Buffalo. n Y, March 4-The largest

ness the events tonight. To-day being

record made at Pittsburg last season,
Lequesne, of the same club, received
telegram that his mother had passed
away. 1t was received while he was
rolling in his event, but the officers
thought it best to keep the sad news
from him until he had finished his
games. He wept bitterly on hearing the
report and was led from the alleys by
his team mates. Zeiterman and Pola-
chek, of Chicago, rolled 1,2l2 in their
double this afternoon and are now lead
ing in this event.
1t is rumored among the bowlerS that
Washington is to get the national tOUrn-
ament next year. Many of the officers
think that Washington would be just
the city for the event and should be
given a chance as we'll as all other
cities.

ELIMINATION OF LOADED BALL.
Cordes to Introduce Resolution at
Annual Bowling Convention.

New York. March 4-The opposition
to the loaded, or ''do-do," bowling ball
came to a head to-day when William
Cordes, of Brooklyn, perhaps the most
influential bowling authority in the coun-
try, announced that he would introduce
a resolution at the annual convention of
the National Bowling Association which
will be held next Saturday in Buffalo
calling for the elimination of this species
in all future recognized contests. ,Cordes
holds high offices in practically all of
the prominent bowling organizations
both local and national, and it is be-
Eeved he can encompass the abolition
of the phony.'
The feeling against the ball loaded with
lead has been growing for some time.
One of the most prominent manufactur-
ing firms announced recently that II
would in no way either manufacture or
repair one of these balls in the future.
Later olton Myrick was suspended from
competition in the New York chamnion
tournament for using loaded ban found
to be overweight, and the action received
wide appreciation.

EASTERN HIGH WINS.
Defeats Western Quint in Final
Game, 30 to 16

By defeating Western High School
basketball team yesterday in the boys
department of the Y. NJ. C. A., the East
ern High School quint won the high
school championship of the District.
As the Eastern five have lost only three
games this season and none of these to
high school teams, their road TO the title
is clear. Manager McCaffrey has given
the students of the Capitol Hill school a
first-class quint, and with Capt Ligon
made one of the best back fields in the
District
In the first half the Eastern boys
walked away with the team from across
the creek, their fast passing and basket
tossing being a revelation to the West
ern quint. Chase played a star game
in the first period, as did Capt Ligon.
For the losers a. Fuller did good work
The second half was a repetition of
the first until the last few minutes of
play, when the Eastern five took things
easy and gave the Western team more
show. The final score was 80 to IS.

PATRONS SCORE ROWDIES.
Polo Grounds Scene of Many Of

New York. April 1S.-Many persons who
attended the opening game at the Polo
Grounds on Wednesday complained to-
day of the rowdyism INDUCED in by spec
tators in grandstand and bleachers, who
threw newspapers and other missiles in
the faces of men and women without
fear OF getting into trouble In count
less instances women were struck by pa
per balls bigger than their heads. or
by paper clubs rolled thicker than ones
arm. Their escorts who tried to ward off
the attacks, while making slow progress
toward reserved or empty seats. were
heavily beaten with these improvised
bludgeons until their hats were smashed
and in some cases noses were bleeding
Those who know how to handle a big
crowd say that il is possible to station
enough plain clothes men and coppers
in uniform in the aisles and on the back
of the stands to suppress the rowdies By
ejecting few of the more daring Offend
ers 1t is believed that other shallow-pated
individuals would suddenly learu to be-
