FINISH FOURTH IN
24-HOUR MATCH
Relic and Mahoney, Chicago
Pair, Captures First Money
y in a Great Finish.
SEVENTY-SEVEN GAMES
ROLLED BY EACH TEAM
Jimmy Smith Averages 204.lS,
and, with Dunbar, Cops
Second Prize.

CHICAGO, Feb. 29.-It was "A very
tired bunch of athletes who rolled the
last few balls in the Neutrality-suspicious.
endurance bowling tournament. which
ended last night at the Glenwood alleys.
At 1850 NOT less than seventy-seven
games had been rolled during the two
turns of the clock, and tired backs,
heavy eyelids and sore fingers We're
conspicuous.
The winning pair turned up in a team
of local boys. Bob Rolfe and Fred Ma
honey. Despite the fact that New York
was represented by two of the strong
est teams 1t would have been possible
to pick up in Manhattan, the north
side star and the captain of the former
national champion O'Learys found
themselves in the lead at the end by
seventy-seven pins over Jimmy Smith
n Aleck Dunbar, of New York.
Billy Richter and Harry Delorme took
third prize, and Lee Johns and Glen
Riddell. of New York fourth. beating
Matte Luecker and Dave Hamilton.
Thu finish of the tournament was one
of the greatest in the history of the
sport. Rolfe, one of the best of the
local men, and Smith, the champion of
New York, had been fighting it out for
the last eight hours, with the latter
having the advantage. Smith never let
up and rolled we'll over 200 all the way
through, but Rolfe was not to be de-
MED. and, rolling like a crazy man,
averaged 230 for the last six games
without IN open frame, and caught the
little Brooklyn wonder in the next to
last game.
Considering Rolfe had rolled forty
nine games out of the seventy-seven
and had been on the alleys continuously
since 1:45 in the afternoon, his exhibit
ton in the closing games was nothing
short of marvellous. For his entire
f%orty-nine games Rolfe averaged 202. II,
while Smith, although not getting so
many pins in the finish. had an even
better average. with 204.18. Scores:
Smith and Dunbar. 15.141.

There is some slight chance that
Longboat and Shrubb will finally settle
their differences. Shrubb, after he has
met his engagements on the other side,
will return to this country in April for
an extended stay. He has been
matched to run Johnson, an English
professional, for a big purse. AS Long
boat has been devoting the greatest
part of his time lately to trying to
lower the Briton's records, it may be
that they will get together. 1t would
be a good thing for the sport If they
did, for then there could be no doubt
as to the Indians standing.

honor at the Atlantic Union dinner given
this evening to celebrate the establish
nent of penny postage between America
and Great Britain. Speaking of the cleo
lion of Mr.. Taft the ambassador said:
THE character and antecedentS of the
Presdent-clect give the highest guaran-
tee that the most powerful and most pop
ular President since Lincoln is to have "a
iudicious and able successor. trained to
the business and quite competent to con-
tinua the great record made by recent
administrations.
Mr.. Taft was brought up in an atmos-
phere of honorable public service, and no
American doubts that his experience fits
him for his new post. The incoming ad-
ministration will pursue the same for
eisn policy with which you are familiar
1t will try to maintain fair dealing and
friendship with all nations, particularly
the perpetual friendship for the mother
country"
After speaking of those who brought
about penny postage. Mr.. Reid said that
everybody would wish success for J. Hen
iker Heatcn in his crusade for penny-a-
word cable rate.
