AN APOLOGY =
Forced at the Muzzle of a Gun.-A
Scandal Which Came to Light in a
Minor Court Yesterday-..0ther Min.
or Court Notes.

An affair of quite a scandalous ma
ture came up in a minor court yester-
day in which the names of both parties
have been suppressed. On Friday
morning a well known business man,
located in the central portion of the
city, while talking over the phone to
a young married lady of high social
standing, was ungentlemanly enough
to tell the lady that she lied. Of course
the lady reported the matter to her
husband, and he in turn accompanied
by his wife called at the mans business.
The husband demanded to know what
the nan in question had said to his
wife. The vile remark had hardly
been repeated when the business man
found himself on the floor. Upon get
ting to his feet he was confronted by
a very angry husband who covered him
with a revolver, demanding an immedi-
ate apology. The apology was given.
The business man swore out a peace
warrant and a warrant for assault and
battery. In each case the husband
was found guilty and paid a fine Of IS
and costs and furnished bond.

the same time exposing the butt OF a
revolver, with which he could easily
have shot holes in the gasoline cans
and so put the hall in darkness.
A very amusing incident occurred,
according to Charley White, at the first
boxing contest in which Frank Craig,
known as "the Harlem Coffee CooIer,'
ever took part as a principal and who
is now engaged in elevatfng the Tone OF
a certain section of society in the Brit
ish metropolis and incidentally boxing
now and then. The Cooler" had as
manager a man of his own dusky hue,
who was so nervous that he couldn't
look on during the contest. Instead, ne
hid behind a curtain and poked out his
head between the rounds to inquire
how his protege was getting on. He
was shaking as though attacked by a
fit of ague. After the contest was over
he again peered out with an almost
livid face.
Craig has won," he IS told.
It was too much. He keeled over in
a dead faint.
How greatly people are in1uapced
by their wishes and sentiment" SAID

recent Gardner-Flaherty 20 round go at
Hartford, where l refereed. Flaherty is
a New Highlander and consequently RAJ

Sam Austin, the well known referee
and sporting editor, tells a story which
bears out Whites statement and also
shows that at certain times a referee is
in personal danger of violent treat
ment.
He refereed a contest between "Mys-
terious'' Billy Smith and a local expert
at Scranton, Pa. About 5000 people
were present, and, Of course, the local
celebrity was a strong favorfte. Smith
was by far the scientific, though
his opponent managed to stay with him
until the last round, when a blow on
the point of the jaw knocked him out
AS Austin was leaving the building a
man stepped UP to him and said:
"You are probably not aware, Mr..
AuSJlu, CudC ILdL ldSt UlOW VI OhllI .
not only knocked out the other man,
but was a very providential n for
you"
How is that?" asked Austin.
what would have been your decis-
ion had Smith lot put his man to
sleep?" was the reply.
why, just the same, of course! I'd
have given him the decision on points"
Gust so! And a right decision it
would have been. But you must know
that almost every man in the building
had some of his money placed on the
local man, and had they lost 1t on a
certain degree of technical knowledge
Of boxing which but few of them pos
sess, they would certainly have han
died you exceedingly rough and prob
ably have injured you very severely"

AND RECORDS OF TEAMS AND
INDIVIDUALS.
The twenty-third week of the Wheel
ing tournament has been added to the
past by the ten teams work OF last
week, and only for the change in places
between the Bowlers and All Alikes
the race stands the same. The race
between the All Aikes and Bowlers is
an exciting one, for Of late neither
team has held second very long at a
time, and it won't be DECIDED until the
two teams meet each other, which will
be the week after next, when the two
teams will most certainly decide which
one will take the twenty-five dollars
and the honor of second place. Last
Monday night the Wheelings lost the
first to Sid Sarver's team by f%orty-one
pins, but in the second they made the
alley record and also the high score OF
the season in the city by making Lib
pins in one game, also the high indi-
vidual score by Campbell, who made
245. Brown also tied Balzer for sec
ond high score with 220. The third
game also went to the Wheeling by a
good margin. The above games make
eight of the nine played between the
two teams o by Wheeling. Tuesday
night the Aber Nit team took three
from the Frog Horns with ease on &C
count of the weak team put in by Capt.
Rolf, and Bernie Schroeder put in the
best men he had to make sure of win
ming, and low he has won eight of the
nine games played between the two
teams.
Wednesdays games began to look
as if the LaBelles were going to lose all
three games, as they lost the first two
to the Rum Dums without half trying,
but by a long, steady pull on the part
of Bill Hastings team they did finally
land the last game which makes it six
of the nine games won by the LaBelles
this season.
Thursday the Old Cronies came des-
perately neal taking the first game

A meeting of managers of the Inter-

Mansfield Tuesday. w. B. Howell and
Edward Lyle will represent Wheeling,
and will be accompanied by Jack"
Glasscock, who will look after the in
terests of Fort Wayne. An effort was
made to have the meeting changed to
this city, but Mansfield is perhaps in
greater need of the revival in interest
which it will bring about than is
Wheeling. Owing to the unsettled
state of affairs in Wheeling, and in one
or two other cities in the circuit, it is
improbable that the schedule will be
adopted at the meeting.
Manager Pop" Lytle stated yester-
day that he had not yet decided upon a
time to order the Wheeling players to
report, but that they will probably be
directed to appear about the middle
of April. The cas- will open about
