are about completed.
Hugh w. Logan. Eastern Secretary of
the Tournament, announces that the guar
antee fund of 100000. to insure strict full
fillment of all obligations. has been sub
scribed
The greater part of this big fund will
be used for purchasing prizes and trophies.
The affair will bring together nearly all
the best bowlers in the country. 1t was
hoped that the District Bowling League
would be represented by individual bowl
ers. If not team, which could be gotten
from among the cracks. and II sent would
undoubtedly make good showing. Moth
ing has been DONE however. with this end
In view. A number of our bowiers may
go up to see how some of tie other cracks
do their work
Baltimore. which. like this city. has
worked up an immense interest in the
sport will be represented by team. Com
petitions have been going on for some
time and in many instances the strings"
are remarkable.

District Baseball League.
The interest in the work of the teams in
he District Baseball League was consid-
,rably increased during the past week
through the largely increased attendance
lpon the holiday games.
The Eastern Athletic Club increased its
cad and materially strengthened its hold
IN first place by defeating the Printers. 1t
5 now generally conceded that Manager
Iousels Eastern A. C. boys will land the
,ennant. They have won seven games and
ost none.
Arthur Mccormick is filling the position
Il President very acCeptably and has
,rought about number of changes for the
,etter in the management OF the league.
II is suggested that II meeting has not
lready been called that it be done this
week for the purpose of settling the status
4 the two protested games and the one
which should be forfeited by the Printers
o the Corcorans for playing ineligible
len.
Until this is done the Corcorans. who up
II the decision being made would be well
10 in the race. must be content with a
lace quite well down.
Another fault which should have imme-
late attention is the interference Of GER
ain managers with players If other teams
olding out inducements to leave teams
nd play elsewhere.
It not only causes dissatisfaction but 1t
: likely to break into the harmony which
ow exists in the league. besides it is ex-
remedy dishonorable and unsportsmanlike.
[ is reported that certain Eastern Y. NJ.
: A., and Co:ooran players have been APP
reached. President Mccormick should
ce TO it that penalty clause, a heavy
ne. and suspension is promptly incorpo-
ated in the league rules.
The standing Of the teams including the
ames under protest and not yet settled is
