The playing off of the ties for the Mer-
RAM and Hlnkel medals by the curling
clubs provided excellent sport on RaSp-
berry island Thursday evening. The
attendance of ladies and gentlemen was
very gratifying, and the play witnessed
was very good. 1T may be said that
the best Kinks OF the club were en-
gagged, and, in the contest for the Mer-
Tiam medal the play was especially eX-
citing. At the end of nineteen ends the
score stood 10 each for the Lorrimer
McCulloch Kinks. The twentieth end
gave McCulluch 5 points, and, amid
wild enthusiasm, they were presented
with the medals.

1t is hardly fair that the newspapers
generally should share in the glory OF
the work accomplished by the Press
club in the bowling tournament. Credit
should be given 10 those TO whom 1t be-
longs, and it has been suggested that
the team should be known as repre-
senting the Dispatch. -Four out of the
I'VE members are Dispatch men.

Charley Moth writes from Lake City
that he has now fully recovered his old
time vigor. He had bad attack of the
grippe. together with kidney affection,
and these rather untitled him for robust
athletic work. He reports that he is
himself again, and, Smartng under his
recent defeat at the hands Of the big
farmer lad at Rochester, he is anxious

That was a lively game played by the
BiSmarckS and University Thursday
evening. The University boys, it is
true, had walk-away, but the vim
which the Bismarcks put into the game
made it a most enjoyable one. George
Mohr made very good attempt to pull
up the clubs average, but the balance
of the team was against bin. A sup
porter Of the BismarckS writes: Joe
Eckers practcing didn't do him any
good; Dunnell's lightweight shots
don't always go; Joe Bach's curves are
not in it: j. ScImitz thought he knew
the alley, but the chalk mark fooled
him. Despite all drawbacks the Bis
marcks are in it at the end"

It is likely that Frank Thayer will
consent to play Walter Wilmot for
the Foley emblem next week. Wilmot
may be called East at any time to enter
upon his training for the ball field, and
he is anxious to get another chance for
the emblem before he leaves. He is
now playing speedy billiards and
