Der. The Official schedule of games will be
promulgated during the coming week All
games will be played at National Park and
in the absence of a counter attraction in
this line President johnson expects
very prosperous season. Two games will
be played Decoration Day.
The league teams are: Eastern Athletic
Club. Young Mems Christian Association,
Corcoran Cadets. Government Printing
Office, Alexandria. Va, and Rockville, Md
The latter two towns have strong teams
and a large following and will prove quite
an attraction.
The league does not confiue the teams
to a membership of amateur players. and
some of the mines will be considerably
strengthened by the addition of profess
sional and semi-professional players To-
Gated here. 1t will be more Of minor
league affair.
The officers of the league are Adam
johnson, president: DIR. r. Housed. vice
president; Capt C. C. Edwards, secretary,
and Edward Rice, treasurer.
1t is suggested that as most of the play
ers are employed until late in the after
noon, that the league limit the number to
three games each week. SO that players Will
not be compelled to lose too much time
from business. Daily games would make
1t impossible for some of the players to
secure the necessary time.
District Bowling League.
After the NEST stubbornly contested Sc
ries of championship games, lasting over
six months. the District Bowling League
has closed its season and the Saenge-bund
bowlers again hold the championship.
Two weeks ago the Saengerbund. Carroll
Institute and Y. NJ. c. A. teams were tied
for first place after see-sawing up and down
the ladder for full season. Last week
these teams began the work of bowling off
the tie. total number Of pins only, in three
set games with each other, to be counted.
The games in total pins resulted as fol-

which is almost an entirely new one and
-acertly worked up by Prof. Beckett, con-
sists of D. Church. ]. C. Spaulding, R. B.
Reddngton, and W. II. McElfresh.
The relay team will be kept in cond:-
ton for the Associations June games.
McElfresh contemplates locating in New
York and Pref Beckett hopes Ii will not
be until after the games
The track performers who Will be missed
are: Speare, the very clever Splinter and
member of last seasons unbeaten relay
team. He has taken a membership in the
Woodside Athletic Club, and will land
many points first.
Ford. who is a fast middle-distance man,
has severed his connection and may run
for the Wcodsides. Likewise with Meigs, |
q most promising Splinter. Ray Saffoid. |
the former High School Splinter. too. has |
taken up the colors of the Woodsides. |
So with these men out and Karus. too. |
the association will have to depend al |
most entirely upon the new material now |
being developed by Mr.. Beckett, assistant |
physical instructor.
The games Of June 2 promise to be very |
well attended by out-of-town performers, i
and with Duffy, Minnehan, Kranzlein, Car
roll, Tewksbury, Sprinstein. and others to /
compete in the scratch events specially |
arranged for them, 1t is likely that the |
games will be the most attractive the as
ISOLATION has ever had. The bowling team
made a gallant fight for first place hon
ors and took part in the roll-off of the
tie and finished second. with a total of
4 .6S3 pins for the tie series. OF course the
bowlers are pleased over the excellent |
showing for the first year In the league.
MIR. Eolton. formerly assistant physical |
instructor of the local Association, ard |
Cow finishing out the season with the West |
Branch Y. NJ. c. A, Baltimore has ac-
septed very fiattering offer to become the
physical instructor and athletic director
at the Western Maryland College, West |
minister. He is the right man for the place |
and athletes will take on a boom at the |
college named. His duties begin over a |
strong track team from the West Branch |
TO compete in the Association June |
games.
Potomac Bont Club.
The intermediate eight OF the Potomac |
Boat Club has begun to work in earnest |
and during the past week was out several |
times doing short spins. The seating of !;
the crew has not yet been definitely set |,
tlec upon. The absence from the city OF !
Lunsford, last years successful stroke, is |
making Capt. Zappone Go some guesswork |
as 10 who will get the stroke this season.
II Lunsford does not return.
Gordon and DAILY have both taken hand !
at stroke this week and both have made
good impression. Maize who filed the re- !
sponshle position for some weeks last year 1
may make bid for the place.
The crew us it rowed several times last 4
week had: Gordon stroke: DAILY Z; Heth 6; 1
Britt. S; Maize, 4: Mansan, Mays. 2. and
Young /.
The crew promises to b. one of the best |
that has left the old boathouse float in
several years. Rowing from the same
boat is the Georgetown Varsity eight, that
