General Notes of the Game.

It's over! The twenty-seven week
schedule was bowled! The Wheeling
bowling tournament is now a memory
only Yes, the tournament is thing
of the past, but never before has there
been league conducted more success
fully in our city, and the cause lies
with the captains of the ten faithful
teams that composed the tournament.
At no time throughout the entire TWEEN
ty-seven weeks was there a weak spot
among the teams. From the time the
umpire called play Ball." on the even
ing of October 2, 1899, until the end
was there the least sign of failure, and
through it all there were very few
favors asked by the teams from each
other. They knew when they entered
their teams that games would be called
at 8:15 p. M, and that it required at
least five men to a team, and that they
had schedule books in their pockets
that told just what night they had to
meet their opponents in battle, and
they performed their duties like they
were never performed before in Wheel
ing, and by SO doing they have made
a record that can never be surpassed
by any tournament, even be it a hum
dred years from now.
The Race.
The race proved a battle royal from
the start and at no time had any team
cinch on any certain place in the
race, and that fact was a great factor
In keeping up the interest that caused
every bowler of the above tournament

glance at the results of the previous
nights work to find how his team was
situated. Never before had any team
such fight on hand as the Wheeling
boys had this season, for the All Alikes
lowered at their heels like grim DEATH
ever ready to take advantage of a weak
spot in the ranks of the leaders, nor
were they the only team to cause anx-
iety to the leaders, for the K X X.
boys came dangerously near at differ
ent times, and many indeed were the
shy glances cast by McElroy's men to
that coveted top notch position. The
Oceolas gained their desired position,
that of fourth, but only after they
fought out with the Emigrants from
the first week until they met each other
last Thursday night, when the Oceolas
settled 1t forever that they We're the
superiors of the Emigrants in the
Wheeling race of 1S99-1900. The Rough
Riders had easy sailing for the posi-
tim thew got and as has haen truth h
fully remarked by others, they seemed
to get more enjoyment out of the lea
que than any other team. The Kiss
ing Bugs finally landed the seventh
place honor over the All Rioters, but
only after friendly hustle. The Ken
mores and Apollos put up nice race
for last, and at times it was nard to
pick the winner, but for the last few
weeks the Apollos established a good
substantial hold that, their opponents

HIGH BRED EQUINES.
A Feature of the Remarkable Per-
Torrance Given by the Ringing
Brothers Famous Circus.


Considerable interest has already been
aroused by the announcement that Ring
ling Bros famous big circus is to exhibit
in Wheeling, Thursday, August 10. This
interest is still further increased by the
fact that the show is to open its season
here Although there will oe only one day
Of actual performances. Wheeling Will
have in effect a circus week, and the event
will be something worth remembering in
local amusement annals. Naturally there
is much curiosity to know what the circus
has to offer in the way of novelties.
Probably the most notable of the greater
features is O'Briens school of highbred
equ.nes. Embraced in this equine COM
pany are 81 of the handsomest horses ever
seen in a circus ring. Three features of
this great act are particularly notable:
the large number of horses. the greatest
company of equines ever trained in this
way, the brilliancy and costly magnificence
of the trappings, and the immense amount
of paraphernalia used in the production.
This display is given in the middle ring
This arena is especially constructed for
this act. and is carried by the show. In
stead of the usual circle Of earth, there Is
a wooden parapet. the top of which forms
a narrow circular platform enclosing tDe

eession of circular stages, rising like ter
races one above the other, and ending in
a lofty pedestal. The director takes his
station in the arena. A signal is given and
a handsome thoroughbred, with arched
neck and waving plumes, canters into the
ring. The matchless charger, Silver
King" the avant courier of sixty beautiful

A spirit of good felld wship appears
to have pervaded the VIII ceiling tourna-
ment during the winter, and while all
who participated in the !games entered
into the contests with a spirit Of

simple and not any Sordid motive
which made the success 'of the tourna-

possess the happy faculty. of distribut-
ing good cheer among all who enter
his alleys, and if there Is any bitterness
it quickly disappears. The Wheeling
League Is indebted to Ma. Fette for his
wise and considerate MAJ nagement, and
Mr.. Fette acknowledges himself to be
under lasting obligation to the cap
tains and members of the respective
teams, whose fathfulnsss made the
tournament which closed last week the
most notable ever held in this city.
Mr.. Fette has extended IAN invitation to
the members of the league to spend one

ity of most of the fighters and writes on
such topics in an interesting fashion.
Although best known as writer and
referee of boxing. Sam Austin is well up
in other sporting matters. There are few
shrewder judges of a horse, and he gem
orally has one OF two fine trotters for his
own use. AS a judge of dogs, he is known
TO the experts, and there are several tro-
plies in his house that prove that he has
bred and owned good ones. He never sends
a dog to a show nowadays for the reason
that he lost a very valuable animal, of
which he was extremely fond, while it
was on exhibition several years ago. The
animal caught cold in the drafty building
and died of pneumonia, and Austin then
and there declared he would never again
risk such fate for a dog of his And he
has kept his word, though he has undoubt-
edly missed many prizes by that course.
Ring followers VIII be interested in the
news that Jimmy Barry of Chicago the
one time undisputed bantam, or los pound
champion, has decided to enter the roped
arena once more. When the little blonde
haired fellow was fighting, he was looked
upon as the best of his weight in the world.
He defeated all the well known bantams in
this country, and then, to clinch the title,
he defeated Walter Croot, the English
champion, in a contest which ended IA
tally for the Britsher. BARR retired,
claiming that weak stomach interfered
with his training.
Barry is 80 years old and is said to look
as we'll as ever. Those who remember his
fighting prowess four years ago will be
glad to welcome him back to active ring
work. 1t is said that he will challenge
Danny Dougherty, to whom Terry Mccoy
ern has handed over the bantam cham
pionship.
