Jolly Fat Men Too Fast for the
Saengerbunds Last Night
some OTHER INTERESTING GAMES
A, G. Spalding Elected President
Of the National League.
B A S E B ALL N OF E s

After an almost endless chain Of victories
the Saengerbund bowling team nearly met
it's Waterloo last night. AS 1t was, the
Jolly Fat Mems five defeated the rafting
German players two out Of three games.
and though the Saengers do not lose their
position at the top of the league race, they
are closely showed by the Fat Men, whose
percentage was increased by defeating the
Germans. The match was played at the
Fat Mems alleys, and one of the great au-
diences of the season was on hand to see
the struggle between these bowling giants.
For the first time in a long time smithson
did not bowl with the home team his place
being taken by Rodrick, a waif picked up
from the old Columbia team.
The games last night were extraordfna-
rily uniform in their totals, but eleven pins
standing between the highest and lowest OF
the home team. and but twenty seven pins
between the extremes of the visiting five.
The games were finely played and the
match one of the best Of the year.
The first game was close that it was
decided by one pin. the Fat Men having
s13 to Sl2 for their opponents. Both sides
were credited with clean states in the first
frame, but two breaks fell to the part Of
the home team in the second, and the
maintained for several innings, but it was
always so slight that the teams were al
ways within hailing distance. Toward the
close the Fat Men closed the gap but tho
score was so close that the decision was
not apparent until the footing up by the
slate keepers.
The score follows:

After that President N. E. Young was
put in the chair. He declared no quorum,
but the point was raised that mo quorum
could not be declared without a roll CALL 1t
was contended there might be proxies pres

and that the meeting could continue in ses-
sion. Mr.. Young then retired
Col. ]. /. Rogers of Philadelphia was then
elected to the chair. A vote was ordered.
Brooklyn, Pittsburg. Chicago and Phila-
delphia voted for Spalding for president and
the names Of the other four magnates were
called but there was no response
The chair decided that Spalding was elect
ed on the basis of the decision of ex-Speaker
Reed on parliamentary question in Con-
gress that members leaving without being
excused should be counted as present. and
he decided that these men should be regis
tered as not voting. He ruled that Spald-
Ing had been elected unanimously.

managers of the league, as well as with
the players, and this fact is not going to
help his team next season. The discharge
Of Frank Selee by Boston is considered
grave mistake, and, naturally, the man who
takes his place comes in for great deal OF
criticism.
The Eastern and the National leagues are
quarreling over George B. Smith. the Allie
gheny ball player. Smith was in the PEN
nant-winning Rochester team Of the East
ern League this season. but in October he
was signed by New York. 1t is claimed
New York did not ask the consent of Roch-
ester to sign him. John B. Nash, one Of
the stockholders of the Rochester club, has
demanded $1,000 for the release of Smith.
When President johnson of the American
League left Chicago Monday night it was
Indian territory. Among base ball follow
ers 1t Is regarded as extremely probable
that the American Lacquer is at present in
the vicinity of New York awaiting the out
come of the National League fight and to
take part, If needed. to fix up truce with
the old league Before leaving Johnson
said he regarded Spalding as the one man
to bring peace to the warning leagues and
predicted that with Spalding's election the
fight would come to a speedy end.
A rather interesting tale developed, which
shows why Charlie Nichols has not signed
with Boston. Nichols contract last season
called for $2,400. In addition thereto he
was promised bonus of 5000 to be paid
him at the end Of the season. Notwith-
standing the fact that Nichols won more
games than any other pitcher for that club,
and that he filled other positions with
credit to himself, the Boston club refused
to pay him the bonus agreed upon explain
Ing that the season had been a disastrous
one from a financial standpoint. Nichols
threatens to jump unless this bonus Is paid
but as there is no club in the American
League which has made q bid for him
there Is but one opening, that of managing
the Kansas City club.

good play or were fortunate enough to
score.
The scoring of the Corcorans was done

his credit. and Zell, who had three Mastin,

GET'S'I'R()NG
Weakness and I'M Health
Overcome by Vinol.
We Have Seen
Lots of Proof of
This.

You Will agree with US that there Is nothing
much worse than feeling Of weakness lassi-
tude. There is need Of our telling you that
when one feels this way it is a symptom Of a dis
ordered condition Of the system.
We would like to tell every one In this city how
to get strong-take vinol guarantee.
yinol is not patent medicine. Everything con-
tanned in 1t is printed the label Of each bottle
1t does inygorate create flesh when flesh is needed
and makes rich red blood. Yinol cannot do harm
because 1t contains only the ingredients that
needed to accomplish good, namely, the active
curative medicinal principles found In the liver OF
the live cod. Yinol differs from cod liver oil mas,
much none OF the grease that tastes SO badly
and acts detrimentally the digestive organs Is
found in it.
heard to endorse Vinol do. for we know what
1t has done In many cases and where the patient
has been down and debiIitated and where the
most wonderful results have been accomplished by
Its use.
We also feel sure that many people have taken
vinol who the verge Of a severe attack
OF Sickness and instead OF suffering further pain
and misery were quickly restored to health. Here
is one Of many letters endorsing Vinol:
"As q Strengthening tonic. will gladly say that
yinol Is the best medicine ever have taken or
beard of. We have used it in our family as a
strength producer with the best possible results"
Mrs. JAMES ANDERSON. Mansfield. Ohio.
1t is because we have had so much
proof of what Vinol really does, and
because we know that everybody
who tries Vinol quickly learns that
it is delicious, that we unhesitatingly
endorse it, and agree at all times to
refund to any one the price they pay
for Vinol if they do not find it abso-
lutely satisfactory.

Another victory for Joe Cans.

At the Eureka A. C. in Baltimore last
night Joe Cans Of that city received the
decision over Bobbie Bobbs in the four
teenth round. Dobbs was not knocked out.
but was so far gone that his seconds threw
up the sponge The agreement was that
Cans was to put Dobbs out in ten rounds
or pay $50 for every lround that Dobbs
stayed after ten and forfeit the purse.
Dobbs. however, while being pretty badly
punished, at times showed some Of his old
time speed.
Cans had by far the better OF the contest
and dropped Dobbs once or more in nearly
every round, but Bobby seemed to be a
glutton for punishment and always came
back with a rush. His stamina and recu-
perative powers were wonderful, but 9TH
erwise he was no match for his opponent,
Cans did not fight as well as he usually
does and seemed bit leary Of Dobbs left
hand jabs. which landed frequently in the
face and wind. After the tenth round
Dobbs tired. and after he had been sent
to the floor several times the men behind
him saw that it was no use and threw up
