In open. clean passing team work it has
| excelled. In goaling it has been exceiled
! by other teams. Captain Heffner and
| Manager Edwards are receiving the con-
| CALCULATIONS 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 a view to arranging for a game
! to be played on one of the piers July 4.
/ Heffners leg, which has for some time
/ given him trouble, is mending slowly.
/ Moriarty 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
! players were considerably wrought up last

against female team playing here.
| Captain Sherman, of last seasons base
bail team, has signed for the season with

JOLLY FAT MEMS CLUB BoWLERS
From present prospects the bowling
team of the Y. NJ c. A. will carry of
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 ana
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 36 games won
and q lost, .63l per cent.
Last Wednesday they helped very ma
Eagles in last place by winning three
straight. Each of their games was over
the 500 mark, 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 q games this season,
stands No. 6 in the League with les av-
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 a 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,
