ROLLING 'EM DOWN
The East End Bowlers Have More
Fun in Their Contest for the
Hostetter Cup.
BELLEFIELD TO THE FROST AGAIN.
Great Interest Centered in the Important
Baseball Meeting to Be
Held To-Day.
EXCITIXG LOCAL FOOTBALL GAME.
Challenges from Local Sp-inters General Sporting:
Sews of the Day.
It is evident that those East End bowlers
are going to have lots of fun before any
one of their clubs becomes absolute posses
sor of the Hostetter Cup. It is going to
be a much more difficult thing for any team
to win three contests in succession than any
of the players at first imagined, and the
contest last evening at Bellefield proves it
Last evening three games just puts mat
ters as tbey were a month ago. The Belle
field team won, and they stand now just as
they stood when the first contest was fin
ished. But there was plenty of sport last
evening and considerable disappointment.
A good audience was in the comfortable
Bellefield club house, and of course the
majority were well pleased to see the Belle
fields itin.
Lindens Oat of Form.
The rolling of the Lindens was very poor
and that's where the disappointment was.
They were not like the same team that did
such great things two weeks ago, and to say
the least they were not in it. The Gyms
pulled up a little and were well satisfied
with their work; so much so that they ex
pect to win the next contest and eventually
the cup." They ere of course pleased last
evening that the BelleficlJs defeated the
Lindens because had the latter won another
victory it would have given them the
trophy.
As on previous evenings, the rolling be
came very inferior toward the close of the
evening's play, which goes to show that the
rollers are not stayers. Probablv Sir. 31c
Clintock was an exception, as he loomed up
in great style in the third game. The
Gyms did well in the first game, particu
larly C. Addy, but they weakened. But
the "contests afforded rare fun, and the un
certainty of the results is not the least
feature of the fun. As usual, there was a
good attendance of ladies, and right heartily
did thev cheer. It may be stated that at
times Sir. Buch rolled exceedingly well.

FLAYED A GOOD GAME.
The Buzz Saws, of tho W. V. P., Defeated by
the '93-gat Football.
The Buzz Saws, of the Western University,
are now buzzlne around to find out how it
was done. Even If they should send tho
orator to the Oratorical Convention next
spring they will not bo able to retrieve their
lost honor. Last week their football team
defeated the team of the class of '94 by a
score of 36 to". Yesterday afternoon they
played a game with the class of '93 for tho
championship or the university.
Tho Buzz Saws ('92) were shut out in the
cold, ana this was the way it was done: '93
won the toss and chose the ball. After 15
minutes' gradual gain a touchdown was
secured by Gill's run aronnd the left end.
The try at goal failed. '92 started the ball at
tho 25-yard line, but being unable to gain,
the ball was passed to Biddle, whoso long
punt sent to 93's25-ynrd line, where it was
captured by Sh.iler. A run by Gill carried
the ball to -92's 25-yard line. By a rush
through the center bv G. H. Calvert, assisted
by Campbell's strength, another touchdown
w as secured. A goal was kicked by Smyers
just as time was called for first half. Score,
10 to 0.
The second half was a repetition of the
first. Tno touchdowns were secured by
Smyers and one by Gill. One goal was
kicked, making the score 24 to 0 in favor of
"93. The features of the gamo were the run
ning of Uill and Calvert, the guarding of
Smyers and the line work lor '93, and the
hard but unsuccessful work of Hhea, Griggs
and McGrew for "92.
The teams lined up as follows:
'93. Positions. '92.
Price Kight end. Donaldson

TO-DAY'S BIG MEETING.
President Brash Talks Somewhat Mysteri
ously About the Affair at Iudlanapolls. "
Ixdi as ai-olis, Dec. 14. Special. The base
ball conference to-morrow Is the sole subject
of conversation here to-night, and,although
it is called a special meeting of the Associa
tion, President Brush seems to be the lead
ing spirit in the entire movement. He is
very secret in his manipulations. C. H.
Byrne, of Brooklyn, and Robinson, of Cleve
land, came first and registered under as
sumed names. Byrne and Brush were clos
eted all morning and Smeltz and Bohn
neaily all afternoon. Brush .said to-night
that there really was very little to say about
the meeting to-morrow.
"We must wait and see," said he. "There
Is n great matter, a matter of vital import
ance in baseball circles, I do not care to de
fine it, which needs immediate attention.
This long war must be ended for the good of
the business."
"Will tho Leacue meet here?"
"It will."
"Whcro, and when?"
"I cannot say as to that."
A long pause followed, and Mr. Brush
seized the door knob. Just then Byrne
came in.
"Will Indianapolis get into tho League?"
"There is nothing in this meeting that will
affect Indianapolis one way or the other.
This meeting Is not to say whether a club
shall be located at Indianapolis or Boston or
anywhere else. It has a higher object that
of putting baseball forward and building it
up."
There are 16 Presidents of clnbs who will
bo here. The new 10-club league will be as .fol
lows, according to general belief: Boston,
Brooklyn, Baltimore, Washington and Pitts
burg in the East, aad Chicago, Cleveland,
Cincinnati, Louisville and St. Louis in the
West. Just insert Indianapolis in place of
Louisville and the most perfect Western
circuit ever formed would be completed.
Expect a Good Game.
The long continued dispute between the
Sophomore and Freshmen classes of the.
Western University is to be settled at last
by a football game this afternoon on tho
University grounds between teams chosen
from each class. Although the Freshmen
have very much heavier men, probably
'averaging 30 pounds apiece heavier than the
Sophs, yet what the '94 men lack in weight
is fully made up by the dash and vim which
characterizes their play. They have played
several games during the season and have
won the majority of them from teams who
have been invariablv heavier than their
own. Much spirit is shown and both classes
will turn out in full to cheor for their teams,
and as the Sophs are notorious for making
noises on all occasions they will certainly
hold their own to-morrow In this respect.
The teams will lino up as follows:
"94. Positions. '95.
Donclass Centet Rhodenbaugh
McEwan Burnt guard Ncal

Bannerot Right tackle Morrow
Hamilton Left tackle Bichey

have been taking all the coal lands offered
on a line from Clearfield county toward

Pennsylvania Railroad at a. point near
South Pork, whence it will run into this

Somerset and Bockwood branch of the Bal
timore and Ohio. "Work will begin actively
on this line early in the spring. Reports
from lower Clearfield state that the work of
running the Beech Creek Railroad this way
is going on steadily, notwithstanding the
strenuous opposition of the Pennsylvania
people, who are trying to occupy every
available right of way tending either toward
Cambria or Indiana county.
