YACHT CLUB WON
THREE STRAIGHT

In the Inter-Club Bowling League
last night on the Yacht Club alleys
the Yacht Club team defeated the
Tomochichi team three straight games.
The first game was won by 70 pins,
the second game by IS, and the third
by H. Austin led the individuals with
a score of 20S, Smith finished second
with 1874 and Austin and Montcrieffe
tied with $50 for third place.
The match was the last of the first
schedule series of eighteen matches,
or f1fty-four games. Each of the
three teams played in thirty-six games
OF the thirty-six games the Hussars
won twenty-five, the Tomochichi fif-
teen and the Yacht Club fourteen.
That puts the Hussars a winner by
good lead, Tomochichi second, and the
Yacht Club close third. The Yacht
Club team won five of the six games
played in this week and made strong
finish. The first game of the second
schedule series will be played next
Tuesday night when the Hussars will
meet Tomochichi on the Tomochichi
alleys.
Last night was the first time in
many days that the Country Boys
trimmed the Indians. 1t was In the
country too, but the Yamacraws are
used to Savannahs and are not much

Nc MURRAY EXPLAINS WHY
HE HAS NOT RETURNED

Al McMurray, matchmaker of the
Savannah Athletic Club, who has been
in the North since the latter part of
last November, writes to the Morning
News explaining why he has not re-
turned here, and telling why some of
the bouts he had scheduled did not
materialize. McMurray says:
Your article of Jan. IL came to by
notice to-day headed 'Leary About
McMurray.' 1 believe 1 wrote to the
Morning News setting out a list of pu-
gilistic contests for the Savannah
Athletic Club, and their dates, and L
would like to state that a fighter is
harder to handle than a prima donna.
l had intended to leave New York for
savannah on Jan. 10, with Tommie
Hogan, who had signified his willing
ness to meet Dan Dougherty on the
18th. Hogan's mother being at the
point of death, he wrote me asking if
/ could not postpone his bout, which
I did. This necessitated my finding
another man to take his place and 1
finally secured Ike Cohen, who fought
Feltz a. twelve-round draw in Boston.
Cohen could not leave and be in con-
dtion to fight on the 18th, so I have
shipped him and set the contest for the
night of the 22d.
Eddie Lenny was to have met Joe
F'airburn on the, 22d, and 1 sent him
articles to sign, but did not have them
returned in time to insure our getting
out printed matter for the match, but
now that l have his signature 1 will
try and get them together on the 18th.
The Marvin Hart-Jabber Casey bout
also failed by Hart injuring his arm
while training. l am not to blame
for these bouts going to the bad"
Il sent Matty Matthews to Savan-

nah to meet Owen Zeigler. These boys
in st. Louis, Hartford, Detroit, Chica-
go or Boston would have drawn a s4.-
900 house, but in Savannah they drew
as much as $500. It is easier to sell a
gold brick in New York than to induce
first-class men to believe they can get
any money in Savannah. This is no
fault of the newspapers, the club, or
the acting manager.
Il was in Savannah fifteen months,
during which time I presented to the
public such star performers as Owen
Zeigler, Jack Bennett, Tim Callahan,
Jack Daily, Eddie Lenny, Joe Fairburn,
Twin Sullivan, Austin Rice, Tommie
Feltz and others. 1 have worked
faithfully, with the aid of the news
papers. but found in the end that the
club always played a looser. No club
in the country has been as free from
scandal, crooked work, etc, as the Sa-
vannah club, and yet it seems impossi-
BILE to get an audience large enough
to pay good boxer a purse equal to
what a preliminary fighter would get
in an Eastern city.
TT is necessary with these facts be-
fore me to remain here until l can
secure some good matches that will
warrant my returning to Savannah.
and 1 am hard after the list which I
sent you previously. Mcbride has
written me, asking when 1 will return,
but what is the use of my being there
when 1 can do the work required of
me better here?
Savannah is large enough city to
support the best of talent, but it don't
Zeigler and Feltz both made their
homes there, and could not get a liv-
ing by boxing. Keep in mind the fact
that as soon as 1 can throw enough
hot air into the pugilists here, I will
be with you. and maybe 1 will come
with Lenny in a short time

Permanently from the Bicycle Rae

be for pleasure only. This was the de-
cison he reached yesterday, and as a
result the race scheduled between him.
self and Henry Beckett for the after
noon of Washington's birthday will be
declared off.
Thompson is native of Jacksonville,
and a few years since was the fastest
rider in that state and one of the
cracks of the South. He gave up rae
ing about two years ago and entered
the bicycle business, and says that he
re-entered the racing class only through
the influence of friends and against his
will. He will now give it up for good,
and expects to go to Atlanta in a few
weeks to enter the bicycle repair busi-
ness there.
The lovers of bicycle racing will re-
gret Thompson's decision, as he is a
good rider and has many admirers. He
and Henry Beckett are old rivals, and
the proposed match race between them
was D6lIlS lOOheu lOI w IQ W with COll-

Oscar Thompson, the motor PAGER
rider, will also give up riding, and ex-
poets to leave for the North in a short
time. He is one of the best pace max
ers in the country, and his retirement
will also be felt in the racing world
All of the local riders are now train

have been announced to take place

ton from Jacksonville the course will
