NEW CLUB PRESIDENT

The bowling team representing Carroll
Institute in the District League was full of
ginger and confidence last night when it
journeyed to the Young Mems Christian
Association gymnasium, and as a result
won three straight games from it's oppo-
nents. Just how well the CAROLS bowled
can be CLEANED from the fact that all the
entire three games were reeled off with
figures showing over the coveted 800 mark
The Y. NJ. c. A. boys started off We'll
knocking over $40 pins in the first game
but after that their work fell off and they
failed to reach the 800 mark again during
the evening.
Krauss of the association team won the
high score honors Of the evening, knock
ing over 2O4 pins in the first game. Smith
of the CAROLS captured the high score av-
erage of 49, while Harlow's five straight
strikes in the first game was worthy of
mention. Last nights Waterloo sent the
association team down next to last in the
championship race and was the first time
1t has been defeated three straight games
on it's own alleys.
Following are the scores of last nights $
games and also standing of the different
teams in the championship race:

IN CHESS CIRCLES.

Mr.. ]. P. Campbell, former president
of the Washington club, now Of Abilene,
Kan, was put up by the club in that city
against Mr.. w. L. Rowland, an expert
player of the Pacific coast, who is making
a little tour of the west for the benefit
of his chess health and gained a creditable
victory over him, 61s to AZ. The club at
Abilene, although young, is vigorous and
is now deep in a championship struggle.
The match between Messrs. Fox and
Sournin came to an end this week by the
fifth victory for the latter. 1t has been one
of deep interest to the chess fraternity by
the promise of these young players to oust
the present leaders from their positions of
promise. and has been well contested, the
final score being, Sournin 3 and Fox 3.
Each of these players had attained some
eminence in the outside world before they
became residents of this city-Mr Fox by
play mostly in Europe. where he was So
journing. This was his first set match and
evidently the difference between that and
ordinary over-the-board play handicapped
him. He expresses himself as not satisfied
that the result shows relative strength.
Mr.. SOurnin won two years ago the club
championship, and had as opponents all the
strong players against him. When a mem
Der of the 4th 1mmunes in Cuba he gained
reputation as the chess player of the
outfit. His colonel one day having heard
himself on his play, hunted him up and
told him to beat him, in language not so
elegant as fOrceful. and beat him he did.
His most ambitious match was some years
ago with Marshall, now at Monte Carlo.
He lost that. but made a good showing
and does not think that Marshall could du-
plicate his victory.
The purse going to the victor amounts to
S6O.5O
Mr.. w. B. Mundelle, who was so seri-
ously injured some weeks ago In a street
car collision on Brightwood avenue, is be-
ginning to get around again.
The match proposed between the local and
the Newport News clubs has been arranged
to take place next Saturday. One match
will start at 1 o'clock in the afternoon and
q second one at Z o'clock in the evening
Eight contestants will play on each side
In each match. Mr.. T. B. Lyman has re-
turned to the city and will probably play
in the contest. Mr.. F. B. Walker will cap
tain the Washington side.
The Brooklyn club has proposed a tele-
graph match for some Saturday in the near
future. and it will probably be favorably
acted uDon

GETTYSBURG PILLS, START.
His First Bet a mbination Paying
S73 for 81

George Smith, the famous plunger, known
in the racing world as "Pittsburg Phil" not
long ago visited his native town, where he
was made much of by his fellow citizens.
In conversation with a newspaper friend
this man who thinks nothing of laying
$4,000 on single race told the story Of
the beginning of his betting career.
1t was late in the year 1880 when Smith,
then delicate-looking young fellow who
worked in Armstrong; cork factory, walked
into Prices pool room, located in the old
White House on 9TH avenue Pittsburg, and
made the initial bet that eventually led him
to fame and fortune.
He picked out three-horse combination
and wagered the modest sum of dollar.
Sam Hymes well known in Pittsburg sport
ing circles. made out his ticket. The COM
bination proved a winner and netted Smith
the sum of S13.
After that he became regular frequenter
of the place and soon became known as the
best form player in the city. This reputa-
tion has never left him. He is the most
early days never went into a pool room
blind as to the merits of the horses and bet
at random as SO many reckless players of
the races do.
Just how clever he became was shown
when he went to Chicago and broke the
biggest pool room in the city. OF late years
he has owned stable of his own. His best
horse is thought to be Chiffon, that he
backed last summer for $4,000 at Saratoga
and lost.
Smith upset all traditions of the turf by
putting his brother, a man who had had
little or no experience with race horses, in
charge of his stable. The brother, however
turned out an excellent trainer, for the
noted plunger's horses frequently went to
the post the best trained animals in the
field of starters.
There is no danger Of "Pittsburg PHIL
ever going broke. He has an annuity
which brings him $4,000 a year as long as
he lives, and he owns considerable real es-
tate in Allegheny and Pittsburg
few years ago he built mausoleum In
Uniondale cemetery which cost $4,000 and
when the time comes he will rest beside the
one to whom he has largely devoted his life
and who is to him the best sweetheart he
ever had-his mother.

AMERICAN VS.. NATIONAL.
Rival Chicago Clubs to Play Series o
Games

Chcagos two base ball mines have been
matched at last. The American and Ma
tional league teams will have series Of
fifteen games this year, six of which will
be played in advance of the opening of the
regular championship seasons Of the two
leagues and the remaining nine games at
the end of the seasons.
This piece of information Is the result of
chance meeting yesterday afternoon be-
tween magnateS ComiSkey and Hart Since
the Buffalo conference the relations be-
tween the two local headquarters have
been somewhat strained and there has been
no visiting back and forth
But chance brought the presidents of the
two local clubs together and the verbal
sparr1ng match to a finish was soon on.
Mr.. Hart proceeded to dilate upon the
beauties and advantages of a four-club
league. He admitted he had never realized
what a good thing a four-club league was
until recently.
You won't make enough to pay railway
fares" interrupted Comiskey.
With a four-ciub league" continued Mr.
Hart, I'VE will save umpire salaries; there
will be no tail-end clubs, and consequently
all the teams will draw WELL.
The only way you can make money to
pay salaries with If you have four-club
league" again broke in Comiskey, lis by
of games with the White Stockings you
may make enough money to keep going"
"All right said President Hart Il am
willing. l always have been willing for
such games. / made such proposition to
you both last season and the season before,
but you didn't see fit to accept
WE'LL, you see, l didn't want you to
violate the national agreement" replied
the White Stockings leader. II always
had a great deal of respect for the national
agreement"
From this serio-comic beginning the two
club owners got down to earnest business
and soon agreed upon the general features
of series of fifteen games between the
Orphans and the White Stockings. At first
it was decided to have the entire series con-
sist of eleven games. but this was after
ward changed to fifteen games
lnasmuch as neither the American nor
the National league schedule is yet made
out the selection of dates was left to a flu
ture conference. 1t was agreed, however,
to play the first two games of the series
on the Saturday and Sunday preceding the
opening of the championship season.
The games will be divided equally between
the south and the west side grounds. De-
tails as to umpires and other features will
be decided upon later. There is no doubt
that the series between the two Chicago
clubs will prove big card and draw large
crowds, unless the weather proves excep-
tionally bad. factor that is of considera-
bic Importance.

BLUE AND GRAY's BIG MEET.
Everything Shaping Toward splen-
did Success

With the mammoth indoor field and track
meet to be given under the auspices of the
Georgetown University Athletic Association
less than a week off, things are beginning
to hum and buzz with the final effort that
is being put forward by the mana nagement
TO make it as complete a success as it has
been in previous years. An earnest hope
is being felt that it will not only equal,
but will surpass the SO highly successful
meet of last year. If the entries which
are daily pouring in may evidence any
tendency In that direction then success is
already assured, for among the kilograms
and letters that have come to Manager
Ryan and NJ. ]. Thompson, chairman of
the games committee, all parts Of the coun-
try represented.
The indoor track is daily the scene of
much activity. The recent victory of the
Georgetown relay team at Boston a week
ago has given the men new energy, and a
desire to bring down Pennsylvania colors
as they did those of Holy Cross This race
should prove one of the features of the
evening as the partisans of both teams are
very strong in this city, and remem-
brance of the superb race that was run
last year Will be an appetizer Tor the
coming contest.

the indoor record for the distance of 44O
yards is instructing the men under him
how to start, no" 10 JuuBe pace, dS wen

AS fast bit Of fighting as the public Of

harm than getting little winded resulted.
