end of the season il would have finished
considerably nearer, If not at, the top,
| instead of third.
! In open, clean passing teamwork ii has
exceled. In goaling il has been exceiled
by other teams. Captain Heffner and
Manager Edwards are receiving the con-
grdtulations OF their friends upon the all
| around splendid work of their charges
The team practically stopped work last
! week. and the members took up prac-
tice for the events in the National Guards
. meet. in which they are entered and in
( which they are expected to make good
! showing.
Captain Edwards is in correspondence
. with the managers of the Atlantic City
team with view to arranging for game
to be played on one of the piers July 4.
Heffners leg, which has for some time
, given him trouble, is mending slowly.
/ NIoriarty played his usual good game last
night although hardly fully recovered
from his illness. Boyl~ has had wonderful
! success in this his first year III the game.
{ He promises to develop into brilliant
! player next season.
/ The, management of the team and the
} nlayers were considerably wrought up last
( week by the unauthorized use OF the
! team name in schedule of games played
( against a female team playing here.
I Captain Sherman, of last season base
! bail team, has signed for the season with
( the Raleigh. n. C, team. He will be
! missed by the Cadet players. 1t has not
been decided who Will take MS place IN
( charge of the team.
From present prospects the bowling
team of the Y. NJ c. A will carry off
this seasons League championship, and
right well they deserve it. 1t looks, too,
as if the Jolly Fat Mems Club bowlers
Will take second honors. They seem fair
ly well entrenched in the second from the
top place. They have earned the honor,
and indeed many believed their clever
work would make them topnotchers.
Their success has been of the varying
kind. They have been in fifth place and
risen higher and dropped back, but ever
since last month they have steadily forg-
ed their way forward and displaced one
after another of their most formidable
rivals the Saengerbund and Carroll In
stitute. They now stand S6 games won
and y lost. .62l per cent.
Last Wednesday they helped very ma
terially to eflectually bury the Golden
Eagles" in last place by winning three
straight. Each of their games was over
the 500 mark a high class of bowling.
Smithson has developed into very
strong. steady bowler and is doing his
share TO win games. Miller, too, is hand
ingn in some good scores. Hamilton, who
has only bowled in y games this season,
stands No. in the League with 165 ay
erage, and is steadily improving in his
work.
Armstrong, who was so long one of the
mainstays Of the CAROLS and later of
the Eagles, and now with the Fat Men,
has had more or less off season. Old
Reliable Brugger. one of the best local
bowlers is doing better now than in the
early season. he stands No. s, with 165
average.
