The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1902-09-12

were so popular and were so largely
attended that each of the alleys were
found inadequate to accommodate all
who came.
The outlook is that the game will be
quite as POPULAR this winter. None of
the clubs has yet selected a team or
even elected captain, but each is
sure to do so within the next week or
two. 1t is hardly likely, however. that
these match games will be played so
often this season as they were last
The general opinion of the club mem
bers is that once a week is quite often
enough.
The alley of the Hussars' Club has
been open all summer and several
matches for prizes have been bowled
on it, but those of the other clubs
have been closed and are, in fact, not
yet opened. The Tomochichians ex-
pect to have theirs repaired and ready
for use about Oct. l, but those of the
Yacht Club will hardly be ready be-
fore Oct. Is. This club will celebrate
the opening of the alleys with some
sort of an entertainment, of which the
nature and details will be settled
later.
In the Gymnasiums.
In the various gymnasiums, too,
plduS are OClilS LII many CNCiANS
this season. In past years indoor base
ball has proven very popular and so
teams will be organized for this game
this year. The prospect is that there
will be a three-club league, composed
of teams representing the Chatham
Artillery, the Catholic Library Asso-
citation and the Young Mems Chris
tan Association. The c. L. AS are
already discussing the matter, the
Chathams will hold a meeting for such
a purpose next week, and the Y. M.
c. A is only waiting to secure a new
physical director to begin its practice
as a team.
Other entertainments that are being
planned by two of these organizations
are a pool tournament. for the mem
bers of the c. L. A., and the usua
basket ball games and customary ath-
letic exhibitions to take place at the
Y. M. c. A. The basket ball team
defeated Charleston last year for the
championship of two states, and this
year may arrange to meet teams from
other cities, among them Augusta and
Atlanta.
Football and Boxing.
Football, too, will receive the atten-
ton of many of the local athletes who
are fond of the strenuous amusement
to be found in that game. A meeting
20 consider the organization of team
will be held some time next week. The
team that represented Savannah or
the grid-iron last year was the strong
est ever organized here. 1t won every
game in which it took part Many OF
the men who were members will not
be able to join it this year, but so much
new material has been developed OF
has been received from outside sources
that a team quite as strong as the old
one will be formed.
The last sport in the list but one
of the foremost, both in the interest
that is taken in it, and the number of
spectators that usually attend the
shows, is pugilism. The Savannah
Athletic Club, which developed this
sport here, has already mapped out
a programme of bouts for this winter
that will give to the follower of the
game an opportunity to see any num-
Der of mills between the best men
in their respective classes.
A list of the bouts has already been
published, and so there is no necessity
of repeating it: to show what may be
expected in this line it is only neces-
sary to mention the men who are Slat-
ed to take part in the bouts. Among
them are Tommy Feltz, Andy Daley,
Johnny Regain, Kid Goodman. Tim Cal
lahan, Eddie Lenny, Jack Bennett,
Twin Sullivan, Owen Zeigler, Fred
Douglas and Billy Farren. The first
of these, between Douglas and Zeigler,
will take place Sept. %.
