CANDLEPINS FELL
FOR STATE RECORD
Nute's All-Stars Rolled Total of 1884
in Deciding Match Against the
All-Italians, Former Winning.

A match which was called the state
championship in candlepins was rolled
at Merlo Bros alleys last evening, and
the standard of playing certainly was
of championship calibre, as the winning
team, Nute's All-Stars, undoubtedly
broke state record for three-string to-
tai with a score of 1884. That is some
90 pins more than the highest previous
record made about eight years ago.
There also was some high individual
rolling, A.. Mariani getting the three
string total with $50 and "Bill" Treno-
weth getting the single string high of
l2l. Prior to last night, each team
had won a match, and on the flop OF the
coin the deciding match was pulled off
at the Merlo alleys. The result was as

Outlaw Organization Is Not SO
Much of a Sure Thing as
Some Would Believe.
MAcK's SPORTING LETTER

New York. Special: Information from
an authoritative source is to the effect
that the Federal league, despite high
sounding declarations n proclama-
tons, is not SO much of a sure thing as
some persons would hav us believe.
The powers that be in organized base
ball are better aware of the real sit
uation than appears on the surface,
which accounts for their failure to
ivory aloud"
The fate of the outlaws hinges en-
tirely on the attitude of one man, ac-
cording to word from the inner IL
ellis Of the organization. His name is
Otto F. Stifel. This wealthy ST. Louis
brewer is the one man connected with
the league who has really opened up
a purse of any Considerable size, and
last year he was lin up to his neck
not only in the ST. Louis club. with
which his name was associated pub
licly, but in nearly every other club
of the circuit. He was the life in
surance" of the outfit and came to the
rescue whenever first aid was called
for.
Several names known more or less
as those of men with money have been
coupled publicly with the outlaw league
bu 1t is now learned that in every
case one or two conditions exist. Either
MI. Interested Party has not as much
coin as he gets credit for having, or
he refuses to open up to az extent nee
essary to make things &C properly. But
Stifel has produced" in the past, and
the conditions are such now that If
he does not continue to pour out the
golden stream, things will go to smash
with the Federals-either the league
will go out of existence entirely, or 1t
will subside to the low grade affair 1t
was In its infancy. to stay there UNI
I'll IL dwfn61QQ tn nothing. f
When baseball men not in
the know wonder whether there
IL enough none behind the out
laws, all they need to do to set them
selves right is to take a look at the
procession OF wagons carrying bottled
st. Louis. Enough money IL earned
by that venture alone to finance
the entire league, which was just what
happened last rear.
Now comes word that stifel Is think
ing OF quitting the Federals. It is de-
clared he has lost his enthusiasm In
the affair and that he has changed
from an extreme optimist into q rank
pessfmist. AS a matter Of fact, he
made up his mind at one time during
the recent meeting Of the league In st
Louis that he was through and would
get out. The other 'magnates" Of the
league talked TO him until they were
suade him tc promise he would stay II
for good and all to the bitter end. bu'
he did agreNsto reconsider. He has
been reconsiderinE v 9 since, but JUS
now hts intentions, it can be stated
positively, are to quit. He may chang,
out. and It is a sure thing that every
effort will be made to keep him in line

he has to b shown" having beel
