Such competitors and such competition
! as we have lad should do very much TO in
crease the somew hat latent interest in
field and track sports throughout the
country

York athletic team last week should DC

ATLANTIC ASSOCIATION OF A. A. U.
Even at this time it seems impossible
for the Atlantic Division of the A. A. U.
to hold its annual fall championships,
simply because no city, a member Of that
division, is able to raise the necessary
guarantee to pay for prizes and so on
Truly a sad state of affairs. 1t W was sup
uosed that Baltimore would make a
strong bid for this annual fixture, but
it simply cannot make the guarantee,
and for the time being this meeting will
be held in abeyance.
The annual meeting Of the Atlantic
Association of the Amateur thletic Union
will be held in Philadelphia, ON the evening
of October 81, at the Athletic Club,
Schuylkill Navy This viii nc an i'm
po,tant meeting, and no doubt, incident
ally, Some city VIII come forward and in
vite the association TO hold its annual
championship games.
NEW BowLING RULES.
The American Bowling Congress, which
met in New York during the latter part OF
the past week, thoroughly overhauled al
most every rule governing the game of ten
pins and some material changes were made
Rule . was radically changed. 1t
changes the game from three balls to each
frame to two balls, but in no way inter
feres with the present very satisfactory
method of scoring.
Locally, n bowling league is again spoken
of, but from present indications there viii
be several changes in the make-up of that
body from last years league. 1t is not
altogether certain that the c. a. c. will be
a member of any bowling league this sea
son on the other hand. several new teams
may apply for admission to the league. and
among them are the teams from the Wash
incton outing Club and the Cairo team.
on nearly all the other teams new faces
WI be found and it remains to he seen
If the new blood will make rs strong bowl
ers in competition as the veterans Of sew
eral seasons team work.
COLUMBIA AATHLETICCLUB.
As stated I'm Fridays issue of the Times
the meeting of the members of the Columbia
Athletic Club on Thursday evening to act
upon the status, present and future, of the
club, met with most gratifying success; in
deed, much beyond the expectations of the
ma iority. IL is, and certainly could not
help being, most pleasing to the members
and management TO know that relief from
a most unsettled and embarrassing condi-
tion is in sight.
With the new order of things will come an
increase OF membership and with the ex-
cellent advantages offered for physical
advancement as well as its social features,
the club should rapidly fill its ranks and
there is no good reason why it shouldn't
shortly have a waiting list.
The fair 10 be held during the first half
of December Will be novel entertain
ment, and the whole of the big house viii
be given up to it. 1t is promised that it
will be unique and attractive, and will
success AS already stated, the manage
strong committee.
All the subcommittee will meet at the
clubhouse on Thursday evening lex t
for organization.
Much of the bowling season will be
given up to contests among club members
At present it is very doubtful if the club
viii have a team in the bowling league
during the season at hand.
During the week, if the weather is cool
enough, the bowlers will begin their prac-
tice work. All the members of last years
team will take up the sport again, and are
eager for the sound of falling pins.
David b. Hill" Jones will again take
an active interest this season, and he will
have such strong bowlers with him as
Will Dove, Bestor, Stone, Kicker, Mason,
and Arthur Moses.
For the present the question of Secur-
ing a physical instructor to succeed Prof.
Crossley will not receive final action.
The "Hasbeenola'' four is still faithful
and the only crew on the river taking
regular practice and showing more speed
than ever before, the result of strength
gained at Morgans training table.
CARROLL INSTITUTE ATHLETICS.
Candidates for the basket ball team to
represent Carroll Institute during the COM
ing season are taking lots of practice and
the institute will have the strongest team
it has ever had. Among those playing the
games are W. Gallagher, Joe and p. ]. DAILY,
James Bauby, Joe Mangan, John Pearson,
j. Berberick and w. o. Downey.
AS the Y NJ. C. A. athletes have accepted
the use of the gymnasium rendered them by
the Washington Light Infantry, it is quite
probable that they will getout strong team
and the practice with the Infantry boys
would be mutually beneficial.
The oates Tor noiulnS tne Institute inuOOr
athletic exhibitions have not yet bsen
fixed, but the first will be held about the
latter part of October.
The gymnasium classes increase in size
almost nightly, and the drill work is a reg
ular feature and is run Off in the following
order: First, free exercise; second, dumb
bell drill; third, lay-down dumbbell and
chest weights; five, mat work; sixth,
German horse; seventh, parallel bars.
Downey and Carl Mess are doing some
5plendid work on the parallel bars.
