences
We're held, with a view to arriving al some
proposition whereby the circuit can be re-
duced. By those who are supposed to
know it is said that the league will remit
the fine of 81, 900 imposed on the New York
club for FORGETTING game to Baltimore
inasmuch as Player ]. William Holmes,
who was the cause of the disturbance at
the polo grounds, was allowed to go free
without the New York club being notified
that a hearing was to be had.
Barney Dreyfus, who has just become m
terested in the Pittsburg club. says he Will
do all in his power to aid in the reduction
of the circuit.

stakeholder in the Pittsburg club, said: I

BOTH SENTENCED TO DEATH.
GODDING AND POWELL CONVICTED
OF VTCKERs' MURDER.

Powell Claimed He Was Forced by
GOdding 10 Take Part in the Crime,
But the Jury Considered Him
Equally GuiIty-Dec. II Set as the
Day for the ExecutiOn-Judge Can
der Did Quick Work at VAL
dosta.
Valdosta, Ca. Nov. 2S.-Judge Gambler
broke the record here to-day by trying
and sentencing two murderers TO be hang
al and by trying a negro charged with
assault with intent to murder and sending
him to che penitentiary for life.
Jim Godding and Wash Powell were
brought here last night and Godding was
put on trial early this morning. The first
witness against him was Wash Powell,
his accomplice In the murder of Henry
Vickers. -
Powell told all about the killing, how
the body was thrown in a well, how it
was first robbed and of the division of the
money over in a cane field near the house.
He insisted in his statement that he had
nothing to do with the killing himself be-
ing forced to take part by Cooling.
A negro named Tup Lissamore also tes-
titled that Godding had confessed the
crime 10 him in Thomas county jail, Lis
samore being carried there to obtain a
confession. Other evidence was introduc-
ed and many circumstanc were brought
out to show that PowelPs confession was
true in so far as it related to how the
murder was committed
The arguments were made by Solicitor
Thomas for the state and Col Whitaker
for the defendant. The arguments took
up only about a half hour. The judges
charge consumed fifteen minutes and the
jury retired at 1850 o'clock. In seven min
utes verdict of guilty was rendered
against Jim Goddng.
Same Punishment for Powell.
The case of Wash Powell was called i'm
mediately after dinner and four panels of
jurors were exhausted before the jury was
selected. About the same evidence was
introduced against Powell as against Cod
ding, except that the state tried TO show
that Powell was as deep in the crime as
Godding was.
The case went to the jury at 5 o'clock,
and in half hour a verdict of guilty was
rendered.
During that half hour John Young was
put upon trial for assault with intent TO
murder WIN Nicholson. He was convicted
and sentenced to ten years.
The grand jury completed its work this
evening, and was dismissed after a busy
session. After the presentments were read
Judge Gambler pronounced the death SEN
tence upon Godding and Powell fixing the
date of execution on Wednesday, Dec 49,
just twenty days away. The sentence
meets the approval of everybody and there
is rejoicing that these sensational cases
have gone through the courts with so little
trouble.

Atlanta, Nov 23.-The committee on ed
ucation tonight adopted substitute for
the Clifton text book bill, which recently
passed the Senate, and also for the text
book bills of Messrs. Adams of Putnam,
Jernigan Of Warren, and Harden of Liber-
ty. 1t embraces the best features of all.
The committee on appropriations voted
adversely to DIR. Cartons bin to appro-
pirate $4,000 to the State Normal School at
Athens for dormt.ori- and sewerage pur-
poses. In the APPROPRIATION last year So
500 was set aside for the construction of
sewer, but this sum was applied to an in
crease of the teachers salaries President
Bradwel getting an increase Of SO 1-3 per
cent, and the other teachers 20 per cent.
Many of the members thought the trustees
should be held liable for the misuse of the
funds.
The sanitary condition of the college is
said to be horrible, and the state may be
threatened with a damage suit thereby.
DIR. Carlton fairly boiled with rage in the
committee room, and said he had come to
the Legislature for the request of funds
to build the sewer rather than have the
citizens Of his county apply to the courts
for the abatement of the nuisance.
