stage of the game. That double defeat
last Monday may help to lose the pennant
for the CAROLS. To lose two games on
their own alleys, and these to the Saen-
gerbund. probably never entered into their
calculations.
Harlow came up again with some of his
early in -the-season scores and his work
worse defeat, for the CAROLS only saved
themselves from a third loss on a margin
of II pins.
Harlow's average in that memorable set
of games was IFS 1-3, leading his side.
His 200 game in the third of the set was
an Offset to Armstrong; 80. which low
score that very consistent bowler cannot
account for.
Next Wednesday the team will play the
Business Mems Club. and will wind up its
schedule with the w. A. C. on April 3.
Practice for the Country Circus" which
will be held in fortnight at the Institute
Hall, is keeping Prof. Joyce and his gym
nasium classes busy at all times. great
surprise and decided treat is in store for
the members and friends Of the Institute,
and Prof. Joyce believes that it will be the
most novel entertainment ever attempted
here. He will be assisted by a number Of
out-of-town professionals.
COrcoran Cadet Athletes.
The members of the Corooran Cadet bas-
ketball team have about concluded the
celebration of their victory over the Balti-
more Y. NJ. C. A. team last week. To shut
out the Orioles in the first half by the
score of TO 0 would have been almost
enough glory for the Cadets, and to finally
win filed the cup of delight brimful.
OF course, it was a close call, to 8, for
the visitors certainly played hard to win
and with few minutes more TO play might
have changed the story. II is certainly a
clever tean-one that is in good shape all
the time, for the players actually train for
the game, and that is why they were
stronger in the second half than their vic
tors. The latter lacked staying powers.
while the losers were just getting their
gait. 1t pays to practice and to train.
Moriarity played opposite the captain of
the visiting team and was at all times in
the game. He fully demonstrated his abili-
ty to play one of the backs" and he and
Heffner as the other back will undoubted-
ly finish out the season in these positions.
The latter is most promising player.
Davis is undoubtedly the find of the
season as in playing centre opposite Har-
| mon, one of the best in the game, he han
died himself like a veteran. Hendley well
defended the home goal and by his block
| ing shut out several probable goals. Zell
Rowland and McGlue played their usual
| fast snappy game and helped materially to
| boom the Corcoran stock. 1t has not yet
| been decided if the third game between
| these teams will be played or not. Each
has won a game. Captain Edwards deserves
| the congratulations showered upon him foI
the clever game his team put up.
| Boulay is doing clever practice work al
pole-vaulting and with Davis will win
points at the District National meet to be
| held April 1.
Davis and Rowland are practicing faith
fully at the standing and broad jump and
stand TO make it interesting for all en-
| tered in these events with them. The Cor
corans will be well represented in these
games and the work of the Cadets Will ma
! terially help to increase the interest of the
guardsmen in gymnastics and general ath-
| letics.
Eastern Athletic Club.
The baseball club of the Eastern Athletic
Club has taken considerable practice dur
ing the past fortnight and its players are
| fast getting into form. In the main, the
team is about the same as last year in
| makeup and its friends predict that it will
| be as fast and snappy as ever. 1t was un-
doubtedly one of the crack amateur teams
| OF the city last year when it virtually Won
| the District championship. Although there
was no regular league, the team played
all the strongest here and in nearly all
cases handily won.
Dunn and Gates are well known as good
all-around ball players and as catchers
have few equals among amateurs The
pitching department is strong with Mat
| thews and Thorpe and another seasoned
pitcher who will probably locate here
Boucher Will probably resume his place al
| first bag, where he has made quite a repu-
tation for himself. He may at times change
| of with Vermiliion. Hennagher at second
and Hussey at third with Atz at short
makes a strong infeld combination
Venable, Hughes, Gates, and ELLIS will
furnish the outfeld. Little Ed. Raab will
be missed from the game. but he has de-
cided not to indulge in the sport this sea-
| son.
Manager Edward Rice, jr.. 145 B Street
southeast still has few open dates which
he would like to fill with good local c,nt
or college teams.
| The basketball team has not taken very
regular practice recently. The players
seem to have gotten discouraged and have
lost interest more or less in the sport and
| then as most of the players are also men,
| bers of the baseball team they have little
time or opportunity to keep up practice
in both sports.
The team is good one and started ou'
early in the season like winner but diff
| culties came In the way and it lost Its
snap, especially after the game with the
| Corcorans which was filled with SO muct
surprise and defeat.
