cur in about two weeks. Then on the sec

many friends. and that instead of having
10 depend upon outside alleys it had the
choice of four league alleys upon which
to practice and play its scheduled games
The league during the week went even z
little further. and demonstrated its desire
to make the playing OF the rest of the
schedule fair TO all teams, with the espe-
cial desire to place the c. A. c. which
now has no alleys of its own, on an equal
footing with the other teams, by rearrang-
ing the balance of the schedule so that
from January so the contesting teams will
play all league games on neutral alleys
The c. \. C. has four games which are
known as home" games, and these will
be played as follows: February S. with w
A. c., on Business Mems Club alleys:
February -. with Business Mems Club, on
w. A. c. alleys; March s, with Carroll In
stitute, on SaengeTbund alleys: March 90
with Saengerbund on Business Mems
Club alleys
The members Of the team intend keep
ing all their engagements here and in Bal
timore with the OTiole teams, with whom
series of return games were arranged
For this the players under Captain Stiles
deserve special credit, as they will be at
considerable disadvantage on account of
lack of home alleys.

team had in the bowling has been cut down
somewhat, and at this writing leads the

on neutral alleys will put the teams on a
level with the others, and the leaders will
be kept constantly 'On their toes" to keep
up their standing at the top of the col
umn.
