SOME SPORTING CHAT

NEW YORK. December 24-How per
fectly abslrdly so-caIled compilers of sta
ustics group many OF their facts in ro-
cording the events OF season.
In the list OF football fatalities and
injuries for example, everything from
the fall Of % stand TO the running away
OF pony was held responsible for the
killing of players. out OF the total list
OF deaths. il was subsequently ascertained
only one-third were really the result OF
accidents on the field during play.
Now some one has complied list Of
fatalities Que to baseball. Here follow
q few which are utterly absurd under the
classihcations allotted to them. For in
stance:
Butler. Peck-Pitcher; killed by cars at
Jackson. Tenn. February 10th.
Farr. Herbert-Former star pitcher Of
Beloit College killed in mine accident at
Angle Point. Cal

Won't Have Loaded Balls.
The National Bowling Association is liv-
ing up 10 its promises In the matter Of
rules One Of the most important matters
determined upon IS that no loaded ball
shall be used in contests sanctioned by the
association. Rule 10 OF me New York
Bowling Association was changed to read.
THE ball shall not exceed twenty-saven
inches IA circumference nor exceed sixteen
pounds in weight. and must be made
wholly OF one substance. with the excep-
ton OF tbs finger holes. which may DO
lined with cloth. rubber or papier mache."
Another rule is made 10 provide FOR
alley propretors having on hand pair OF
scales and a measuring ring to ascertain
whether disputed balls are regulation or
not.
A new rule providing that bowling
club must meet at least once every two
weeks on alleys Of which said club IS
the owner or lessee. instead OF the one
week clause which is now in force, may
materially anect some OF the club men,
bers OF the National Bowling Association.
The times dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1903-1914, 1906-12-25

il IS believed. however. that the New York
Bowling Association rule may stand With
out condition for the weekly meetings.
but II IS likely that the local organiza-
uon VIII change the rule 10 conform 10
that Of the national body.
The loaded BAH never has met the idea
or craftsmanship that has been IN evil
dence IN Eastern bowling circles.
10y the way. II is rather amusing 10
note the "raps' that are given the new
association at every opportunity by the
paid representative OF the manufacturers

GREAT DAY JUDGMENT.
Forepaugh-SeIIs Show
Will Be in Vinita
on Friday

Friday next will be exhibition day
for Forepaugh-Sells circus. Friday
the rare, unique and wonderful things
that have been promised on paper will
become reality. The airy riders
who, in diaphanous skirts, have been
piruoetting on the expansive backs of
tremendously speeding circus horses
on the bill boards will be seen In all
the gorgeousness Of tulle and seduct-
i've smile; the elephants will copy
their pictured acts Of comedy and go
them one better.
Captain Webbs two companies of
trained seals and sea lions will show
the wondering world that in
to learning new tricks the circus seal
is died-in-the-wool expansionist; the
contortionist VIII proceed to disen-
tangle himself from the knots he tied
in his responsive limbs last year; the
acrobatic family, in attire at least,
fresh from the ball room, will turn
dizzy summersaults in defiance of long
dresses and swallow tail coats, and
the clown will work off his time hon
ored comedy on the confding aud
ience.
There is nothing on earth in the
amusement line like the circus 1t is
the peoples show par-excellence. The
expert knows what is coming every
minute of the show, but he wouldn't
have it changed for worlds The
very conventionalism Of much Of the
performance is what makes it so de-
lightful. The merit in big circus
such as that of Forepaugh-Sells is in
the fact that everything inthe show
is the very best Of the kind. There
must inevitably be riding acts, but
the riders are the leaders of their pro-
fession.
There must be acrobats, but the
acrocatlc artists and aerialsts are
gathered from the underworld, and
are the best that money can secure.
1t is this superiority in the quality of
the performers that makes the Fore
paugh-Sells circus the great instltu-
tion it is. 1t is colossal affair, but
mere immensity would not suffice
without great arenic performance to
sustain the interest OF the public. A
great deal Of preliminary interest has
been aroused by the coming of the
show, and circus day will be a great
day in every sense of the word

TALKED SIDEWALKS.
DID NO BUSINESS
Council Seems Unable to Do Anything
to Remedy the Present Uosatisfac-
tory Condition in vinita

The city council met last night in
regular session. All the councilmen
we're present save Aldermen Badgett
and Frayser. There was but little
business transacted. There was con-
siderable discussion of the question
Of sidewalks, but so far as the men,
bers of the council could see nothing
can be done to hasten matters. The
new law passed this year by congress
leaves the subject Of the compulsory
construction of sidewalks In Just
about as unsatisfactory shape as it
was before. Probably nothing can be
done until the territory is organized
as part Of the state of Oklahoma,
when surely better laws will come IN
to force.
A resolution was passed giving to ]
the Republican club all concessions in.
