is. THE CHAMPION
HE DEFEATED BRYSOS IN THE
GAMES FOR THAT HONOR.
Bryson in Poor Form and Lost First
Five Games-DiHerence of Nine
Points in Total Of Pins.

Lee Graft, champion of the Germania
Club and South Side League. won the in
dividual city championship last night by
defeating r.. II. Bryson. champion of the
Marion team and the indianapolis Bowling
League. The two men were tied when the
individual championship series ended two
weeks ago. and the games last night were
to decide which one was entitled to the
championship. Nine games were played,
and the one winning FIVE of that number
was TO be the winner. Graft took the first
five games and settled all disputes.
The games created more interest thar
any that have ever been played i'm Indian
apolis between two bowlers. and the City
Club was crowded by the friends of the
two bowlers. Nearly every member of the
Marion team was present to root for Bry-
son. and CRAFTS team mates were also
there to applaud their favorite. Many
wagers were made on the outcome of the
games, and one bet was made that a score
of $50 would be made during the nine
games. The man that made the wager lost.
but he came close TO winning, as Bryson
made a score of 246.
While Graft won the first five games and
took the eighth. making six out of nine, he
only beat Bryson by nine pins in total pins
made during the evening. the score show
ing Graf 1.713 and Bryson 1.703 for the nine
games. CRAFTS average was 100 3-9 and
BrySOn's average was lS9 SO.
In the first five games Bryson rolled in
poor luck, which. coupled with a seeming
nervousness caused his scores to be too low
TO win when victories should have been
registered by him in order to have a fight
ing chance for the championship. He
rolled balls down the alleys that looked
good for strikes. but eXasDerating splits
resulted. He also missed several spares.
and during the first two games he missed
four single pin spares, a record for him.
The highest score he made in the fist five
games was $50. On the other hand. Graft
rolled a good anne and. coupled with luck.
managed TO keep in the lead throughout the
first five contests. Bryson recovered his
form in the sixth game after 1t was too late
and won by a good margin. In the seventh
game he rolled 246, while Graft made but
los. The eighth game looked like Bryson's.
but in the tenth frame Graf left the $40
pins up and made the spare on a lucky
rebound. winning the game. Bryson easily
won the ninth game. The scores were as
follows:
Graf ........el7 lSi 2S 197 lsi $50 lss 23 iss

FORT WAYNE, Ind, May 16.-lndian-
apolis went dow before Fort Wayne to-
day by a score of 5 to 2. 1t was the most
brilliant game of the season. Fricken, who
won the first of the series for Fort Wayne,
was again in the box and was even more
Of a puzzle than ever to Watkins's men. He
held them down TO six hits. three Of which
were t~wo-baggers and the others scratches.
In the eighth. at a critical point. he fielded
the ball to the second baseman, who threw
10 first. making a lightning double play.
Alloway pitched good ball, but the hits
were lucky and counted for the home team.
G.. Miller spoiled a chance TO increase the
score by leaving third base before the fly
in center was caught. He was called out
by the umpire, which raised a commotion
threatening the peace for IA time. as the
crowd did not catch the reason for the de-
cision. Mclaughlin, however, stood firm.
He was. in the main, fair. Score:

A NEWSPAPERS STRENGTH.

A good newspapers strength is
shown in its power to organize and
lead the best public sentiment,
i'll emergencies. But the great
usefulness of the good journal is
its quiet inhunce for higher public
ideals in politics, in social life, in
legislation Such a journal does
not expend its force in manipula-
ting ward caucuses, it strives for
such culture in the people and re-
straints of law as will insure
honesty and far play in all eau
cuses and conventions and cleo
ions. The best infunces are of the
silent and continuous order: 1t is
what a great and enlightened press
has done in a term of years, that
entities it to the confidence, respect
and support Of good people.

THE CHEAPEST MAN.

THE cheapest man ] ever knew"
said the postman, according to the
Indianapolis Sun. His name
was John Smith, and he was cheap
er than pins on bargain days. He
used to get letters from his broth
er-in-law, and would open the en-
velope by holding il over a tea
kettle. Then he would take out
the letter and read it, write an an
swer, put the answer in the same
old envelope, and seal it up again.
This done he would take it to the
postoffice, explain that the letter
couldn't possibly belong to him,
and he didn't want to open anoth-
er man S mail. Of course, as his
brother-in-law's tive-day return
card was Oh the envelope, the
postoffice officials would send it
back"

ments in the Chinese situation.
Just as soon as proper transporta-

the United States troops will be
withdrawn from Pekin except one
company of the 9th infantry. This
company will act as a legation
guard. After the withdrawal of
the United States troops General
Chaffee will go to Manila and will
succeed General Macarthur in
July. The action Of the United
States in withdrawing tie troops
will be taken by other nations to
mean that we are anxious for q
