and these teams also have already be-
gun a series of games. AS is the case
with the Y. M. c. A, the best mate
rial from these also will be utilized in
the makeup of one representative
team that will represent the associa-
ton in games outside.
What should be the most important
league in the city is that composed OF
teams from the military companies, In
which the following companies are rep
resented: The Chatham Artillery, the
Guards and the Oglethorpe Light In
fantry. The series of games of this
league will be begun Nov. l. Games
will be played each Friday night in
the Guards Hall. The teams have not
vet been picked, but many men OF each
company are practicing weekly, and by
the, time that the team is selected
should be in such shape as to need
nothing but a little practice.
Of the individual teams, thai Is OF
those not included in any league, none
promises to be stronger than that OF
the Georgia Hussars, which has just
been organized, with Mr.. Stein Bryan
as cantain and Mr.. Fred T. Saussy as
manager. The team held its first prac-
tice last night and had seventeen en-
thusiastic players present. Among
them are a number of well-known attn
letes. who excel in other games as
we'll as indoor ball, and who promise
with a little team practice, to be able
n hold their own with any players In
the city.
Two Football Teams.
The thirty and odd players who are
practicing several times a week IN tne
expectation of making the team OF the
Savannah Football Club have secured
the vacant lot at the corner OF Charl-
ton and Drayton streets, and, pegin-
ming this week, will hold several prac-
tees each week.
The team is captained by Mr.. Frank
McIntire, and is being coached by Dr.
Craig Barrow. both of them experience
ed college players. In addition there
are many college players trying TO
make the team. All in all the material
is the most promising that has been
got together in Savannah for number
of years; and the team, when selected
should be able to hold its own with any
in this section of the state.
Another football team composed OF
younger and lighter men ais is being
formed under the captaincy Of Mr..
Edward Cubbedge. Among its mem
bers will be found many of those that
composed the High School last year,
and also a number of the Y. M. G. A
men.
New Bowling Alleys.
Bowling, like golf, though rather a
recent conner to Savannah was like the
latter game Immediately received into
