At a meeting at Fette's alleys last
Wednesday evening the final arrange
! ments were made for the opening of the
Wheeling bowling league one week
from tomorrow night, and if the
weather is good the boys of the above
organization will turn out in decorated
wagons with the teams name painted
on streamers, and the occupants of
each wagon will make the night a bril-
liant n with the red fire that will
be on hand for the occasion. The two
openers, K. K. K. and All Rioters, will
parade for certain, and all others who
will be able to have wagons will also
enter the procession. The X. K. K.
team has about seven members that
have their own buggies and have sig
nifie6 their intention of entering the
parade in their own rigs. AT the last
meeting Of the board Of directors the
rule that read, "a man must bowl two
frame at a time, but must change al
leys each frame" was changed so that
now it reads, "a man can roll but one
Al ~ db LIN ol1O A4QOI CLdASO L
leys each frame" The above change
was desirable to the captains.
The ten teams will have a practice
night next week, two teams each night,
that the management donates free of
charge that the teams might become
acquainted with the alleys and also
n another. The teams have picked
the following nights as practice nights:
Monday-K. K. K.-DeShackles.
Tuesday-Kenmores-Oceola
Wednesday-All Alikes-Rough Rid
ers.
Thursday-All fredericksburg Bugs.
Observation-Disclosures
The finishing touches were put to
the various teams at the last meeting,
when several names were added to the
already long lists. Now it looks as if
Wheeling's bowling material had all
been we'll taken care of by the cap
tains, who are old men at the game,
and know pretty we'll the average of a
nan the minute their lamps i turned
upon him. To such captains will rest
the fate of the Wheeling league the
coming winter, but that they will prove
true to the task is a certainty, be-
cause they have been tried and have
deserved the honor bestowed upon
them, and no doubt will carry the flag
of honor throughout the schedule with
out a blemish. Secretary Fette has
promised several handicaps for the
coming winter, and if they a be
judged by the past, they will prove
very interesting. This year the prizes
will be in the shape of new balls, bowl
ing shoes, etc., and the usual lunches
will also be included the same as be-
fore.
The new President of the league
seems to be the right nan in the right
place. Mr.. Charles H. Ebeling, who
has for several years been a much
trusted and very popular employe of
the Dollar Savings Bank, of this city,
and for four years served the citizens
of the Sixth ward very faithfully in the
First branch of Council, was chosen
unanimously by the captains, and that
they have made no mistake in their Sc
lection was shown by the way the
President called the last meeting to
order. The leagues "big chief has
the best wishes of his many friends as
President Of the Wheeling league. The
Vice President, Mr.. Fred Brash, was
also chosen unanimously by the cap
tains, who have known him for many
years, some through meeting him in
friendly contests on the alleys, while
others have been his companions at the
Riverside iron works, at which place
Mr.. Brash is a roller, and is held in high
esteem by his foreman, having worked
there for many years. In the absence
of Mr.. Ebeling Mr.. Brash will swing
