GOVERNOR LIKES
PRIZE FIGHTING
NEW EXECUTIVE OF CALIFORNIA
EXPECTED TO REVIVE MAN.
LY ART ON COAST.

NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-Sporting
men in this city received a c5nfi-'
Dental tip to-day that the fighting
game Is to be revived on the coast.
Horse racing. however. Is likely to
encounter hard knocks after the new
California legislature assemblies. The
goyernor-elect Of California, Hiram
johnson. favors high-class boxing
bouts. and has been a, frequent VS.
itor to the San Francisco Athletic
Club when the program was particu-
larry good. But he cannot see the
bank tils." and it IL understood that
one of the big features Of his first
message to the California legislature
will be recommendation that
amendments be passed to the anti
gambling law. which will effectively
put an end to betting on horse rae
ing In the State.
1t Is because OF this knowledge
that the minority stockholders In ii
Santa Anita track, headed by J. l..
Holland. want meeting pulled off
there this winter before johnson kills
the racing game.

GEM Settlers WIN
OVER PLUMBERS
JEWELLERS BOWL GOOD, CONSIST.
EMIT GAME AND COP SERIES.
RIVAL LEAGUE RUMoRED.

High class bowling of the consistent
kind that brings home the bacon won
three games for the jewelers. over The
Plumbers in Wednesday nights game
in the Richmond Bowling League.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
gem- settlers COPIED all three games. 1t
was no cheap victory. for the pipe
tappers were hot on their heels with
scores that would be credit to any
team. The jewelers. bowled some good
scores. notable among them being 1873
by Bailey In the second and fSS by
Williams in the third. Delaney rolled
pretty and consistent game for the
Plumbers.
Members OF both teams were ratified
at the start by the deafening and
nerve-w racking noise made by the
many bowling enthusiasts who were
on hand to cheer the teams. The crowd
was the largest ever seen at a bowl
ing event In Richmond and there was
no minute during which the large
thronE was silent.
The applause and cheering reached
Its height when 1t was announced that
q silver trophy cup would Ire awarded
the team finishing highest In the
league. The cup will be donated by
Tic llHieD- DlSpAuCU. Otnef HAuOsoHlc
prizes will be given by Richmond mer-
chants anxious to stimulate the great
indoor game.
The great interest manifested In the
new league and the large number of
bowling enthusiasts who turn out to
witness the games has already demon
strated the fact that there are suffi-
Gent bowiers now In the league to
make up six more teams. and there Is
strong probability Of a rival league
being formed. This could serve only
to improve the class of bowling In
Richmond. develop better PIN spillers
and enhance the Capital Citys chances
OF sending a on-two-three man to the
bowling tournament at Buffalo.
The formation Of the second league
IL being strongly considered. and there
Is little doubt that six teams can be
found to enter II.
Wednesday night Captain Whitman.
OF the Times Dispatch team. announced
that he had received and accepted a
challenge from Captain w. L. Birsch.
of the Blackstone bowlin~ team. The
game will be rolled on the Newport
alleys Thanksgiving night and should
attract record breaking bowling
crowd.
Following are the scores of Wednes-
days game and the standing of the
teams thus far:

II given sufficient support, imam
ciai and moral, to warrant the VEN
ture, q Richmonder will start an
indoor ice-skating rink in tbs capital

Indoor ice-skating would be n,th-
Ing new in Richmond, for your grand
father and mother probably courted
on as fine rink as was ever started
in this country. 1t was ioeated on
the site where Broad street depart
ment store now rears It's proud

Therefore. it Is believed by n sport

ness to provide amusement for young
and old In Richmond will I've suffi-
GENTLY encouraged to start the rink.
He IL looking for a suitable build
ing. and PROBABILITIES OF support. II
he gets both. the rink will be estab-
lished. and no longer Will mothers re
made to fear and tremble when their
boys and girls talk OF ics skating.
The indoor rink would not oniv make
for safety. but provide better skat-
ing. the floor of the building being
coated with a thin. yet solid. sub
stantial and smooth layer of ice. In
addition to this advantage tbs rink
would be nearer than the rivec ano
lakes around Richmond. and when
the hands or feet OF the skaters got
cold. all they would have TO do would
be to HE themselves to rooms In the
building and sit beside stoves or ra-
diators-
Cleveland's Ice palace - not only
place of amusement and recreation.
but one OF the sights Of the F,rest
City. There seems no good reason
why the indoor rink SHOULD nat be
esta blished and made to furnish sport
and entertainment for the thousands
OF ice skaters In the city and profit
to the promoter.

OF the Yale experts concede that the

Yale has no such wealth of sub

ing parliament to smithereens, he
was so careless as to allow himself
to be arrested. This was called
the "Gunpowder Plot" Guy and
several of his fellow conspirators
were hanged, and, according to
the pleasant custom of the day,
were drawn and quartered and
hung up to dry by piecemeal in
various public places.
Ever since then, on the 9Th of
November of each year, the boys
of old England have celebrated
."Guy Fawkes day" by burning
Guy Fawkes in effigy.
These effigies have been called

They look it, too. They are all
ways dressed up in the oldest and
most fantastic clothes obtainab Bile,
so that the undes rable citizen
they represent may be made to ap-
pear as ridiculous as possible.
Hence it becomes clear as to
where the significance of the
phrase "a perfect guy" comes
from. A guy" naturally, has
come to eman a person ridiculous
