It is not often I bother rou, Mr. Edi- 

 tor, Ti-ith any .sporting news or bowling 

 scores, but liaving attended a tourna- 

 ment game last night I feel proud to 

 recount the prowess of tlie five athletes 

 wlio call themselves the Florists in the 

 ■"Big Five" tournament now going on 

 in this city. The '"Big Fives" are ten 

 teams of five men each, and the tourna- 

 ment began in October, and will last till 

 April. Some of the teams are the strong- 

 ■est in the country and include Champion 

 Eddie Gebhardt with an average in 

 thirty games of 202, and mar.y other.-s. 

 The Florist team is in sixth place, but 

 •coming fast. Last night they took two 

 •out of three games from the "Oppor- 

 tunes, ' ' a team any one of the five of 

 •wlioin could give George Asmus or Mr. 

 Wilcox a terrible laying out. A few of 

 our florists might call around on the 

 nights our boys play a match. I am 

 sure it would encourage them. If this 

 team holds together, it's all off at St. 

 Louis and interest will center about in 

 who will be second. As I sat watching 

 the foul line last night I thought what 

 an entertainiug thing to have instantane- 

 ous photographs of tlie men taken at the 

 instant of delivery and the few following 

 seconds and then reproduced on the bio- 

 graph. .Staid old business men were 

 playing there in a business men's league 

 and the attitudes they put themselves in 

 to watch the results of their effort could 

 not have been more earnest and serious 

 if they were guiding the launching of a 

 700-foot vessel of their own building. 

 Here is the score of the florists:

I regret to tell you that fire destroyed 

 the shed and the ends of three houses 

 ■of Frank B. Lewis, of Lockport, one day 

 last week. The city water supply was 

 very inadequate and the fire had done 

 much damage before it was subdued. A 

 great amount of stock was frozen and, 

 worst of all, no insurance. This is ton 

 bad.
