tournaments, but this time the Washington
boy was in grand form and he went down
the line without a defeat Advces from
Boston say that Sherman'S playing was of
the most brilliant kind, and in addition he
was at all times cool and collected, with
the result that a steady, winning game al
ways followed.
Sherman played his last game in the Bos-
ton tournament Wednesday night with
Grant Eby and won out nicely by the score
of 100 to ITO. At the conclusion of the
game number of his friends among the
onlookerS and several of the players who
competed against him lifted Frank to their
shoulders and carried him to table, from
which place he made a neat speech of
thanks.
Thursday night the last game Of the
tournament was played, De Orc and Stofft
being the contestants. the former winning
easily by the score of $50 to 20. This vic
tory placed De Orc in second place, hav-
ing won five and lost two games. Sher-
mans victory entities him to first prize,
5000 and the gold championship medal De
Oro gets $50; Stofft, 500, and Eby, $50.
De Orc has challenged Sherman to a
match for $1,000 and it is more than likely
that the Washington boy will accept. This
contest will excite the greatest of interest,
as De ORC, heretofore. has found Frank an
'easy mark" but should the latter play
in the form displayed at Boston the former
will have to look to his laurels to come off
first. 1t has been proposed that the match
consist of COO points, divided into three
contests of 200 points each, the contests
to be played in Boston New York and this
city. The dates have not yet been selected,
but a decision in this matter will probably
be reached next week
Frank Sherman has been a resident of
this city for number of years. He came
from Scranton. Pa, where he had a repu-
tation for pool playing. He conducted a
charge of the billiard room Of the Columbia
Athletic Club.

the team, and the third man is expect ed

A team of Englishmen, consisting of
Gore. Black and Barrett, visited this coun-
try last year, and they were beaten han
Oily by Whitman, Davis and Ward.
In fact, the showing of the Englishmen
was surprisingly poor. and that Is why a
much stronger team will be sent to oppose
the American experts on this occasion.
The committee last night decided to allow
Dr. James Dwight of Boston, the presi-
dent of the association, to appoint the
members of committee to take charge
of the international contest.
A notable thing about the new schedule
adopted last night was the revival Of sew
eral old and popular tournaments.

The sport at New Orleans yesterday was

1t was learned that she was not eligible

Counting Drawn Games.


For reasons which do not seem to be
founded on good grounds the late interna-
tional Journeys at Paris and Monte Carlo
do not credit the player with half the
credit for succeeding in drawing a game
If the object was to bring the drawn
games downto minimum it failed woeful-
ly at Monte Carlo for one. According to
resume of the games there as summarized
by the Brooklyn Eagle, out of the original
ninety-one games scheduled twenty-five
We're drawn on the first playing, and that
thirteen of these were drawn again on the
second playing. In the second place. it is
a great injustice to the middle and lower
class players in these affairs to keep them
from scoring the half point won, especially
so from superior player, who in the play
off is almost always winner; and the sec
ond injustice is the additional work put on
those unfortunate enough to draw. The
schedules are arranged to give one or two
days rest in each week to the players, but
when these draws are to be- replayed these
holidays are used for that purpose and it
is evident that the better player, with few
or no draws, stands a farfbetter show in
the whole tourney than those whose time
is fully employed. ny sii

The Evening Newspaper.

From the San Francisco Post.
Some explanation is necessary satisfac-
torily to account for the rapid strides
which, during the past four or five years.
have been made by the evening newspaper
press in the United States.
OF course 1t lis easy to allege that i'm
proved machinery, extended methods OF
transportation, the concentration OF popu-
lation in large cities, speed in the trans
mission of intelligence by telegraph and tel
ephone and the cheapening of typesetting
and other forms of civilized progress &C.
count for the tremendous favor into which
evening papers are coming, as well as the
consequent immense increase observed IN
their circulation everywhere; but when all
these things are cited and considered they
still fall short of accounting for the fact
that the people are rapidly beginning to
read evening newspapers exclusively.
We think the real source OF the wonder
full progress made by the evening press
during the past four or five years and
which indicates that In the near future IL
is certain to take circulation and business
entirely away from the morning press, IL
due to a combination of all these circum-
stances. improvements I'm machinery and
speed in picture-making and typesetting
have enabled the evening papers to pro-
gress morally, Intellectually and newsily.
This has developed and satisfied a natural
desire among the people. Most men like to
take paper home and read by the fireside
at night, when the family Is in repose and
time is ample. A morning paper, on the
contrary, must necessarily be perused hast
So it appears to that just in proper
ton as the evening papers satisfy the de-
mand OF tie people for news and literature.
they win take circulation and business
away from the morning papers. In nearly
every large city of the Union they have
shown q tendency recently to enlarge on
these lines Readers and advertisers are
everywhere preparing for the change.

DOWN THE ALLEYS.
Jolly Fat Men Defeat the CAROLS in
Three Straight Games.

The Carroll Institute five were given
great surprise by the Jolly Fat Men last
night in the contest for the championship
of the District Bowling League, the latter
winning three straight, and as result are
tied with the Saengerbund for third place.
Many experts have selected the CAROLS
to win the championship, but after last
nights showing the team will be doing
well to retain second place. The Jolly Fat
Men were in excellent condition, and as
result every one of the three games was
bowled over the 800 mark. Hamilton had
top score honors of the first game, and
also of the evening, his figures being 204.
In the second game Armstrong piled up
pol, getting first honors, while Smithson,
with 1s3, did the best bowling in the con-
Guiding game.
The score in detail follows:

(a) Peterborough calls this opening inferior
form of the French defense. Napier, in recent
annexation, advises retaking the pawn on the sec
ond move.
(b) 1t would have been a better developing move
to play the pawn to o. Black cannot gain the
pawn, it looks first sight for if BIKE, EXB,
and if QxP, then BxKt Oh
(c) This leads to great number Of exchanges,
with White winning the exchange.
I'D 1t would have been better for ktxBP, If
RIB then KtxB CHI. PxKt; R-K, Kt-Q5, and
with B-K3, White had the better game.
te) B-k3 should have been played here, threat
ening to gain a piece. If Kt-BI; RIB, and the

Tuesday Night.
When Frank Sherman, pool champion of
the United States, reaches his old stamp

The nature of this surprise cannot be di-

the affair in charge want to keep it a Sc
cret. Frank is due to arrive in this city
next Tuesday night, and when he walks
into the National Hotel Haley's enlarged
orchestra will play See the Conquering
Hero Comes and for the remainder of the
evening will make matters lively for the
