DuIIdlO lTIp.
King administered a surprise to the
watchers of the match pool game be-
tween himself and Frank Cohen, at
the Howard st. billiard parlors, Tues
day night, playing a brilliant game,
and winning the series by score OF
800 to 463. The prospects are, that
If he can keep the pace he set last
night, King will defeat Hard, for the
championship of the city and county,
in the deciding match that these two
players will play next week.
TEAM WILL MEET TONIGHT.
There will be n meeting tonight at
the Howard st. alleys of the players
who will go to Buffalo to take part In
the National Bowling tournament, in
January. The five men who will go
have been selected and unless their
plans are changed later, Akron will
be well represented at the National
meet. Frank Cohen will manage the
team, as he has done in other years.
BOWLING.
Barberton bowlers continue to be
invincible on the Barberton alleys,
and the misfortunes of the Akron
teams who have gone to Barberton
to play them there have been many.
It seems that the Akron bowlers have
the curves of the Barberton alleys, and
to this they attribute their defeats.
1t Is true that the Barbertons have
had but Indifferent success on Akron
alleys.
The Columbus and the O'Neils will
bowl on the Grand alleys tonight
BASKET BALL A DEAD SPORT.
Akron's basket ball teams, the mem
bers of which started the season with
Il brave show of practice and prep
aration, have lost almost all their en-
thusiasm. and ii seems that the game
has died, in this city. The High School
boys had an excellent but unfortunate
team last year.
One of the things that has prevented
the popularity of basket ball in Akron
has been the fact that there is no pub
lie hall providing space large enough
for the game, and an audience beside.
The sport is healthful, exciting, and
without the unpleasant features that
make football unpopular with a great
many people.
TWO MATCH GAMES.
In the bowling on the Grand alleys,
Monday night. the Grands defeated the
Dagues three straight games, and the
Colnmbias defeated the Maroons in
two out of three. The Maroons and
the SUBMITS bowled last night.
MAYOR WILL NOT INTERFERE
Ministers and prominent citizens of
Hartford, Conn. have entered n protest
against the McGovern- Corbett fight,
advertised for Thanksgiving. The
Mayor, however, has refused to listen
to the complaints, and says that he
will, In all probability, issue license

ing this, has caused some very heated
discussions ut Hartford.
WINTER MEET.
The winter race meet of the Cres-
cent City Jockey club will open
Thanksgiving day. New Orleans Is
already crowded with sporting men,
and the meet this year promises to be
bigger than ever The club has re-
ceived 1,2G8 entries for the races and
the stakes will aggregate $4,000.

The Kirkwoods made 1t three
straight in their exchange OF games
with the Empire team on the Main st
Alleys last night The scores Of mel
ther team were In the nature of record
breakers. Rowland and Williams
were not in the game. Barnes and ID
". Carter were substituted for them
The curve ball OF the former was not
well under control and succeeded IN
avoiding the pins quite frequently.
HUDSON DEFEATED.
Western Reserve Academy's foot
bail team was defeated by Rayer
school at Youngstown Monday. The
