What Is Going on in the Various Clubs
and GymnasiumS.
BASKETBALL GROWS POP ULAR
Meeting to Organize League Will Be Held
During the Coming Week Football Play
ers and Bowlers Are Working Hard to Get
in Condition-Ladies' Gymnasium Glasses.

and to that end a meeting has been called for
next Wednesday evening at 1880 o'clock at
Carroll Institute. At this meeting the matter
will be discussed informally and the feasibil-
ity of forming a league will be looked into.
The c. A. c., Y. NJ. @. A., W. A. c., Y. NC.
c.. and W. L. 1. and other organizations have
been invited to send one or more members as
committee or delegates, and it is hoped that
every organization named will be represented.
There are in this city quite number o.
good pool and billiard players, and each
organization can with little difficulty get up
strong team for either or both games.
So that the interest may grow the first
thing in order is TO organize an inter
club league. 1t would certainly increase the
interest in the game as well as in the organi
cations forming it,
A call for JOINT meeting will shortly be
issued.
The amusement committee OF the C. A. G..
is ever on the alert for something new which
will add TO the comfort and pleasure of the
club members. Among other things for the
coming week arrangements have been made
with the Western Union to furnish election
returns on Tuesday evening, 9Th instant.
A special wire will be run into the gymna-
stun and full and accurate returns received.
Ample provision will be made for the comfort
OF the members and their friends. OF course
there will be big attendance.
FOOTBALL SCHEDULE.
Capts. Wells aud Tom Burns are working
day and night to get the football team in
good working order and daily improvement
is seen in the team. 1t is now prepared to
meet strong teams and will no doubt give
a good account of itself in the game with
Rutgers College at National Baseball Park,
Seventh street and Boundary, on TO morrow
afternoon. Game will be called at o'clock.
Other games scheduled at present are with
Lafayette College on the 10th instant, with
Carlisle Indian School on 24th instaut and Of
course. the annual fixture with Georgetown
College on Thanksgiving Day. All OF above
games will be played at National Park. There
should be a large turnout OF members TO give
the team good send-off and encourage it in
its work
"a smoking concert" has been fixed for
the oath instant, and an attractive card is be-
ing arranged.
The bowling team which will represent
the club in the league games was an
nounced on the 1st instant in a circular
letter to the members. 1t is strong
team, and ons which will in every way
do itself justice and reflect credit upon the
club. 1t consists of J. S. Jones, captain;
Will Dove, John Walker. Frank ". Stone,
and G. Z. Kicker. The substitutes are: II. b.
Mason, Turley Coburn, Norman Bestor, Claas
Denekas. and Howard Perry.
The team will play its first game of the
series with the Y. NJ. c. A. at the alleys OF the
latter on the 18th inst, opening night.
The bowling committee. which consists of
J. S. Jones, w. NJ. Dove. II. b. Mason, sgd
ney Smith and W. f. Meyers, will announce,
at an early day, the dates set for the club
bowling tournament for the club champion
ships in nine and tenpins and in cooked hat.
The latter will more than likely be the first
tournament and will begin in December, so
that it will interfere as little as possible with
the league tenpin games. Sydney Smith and
W. F. Meyers are the subcommittee in charge
Of the small ball tournaments.
j. Maury Dove. the coal merchant, an en-
thusiastic member of the club, has announced
his intention of giving handsome gold
medal TO be one otthe prizes to be won in the
league games.
1t has not vet been decided as to how II is
to be won. 1t will probably be gwen to the
man making the highest individual score or
for the highest individual average in a GER
tain number of games played, that number to
be not less than two-tbirds of the total num-
Der of league games. The generous offer will
be great incentive to bring out the best pos
sible work in the men who will play.
COOKED HAT BowLERs.
In addition to a large number of tenpin
bowlers, some of whom are small ball bowl
ers, the club has quite a number of cooked
hat bowlers, among whom are: Claas
Denekas, who is also doing strong work with
tenpins; Sydney Smith. Jules Demonet,
Turley Coburn, DR.. Kicker, Shillington,

members will attend the ceremony at st. Mat
thew's Church at 1880 O'Clock.
