RACE FOR

The twenty-fourth week of the
Wheeling tournament was finished with
last Friday nights games between the
La Belle and Bowler teams, which
leaves the race the same as before with
about the same margin between each
of the ten teams, and from present in
dications they will finish about where
they now stand. Next week the All
Alikes and BCwlers will ONE together,
and those games will about settle sec
Ond place matters, and no doubt both
teams will have OFT their finest and
every ball as it goes down the alleys
will be followed by hundreds of pairs
Of eyes that will belong to friends or
both teams, and excitement will reign
supreme until the last ball has been
rolled.

THE TEN-SECOND COUNT.

"The ten-second count should be
made by an electric clock" says a pu-
gilistic admirer. 1T is impossible for
a referee to count tea seconds accu-
rately, and it often occurs that the box
eE over whom the count is being made
becomes the victim of a quick, inaccu-
rate counting and ~revives a second or
two after he is declared out. One or
two seconds seem like an hour to a
groggy boxer, as Bob Fitzsimmons re-
allied when he was slammed against
the ropes in the first round with Peter
Maher at the New Orleans Olympic
Club. Had there been 20 seconds left
Of the round, Maher would have won.
1t struck me that Tim Hurst consumed
more than ten seconds in counting out
Mccoy at the LeroX club last January.
In the eighth round, when Mccoy was
on his stomach making a play for a
foul, Hurst tolled off the seconds in
slow, measured strokes with his hand,
and he surely gave Mccoy the full ben
eft of the slOWest ten seconds | ever
heard counted. This count is of more
Importance than some of the club man
ayers and boxers realize, and it's just
as easy to have it accurate as to depend
upon the guess of the referee"
