From the Chicago Chronicle. ‘Tho American Indians were great bowl- ers, Alleys of greater length than any in use today were built in the open fields. Balls hewn out of stones were rolled by genuine Indian muscle. In fact, there is scarcely a popular kind of game piayed in this country today but that its counter- part can be found in the age of the red man. They were gamblers, too, even to forfeiting the clothes upon their backs, their wives or their Wberty. Strange to say, the average school history has abounded in a description of the Indian in nearly every point except the details of the games he played. Relics of the Indian bowling alleys are rare, except in a few sections of the coun- try, thus showing that the game was net a universal one, and of all the games which the Indian played bowling is undoubtedly the most remote. The western reserve of Ohio was one of the centers for the Ind!an bowlers. In several parts of Ashtabula county some of the older residents have these relics preserved, which they have picked up themselves in thelr early farm- ing, usually in the open field. ‘The balls used, instead of being large wooden ones, like those in use today, were made of light-colored stone, and range in size from an ordinary league bail down to the.common small toy rubber ball, The al leyS were built of wood, carved out make a reasonably smooth surface. The game was more to see how far one could roll rather than accuracy in striking the ten pins at the opposite end of te alley. s were built so long that it is al- was a hard matter to roll ons of balls so that it would immens enthu net altogether unlik lern ball park. There was sca ly mission of five minutes during the > day © game, however, resembled our foot ball rather than base ball. When the bail in the air there were kicks and strug- maimed limbs and bruised bodies. A ibed line divided the “rooters” of the des, and across this line the gambling took place. Old men were selected as um- pires. Women on both sides brought the crude household goods of the family to the ball be staked on the game. Stake- ded the goods. The scene re- distinct camps, although there Was not necessarily more than one tribe en- gaged in the game.

When the men were tired they would announce a kame between the women, and prizes would be awarded to their winning wives. Among the popular amusements dear to the lighter side of the American, a parallel for which has been found among the In- dians, are the following: Bowling, ball play- ‘©. horse racing, foot racing, dancing, nee checkers, dominoes, quoits, sham hts. Many things which some of us today may believe are contemporaneous only with the age In which we live by research may be found to have existed in the every-day Ife of the American Indian. Polygamy was practiced by certain Indian tribes long be- fore Joseph Smith founded the Mormon be- ef. Vapor baths were enjoyed by the In- dian before the white man came to disturb his hunting ground. ——_———_+e-—_____ Mrs. Ann—“I ordered a new dress pattern here yesterday to be sent.

Griggs Was Strongly Backed, but Lost. CURRENT SPORTING NEWS Two favorites, a second choice and two outsiders secured brackets at the Benning race track yesterday, and despite the disa- greeable weather quite a large crowd wit- nessed the racing. The feature of the day's card, from a spectacular point of view, was the hurdle race, at one and three-quar- ter miles, in which a field of eight started. Gov. Griggs, at 4 to 5, was strongly played, and led until entering the turn for home, when he was passed by Cousin Jess, the latter winning easily by two lengths, Shin- fane being third. The first race went to Cupldity, the even money favorite, and the second, for maiden two-year-olds, was captured by the Wal- den colt, Tonicum, a 4 to 5 favorite. In the fourth the second choice, Monmouth Boy, at 2 to 1, won, the 4 to 5 favorite, Kimmage, being third. The last race Was won by Petit Maitre, who was 4 to 1. Summary.

Carroll Institute settled the question of the championship of the District Bowling League, as far as its chances were con- cerned, in the match at the Golden Eagle alleys last night. The Eagles won two of the games and the margin in the only win- ning game of the visiting team could not have been smalier, since they won by a single pin. The best the Carrolls can now hope for is to improve their standing slight- ly, for the result of the games last night forces the Institute down to fourth place, the Y. M. C. A. going into third, and with any kind of p!aying tonight tn their match with the Saengers the association boys will make # lively bid for the championship themselves. In iast night's serles a splendid lot of games were put up, and for the first time this season both c:ubs made over 800 in each game. This is indeed creditable work, and it is possible that the record has never previously been made in the local league. Old players Jast night could not recall a previous occurrence of this sort of bowl- ing. There were a number of good averages made by the players last night, and Har- low and Gorman both played in splendid style for the visiting five. For some reason Rice was off and got In two games below his customary scores. Locraft did well and Indicates that he should have been added to the team ranks at an earlier period. Merritt found a Jonah present and left the game in the eighth frame of the first con- test. He was replaced by O'Connor, who finished well. Every man on the home team averaged well, though Armstrong was very high in one game and very low in another. His last game abounded in splits, against which no man can bowl, so that the low score is easily explainable. ‘The first game was a nip and tuck con- test, with the chances about equal through- out. Toward the end the game was very ex- citing, and but for a 7-10 split for Harlow on the first ball on the last frame the re- sult would likely have been different, as he had a break'ess game previous. to that in- ning.

The Princeton boys have been tipped off as the probable winners of the college championship this year, and will doubtless make the professionals play good ball to win out. Manager Robert Young of the local grounds is taking care of the busi- ness part of the game, and promises that Dinneen, the ex-Senator, will twirl part of the game for the beaneaters, and that “Buckerene” Freeman and Barry, ites of last season’s senatorial outfit, will also be in the If Freeman can plunk out about home runs over the right field bleachers the onlookers will imagine that old times have returned once The Boston and more. and admirers in this order of the stores for $20.00, for $5 Ladies’ Satin Waists, $2.98.

The Lehigh University boys raced ws + ds yesterday on the local Geoniis ana once more the visitors proved to be a sort of “peaches and cream” diet, the victory for the wearers of the blue and gray being so easy to take and digest. Only eignt innings were played, but in that time the Georgetowners had rolled up fit- teen tallies, while the visitors obtained but ee. es Lehigh players came to Washington with quite a reputation as players of abilit both in the field and at the bat, but the e hibition put up by them yesterday was simply lumpy and yellow from beginning to end. But three hits were made off of Gol- den and McKay, while twelve misplays were chalked up against them in the error column. Georgetown, on the contrary, played a game that bristled with ginger, and was marked with accuracy from the first to the last inning, not an error being made, and the hitting was timely and hard. Walsh, out In left field, had nothing to do with the fielding game, but made himself very prom- inent by hitting out two home runs and a single. Short Stop Moran had anvther guod day, capturing elght chances, all that came his way, and placed two timely hits to his credit. Devlin also did well at first, and, in fact, the others coppered the bal! whenever batted in their direction, but the twirling of Golden and McKay was so effective that the outfielders did not have a chance. The three runs made by the visitors came in the fourth inning as a result of a base on balls, a single and a_home run drive by Pitcher Barton. The Georgetowners scored runs in six of the eight innings, and began work at the very start off, making two in the first inning. The weather was raw and cold, which kept the attendance down, but those pres- ent were warmed by enthusiasm for the splendid work of the favorites on the field. This afternoon the Georgetowns will play the formidable Yale team, and a real con- test can be looked for. Yale is the first of the “big four’ coHege teams to tackle Georgetown this season, and this fact lends additional interest; to the game. White will probably pitch for Georgetown, while Robit- nm will perform, the same offices for the wearers of the dark blue. The game will be called at 4 o'clock. At Philadelphia—Manhattan, 9; Pennsyl- yania, 9, Game called at end vf ninth in- ning. At Celtic Park—Yale Law School, 17; St. Francis Xavier, 18, At Cambridge—Harvard, 5; Tufts, 4. At Providence—Brown, 14; Trinity, 1. The Yale nine has lost the pitcher for yhom “Kid” Nichols, the professional coach, had the greatest ‘expectations. He is C. P. Cook of Ore Hill, Conn., a junior in the Sheffield Scientific School. ‘When the nine left for the south Cook ‘wes not among: ther players. Inquiry brought out the fact that Cook has been or- dered to stop playing base ball by the fac- ulty. He has a tion of @ condition in one of his studies. Cook is a hard worker and very faithful, but has always had trouble with mathematics. He was pre- vented from playing foot ball last fall by a similar trouble. His case has aroused no end of comment at Yale. The undergraduates declare that this rule of the faculty is killing athletics at Yale. HARVARD'S TEAM COMING. Will Practice for a Week on a Local Diamond. The Harvard base ball team, with substi- tutes and trainers, will leave Cambridge today for the south, where it will be round- ed into shape for the heavier playing later in the season. The men expect to arrive at Charlottes- ville on Friday evening. They will return to this olty on Saturday night, staying here for a whole week to practice at Na- tional Park, or possibly at the Georgetown University grounds. If Captain Reid thinks the team is in good enough condition a game will be played Wednesday in this city with a picked team from a Baltimore country club, captained by Robinson, the ‘varsity third baseman two years ago. The object of playing so few games as the schedule shows is to allow more time for practice under the two coaches where the weather is mild. This will also avoid tring out the men, as on former trips. Two of the scheduled games are: April 14, University of Virginia, at Charlottesville, Va., and April 21, Georgetown, at George- town. Coach Nichols will join them in Wash- ington on Sunday. BASE BALL MAGNATES MEET. Important Business Transacted for American League. CHICAGO, April 12.—Magnates of the American Base Balll League held their last meeting today prior to the formal opening of the base ball season of 1900. The meet- ing was an important one, as the playing schedule prepared by President Ban John- son came up for adoption, and other im- portant business was transacted, including action on the peace agreement between the American and National leagues, involving the placing in Chicago of an American League team under the management of Charles Comiskey; the taking over of the National League grounds in Cleveland as American League territory, and the adop- tion of a general plan to work in harmony with the major league. The meeting, which was held at the Great Northern Hotel, attended by all the officials of the league, including President Johnson, Killilea and Connie Mack of Milwaukee, miskey of Chicago, Manning of Kansas City, McAl of Cleveland, Saulspaugh of Minneapo Watkins of Indianapolis, Burns and St: ings of Detroit and Franklin of Buffalo Al of those present spoke enthusiastically of the prospects of a successful pn, and it was the belief that all the articles of agreement with the National League would be adopted with little debate. The season, it is understood, is to open here April 19, with a series between Milwaukee and Com- iskey’s White Stockings. Comiskey n- nounced that his grounds were in readiness. The Mount Pleasants. The Mt. Pleasant Athletic Club yesterday afternoon defeated the Marine Corps nine by 18 to 10. Heavy batting by both teams was responsible for the large score, but the Mt. Pleasant nine greatly excelied the Ma- rines in the field. Out of six games played this season by the Mt. Pleasant club yester- Gay was their fifth victory. They will shortly meet the Eastern High School on the field of Gonzaga College and a close and exciting game is looked for. Saturday the Mt. Pleasant club will meet the Kock- ville nine at Rockville, Md. A Nine at St. Elizabeth’s. It is expected that a base ball team will be organized at St. Elizabeth’s Asylum for the coming season. The institution has for several years been represented by a team,the members of which have always been afforded every facility by the officers of the asylum for practice and playing match games.
