SOME HIGH-CLASS BOWLING.
Y. NJ C. A. Win a Majority of Games

Y. NJ, c. A. Win a Majority of Games
From the jolly Fat Men.
There was some very high-class bowling
at the alleys of the Jolly Fat Mems Clup
last night, when the team from the Young
Mems Christian Association team came
down and battled with The home club IN
the regular league series. All of the games
we're good and the scores are entirely cred
table to the league. The visitors won out
in q majority of the games, and the nome
team had to play lively ten pins to erect
their single winning. The youthful players
on the association team made good, and
they played with all the steadiness OF
veteran. Miller regained his form or last
season, passed 200 in one Of the games ana
averaged finely. Eiker verified the predlc-
ton made last week, and he took the pins
off the spots in a thoroughly business-like
manner. Krauss, the last of the juvenile
trio, bowled two good games, though ne
was low in the opening. For the home team
Bruegger easily led, making fine scores in
each game End improving as he went
along. With the exception, of smithson,
who was away OFF form, all of the home
players did good work at times, but they
all developed bad spots which were fatal to
their chances of success Armstrong how
ever, led both sides for high game when he
ran 207 in the second event.
The smallest scores of the match were
made in the first game, yet 1t was well
played and so close at times as to be of the
greatest interest. The home team got a
lead in the first game. and 1t was not over
taken for several innings. Great runs by
Miller and Eiker made the winning for the
visitors Miller playing a breakless game
and Eiker failing his spare only in the
eighth frame. The association lads clinch-
ed the matter by making strong finish in
the tenth inning. The score follows:

DISTRICT NOT LIABLE,

C1t1zen without Recourse When In
jured While Assisting Police.
The attorney for the District, Mr.. A. B.
Duvall, has advised the Commissioners that
the law seems to be settled, that NUM-
cipal corporation is not liable to a person
who suffers bodily injury while aiding it's
officers, at their request, in making an ar
rest.
Messrs. Davis and Tucker, as the at
torneys of Mr.. VIM. H. Hardy, recently
Invited the attention of the Commissioners
to the fact that their client, while in the
act of assisting a police officer to make an
arrest was struck by the officers stick and
severely injured. They suggest that the in
jury was sustained by Mr.. Hardy while
performing duty which the law imposed,
that of assisting a police officer In making
| an arrest. 1t was stated that the chief of
police recognizes the justice Of Mr.. Hardy's
claim Tor compensation, but has stated that
he sees no way Of compromising him, ex-
cept for services rendered. and cannot,
therefore. recommend the payment Of more
than thirty or forty dollars, which. it is
I of the opinion" says Mr.. Duvall,
that there is no legal liability on the part
Of the District Of Columbia in a case of
this kind. The law seems to be settled, that
| municipal corporation is not liable to a
person who suffers bodily injury while aid
Ing its officers, at their request, in making

In-and-Out Work Of the Horses ut
Aqueduct Track Yesterday.
Horses of cheap class made betting at
the Aqueduct track yesterday, even II they
fell somewhat short Of making sport. A
crowd hungry for the chance to recover
some of the years losses made the long
trip to the Queens county course and charged
into the ring of layers, ravenous for great
er profits on the season, and, with both
sides ready and willing, the speculation was
fast enough to make amends for all else
that was wanting. The weather was cold
but clear and the track the fastest of the
meeting
In the fourth race, a mile and a sixteenth

strength of his easy win from Trilo a few
days before, stood out conspicuously in
promise, and after five of the nine entered
had been Withdrawn opened an odds-on
favorite. with Philippine the second choice.
The wise among the bettors ignored Knight
of the Garter. however, and centered their
support on Philippine, and the result of the
race justified their action. The effort that
Burns, who rode Philippine, made to win
might well be held up as an example to as
piring riders, and though all of it was not
strictly fair. Burns won, and, more than
that, got the race in spite of a claim OF
foul made by Walsh, who rode Knight of
the Garter. Walsh, however. never passed
a chance to make a mistake, and, taking
knight of the Garter the longest way
around and into pocket after pocket, tried
to go up on the inner rail after Sir Fitzhugh
made the running to the last turn. Then
Philippine made his run. Jostling and
knocking out of the race Carbuncle, Philip
pine swung over to the rail and pinned
Knight of the Garter on the fence, gently
bearing in on him and shutting him on
each time that the horse tried to get
through, with the result that Philippine
won, ridden out, by head. The stewards
dismissed Walshs complaint without call
ing for other testimony.
The one horse with any claim to class
that ran was the aged, battered and now
sour old mare Imp, in the first race
