Notes Concerning the Game.
Like so many prancing steeds, eager
for the fray, are the members of the
ten teams of the Wheeling bowling
tournament, which will open its sched
ule tomorrow evening with fine par
ade in open carriages headed by Meis-
ters full brass band. The parade will
form on Chapline between Twenty
sixth and Twenty-seventh streets, and
VIII move promptly at eight o'clock
over the following route: North on
: Chapline to Twentieth. to Market, to
Tenth, to Main, TO Twenty Seventh, TO
Chapline, to Thirty-third, to Eoff. to
Thirty-eighth, TO Jacob, TO Thirty
ffth, to Mccullough, to Twenty-ninth,
thence out to the alleys, which have
been tastefully decorated for the occa-
sion. The scarcity Of open hacks has
caused some of the teams to get open
surries, but such teams as have sur
ries will not lose their position in the
parade on that account, but Will parade
in the order they are named in the first
weeks schedule. Mr.. Henry Kain, the
third captain of the A. A. Rioters, will
act as chief marshal in costume made
especially for the turnout by one OF
Wheeling's swell tailors.
The Teams.
The teams that are entered In this
winters tournament are mostly the
same as conducted such successful
leagues at Fette's alleys in the past,
and no doubt can be safely depended
upon to equal anything ever done be-
fore in the bowling annals of the city.
The Captains.
The captains of the ten teams are
men of prominence not only on the al
leys, but in various business houses of
long established regulations excelled
by but few. Mr. Fred Hall, who has
been selected by the A. A. Rioters to
steer them successfully through the
cold and rainy nights, has long been
known to the bowlers and conducts
first class cafe and restaurant in the
Sixth ward. Mr.. Henry Huseman, who
will handle the reins for the Foxy
CUTLER boys, has been identified with
bowling but a short twelve-month, but
promises to equal the records of much
older captains. He is employed in J.
F. MIXERS cigar factory. Mr. Ed. Cra-
yer, better known as "Speck," thinks
he will have no trouble in landing his
Columbia boys at or near the bottom,
but it can be said of "Speck' that he
rules with an iron hand. Dan Moody, the
heavyweight gentleman who will see
that the famous Sunny Brook club fur
nishes at least six men every time they
are scheduled, is no new one to any
body who ever rolled a ball, yet Dan
don't expect to land his boys much
above third place in the coming race.
Charley Henning is the name OF the
mortal that has consented to drop pol
itics long enough each week to gather
at least six jolly Rough Riders to per-
form their obligations to the schedule.
Mr.. George Beiswinger has been Sc
lected by the Terminus boys to use his
best judgment in selecting such teams
as will land them as nigh up the lad
der of fame as possible. Mr.. George
Rohrig, the appointed captain of the
Pom Du boys, is well known butcher
boy of the Eighth ward, and while
George is somewhat new to us on the
alleys, he will be trusted to handle
his boys with the best of Judgment.
Mr. H. Reed will captain the Mike Nc
kidneys. with Mr.. George Hammer as
assistant, anu DeIWeeu Iue iMO anu
their star performers, the name of
Mike Mckinney will always be found
near the top of the standing of teams.
Mr.. Bill McElroy, name that is known
to almost every man, woman and child
in Wheeling and surrounding towns, is
captain of a pretty warm crowd of
bowlers and will keep company with
Reeds team. Mr.. Walter Cochran has
been chosen by the All Alikes as man
ager, more on account of his beauty
than anything else but Cochran has
selected list of followers that won't
give him much trouble and promise to
hover near the top of the bunch.
