SPORTS OF ALL SORTS
High-Class Bowling On the
Palace A eys.
BUREAUS WON TWICE
LORD OF THE WINNERS MADE
TWO REMARKABLE SCORES.
President Postal on Base Ball Situa-
tion-Emersons and Tanglewood
Tie at Foot Ball.

Bowling OF high class was in evidence
on the Palace alleys last night, the Com
missioners and Bureaus of the Department
tai League putting up one of the best con-
tests ever rolled in this city. 1t was an
ordinary thing for either team to get over
the 800 mark and twice the Bureaus went
we'll over 900.
Close followers of the bowling game in
this city has been expecting a fine strug-
gle when these two teams met, and last
night the crowd that f1ocked into the Pal
ace was unusually large and enthusiastic.
Both teams had out their friends, and al
though there was no open betting, consid-
cradle money changed hands on the result.
From the very first ball to the last one
rolled the Bureau gentlemen were on their
mettle, and they way they knocked over
the pins was an eye-opener to the onlook-
ers. The first game went to the Census by
a good big margin. but the Commissioners
were not daunted. and came back with a
good score in the second and won out. In
the third. the Census bowlers went over
the 800 mark. and of course won.
Lord of the Bureaus rolled up the re-
markable score of 223 in the third game
and easily captured the high score donors
of the evening. His work during the even
ing was of the sensational sort, getting 213
in the first game. but falling back to 1874 in
the second. In the last game Lord made
strike after strike, and his splendid work
called forth uustinted praise and applause
from the onlookerS.

PRESIDENT POSTAL TALKS.
Views on New York Situation and Not
Worrying About Washington.

From Sporting Life
Owner Angus of the Detroit base ball
team has not been knitted in the back
by President Ban Johnson In the allotment
for men for next season, say the other mag
mates. Business policy requires strong
team in New York, that's all. At least
that Is Fred PostaPs view. Says the owner
of the Washington club Il don't believe
that Detroit has any cause to feel sore. II
there are any kicks to be registered 1 have
just as much right to knock any
But l don't feel sore There has been no
attempt by johnson or any one else to
give Mr.. Angus the worst of 1t. AS for
Keller, that player has said from the very
beginning that he would not play outside
of Brooklyn or New York. Mr.. Angus
had just as much Of an opportunity to get
players as any one else. and he has been
more active than any other magnate. But
I believe that he has material for good
team right now. 1t is a better club. on
paper at least, than the one that finished
one, two. three few seasons back. If
every effort is made next season to handle
the team properly and get the best out Of
it. Detroit will be in the race
Mr. Postal concluded: Mr.. LOTUS and
myself are not worrying about Washing
ton. and we haven't made half the efforts
that some others have made TO secure new
men. We feel that when the time comes
to play ball we will have all the material
necessary to strengthen our team, and we
are content. The only sensible thing to
do in the New York deal was to get to-
gether the strongest team possible. If we
are going to spend, say, $2j0.O0o to enter
the metropolis, the proper business policy
is to get the best men possible. We can
make IS in New York to every 81 In
city like Washington or Detroit. and 1t
would be obsurd to let the smaller or older
clubs take the pick Of the Pittsburg club,
for example. when the players are so badly
needed in the new club. 1t must be re
membered that there was nothing to build
