The representatives of the Wheeling
bowling league went UP to Pittsburg
yesterday to play return series OF
games with the crack bowlers Of that
city, and succeeded in capturing the
match with over six hundred pins to
spare. The Pittsburg devotees of the
game are a jolly set of good fellows,
and accepted defeat good-naturedly
The spirit of rivalry which has been
engendered between the two cities, will
probably result in other matches in the
future.
A big crowd went up to Pittsburg on
the morning train, the entire party
numbering about twenty-five. Owing to
lack of familiarity with the alleys, the
Wheeling boys were compelled to ae-
cept defeat in the first game, Pittsiburg
winning by such large margin that
they defeated Wheeling by eight pins
In the aggregate. Wheeling defeated
Pittsburg by over 600 pins in the home
series, however. In the second and
third games the local bowlers braced up
nicely and won out by safe margins.
The stellar performance was given by
VIM. Fette, who made perfect score in
the second game, five frame contest.
This will stand as record, and it
would have been interesting to note his
performance in the five remaining
frames, his two additional strikes Civ
ing him almagniicent start for record
breaking string.

1rHEY HAVE SURRENDERED.

NEW YORK, November 19.-lt Is
stated that if canvassing the various
clubs of the Amateur Athletic Union OF
America, the New York A. c., flndins
the sentiment overwhelmingly against
it, will make no fight against certain
proposed reforms which will come up
for action at the annual meeting of the
union, to be held at the Astor house
beginning at II o'clock tomorrow
morning. Among the majority OF CLUBS
of the various associations, there
seems to be only one object, which is to
prevent the New York A. c. from cor
railing all the leading athletes OF the
country to the detriment OF smaller
clubs that have not the money to keep
in operation a training table such as Is
maintained at Travers Island.

FIRST DEFINITE NEWS.

LONDON, November 19.-The first
definite news regarding the fate of
Winston Churchill was conveyed to his
mother this evening by a representative
of the Associated Press. Lady Ran
dolph had just returned home from a
quiet dinner with a few friends when
the gratifying intelligence that her son
is living was conveyed to her. The
fact that his wound is not necessarily
dangerous and that he is alive in Pre-
toria, caused her the greatest satisfac-
ton, as she had been hitherto without
the least intimation of his whereabouts.

Mr. Hardin K. Toney, the iuven- ile prodigy whose opinion is set against the judgment and wishes of his Jefferson tcounty constituency ln touching and graceful manner, asserts that the present unamended Antitrust Law Twill work tenn porary hardship, but in the end the results will be most satisfactory. A merchant with a large stock Of goods, a widow whose sole posses, sion is the home in which she lives, being left absolutely without iusur- anee, lose their all Tn the flames. A trifing matter of twenty five years is all that is required to replace these hard earned possessions. In this time a tribe of boy orators could be bred, ard the dread pests thrown upon the public Hence, the temporary hardship is a matter of very little moment.
