The Cubs have won 13 out of the last 15 games that they have rolled, a rec ord that is just as enviable as that which they made at the first of the seaBOu was poor. The "kitty" and Joseph Wich won the last game for the Stock Leaders. PLOW CITYS LOSE. The colors of the Plow City team were hauled down again last night, the Bachelors winning two out of three.

Did you know that Wilson, the latest Cuh, copped high total and single game scores last night? Frank Wich, as captain, was the only change in the Stock Leaders last night.

Mc Farland yesterday before the arrival of an officer who was to take him to Pittsburgh to answer a coroner's charge that he was responsible for the death of his former secretary, Elsie Dodds Coe. "I am expecting an offi cer to reach here from Pittsburgh," he continued. "I will tell my story to the grand jury. So far as I know, Miss Coe was a good girl. She was like a child to me. I loved her as my own daughter.' Mcranand declined to say whether he had been in Pitts burgh this month, declaring it was "nobody's business but my own." Mc Farland admitted to knew Rollin M Ccnnell, said to have been mentioned in Miss Coe's dying statement as hav ing been responsible for her condi tion. McFarland is hell in Jail here.

The Plow City team is meeting with a reversal in form and soon somebody else will be waving down to the team on the bottom. Some race. H. Potter, brother of the famous E. Potter of the Bachelors, .has been signed up. He rolled two games last night and averaged a little more than the usual new recruit. Hildebrandt must have been a little too anxious last night. He is not a phenomenal bowler, but he is usually there with the steady game. Wonder who was trying to kid him. Haven't seen Bud Meenan's name cropping into the Cub lineup lately. It is rumored that he is breaking into society and has no time for athletics now. Four of the Stock Leaders had games that were over 200, including "kitty," who behaved nicely in the last game.
