Mott Haven Team.

There is no longer any doubt that the best |
plan by which team in athletics either for |
track or field, can he selected, is by compe- |
tition 1t brings better results and |
better team II causes the men to give
more earnest attention to training, and hav-
ing thus sacrificed their own time and
pleasure, they are better calculated to give |
their best efforts toward securing their |
teams victory.
IL it he a good plan to thus select the |
team for local competition how much better
| is il for selecting a team for out of-town
| competition, where national Lonors are the |
| winners reward.
These plans were carried out in the work
| leading up to the dual games of Georgetown
| Columbian for track and field championship.
| The winners Of the several events Will make
! up the team from each varsity for repre-
| sentation at the inter collegiate games at
| Mott Haven next month.
In these days of endless competition all
/ places in whatever line must bG earned, and
| in athletics this is undoubtedly the easiest
method for the manager or captain, as II
! relieves him from the Oft embarrassing posi-
| ton OF selecting a team from among men
who are seemingly equally competent.
The method has proven most satisfactory
| to the managers OF the teams which VIII
| unuOuDtedlN reject CTctll respectively upoh
| Georgetown and Columbian.
| Aside from this yesterdays games have
| given admirers of local amateur athletics an
| opportunity of steing probably the only
| event of the kind here this season, and has
| given them additional chance to compare
the athletic strength of the two colleges
which are doing much 10 revive and create
| an interest i'll pure athletics.
COLUMBIA ATHLETIC CLUB.
| The bowle-s ofthe Columbia Athletic Club
| are among the most active or the organi-
! zation, ami asfast as one tournament closes
| another begins and the players are as apt
| in one as they are in the other or the small
| ball or pony games. At the present tile five
| back game, has the alleys, and notwith-
| standing that the players had little oppor-

CARROLL INSTITUTE ATHLETICS.
The state of weather does not affect
| the attendance of the Carroll Institute
gymnasium classes. They are always large.
Prof. Joyce has the satisfaction of know
ing that his gymnasium is the most active
ana enthusiastic in the city. He is almost
weekly called upon to make new measure
ments and prescribed proper exercises for
! new members. This activity shows. not
| only tie popularity OF The gymnasium, but
indicates the continued growing success
of the institute.
The baseball team IS not making The head
way which its early start promised. The
difficulty IN the way appears to be the
lack OF proper grounds for practice.
Bowling is a constant prominent feature
here and the alleys are never idle.
| The latest movement TO continue their
activity is found IN the organization OF the
]
and patterned after a similar and most
successful organization in Boston. One
Of is principal features is that, if any one
Of the players bowl off the alleys on
strikes or spares he has to pay penalty
TO the treasurer. and il is remar rkable how
many balls go down the gutter in the
course of an evenings bowling. and which,
| otherwise go unnOtiCed: but which are
shown up by this penalty plan. The club
includes nearly all the best bowlrrs of the
| institute, and the officers are: william f.
Howard. president; George 7. Cox, secre-
tary and treasurer, and Tony Rice.
| geant-at-arms. The club will bowl every
Saturday evening. Those who paid pen
alties on the opening night Were: Rice, s:
Howard. 3: Clarke, 8; Schulteis, 2; Stanton
and Rawling, / each.
