The indoor season of athletics may now
be said to be in full swing and from this

day last opened its season in earnest ard

tomorrow evening by the Washington

will be held on the alleys of the former.
There have been many changes In the
makeup of the five teams which compose
the league, with the possible exception of
the Saengerbund, twice winners of the
championship, and the race between the
other four will undoubtedly be very inter-
esting for their practice games have
shown them well matched and with an
average amount of luck they should all
finish in a bunch, crowding the Saengers
right in the midst of the bunch. The
winner this season will know there has
been a championship series. Games will
be played on Mondays and Wednesdays,
the remaining evenings being left open
for practice. with Saturdays as intercity
nights. when games here and in Balti-
more will be played by league teams.
A splendid lot of prizes has been do
mated and they are intended to cover al
most all the points In which bowler or
