| to bring actively to the front all the seasons

tcrest therein promptly manifested itself
| on all sides.
| Football alone seems to hang fire for
| some reason or other, and while there is a
| large number OF teams hereabouts there
| are, with two exceptions, no really first
class teams here. This quite natural, too
because the two big star teams, the G.. A. c.
| and the Georgetown, are for the time out of
the game and with these and their annual
| game out there Is very little local roofing
and consequently a corresponding lack of
| interest.
| But to make up for these deficiencies the
bowling and basket ball leagues are getting
rightdown to work and will make heseason
u very active and interesting one.

| In addition to the old teams in the old
| leagues there will be several new ones who
| Will infuse new life in the leagues and the

will be a memorable one.
At meeting of those interested in the
old a S well as new bowling league, held last
week, the delegates got promptly 10 work
| and prepared the way for good winters
season OF bowling.
II is extremely doubtful If the C. A. G.
will be in the league, but In the meeting
| just held the club was represented by
| Capt Jacobus Jones; Carroll Institute
sent as its delegates, AL. Schulteis, a.
Rice and Brazerol; Washington Athletic
| Club had Litchfield; Harrison and George
| Martin, and Buena Vista sent Colloday,
Schlaid and Desio, and the Y. NJ. C. C..
had F. A. W. Van Reuth, b. Lehman and
Joe Hill.
| An application for membership was re-
| ceived from the Cairo team.
So that it may be ascertained If all the
alleys are full regulation size, a COM
mittee was appointed to measure and ex-
| anime the several alleys and report at the
next meeting. to be held at c. A. C. house,
on the evening of the 18th instant. The
| committee consists of j. s. Jones, chair
| man; Litchfield, Desio, BraZeral and J.
Hill.
Election of officers and permanent or
ganiZation was also deferred until the
next meeting.
The new two-ball rule. as stated in The
| Times, will be quite a factor in the game
this season, and II remains to be seen
whether the stronger or weaker teams viii
| be the most affected thereby. That third
and last ball often came in very handy
II is more than likely that the rule of two
| games night, instead of three, viii be
| adopted.

Willingness hold out, as they doubtedly
will, the venture cannot help but be the
great success IL deserves to be.

other important meeting on Tuesday even
ing next, at which time several sub-com-
mittees additional to those published in
The Times during the week will be an
nounced, and then the full machinery
will be set in motion and work begun in
earnest. The prospects are very eucourag-
ing and everybody hopes for success.
W. b. Hibbs, who is chairman of the
press committee, is the right man for the
place, and his work, together with his
attractive and congenial manner, viii
help materially to make a success of
the affair.
The candidates of the football team

as soon as all have acquired the proper
way OF handling themselves work will
