sphere. Capital city bowlers are above the
average in exDertness, as a careful COM
parison of the scores made in the District
League last season with those of leagues
~ oLuer cities demonstrated, and il is
thought that with the larger number of
players TO select from this year some very
strong teams will be produced.
The District Bowling League recognized
for the season two weeks ago. and its af-
fairs are this year in the hands of the fol-
lowing officers: II. c. G. Stiles president:
Captain II. S. Burbank vice president; H
Z. Merritt secretary, and w. A Story
treasurer. The clubs represented in the
league are Carroll Institute. Washington
Saengerbund, Columbia Athletic Club
Washington Athletic Club and the South
Washington Business Mems Bowling Club
Various committees necessary for the sue
ceSsful management of the league have
been appointed and it's affairs are so rapid
ly rounding into shape that il is thought
the season will open about November 4
A recent proposition that is not new by
any means but which this time seems to
mination, came from several of the Balti-
more teams. who are anxious to organize
an fntercity league 1t is not intended in
any way to interfere with the regular
schedule of the Washington League but
the idea, developed at present is TO nave
a schedule Of Saturday night games. The
league. it is proposed should consist of
ten clubs-+ive from each city-and as the
Baltmoreans are wildly enthusiastic over
the idea. it is possible that something may
come of 1t. The fact remains, however
that The District League continues to be
model for other eastern clubs to pattern
after, and its promoters are well satisfied
with the progress it has made and with
the standing it has in the bowling world.

PLAYERS,

Messrs. Adair, Lyons and O'Farrell did
not play off the tie for third place, but
divided third, fourth and fifth prizes
Another matter of interest coming on at
the present time is the match between
Janowski, who is now on his way from
Paris to New York, where the match will
be played and the eminent American play
er, Showalter. Although Janowski got
third prize in the recent Vienna tourney
following those two great players, Tar
rash and Pillsbury. it does not follow that
the match is to be Drejudged in his favor,
as Showalter has shown that he is a very
close competitor to Pillsbury for the lead
in this country. In their match last winter
when sixteen games had been played each
had eight, and as Pillsbury managed to
win the next two won the match.
Herr Fiebig of Dantzic is a guest of the
local club and has competed successfully
with nearly all the local cracks. Mr.. Han
ma is the only one to get the better of him
at one sitting. taking two straight.
Another distinguished visitor Is Rev. Dr.
Mcconnell of New Orleans, who in other
days had the pleasure of competing with
account of himself in his contests wl.n the
locals
The Brooklyn Chess Club has proposed
to the clubs of the country a national chess
association. and asked for the appointment
of delegates for conference. Capt O'Far-
rell has been appointed on the part of the
Washington club.
Subjoined is one of Morphy's games with
Marache. an eminent player of the day
and author of a fine book of openings. Its
distinguishing feature is Morphy's last
move, as brilliant as unexpected, leaving
no resource whatever. and Mara che
promptly resigned. It will be noted that
stop this could only be done by the sacri-
flee of the queen.

INTEREST IN BOWLING.
Reasons why 1t is Much Greater Than
Ever Before.

The local bowling season has opened with
rush. In this respect it resembles the
condition in all of the other eastern cities
for from all sides come reports of the
greatest interest being manifested in the
game While New York and its neighbor-
ing cities have always been considered
great bowling centers, 1t is said that the
interest there at present almost amounts
to a craze. This is partly accounted for
perhaps, by the fact of the organization
there of the Greater New York Bowling
Team. This marks a new era in bowling
as 1t Is the first elaborate attempt to
handle a professional team. Under the
management of the well-known bowling
arranged, covering several weeks of play
throughout the north and west. AS sort
of echo to this New York team, an organ
ization has sprung into life in Chicago.
which announces its preparedness to meet
all comers, and under the high-Soundiny
name 1.-The All Stars has declared that the
New York team is its particular meat"
To this Knapp's aggregation has replied by
issuing a challenge for a series of games at
81 600 a side, the winner to take all of the
gate receipts. While bowling has hereto
fore had an unbroken record as an amateur
sport, it is not surprising that with the
during the past two seasons that something
of this kind should develop, and Its effect
upon the game will be closely watched by
all enthusiasts.
In Washington, since the advent of cool
evenings. both public and club alleys
throughout the city have been constantly
occupied by the disciples OF the wooden

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Referring to the editorial in Fridays Star
on Marriage and Divorce" and to the
communications of Mr.. Philip Walker and
Mr.. w. F. Crafts on the same subject,
desire to say that uniform law will never
be enacted if 1t must be modelled after the
bill advocated by the reform bureau"
The modern tendency is against stringent
laws on the subject. This is not merely
the opinion of one man. Look = the laws
themselves.
In forty Of the states and territories
four-fifths of alb cruelty is a cause for
cruelty is not necessarily of a violent ma
ture. In the great majority OF the states
desertion and drunkenness are causes (de-
sertion in forty-two). In the Crafts bill
adultery is the only cause for absolute di-
vorce. Legal separation without perInis-
sion for remarriage" is provided for in the
Crafts bill, but how would that benefit So
ciety? 1t would inffict upon the community
a lot of nondescript individuals neither
married nor single, neither fish, flesh nor
fowl. Practical people know that the cause
of morality would MOI be promoted in that
way. 1t is against public policy to refuse
the right Of remarriage even in case of the
person guilty of the cardinal sin in this
connection 1t would be intolerable cruelty
to thus make man a social outcast for
life. It would even be better to prosecute
him under the Edmurds act Chat BOOM

DISTRICT CHAMPION.

The present holder of the title of District
champion cyclist is professional, though
the championship is for amateurs. The
holder of the championship is Carl j. Muel-
Ter. By winning the one-mile District of
Columbia championship race, at the first
national circuit meet in this city, June %,
he obtained the title.
Carl J. Mueller was born in this city
seventeen years ago. His first appearance
upon the track was on July t. last year. He
entered the one-mile novice race and the
two-mile handicap. The novice race was run
in heats, and, while he won his heat he did
not capture the final. He was also I'M
placed in the handicap. He entered several
other novice races, but was not able to
win. The first race he ever won was on
September 26 last year, the occasion of the
national circuit races to this city, when he
finished first in the half-mile handicap.
This fact prevented him from entering any
more novice events. Later in the season

Manager Ewing says he doesn't want
Lave Cross for third as Irwin suits him
exactly. If Cross should come to WASH
ington the day he arrives will be the red
letter day in the history of the national
game in this city.
Nothing remains now for the dyed-in-the-
wool base ball crank but the official
averages. After they are out the only
game will be allowed to take a few months
rest.

Brush is securing as many of the St Louis
players as possible as a preventive against
Won Der Abe selling them to an eastern
club. aI4d that they will be found in In

The success of the Boston Base Ball Club
is triumph of good management and de-
cent ball playing. Nothing better can be
said briefly Of the Beaneaters.
Clements is to follow Jack Taylor. The
Boston club has offered Martie Bergen to
the St Louis Browns for Glenn. The St.
Louis club is not after players. Money
is what it needs. If Boston offers pile
of cash Clem will he released.
OF the sectional battles this year the
west has won 212 and lost 2i3 games. OF
these the west won 119 and lost % at home
and won % and lost l 46 on the road, which
is a wonderful record for a section with
three weak teams. and among these games
are counted the games which We're sched-
uled here and which Cleveland played in

Although the Boston management is op-
posed to Sunday base ball, the Boston ball
players nave no such scruples. The Boston
players can get nothing out of their en-
plOyers. so they are going to try to get
something some other way. Today their
contracts with the Boston club expire. To-
morrow they are on their own hook. They
are going to try TO pick up some extra mon
ey with exhibition game at Weehawken
The game will be with the Baltinores.
The Sporting Life says Of the Senator'S
recent visit to Philadelphia: The Senators
made a sorry showing here. losing four
straight where on pitching they should
have won two. The team, even as recon-
structed by Manager Irwin, is weak in the
outfield, the intfeld, behind the bat and
with the stick. Wriglcy at second base is
erratic in fielding and throwing and prac-
tically nil at the bat. Gatens cannot cover
enough ground at short field, and the same
holds good of Jud Smith in either that po-
sition or third base The team is abso-
1Utely without a competent first baseman.

Freemans batting ability is neutralized by
slow fielding and poor throwing. Collec-

ball brains. Mr. Irwin will have his troubles

to do any better next year than it has
done this season

Notes of General Interest to Local
Players,

The result of the last local chess tourney
held open long time on account of games
not played on schedHled time, follows: Af-
fecung the result, even a number of games
which Mr.. Campbell was obliged to forfeit
from Ill health. Mr.. Crofts, by the illness
and death of his WIFE, also gave up great
many. Mr.. Adair got tie for third place
with Capt o Farrell and Mr.. Will II.
Lyons of Newport Ky, old regulars, and,
as this was his first experience in tourney
play, he dropped five straight games at
the opening. After that he got his second
wind and lost only total of three in play
ing his remaining seventeen. If he could
have commenced with the same command
of himself, there is saying what he
would have done to the leaders. MeSsrS.

Columbia Defeats NJ. A. c.

The foot ball season at the Maryland
Agricultural College was opened Thursday
afternoon. when exciting game between
the eleven representing the Columbian
University of this city and the farmer boys
took place in the presence of large gath
ering. The NJ. A. C. put up an excellent
quality of foot ball, but the superior weight
of their opponents was too much for them,
and after several vicious rushes scored
two touchdowns in the first half. In the
second half another touchdown was scored
by the university men.
Jus; before the close of the game Cook,
half back for the NJ. A. c., secured the
bail. anu. by one Of the prettiest plays ever
seen on the grounds, kicked the bail from
the field for goal. The final score was
II to D. The defeat of the college team was
anticipated, but the college eleven Is much
encouraged by the showing and small score
secured by the team from Washington.
