Brilliant Bowling Defeated the Y. NJ.
c. a. Team.

The almost unbroken string of victories
standing to the credit of the bowling team
of the Young Mems Christian Association
was cut by the Carroll Institute five last
night. Tho Carroll team played a brilliant
game, with good totals to their credit in
each event, and allowed the association
men not single victory as reward for
their evenings effort. In contrast to the
work of the CAROLS, the visitors played
the poorest set of games made by them in
some time. in one match the total barely
reaching 100. The home players divided up
the work very equally among themselves
the side, the others Were close upon him,
Harlow running the lowest series and again
failing to maintain his average of other
years. For the visitors, Rose was decided
ly off, and gave place to Ronsavlle in the
wind-up game. Won Boeckmann also did
poorly. but it is understood that all bowl
ers occasionally fall away from their ac-
cuStOmed totals
The result of the games tends to shove
Columbia still lower down the list, the Car
rolls now being tied with the Golden Ea gle
team and the Saengerbund for second po-
s:t!On
The outcome of the first game could be
easily foretold almost from the start, as
the home team took a lead in the second
inning that was not overcome during the
play. SiXty-three pins divided the sides al
the close: The score follows:

The arrangement of the fireworks screen
in the Washington monument grounds, re

river, is distinct disappointment to
number of members of the diplomatic
corps, who had hoped to avail of the cour
tesy of the State Department TO watch the

is, they say the fireworks vii be invisible
