CARROLL INSTITUTE ATHLETICS.
The same prosperous air which began with
the opening of the doors Of the new home Of
the Carroll Institute still prevails in an in
creased degree and officers and members alike
are pleased with the result OF their new venture.
Large numbers of new members are coming in
and the many new attractions the club house
contains opens the field for large membership,
and il not this season surely the next one will
find the &c. /" very aggressive in athletics, for
it's drawing to 1t some excellent raw" as well
as 'tried" material in all branches Of amateur
sport By the time all the apparatus is in place
in the gymnasium an instructor will have been
selected from among the number from here and
elsewhere who are applicants for the position,
and then the work will go actively forward.
Bowling has from the very beginning been
one Of the most attractive features here and the
alleys are in constant use. The bowling tourns-
ment among the members which began two
weeks ago is going noisily along and the good
bowlers who only needed practice to bring
them out are fast developing tracing speed
and getting into trim for the friendly games
with the G. A. c. bowlers. In addition to this
the great incentive to the regular bowling is the
Voigt medal which will be presented to the
bowler having the highest score at the end of
this month.
am glad to know that the bowling COM
mittee has adopted the plan suggested here to
make up the team for the c. A. c. games Of the
five bowlers having the highest scores at the
end of this tournament. 1t is probably the
only practical method by which team can be
selected which had no record before this tour
nament.
For the Voigt medal Rice is the leader to
date, with a score of 203 his highest game.
Hickey and Armstrong and Clarke are running
well and not far behind the leader 1t seems to
me that Mr.. Freeman, the captain of the
florists team, would have made good showing
in this contest. Is it too late for him to come
in?
billiard tournament is the next attraction
in the shape of contest. 1t will begin on
Monday evening, the Goth instant. The prize.
a very handsome inlaid cue, will be presented
to the player making the best string during the
tourney, which will last about ten days.
The institute has been fortunate in secur-
ing the services of DR.. A. J. Faust
for its librarian; he is well posted upon
the subject Of books and their arrange
ment. and will, no doubt. make this very
valuable collection of books, some of them
very rare, more attractive to the reading mem
bers Of the institute than ever before.
