TECH ATHLETICS.
Interest in Base Ball Manifested at An
nua Meeting of the Association

nual Meeting of the Association.
The w. P. 1. Athletic Association held
it's annual meeting at noon yesterday,
in Boynton Fall. The meeting was ad-
dressed by Prof. Coombs of the board
of directors who delivered a stirring
address on the needs and prospects of
the association for the coming year
His remarks were greeted with APP
plause, especially references to the
past of the institute In athletics and to
the excellent record that the foot ball
team has started to make this year.
The funds that will be necessary to
carry on the foot ball season will be
collected, if there should be a deficit
by subscription papers. 1t does not
appear now from the financial success
that has already been made, that there
will be any need for a call on the stu
dents for funds, as the season promises
to more than pay for itself this year.
The funds for the track athletic sea-
son will not be gotten together until
later in the year, and when the papers
for this purpose are circulated the
students will be given an opportunity
to indicate their preference for either
track sports or base BAH, as they sign
the papers.
There seems to be a decided desire on
the part of large para Of the men to
have base ball team next spring, in
stead of abandoning it, as was done
last season. This feeling was mani
tested in the election of R. NJ Barr,
who is assistant foot ball manager at
present, to be the manager Of the base
ball interests the coming year 1t is
claimed that there are more good base
ball men in the institute this year than
there have been for several seasons
past, and that good team can be got
ten together when the time comes
The good material must lie largely in
the freshman class. if this be true for
the other classes have not shown up
with particular brilliancy in this line,
With the exception of the present So
phomores. Sanders, the pitcher, who
has been the mainstay of the team for
the past two years. has left the insti-
tute and is now attending Cornell.
There is no one who will be able to
fill his place, as far as is known.
The election of officers for the ensu-
ing year resulted as follows: H. E.
Scott, '9s, president; R. c. Allen, 1900,
vice-president; j. H. Brooks, 1900,
treasurer; J. B. Wizard, 1901, secretary;
c. ]. Rebboli 99, H T. Walsh 1900. J.
B. Wizard 1901, Philip Loft 1902 mem
bers of the board of directors; Robert
M. Barr, 1900, base ball manager
There were Sc votes cast, and in most
cases the contests were not close.

LOCAL BowLING NOTES.


The series of six candle pin matches
between the Winthrop and Casino
teams win be brim full of excitement
before the last game has been rolled.
The series opened last Thursday even
ing on the Winthrop alleys, the home
team winning by the rather large mar
gin OF 76 pins. 1t was a bitter pill for
the Casinos and especially forN Capt.
Hennessey to swallow, for the captain
formerly bowled on the Winthrops him
self, and Of course wanted to defeat his
old associates. A few hours before the
game HennesSey rolled an 81 half and
1T frame on his own alleys bat the
best he could do In his first frame at the
W1nthrops was to knock down 81 pins
The Casinos intend to wipe away the
winthrop handicap in the game this
week.
A Winthrop team, composed of a7por-
ton Of the players who are now rolling
in the games against the Casinos have
a series Of three matches scheduled
with Capt. J.. Foley's aggregation Of
candle pin assassinators. The first game
will take place tomorrow evening ON
Whites alleys, and the week following
the winthrop alleys will be the scene
Iiof the conflict 4-9
The competition nov going on at
Whites alleys for three valuable prizes
Is interesting many of khe best candle
Epin men OF the city. The prizes are o.
fered for the men bowling the highest
ten strings between the first of October
and the first Of next month, There are
changes in the totals almost daily,
some contestants generally rolling a
game with a bigger total than some Of
the games that had stood to his credit
At present Mccain leads with total
of 1864 pins, with Frank Hill second.
The figures to date are as follows:

AS soon as the bowling season gets
little farther advanced the Sherwoods
will organize their candle pin team.
The same men as bowled on the 81
team will probably again send the balls
down the alleys for the Sherwoods this
season. There has been some talk in
bowling circles about Doran not taking
any part in the game this year, but he
viii probably be on deck when the
matches are arranged.

FOOT RACE AND FOOT BALL CAME.
A Double Attraction at Fitchburg--Wor-
cester Team Lost.

FitchbuFg, Oct. 15.--The last athletic
meet of the season was held at the park
this afternoon. Owing to the weather,
there was a small attendance, and the
condition of the track allowed but one
event in that line, which was a hundred
yard dash between Tom Burke and S. M .
Nathan Of THIS city. Burke won with
ease in the slow time of 10 AS seconds.
The foot ball game was the only inter-
esting event on the card, played between
the Bradfords of Worcester and the Y .
M. c. l.. of this city. In the first part of
the first half Fitchburg had things its
own way, and scored touchdown in five
to perfection. The second half was fierce

THEY LACKED PRACTICE.
Nevertheless the w. A. @. Men Played
Fairly Well at Gardner.

Gardner, Oct. 1.-THE athletic club
team of this place defeated the Worcester
Athletic Club this afternoon, by a score
of % to 0. The game was more stub
bornly contested by the visiting team
than the score would show. The Worces-
ter boys showed clearly their lack of
practice and frequently went astray on
signals. In fact, the offensive play of
Worcester was Weak but in defensive
work they did well. Gardner found con-
siderable difficulty in gaining ground
through the centre, but made their gains
around Flanagan's end and through Della
pey. No gains were made around the op-
posite end, where Ed. Davis played a star
game. He also gave Drohan, rather
weak man at tackle, considerable assist
ance.
Gardner worked several trick plays sue
cessfully. Once a criss-cross netted them
a touchdown from the centre of the field,
but when tried a second time it resulted
in a loss. The score at the end of the
first half was 16 to O.

EASY WINNERS.
High Schools Shut Out tlolyoke Foot
Ball Men.


Worcester high school foot ball elev-
en- scored brilliant victory at Hol-
yoke yesterday afternoon, in the game
with the team from Holyoke high
school. In two Commute halves, the
Holyoke players were able to get the
bail but a very few times.
Worcester scored in all three touch
downs, one in the first hale aMd the
other two in the latter part Of the sec
ond. and the opposition was weak in
every effort in which they attempted
to check the brilliant play of the visit
ing eleven. When the ball was kicked
of by Worcester it was Immediately
gobbled by the opposite side, and the
local team lost no time in getting it
back in their possession. Once there,
the Worcester boys kept the spheroid,
and in rapid advances they carried it
down through Holyoke territory. DAILY
scored Worcester's first touchdown,
when the ball had been in play hardly
less than five minutes, and then they
merely played steady game, which
kept the opposite lineup guessing.
The second half of the game opened
with the Worcester boys as fresh as
daisies, and as determined as ever to
hold down the opposing team.
AS in the opening half, Worcester still
kept the bah in the hands of her men,
and in giIt-edged order, the boys went
down the line, scoring two pretty
touchdowns. They were made by Hag-
berg and Moran On only two occa-
stems did the Worcester boys make
fumbles, and these were of a character
that did not affect the result of the
game.
The tackles, end and halfbacks on the
TToluoke taaTn were eSDeciallY weak
ano it is on this fact that Worcester
won. A large number of Worcester
boys accompanied the team to Holyoke,
and they returned on the New York
express, which reached Worcester at
q 0C last evening
