Ip to tbe Ltt Call Rolled Victory Was
Asybody'i EiceHtst Scores Hade
bjr All the flayers.
Tbe Astoria Football Club's alleys were
crowded lost night when the match game
between the champion lady and gentle
man bowlers took place. About laO la
dles were present, while there was not
even standing room for the gentlemen
specih.'ors. People expected to see an
exciting contest, and they were not dis
appointed. The very last t&U rolled de
cided the game and guve the gentleman
the victory by one pin. It was as close
as It could possibly be.
The handicap of the ladles In the four
games was ICS. They made a total In
the first game of 2S7, while the gentlemea
made but 233. This lead placed the
ladles In a fair way to win, but the
excellent bowling of Messrs. Plcken and
Harry Bell In the last two games won
the day for the gentlmen.
The second game went to the gentle
men, the totuls being 2 and 143. The
third game also was won by the gentle
men by totals of 277 and 244. Thus far
the gentlemen were three pins In the
lead. In the lost fame the ladles looked
like sure winners. The gentlemen fin
ished well, however, although the result
was very much In doubt until the last
ball had been rolled. The scores an
nounced 273 for the gentlemen and 275 for
the ladies. The latter had made up
two of the three-pin lead, and lost by
the single pin. And oh! what a sigh
went up from the fair sex! The grand
totals were 1054 to 1053.
Mrs. Stlne made the beat tidy's score
during the match, SO. M. M. Plcken
made the highest score for the gentle
men, 56. Mrs. H. H. Ingalls made the
best Individual actual grand total, get
ting 133. Mr. Plcken, made the best
grand total for the gentlemen, 163. Harry
Bell rolled an excellent, steady game.
His grand total was 159. He suffered
from centers, but wtos very good on cor
ner work. His scores were 43, 38, 40 and
3$. M. B. Bozarth, who also suffered
a greet deal from centers, got the third
best total, 145. Mrs. Ingalls' corner work
received much applause.
Altogether It was a great game and
thoroughly enjoyed by all who saw It.
M'KANE TO BE RELEASED.
New York, Sept. SO. The Herald ssys;
The friends of John Y. McKaae are
making very determined efforts to bring
about his release and have succeeded in
obtaining assistance from Senator Piatt
and his associates. In speaking of the
matter. Senator Piatt said:
"The case of John Y. McKaue has
been brought to my attention by several
persons Interested In his pardon. I think
he is more sinned against than sinning.
He has been punished sufficiently. In
my opinion his sentence was excessive
and I would have no hesitation In public
ly saying that the ends of Justice have
been sufficiently subserved by what he
has suffered, especially In view of the
condition of his family and his failing
health."
Mr. Bryan will observe that the "cause"
Is not receiving much encouragement In
Maryland and New York, where demo
cratic victories are possible. Howevei
It Is strong with the Ohio snd Pennsyl
vania democrats.

Brooklyn, Sept. . Although Boston
has one more gam. to play with Brook
lyn, and Baltimore two more with Wash
ington, the race for the Ieagu. pennant
of 1S97 practically came to an end with
the conclusion of today's game at East

Washlnton trounced the Champion.,
which leave Boston th. undisputed
champions for 17. Even should Balti
more win both their gamea, they can
only attain a percentage of 700 points.
Should Brooklyn win from Boston on
Saturday, the latter would still have a
percentage of 704.
The excitement at today's game was
extraordinary. In the sjeoond lnnlnjc.

gave them a safe lead, men and women
alike rose In their seats and yelled fran
