The victory of the Carlton Clubs bowlers over
those of the Crescent Athletic Club in the Brook
lyn interclub series last week was rather sensa-
tional, and the Carltonites now feel confident OF

close to the record and the margin of 49 pins for
the total of six games so narrow that the
Crescent men still believe they can reverse the re-
suit when they meet again. The best team total
vet scored in this league is $780, only nine pins
more than the winners figures last week, and this
also stands to the credit of the Carlton Club

athletic set at Tuxedo, for the formal opening of
the racquet and tennis club there will be cee-

in many years either side of the ocean.
The crack players from England, Boston and New

Tuxedo the Boston A. A. and the New-York
Racquet Club courts. and some brilliant play is
pected at Tuxedo this week The most important Of
the International matches to be played is that be-

Great Britain, and Lawrence M. Stockton, of Bos-

close victory over George r. Fearing, jr at Boston,
on Friday Stockton will come close to holding his
own with the formidable visitor although few be-

Latham-Pettit international professional match is
Of less Importance because the two men met a year
ago In England for the championship, and the
Englishman won easily. Latham also conceded
odds to Petit ten days ago over here and
again.
