THE BOWLING TOURNAMENT. 



This great annual occuring meet of 

 the sporting enthusiasts of the S. A. iC 

 toolj place at the Grand Alleys, Cin- 

 cinnati, on Thursday afternoon and 

 it was, as usual, late at night be- 

 fore the contests were finished. 



There were more than 40 prizes 

 ranging from diamond medals to safe- 

 ty razors. The Baltimore team cap- 

 tured the first prize, with Chicago 

 second and Cincinnati third There 

 were but 32 pins difference between 

 the three teams. Charley Graham, 

 of Cleveland, won the diamond medal 

 for the highest individual score. The 

 Chicago team made the high score in 

 any of three games; Baltimore in the 

 first two games. Graham, of Cleve- 

 land, won the prize for the greatest 

 number of strikes, and Gibson, of 

 Philadelphia, won the the prize for the 

 greatest number of spares. The five 

 highest men in the singles wer'e Kas- 

 ting, 360; McKellar, 351; Washland, 

 350; Shaffer, 344; and Oleson, 342. 

 Jatnes H. Stevens, of Chicago, the 

 crack bowler of the S. A. F., was 

 matched for a series of 11 games with 

 Bob Plumber, of Cincinnati, for $500 

 a side. The contest was very close 

 and attracted a great deal of at- 

 tention. The florists were not slow 

 in backing their champion, and the 

 public was just as eager to stake its 

 money on Plumber. This is the sec- 

 ond contest bewteen the two meu, the 

 other one having been played in Chi- 

 cago about a year ago. Plumber won 

 the series.

phia. We took the matter up with the 

 leading express companies and it 

 transpired that the American Express 

 was the leading company in this work, 

 but that fifteen different companies 

 were working under one oflicial ex- 

 press classification of graduated 

 charges and that what one company 

 did the others would be obliged to fol- 

 low. In the special provisions for al- 

 lowances and variations, the clause 

 known as number S, General Specials, 

 provided for seventy-eight articles, all 

 of which received an allowance from 

 the gross weight of 25 per cent, be- 

 tween March 1st and November 3rd, 

 when it is necessary to use ice for 

 preservation and it is used for that 

 purpose only. In this list aie thirteen 

 different articles pertaining to plants, 

 but cut flowers are not allowed. 

 ■ The superintendent of the American 

 Express Co., J. F. Christy, said that 

 in taking this matter up, it touched so 

 many interests he advised an interview 

 with the repi-esentative of this com- 

 pany and the result was that the entire 

 matter was laid before the General 

 Manager, wlio went over the matter 

 with care ftnd expressed willingness to 

 do anything that was reasonable to 

 meet the demands of their patrons. 

 J. D. Ludlow, the Traffic Manager, of 

 Wells, Fargo & Co., stated that they
