MISSOURI TEAM LOST
CRACK BowLERs LOST FIRST GAME
THIS SEASON.
Acmes Won by Seventy-seven Pins,
but Race Was Close Through
out-Acmes Made q Great
Spare Record.

The Missouris lost their first game Of the season
last night when they met the AGNES on the Bruins
wick alleys. II was interesting contest all
through for. while the AGNES took the lead in the
nrst frame and kept It to the finish they were at
no time so far ahead that they could feel of
the game until after the twenty-ffth frame.
Killing led Of for the Acmes and drew a wide open
split, but the next thirteen men marked. then an
other split, and at the end of the fifth they had
Jumped into the lead by ~ pins being assisted in
the NTH by the disastrous results of the Missouris
when the whole team opened. In the next 1--WE
frames the teams went along at q more even gait
the AGNES increasing their lead to SO pins Their
second ball work almost perfect. and they had
very few misses up this time. The Missours were
held back by good many splits. and their hard
luck in this respect made them little unsteady on
their spares. the reliable Wilson having all of his
in the first twelve frames.
The AGNES took a grand tumble in the fourteenth
and fifteenth, eight out of ten being open frames
and the Mssouris took advantage of the fall down
to put in double and triple besides marking as
often as the AGNES opened. AS result the lead was
down to 80 pins but was increased to 81 in the
twentieth and i2i in the twenty-aft The last
1--WE frames showed another gain for the Missouris
who cut the lead to Il pins. by which margin the
Porteous. OF the Missouris, and Kopf of the Ac-
mes had the best success with their strike ball,
with smaller number. but Wilson, Barse and Mills
did good work with their second ball and scored
fausiactory NUMBER OF spares kopf was high man
of the game with 52S, and Barse was second with
ILL., but none OF the others could reach the 500 mark
Wilson and Mills rubbed 1t pretty close, but fell
few pins short Mills did not profit as he should
by his spares, and he ought to have run second in
the game, as he got two doubles out of I'VE strikes
Hale and Killing fell short of their average and made
poor scores.
Porteous had too many misses or his total would
have been much larger, for the pins broke rather
easy for him. Chick badly damaged by splits
and that explains his The Aemes' record of
spares In this game is very unusual one they
having the large total OF 81, or sixteen to a man.
The game tonight will be between the Eagles and
Kansas citys and will conclude the first series of the
schedule The defeat Of the Missouris last night
makes the race more interesting and II the Kansas
Citys win from the Eagles they will tie the Mssouris
for first place and the Eagles and AGNES tied for
second place. The scores:

A SUGGESTION.
a Railroad Mans Idea of Choosing
the Next Mayor of Ell paso.

"There is crowd of men in this
city," said railroad man yesterday.
''who seem to relish saws and hatch cts
at regular meals and use gun powder
for dessert. Now, 1 have suggestion
to make. 1 propose that all these bad
men get out with their six shooters
and have it out and the one who es-
capped death let him be elected mayor
of the city by an unanimous vote of the
citizens. We would know then that
we had freproof Individual at the
head of our city government and one
who could 'staud-off,' as the saying is,
all the bad men who drift into our
prosperous city. The firing could take
place in the outskirts OF town and the
law hiding people could hear nothing
of it and the firing of the political
guns in the city campaign would he
silenced. The campaign slush fun
could be given to the old maids and
bachelors and conditions improved
generally"
El Paso daily herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1881-1901, 1899-03-09

"This Individually said one of the
officials, "would stand much better
chance of securing employment if had
sent word with a friend that he wanted
employment instead of writing for a
place. If we did employ him and it
fell upon him to make out q report
what would we do with it after he sent
it in. mo one could make il out and the
result would be that the work would
have to be done over. This is not the
only one of the kind we have received.
The waste basket is full of them. We
have enough railroad men in Ell Paso
At present to supply half dozen roads
with men for all departments, but still
they come"
