BOWLING BATTLES.
RETURN OF THE BoWLERs.
Course Of Edward Meyers is Stoutly
Defended.

The Washington bowlers who went to
the American Bowling Congress at Louis
vile have returned to this city much pleas
ed with the fact that Washington was
given representation on the executive COM
mittee. Although the teams were not so
successful in winning prizes as at Cleve-
land and Milwaukee. they are satisfied
with the selection OF Delegate Edward
Meyers to be a member of the executive
committee. He is one OF the most enthusiast
tic OF the tenpin devotees In the city, and
has worked hard for the success of the
sport. The members of the local delega-
ton do not feel the least bit pleasant re-
garding the publication in Philadelphia
newspaper that Mr.. Meyers "double-cross-
ed" the bowlers from the City of Brotheriy
Love while at Louisville, when 1t was
stated he induced the local bowlers to vote
for st. Louis as the next scene for the
American Bowling Congress after he had
promised to vote for Philadelphia. Mr..
Meyers, during the congress at Louisville,
worked for Philadelphia as the city for
the bowling congress in 1907. so it is
stated, and it Is believed that though
western man. he viii ally himself with
the eastern section in the event OF a split

Ivan was BADLY cut up about the face and
ear.
Russell Had Stamina

Russell's stamina was another remark
able feature. Sullivan scored enough hard
blows to HIS body to have knocked out an
ordinary boxer, while the jaws of Russell
were the receiving end of some desperately
hard left and right swings.
As had been expected, the battle was a
great one. Though not a clean knockdown
was scored in the entire fifteen rounds.
there was not round in which Doth men
failed to g1pe and take punishment Rus
sell had a decided advantage In reach ana
proved to be very clever two-hand lighter.
He proved 30 be better boxer than Sulli-
van, though Sullivan was the stronger man
and had a shade the better OF the battle.
From the start to the finish of the fifteen
rounds they were pounding each other hard.
Russell had been accustomed to battles OF
six rounds duration, but had been condi-
toned this time to go the fifteen-round
limit, and 1t was well he was.
Both Men Bruised
Both men were bruised about the face and
body, At times Russell looked as though
he was about all in, but he would brace up
and do surprisingly good work.
There was no one round, excepting pos
sibly the second, in which Russell had q
decided advantage. Sullivan had the better
of several rounds. Sullivan's best round
was, the seventh The pace at which the
Hen fought was TeIldTkdDly IdSt anu IL
told ON each as the fight neared the if
tenth round
Sullivan boxed better than usual though
this did not show so plainly as It would
have done had he been up against less
clever man than INK. Not only did the
two men fight as hard as they could. but
they boxed cleanly, obeying the orders OF
the referee. At long-arm work Russell was
especially clever. Sullivan, when he could
get inside Russelis guard, pounded the
PhfJadelphians body hard and his friends
cheered him. Both proved they could take
as well as give punishment At the end 1t
was believed that IL the fight could have
gone to a finish Sullivan would have won.

No Records for Duffey.

NEW YORK. March 29.-Judge Fitzgerald
If the United States Supreme Court yester-
day denied to Arthur F. Duftey an injunc-
tdon against the Amateur Athletic Union
ana James e. Sullivan, it's secretary, to
prevent the expunging Of Duffey's PERFORM
ances from the official lists of amateur
records and to compel their restoration.
Judge Fitzgerald sustained the position
taken by Barlow s. Weeks representing
the Amateur Athletic Union, that the or
ganization was voluntary and not amenable
to Injunction where property rights were
not threatened; that no Injunction could be
granted to RESTRAIN an action already taken,
and that Duffey's own statements proved
that he received compensation for his ath-
letie ability since 1896 in direct violation Of
the rules of the Amateur Athletic Union,
and that therefore his performances subse-
quent to that date were not entitled to any
recognition by the Amateur Athletic Union.

A TRUST" OF DIPLOMATS
Duke of Orleans appears at Con-
ference at AlgeciraS.

Following the visit to Algeciras Of ]. Pierpont
Morgan, who explained 10 the members Of the
congress whom he met at the Hotel Reina Chris
tina that he was anxious to see a trust Of dipo-
mats at work, came the Duke Of Orleans with the
duchess, and a gentleman and lady in waiting
They arrived on board their yacht. and their pres

we'll afford to ignore the duke. who is brother Of
their queen On the other hand the duke is in
open conflict with the French government, which
he is avowedly conspirng TO overthrow. and is an
exile from French territory.
For the diplomats assembled at Algeciras TO
show him too much honor was, therefore. calcu-
lated TO afront France in manner to render rela-
uons with the French delegates unpleasant The
awkwardness Of the situation however was in a
measure relieved by Ambassador Henry White. the
head Of the American delegation. Nj White. who
had known the duke in England. not only well
coined the French pretender n Aigeciras like an
old friend. but also made it his business to present
the various members Of the congress to him. that

duke and finally gave dinner in the public din

honor and IN that OF the duchess. 10 which, Of
course, the French ENJOYS were not invited Every
one breathed more freely when the Orleans party
took its leave, and the opinion was expressed that
the pretender had once again furnished a demon
stratiou Of his notorious absence Of delicacy and
tact by coming 70 Algeciras the one place Of all
others from which he ought to have kept away.
Ambassador White seems 70 have done most Of
the entertaining at Algeciras. his dinners being
