Last Nights Scores.

The When team played it's first series of
games in the Commercial League last even
ing at the Pastime' alleys and dropped three
games to the Marotts. AS result of the
three victories the Marotts assume the lead.
The When team filled the vacancy in the
Commercial League after the first night
of the season. The Reliables and Original
Eagles played an interesting series last
night, the former winning two of the
games. The Kahn and Pettis teams were
more evenly matched than any of the other
teams. and while the Kahns won three
straight the men from the New York store
made them bowl hard.
George Marott suggested a scheme last
night that should increase interest in the
Commercial League. He desires all the
commercial houses represented In the league
to contribute SIS in gold. making $50 in ali.
The money would be placed I'm a case and
exhibited each week in the show window
of the firm whose team makes the highest
score for the week. At the end of the
season the money would be divided among
the players, $25 TO the winning team IS

list $40 for the high team score, s. for high

other firms in the matter. Last nights

from early morning there was constant
inpouring of people, these coming by spe-
cial train and in every sort of vehicle
which could be pressed into service. Dur
ing the early morning the sun shone
brightly but was soon hidden behind
bank of clouds which brought with them a
chill air. This. however, cut but little fig
ure. At the fair ground gates there was
jam for admission and at times score after
score of carriages stood waiting to be ad-
mitted and thousands Of pedestrians found
their way in. Special trains were run over
the Grand Rapids & Indiana, both from the
north and south.
The Journals booth on the ground was a
point of attraction all day and there was

was continued during the day. The track
was kept lively during the forenoon with
exercising the goers of the day. Chief Of

The match between the two champions,
Miss Hecker and Miss Anthony, was the
important one OF the day. Miss Hecker
outdrove Miss Anthony at nearly every
tee and was better on her brassie and iron
shots, getting far greater distance. On the
other hand. Miss Anthony was excellent
on approaching and her putting was phe-
nomenal. She made twenty-five-yard put
at the fourth hole. Miss Anthony PLAYED
an uphill game until the fourteenth which
by winning, made her one UP. With one uu
against her in going to the last hole she
lost the chance TO get the score by a very
poor second shot The feature of this

the superb drives of Miss Hecker Not
once did they vary from a bird s-eye line
