Wheeling Sunday register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1882-1934, 1900-07-01

The opening of the second week of the
summer bowling tournament last Monday
night brought together the two high aver
age teams of the league in the c. c. C.
and K. X. K The first meeting seven
weeks ago resulted in three victories for
the Cyclers. but this time the Kobs were
loaded with strikes and spares. and took
two games of the three. The first was
hardly contest, for at no time were the
Wheelmen close, and the Farmers"
nearly distanced them. In the second
game, however. the Leweywetzels used
club on the Kobs and hammered them
like sixty. They cracked out 1,l20, while
the kobs drew only 1,043 as their share.
With game apiece both teams settled
down for the third contest of the evening
Both clubs got away in poor shape with
the Cyclers out-splitting the Kobs, allow
ing the Wainites to slowly forge to the
front. In the sixth frame they had a
comfortable lead, but two strong frames
on the part Of the Carroll Club evened
matters up in the eighth. From this on
the Kobs out-kicked their opponents and
won by "a pins.
the same evening, were not close enough
TO be interesting, but served to show the
strength of the leaders. They easily de-
feated the Georges three games, and
boosted their team average several
points in doing the trick The Henry
Georges were not up to their usual form,
in fact their work was very Indifferent.
Willie Wilhelm and Junkins led the Rough
Riders while Schambra and Thoner held
up the honor of the Georges
Tuesday evening the Osceolos and Col.
Arndt's guard came together for
a three round go to a decision. The open
ing round of the bout was decidedly the
best, as both fought hard and honors
were even when the gong rang. After
d short respite, during which both per-
formers were considerably refreshed, the
second round opened. Osceola tented
with his left and blocking a hard counter
stepped inside the All Alikes guard, and
ripped him in the solar. From that time on
the Indian was all over his opponent and
repeatedly tried for a Knockout, but was
unable to land effectively
Round g. All Alike seemed much dis
tressed while Osceola came up strong
and fresh. The Indian landed at will, but
All Alike stood the graft and came back
with an occasional Jab in the wind.
While trying to side-step the Chinaman,
Osceola slipped and the Celestial quick
~ swung a hard right on the Indian jaw
The blow lacked steam for Osceola came
back and rushed his man into a neutral
corner, where he fought him against the
ropes, and all that saved the Celestial
was his repeated clinching. The bell
found them fighting hard. The referee
gave the bout to Osceola.
The next event on the programme was
a race for yearlings, eight furlongs, best
two in three heats. Only two youngsters
faced the flag, Benwood, a brown horse
by Bellaire, out of Marshall county, and
Columbia. a piebald fily, by Chapline Hill
out of Wheeling. After scoring twice,
they got the word on the next trial.
Benwood jumped to the front, and at the
quarter had the filly beaten. Going up
the back stretch, Landers held the brown
horse back, but he showed disposition
to sulk at this treatment, and Landers
after strengthening him out in the stretch,
gave the colt his head. and he came
home with a burst Of speed that sur
prised the talent The heat was run in
926
In the second heat the FLY acted badly
at the wire, and some delay was caused
by her vicious plunging and kicking.
They scored a dozen times before the
word was given, and as in the preceding
heat, Benwood took the pole. The fllly
ran better this time and closed up on
the colt as the quarter was reached. At
the half the brown horse had increased
his lead, and before turning into the
stretch it was evident that the son of
Bellaire was too fast for the Wheeling
Ally. Landers held his horse up and he
won easily under strong pull Time,
SIS.
To satisfy the spectators a third heat
was run. and this time Landers' mount
was never headed. The brown colt ran
like a stake horse. never faltering during
the entire distance. Tire heat was run
in 943. the best time made.
Benwood will bear watching, for he
gives evidence Of great speed and stay
ing qualities The piebald FLY lacks
steadiness, but has been improving since
her first work. She seems nervous and
unable to catch her stride when racing.
1t is said that Edele caught her going the
distance in $50.
The card for next week contains num-
Der Of promising contests. Notable among
them being the "Pennant Stake" for foais
of 1880. The entries are c. c. c. by Net
tor. out of Leweywetzel, and W. 3. r. R-
BY schmid out OF Hellsfire.
