A Bad Header.

George Cook, young man who
lives in Fulton, met with a severe ac-
cident while riding his wheel down
North Market street between Eighth
and Ninth streets yesterday. In some
manner the lantern on his wheel swung
around and became fastened in the
spokes, throwing the rider to the
street. He alighted on his cheek, and
cut a very ugly cash in his face. he
was carried into house nearby where
he soon regained consciousness, and
later was removed to his home in
Fulton.

TIGHTER GRIP ON THE LEAD.
Institute BOwlers Twice Defeat the
SaenEerbund Five.

The Carroll Institute bowling team slight
ly frightened its hold on the leadership Of
the District Bowling League by winning
two out Of three gnmes from the Saenger-
bund team last night The German club
started off well and Won the opening con-
test, with a few pins to spare, made Il des-
perate struggle IN the second game, but lost
1t, and then fell down with thui before
the onslaught of the CAROLS Ii the closing
event The last game was little short Of
murder, for the Germans were badly
whipped at the close of the first half.
Even after that point the institute five con-
tinued to sweep the alleys and the opposing
team was miserably out of it at every
stage.
The games were played at the institute
and one of the largest gatherings of spec
tators yet seen upon those alleys was pres
ent to cheer their side to victory. The i'm
portance of the match, of course, had to do
with the good attendance, since the Saen-
gers Were running close to the CAROLS for
the lead and three-time winning would
have landed them in the first hole Had
Tony Rice not done SO poorly in his second
string he would have come out with 4 con-
siderably fattened average. As it was he
dom on the part of the Carroll managers
when they induced this veteran to return
10 their ranks. German and Harlow both
helped their side materially. All OF the
Saengers had at least one bad score.
Inc visitors can attribute their victory in
the opening game to their good work In the
first two innings. Therein they obtained
their winning lead. for after that point ne
CAROLS played up well and at the close
they made a decided upward lump which
nearly landed them over the safety line
The score follows:

A BOOM IN TOY SOLDIERS.
English Boys and Girls Keep the
Makers Busy.


From the Ionlon Graphic.
One of the results of the war in South
Africa. has been the sudden boom in the de-
mand for toy soldiers at home. Young Eng
land has caught the war fever, and in this
case the symptoms are shown by the de-
sire to play with toy soldiers every morn
ing, noon and night. In the course of a
little chat which our representative had
with Mr.. Hamley of Regent street-there
are probably nearly as many toy soldiers
in Mr.. Hamley's establishment as there
are real ones in. South Africa-some inter
estinS facts came to light 1t appears that
the most. expensive toy soldiers-the big
gest, heaviest. shiniest. most highly finish
ed|are made in Germany. There is a man.
ufacturer of toy soldiers in England and.
curious,y enough, his name is Britain, but
at present the various troops. that come
marching out of his factory are not quite
so smart as those made in Germany This
may be. and probably is, due to the fact
that the industry is only a few years old
as far as England is concerned, whereas
toy soldiers have been made in Germany
almost ever since toy soldiers existed
However, the English made soldiers have
one decided advantage, over the other kind;
they are about one-third the price, and
hence they are the most popular with papas
and mamnas Just now. To satisfy the
cravings caused by the war fever various
regiments Of Boer soldiers have been man.
ufactured, and 1t Is now possible to have
