SAVANNAH WON STATE BOWLING
CHAMPIONSHIP FROM ATLANTA
Defeated the Crescent Team by Fifty-four Pins

In an exciting bowling match last
night the Savannah team defeated the
Crescent team of Atlanta, the champion
+aam of the state, by 54 pins. The
match consisted of three games and
the teams were composed of five men
each, the Savannah players being pick
ed from the three teams of the TrI-
club Bowling League of this city and
the Atlanta men from the Crescent
Bowling Club of that city. The Tomo-
chichi Club alleys, where the match
was played, was packed to it's utmost
capacity, standing room on the backs of
benches and perching room upon the
steps and other high places being at
a premium.
Long before the match commenced
the place was filled with nearly an
equal division of admirers of both
teams, giving evidence of the high
spirit with which they applauded the
good plays of each player as he scored
a strike or made a difficult spare. AS
the game progressed the enthusiasm
grew in intensity and through the last
five frames of the third game the ex-
cited audience, first one side and then
the other, kept up a continuous cheer.
Both teams were in good fettle and
rolled up good scores in each game.
the first game of the visitors being
the pOOrest< scored in the match. But
they eVened up in the second game
and tagged on close thereafter to the
finish, the match belonging to either
team unMl the first two men of each
team had bowled their last two
frames.
The Savannah team won the first
game by 56 pins. The Atlanta team
having played a little slow the pros
poets for favorable results of the
match for the home men were bright.
In the second game, however the
visitors let out their business arm and
by a series of very good scores finish
ed 50 pins ahead of the Savannah men
and put the total score pins to their
credit. The prospects were not 20
roseate then, for it was easily seen by
the home folks that they had to work
in a pace much faster than they had
put up in either of the preceding
games in order to keep here the
championship hOnors of the state,
which the visitors brought with them.
They got together, however, like each
of them have done with their club
teams in memorable games in the sea-
sons of the Tri-Club matches, and
proved themselves equal to the occa-
sion, in the third game rolling up the
excellent score of 924 pins, total, but
not by any means showing up the
visitors badly, for they stuck close
all the way through the run, and

NEW FEATURES
MARK HORSE TRADE

To be "stuck" in a horse trade is a
fate so common that like the disagree
able mother-in-law, the Reuben in
town, the pies that mother made, and
the abbreviated bathing suit, it has
done stunts in the comic papers so
long that it is now not even a joke,
yet a horse deal that occurred in Sa-
Vannah presents some new and anus
ing features.
An animal Of the equine persuasion,
which was reputed by its owner to
have all the desirable qualities imag-
Unable was disposed of by the popular
method Of ticket in an envelope. One
of the purchasers of a ticket secured
the prize for the ridiculous sum of SO
cents and felt so good over his luck
that he forthwith blew his friends to
the extent of $575 and still felt good
thinking how much ahead of the game
he was.
HE ordered the horse sent to
livery stable, where it was taken and
where it remained for just week.
while it's new owner paid board and
figured how much he was going to
realize when he sold the animal. Yes
terday he ordered it taken to the sale
stable, but alasl old age and general
disabilities had so weakened the nag
that when led from the stable it fell
in the street. Being valueless to it's
owner and a burden to itself, Sergeant
7. G. Murphy was sent for and bull
let from his pistol at once ended the
life of the animal and it's owners
dreams of a large profit on his invest
ment of 80 cents.

Before the Savannah Athletic Club
tonight Herman Miller of Baltimore
will meet Jack Ryan of Brooklyn in
twenty-round contest for a decision.
Marquis of Queensbury rules will gov
ern with the clubs modifying restric-
ton that both men shall break clean
at the command of the referee. The
main bout will follow Immediately
after the preliminary, which will go
at 8 o'clock and consume about thirty
minutes.
Both men are in the pink of con-
dition and look a good deal more
healthy than the most fetching pic
lures of people whom breakfast foods
have made powerful. The consensus
of opinions of those who have seen
both of them work and have observed
them closely is that they are very
evenly matched and possess the same
good qualities Both have trained
hard, conscientiously and scientifical-
ly and both are about as near their
possible perfect condition as they
could get in years of work or will ever
get. 1HelI dCllOllS dIe dS AiIiDo1 Slllu
alive as is within their ranges of pos
sibility and both have the correct,
necessary knowledge of their use.
Miller was out early yesterday morn
ing, as has been usual and added on
sufficient distance to fittingly close his
training work. In the afternoon he
laid it over his bag, trainer and sub
stitutes with the gloves and again
cooled out with decreasing dumb-bell
and gymnastic work. The swimming
tank was repaired to at the finish and
a thorough rubbing down followed.
When he finished he had done as

much as he should have and felt the
effects. At supper he did himself
proud and showed his excellent condi-
ton. He will take a walk on the road
this morning to keep limbered, and
spend the rest of the day in resting
for the bout.
Ryan went through his usual road
work, adding enough, too to that part
of his routine, so that it would fill in
to it's proportionate extent the full day
he expected to work. After his return
to his quarters he enjoyed a thorough
rub down, and remained quiet until
dinner. After dinner he went to the
club hall and held a heated seance with
his bag. Afterwards he entered the
ring and took a fall out of several
local boxers of repute. Then he taper
light exercise until his labors had been
concluded. He, too, showed up on
schedule at the supper table and han
died himself manfully. He will spend
to-day quietly.
What Miller says of the bout: I'm
in as good condition as 1 could possi-
bly, be. I'm very strong. l know
Ryan is a good man and have the nee
essary respect for his ability. / am
going to make it warm. If I lose L
will acknowledge Ryan the best man
and let it go at that"
Ryan said: "I am in prime condition.
The climate has agreed with me Won
derfully. 1 do not think 1 could be
any stronger l know 1 could not
have trained better. The bout to-
night will be strong one. Miller is
a good man, and 1 know there will be
no easy time for anyone. We will
know who is stronger after the bout"
The preliminary will be between
Jack I9arns and Clarence Hankerson
for eight rounds at 125 pounds Both
are young and live and we'll known in
local circles.

Opening of savannah Coliseum
Will Attract Large Crowd.
1t is expected that Jack Prince will
reach the city to-day from Atlanta
and begin at once to prepare for the
orening of the Coliseum tomorrow
night. Nothing was heard from Prince
yesterday, but the mixup at the At
lanta track will not cause postpone
ment of the races here.
Bobby Walthour escaped injury in
the spill at the Atlanta Coliseum, and
will ride with the other fast ones in
Savannah. But for the accident wal
thour would have crossed the tape first
and the race would have gone to his
team. Nat Butler, who was given
first money, has ridden at the Colise-
um track here and is under contract
to ride for Prince in the South. He
VIII be seen this season at the Colise-
um.
The press accounts of the fight that
followed the spill at the Atlanta Col
iseum show that George Leander
the fast sprinter who claims Chicago
as his home, was knocked down by
one of the Bedell brothers. but Lean
der has never claimed to be a fighter.
he does, however, lay claim to the
title of the fastest sprint man in the
world and has made good wherever
he has appeared. Leander was not
badly damaged in the encounter and

HIMMLER AND JEFFORDS
BOUT ASSURED.

The contest between Jim Jeffords
and Chris HimmIer before the Savan-
nah Athletic Club, April 20, is now as
sured and the patrons of the club who
have been looking forward to this
bout for a long time will be happy to
hear it. Jeffords has signed the
articles for the bout and Billy Wilson,
who has been looking out for the
match in New York, has sent them on
to Himmler for his signature. In
recent letter to the club Himmler said
he was ready to affix his signature to
the contract as soon as the papers ar
rived and as he has placed a forfeit
of $50 with the Morning News to meet
any man of his class that the Savan-
nah Athletic Club might pick for him
the contest is doubly assured
That is a contest which the Savannah
sports have been hoping would be ar
ranged for many days and the prepar-
atory work of the men will be watch
ed with unusual interest and the bout
will command wide attention. Both
men are well known in the city and
their records are familiar to the fol-
lowers of the sport here. Himmler
was here a few months ago to meet
JACK OOlieT' ana lett a most favorable
impression. He is by no means as old
in the game as Jeffords but his record
is a remarkable one and he is now
looked upon as a promising candidate
for championship honors in his class.
He is a clean, clear cut athlete, of COM
manding appearance, and looks every
bit the good man his friends claim
him to be.
Jeffords is a a-sparring partner of Jim
Jeftries, the champion heavyweight of
the world, and knows the business
from the beginning to the end. He is
we'll up in his class and good man
in every inch of his make up. He is
in excellent general condition and it is
freely admitted by Himmler men, as
is claimed by his admirers, that Him
mler will have to move fast to win
and connect all his reserve machinery
for action. Both men will no. doubt
be on the grounds within week and
begin to put on their working TRIM
mings. Being heavyweights, of the
class better known as light
weights, they will not meet at any
specified weight for a heavyweight
may be as heavy as he wants to.
