High class bowling was almost the rule
last night in the set OF games bOwled by
the Chicagos and New Iorks IN the Plate
Printers League series on the Golden
Eagles alleys. The Chicago team won
two games after losing the first. and this
game was the New York's only high total,
s07. their other totals. however, being
considerably above the recent averages.
The bowling generally reminded one OF
the veteran league rolling. and this set
marks the best work done in the Printers
League The winners BOWED an average
of Si5 for the set.
The result of these games does not
change the position of these teams IN the
league standing. but the losers reduce
their per cent sDoints.
Hess bowled 224 as his high game. ana
this is now the league mark. and but Tor

The jockey club presents today its
usual card OF six races. with the largest
fields, so far. OF the meeting. The quality
is shade better than the average. and
as the public have had line on most of
the starters, speculation should be lively.
The feature of the card is the hurdle
handicap at a mile and one-half over six
hurdles, and a handicap on the fat at a
mile and one hundred yards to wind up
The day. The balance of the card is OF the
usual calibre, and while lacking in class,
ought to furnish good contests.

The Gallaudet baseball team defeated the

Bullet From Joe Chinn's Pistol Seriously
Wounds a Colt.

LEXINGTON, KY, April Joe Ch;nn
and John B. Todd. two prominent local
trainers of throughbreds, had fight at
the Kentucky Association race track this
morning. Todd struck Chinn blow be-
hind the ear and Chinn, drawing re-
volyer. fired at Todd, the bullet piercing
his clothes.
They had disputed over two-year-old
filly which Chinn had bought from over
ton II. Chenault, and in which Todd
claimed an interest. Todd heard Chinn had
said he was mo trainer" and upbraided
him for the statement. The result OF the
encounter may be more serious than was
the difficulty in itself. Chinn's bullet
entered the leg of u two-year-old colt, by
Russell. rendering the colt cripple
probably for life.
Downing. the owner, says he will sue
Chinn for damages and attach all his

Large Field Lined Up.
The largest field of the day lined up in
the fourth event for two-year- elght
youngsters sporting silk. Blue Peter was
tipped as one of the best horses In the
Belmont string and was consequently
made a strong fayorite. When he warmed
up he showed so full of running that the
wise ones concluded the race all over but
the shouting At post time he was heaV-
iIy-backed first choice at odds on. Tugai
Bey. Mda and Red Knight each had a
following. but they were played principal
ly for the place.
The favorite was away running when
| the word was given. and he shot out from
| the bunch so quickly that he soon opened
| up a gap of daylight. This he maintained
| easily TO the wire winning as he pleased
Mda and Prodigal Son gave chase for the
leader TO the stretch turn, where Mda
gave ii up and Prodigal Son also quit,
! Red Knight taking second place. The lat

houors. while Prodigal Son, who came
again under hard riding, secured the little
| end of the purse.
illuminate looked like such a good

| Woodtrice despite his heavy impost, had
a number of followers and he received a
| steady play from the small bettors, while
Filibuster was lacking in friends. The

and apparently out of it. In the stretch
the race resolved itself into duel be-
tween illuminate and Filibuster. and the
latter outgamed the favorite, winning in a
hard drive The weight proved too much
for woodtrice. who had TO be satisfied
with third place.
Justice the Favorite.
Because OF his good race last week
Justice was naturally selected as the
choice in the final race of the day. but
there was strong tip out on Phiima
Paxton which caused her odds to fall
from fiyes to half that figure. Obstinate
Simon was played by few, while Odds
and Ends, was nibbled at. A good start
was effected at the first attempt. Nher
the horses settled into their stride Gold
lila shot TO the front and rounding the
first turn led the field, with Obstinate
Simon and ODDS and Ends following IN

When the Jar turn was reached justice
moved UP 10 the leaders, and Odds anC

this way dozens of Marcopoulo girls
get their husbands, living together as
soon as this unique ceremony - the
picking up of the kerchief-is accom-
plished.
Mr.. Henley, not knowing of the dan
gerous custom. on seeing a handsome
girl drop her handkerchief, naturally
picked it up and gave it to her. She at
once claimed him as her husband, and
the villagers ratified her action by ac-
claiming him on the green. Mr.. Hen
ley did not, however, appreciate the
honor bestowed upon him, and de-
INJURED at taking the girl on such a
short courtship. The result was an
action in the courts. The custom was
upheld, and though Mr.. Henley got off
by paying nominal damages, he was
glad to leave MarcopoulO as soon as
possible, for the villagers were very
hostile at his rejection of their viii

lisment. Gen. Crozier has demon
strated his ability in nearly every de-
partment of ordnance, and has
shown a wide knowledge of all af-
fairs pertaining to his profession.
He was the military member for the
United States delegation at The
Hague peace conference. and assisted
in bringing about the agreement
finally reached for more humane con-
duet of war.
Gen. Crozier is a native of Ohio
but was appointed to the military
academy from Kansas in 1872. When
be graduated in 1876 he entered the
artillery, and was transferred to the
