Ping-pong players are requested to send to the Ping-Pong Editor, Evening World, accounts of tour- naments, announcements of com- ing contests, apecial matches, unusual scores and other matters of interest, A new ping-pong champion has thrown down the gauntlet—or rac- quet, one might say—to the Norman de Mauriac, tho ping-pong king of Wall street. R. Townley Bryan has defied the broker champion. ‘The challenge is to play for the highest scakes ever at issue in a ping- pong game in this country—$500 a side. Mr, Bryan has been notified by Ames, Swan & Co,, through whom he made tt, that the match will be arranged. Juat when it can be held 4s in dobut, for Mr. de Mauriac ts loath to play, He has hts honors, having won @ match for $150 a side, in which twice or thrice as much was wagered in outside bets, and never having been defeated, Only Once Defeated. But My. Bryan is a persistent man. He belloves’ he will meet Mr, de Maurtac and conquer him. Mr. Bryan has been ‘eaten only once, and then by a doughty champlon, Horace Brown, of the Yale And at that Bryan gave the tall 4 battle. Some persons about the game think Brown and Bryan are the two strongest Players in New Yo ary r ne a coming man ‘That serve tricks, You se how it ts drops 4 Juet rising fro $50,000 DAMAGE BY BISTON FRE Stubborn Blaze in the Whole- sale District Gave the Hub Fire Department Much Trouble, BORTON, Mey To-A stubborn fre whieh eteried in @ emetory buliding No Midd Aish olreet, in the most caied part of the wholesale dinuiet cory teorder ooueet Gomeee we Ue Lubding ond contents eotlunaied ot 660 oe Pos Are agwarentiy oreried bo @ ware hace se © printing etun on the Mind foot, and when Ginserverel wee semiaiy warming 0 war ature Tnnee siete Ae quae eummnnion salad © inte bore 1 phossed Pie theier Peinding Campane ent toe paw tupians bavwagie!
