Notes of Match.

Christmas morning and afternoon
lively and interesting matches were
played on the Keokuk Club alleys. 1t
was no regularly scheduled contest,
but simply picked teams and many Of
the bowlers made the wood fall
heavily.
The best performer OF the day was
Taber, of the Club team. In the
morning he averaged 1877 IL for two
games and in the afternoon III for
three games, giving him a grand av.
erage of ISL.
In the afternoon an irvine ox-Cox
Smith-Taber combination had easy
pickings and went 24S6 in three
games. The Keoluk Club bowlers in
this match were decidedly In form
and went well. On the opposing team
We're King, Crimmins, Sheldon, Hux-
ley and Cook, but they totaled much
less. The scores:

NEW YORK, Dec. 25.-James J.
Corbett, who was worlds champion
as a fighter and is now rated as
something as large in the Theatrical
arena, returned on the Mauretania
from six months engagement in
Europe AS the man who is depended
upon to train Jim Jeffries in his pre-
paration for a fight with Jack" John
son to decide the heavyweight cham
pionship of the world, Corbett was
met by representative gathering Of
admirers, including many of his form
er California school day mates.
On the question of his own triumphs
Corbett was refreshingly silent. He
did not care to rehearse previous en-
gagements in the ring with any of
the notables he met, but on the all
absorbing Jeffries-Johnson fight Cor
bett talked forcibly and with keen
ness of perception which added sup
porters to his theory of prize fight
training.

Bowling Averages

The past week has been featured by
excellent bowling on the part of many
OF the bowlers in the local associa-
ton. Nearly every bowler managed
70 boost his average and as the sea-
son advances still further better
averages are looked for. Crimmins,
OF the Olympian team, continues to
Lead, with 17s. Powelrs single match
average of 1876 continues to stand as
high.

One of Best Third Rasemen in the
Central Association Has Been
Finally Sold by Manager
Boyle.
MR.. zACKERT GOES ALSO
southpaw is included in Deal Which
Brought s5oo-other Sport
ing Gossip Of Much
Interest.

George Pennington, one of the best
and oldest players of the Central
Association, has been sold to the
Seattle club of the Northwestern lea
que. Pennington has been one of the
best third basemen in the league for
number of years past and was a
strong rival Of Corridens last sea-
son. Boyle also announced the sale
of Zackert, the strong southpaw. 1t
is said that the price for the two men
was $500.
Three-Eye New Rule.
The Peoria Star in commenting on
the proposed new rule in the Three-I
league has the following:
If the January meeting of the Three
Eye league magnates ratifies the ac-
ton of the committee that met in
Rock Island last week, and among
other changes in the constitution of
that body suggested that the official
scorers be hedged about with certain
restrictions and protection in the dis
charge of their duties, the league will
have introduced novel and unique
move into baseball.
The contemplated plan is that the
scorers be placed in exactly the same
status under which the umpires now
work. No manager, player or any
club official can interfere with the
scorers with impunity. The same PEN
alties that Withhold them for seek
ing to affect the umpire in his work
will apply
On the ether hand, the score can
not be connected with a club in any
manner. IS the general sense of
the provision advanced that the pres
ent conditions under which the scorer
is responsible rather to his home
club than the league at large can be
changed. Now the scorers are appoint
ed by the local baseball men in each
town, subject to the approval of the
league executive Sometimes the
scorers are more inclined to please
the local manager than any one else,
for to him he owes his position. It
is proposed to make this official in
dependent of this influence.
The supervision of the scorer is
something new in baseball and the
regulations talked of for the Three-I
league are not believed to be in eff
feet in any league in the country.
Snapper Kennedy.
Snapper Kennedy, who used to
manage Oskaloosa when that city was
in the c. A. is dickering with owners
of a Western League franchise and
it may be that St Joseph, Mo-, will
get the berth. st. Joseph is the larg-
est city in the United States without

for many OF both the older ana
younger players to follow. Of course
with woodens club the long swing is
preferable, although it is not neces-
sary to bring the club beyond par
allel with the ground.
Better be Up Than Short.
A serious mistake made by many
golfers is falling short on short ap-
proach shots, and also on long iron
shots. 1t is always better to play up
we'll for there is less chance of your
ball passing as far beyond the hole
as there is in it stopping dead far
from the green's edge. The player
who rolls dead to the hole and even
holes out once and while is one who
plays up strongly. The same is APP
piled to putting 1t is safer to play a
put strong and take the chance of 1T
bouncing into the cup than to be
weak. Especially when you need the
put a half. Short approach
shots and putting are not SO
much matter of form as they are
accuracy and sensitiveness. If
the ball is picked UP clean
ly on the approach it cannot go
wrong very far, and If the puter is
held true on the put, the shot will not
be missed many inches. On both
puts and short approach shots it is
always well to study the green and
fair green within a short radius be-
fore making the play.
Mind Hazards Play important Part.
Mind hazards often prove more
serious detriment to player than
hazards of different nature. The
local course has many of them, but
some players escape difficulty by using
an iron club on the holes presenting
such difficulties to overcome. A mind
hazard will not worry player as
much if he concentrate his mind upon
keeping his eye firmly fixed on the
ball and does not let himself be found
gazing into the deep gullies confronting
him. A bunker is often a source Of
much worry to a player, when it
should not be at all. If the player re-
members to follow through low with
his club the ball will hardly ever fail
to carry well this seemingly difficult
barrier.
Care, Rather Than Brilliance.
It is probably that more matches
are won by care than by brilliance.
Yet how few, especially the young
players can be said to give any
thought about their game It is for
this reason that tho veteran will of
ten defeat the youn~ player in the
hard tournament play, often demon
strated on our own links. 1t is often
not until he has reached his fifteenth
or twentieth year in the game that
he comes to realize the Importance
of a little care at critical times.
Y A point well made n match games
is not to be detracted by the play of
your opponent. Don't be tempted into
driving 220 yards when you we'll
know that you have reached the end
of your string when the ball carries
200 yards. If your opponent is hard
er hitte" than you, there are worse
plans than turning away while he is
making his drive; you will then have
no tendency to press your drive
The recognized champion of the
golf club at the present time is Per
dew Sheldon. His best scores Of the
year were "a and 35, both made on
the same day The former score
was made possible only by brilliant
and consistent work and may stand

when the council was called to order,
Attorney Writers Of the railroad stated
that he was still in no position to make
any propositions to the city as to how
much damage the company would claim
as be had been unable to confer with
Mr.. Fitzhugh, vice president Of the road,
on account of the latter's son dying
suddenly four days after the first hear

As&lr Fitahugh Was the acting fnAn-

certainly claim some damages, as their

NEW CHANCE FOR THAw.
May Again Have Hearing to Prove He
Is Sane.

New York, June 15-Harry X. Thaw
may have another chance to prove his
sanity in his ght for release from the
Matteawan asylum for the criminal in
sane, to which he was committed a
year ago last February after his trial
Tor killing Stanford White.
Justice VIM. j. Gaynor Of Brooklyn,
Of the appellate division of the supreme
court, granted a new writ Of habeas
corpus yesterday afternoon returnable
before Justice Mills in the supreme
court at White Plains, n. Y, on Thurs
day, june ~ at i0i30 a. m. The writ
was issued on application Of Charles
Morschauser Of Poughkeepsie, Thaw's
attorney.
Authorities win Oppose Writ
Poughkeepsie, N. ", juno 15.--News
reached here last night that writ Of
habeas corpus IN the case of Harry h.
Thaw had been issued in New York, II
became known after clerk from the
Office Of Charles Morschauser, attorney
for Thaw, had visited the Matteawan
asylum and served the writ on the SUI
perintendent, Dr.. Robert b. Lamb, eom-
manding him 10 produce Thaw in court
at White Plains on Thursday. Mr. Mors-
chauser declined 10 discuss the case.
DR.. Amos I. Baker, assistant super
intendent, said that no affidavit accom-
panied the writ.
The hospital authorities and the state
mnaey commission will doubtless oppose
the new proceedings as they have done
every step Of Thaw's fight to obtain his
liberty within the last year
When the appellate division, ten days
ago affirmed the decision Of Justice
Mills, rendered last October, denying
jury hearing Justice Gaynor wrote a dis
senting opinion holding that Thaw was
illegally detained in Alattewan, and IL
is believed to have been this which
prompted Thaw's attorney to 60 before
Justice Gavnor Yesterday.
