son has transferred his affections to
the Bicycle clubs star five. In the
business world he is we'll known as Il
member of the firm of II. :. German
and company. liverymen. and is one Of
the most enthusiastic horsemen in the
city.
one of the finest sets of bowling al
leys in the city was opened to the pub
lie last Monday night on Penn avenue.
The proprietor of the alleys is George
Hampe. the cigar-dealer. and when the
alleys are completed they will have
cost over $4,000. There are four alleys
and instead of all running parallel
with one another they are arranged in
two rows. end to end. The bowlers take
their places in the centre and roll in
opposite directions. This is an abso-
lutely unique arrangement but bowlers
who have used the alleys say that it
is II splendid one. Only two of the al
leys are completed as yet, but the 9TH
ers will be finished within two or three
weeks. Bobby" Wharton, the well
known local bowling enthusiast. has
been placed in charge and there is al
ready talk of having him organize n
team to represent the alleys in the
Northeastern Pennsylvania bowling
league during its second series of
games.
That bowling is increasing in pupu-
larity is demonstrated by the announce
ment that two alleys are to be erected
in the basement of the auditorium
building in North Scranton. E.Xcava-
contract for the construction of the al
eys is TO be awarded this week The
Two men who are to manage the alleys
are already we'll established in busi-
ness and they are sanguine that the
venture will be a successful one,
The Black Diamonds have now got
what may be termed Il lead pipe

Wheelmen's No. l team and the Backls
five, which are now the only teams the
leaders have TO fear, will have to 10
some tall bowling to hope to win. II
the Black Diamonds keep up the
steady, sure game they have been
rolling, they can win out easily. The
defeat of the Wilkes Barreans by the
tail-end IclkS the other night has
served to take the heart out of the for
mer. and it is predicted that they will
not be in the race from now on.
The bowling fever has spread to the
students of the Scranton High school.
and of the School of the Lackawanna,
and teams representing these two etlu-
cational institutions will compete for
honors this morning on Hampe's al
