would fall into the error of playing for cross

would be foolish to invite force with such a
hand. His club suit is headed by the double
major tenace and he is not going TO lead away
from il. He has no card OF re.entry. 1t is true,
but tho adversares are getting out the trumps
for him. and, II he preserves his trump strength,
he may find himself in u position to bring In his

DOOLITTLES ON TOP
The Team BoWled Down
the Mantle Wheelmen
in Two Games.
YMNAsTIc CHAMPIONSHIP
Lafayette Defeated Teutonia and
Clio Wheelmen and Puritan
Broke Even-Ring
Notes.

The Doolittlas did two things last night
to the Mantle Wheelmea. In the first
they defeated them in the series of games
IN the Jersey City League. after which
they treated them to supper ald also en-
tertained them until an early hour this
morning with music, songs and a red-hot
time in general. It was one of the fea-
lures Of he league season and resulted
IN an unlimited amount of pleasure to
each organization. The Mantle held a
meeting at the clubhouse early in the
evening, after which the members. to the
number of nearly one hundred, marched
to Woods Hall, where they saw their
team go down in both games, which made
very little difference to the wneelmen and
in no way handicapped them in the en-
joyment of the other features. The Doc
Titles prepared their plans carefully and
slipped up in nothing. The team was in
good trim and rolled in regular form,
winning both games very easily. They
had little opposition, for all put up scores
that wouid have won even with more
speed against them. The result tackled
on a couple of more victories to the rec
ord and the Doolittles are that much
nearer the goal. The figures were not so
high with the exception of Captain Coff-
man in the first game, and it was his
score of 25 that carried the team above
the 500 mark. In the second game Coff-
man took a tumble and was below the
average. Brill and Barnes helped out
with 200 scores, however, and the record
was high. The Nantes did their best
bowling in the first game, in which Andy
Wright bowled 1s5. In the second con-
test Dittmar made 1859. The full scores
