AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN
Projected Improvements to Washington and
Great Falls Electric Road.
DedicatOry Service In Dumbart0n
Avenue Church Scheduled for Sum
day-GeneraI and Personal.

In anticipation of rush Of traffic dur
ing the summer months, preparations are
now being made by the Washington and
Great Falls electric road to get the line in
good running order. change of superin-
tendents has been made, Mr.. Duckett hav-
Ing retired. A contract has been closed,
by which the road throughout its entire
length will be well ballasted. All Of the
other suburban electric roads in this Sec
ton of the District have SO improved
their lines, the Great Falls being the last
to do so.
1t is understood that the road will this
spring be doubie-tracked from Seth street
and Prospect avenue to Cabin John bridge.
This Improvement has been scheduled for
the past year or two, but has never been
realized, but this year 1t is said to be q
certainty. Several portions Of the road,
where there are good many bridges and
trestles, which permit but one track. will
not be disturbed, but the remainder of the
line will be looked after. The road now
has double track from Glen Echo juno
ton to Cabin John bridge, and from 36th
street to 3Sth street on Prospect avenue,
with a number OF switches at various
points along the route. Taking these into
&C nsideration, the cost Of a double track
would be comparatively light. Last year
the road hauled 81 1855 passengers, accord
Ing to the last annual report, the receipts
from all sources being $40. 733.74 while the
expenses of all kinds amounted to over
$2,OOO less than this sum.

Columbia Bowlers Defeat the Saen-
gerbund.
CENTURY CLUB WINS AT BASKETBALL
A Referees Decision That Was
Not Accepted.
BASE BALL AT GEORGETOWN

The Columbia Athletic Club bowlers were
a few too many for the Saengerbund team
last night in the series of games rolled
at the c. A. c., and the best the sturdy
Germans could do was to capture the final
of the three games
Strongly aided and abetted by Dr. Kicker
stands highest for either team, and well
seconded by all the other Columbia play
ers the C. A. C. boys ran up in the first
two games strings that made defeat for
the visitors far from being discreditable.
DR.. Ricker's record of but one break each
in the first and second games shows the
character Of his steady bowling. Laue
made the unique record Of bowling the
highest and the lowest individual scores
his 211 in the last game being unbeaten on
either side. Spiess helped himself along
toward the individual score record by
averaging 173, and 1t is likely that the
official scores of the league will now
show this strong player well in the lead.
He is also credited with the only remark
able spare of the evenings play, max
ing 49, in the opening game.
Columbia's new man, Walker, by his
steady work brought to mind the bygone
days when his namesake, old John Walker,
well-known to the league veterans, used to
pull 50 many games out of the hole for the
c. A. c.
Saengers secured lead of eight pins at
the outset in the first game, having but
one break to two by Columbia. c. A. e.
frame and went ahead by seven pins. never
again losing the lead during the game
and winning out by thirty-two pins.
The score follows:

Total

Columbia ran up the highest team total
of the match in the second game and won
without effort. They took a slight lead in
the first frame, and, bowling an even hum
bred pins in the second, went so far in the
lead that the Saengers were never again
in the contest. Mason, Stitt and Rodier
each bowled double-headers, while the 9TH
ers punched their strikes and spares so sue
cessfuliy that the high total was easily OBJ
tanned.
