VERY TIGHT RACE

The deadlock between the four quints
hustlng for second place In the Depart
mental Bowling League was broken last
week. and the champion Interior team gets
the notch next to the leaders by triple de-
feat administered to the Post Office, while
the Bureau handed out similar dose to
the Commissioners. This places the Inte-
riors four games in the rear of the bureaus,
and ties the Commissioners and Post Office
for third place.
The position of the other teams remains
unchanged. although the Printers are draw
ing up close to the Sailors, and the Treas
ury and War quints narrowed the Aggies'
margin of lead down to two games. Bros
nan continues his excellent form,
and the sailors will have to put forward
their strongest team to keep the Printers
from ousting them from first division. The
Post Office team has also been strengthened
by Leimbach. who led the team last year.
and whose Single game. in the mail boys

DUFFEY TO RUN AGAIN.
Champion Splinter Anxious to Equal
Worlds Record.

Arthur F. Duffey. intercollegiate and
worlds champion Splinter. will defend his
title at the annual championship to be held
next May
This announcement comes from the
champion, is final and is an authoritative
denial of the stories which have been
printed frequently since last June to the
effect that Duffey would never appear in
the intercollegiate games again. He will
run in the 100-yard dash, and, with favor
able weather conditions. expects to equal
his own worlds record figures of 900 3-5
Duffey entered the postgraduate school
of the Georgetown law department this
fall, and will take his masters degree next
June. He will then probably retire perma-
nently from the cinder path and practice
law in Boston or Worcester Mass.
His first appearance of the year will prob
ably be at the University of Pennsylvania
relay races in April. Duffey's greatest am
bition now is to again run 100 yards in
O.O9 3-5 at the intercollegiate games and
prove to some doubling critics that the
record he made two years ago was not a
huke. WsE

A Gratifying Success.

The success which has attended the eele-
bration at Convention Hall Of the landing
in this country of the first German colonists
has exceeded the fondest expectations of
the officers of the various German societies
Interested The proceeds of the fete thus
far have amounted to large sum, and it
is expected that this will be doubled or
tripled during the present week. The Red
Men have been invited 10 attend the fair on
Thursday night in a body. The invitation
has been accepted. On other nights the
members of the National Guard Spanish
War Veterans. Grand Army OF the Repub-
lie and the Minute Men VIII be present The
date has not been decided upon Il is hoped
that by Tuesday large number OF special
decorations, made in Germany, which have
been delayed. will reach the city, and Alt

mented even than 1t is now. The usual

Team Standing.

All of the teams advanced in average or
pins per game. except the Post Office, which
fell off from S5S to S5I. The Treasury boys,
although not rolling a 800 game. were far
up in the 800 class and made the largest
gain in average. going from S02 to 800. The
other gains were: Bureau. $50 to $40; IN
terror. $50 to SS4: Commissioners, oS6, to
$780, @. z. o. S23 to s25; Agriculture, SOB to
SOS, C. and L.. 74S to 100; Navy. $40 to 500
The War .Quint climbed into the SO0s last
week coming up from I9S. The Treasury s
advance of seven pins knocks the Agsles
down to eighth place in the standing.
The Interiors high team score of 1876 was
exceeded three pins by the Bureaus and
600 or better is now necessary for the rec
ord. The Bureaus increased their high set
from 2. 1913 to ,. SIS. The Commissioners hlgh
ga me of 96S was advanced to 9Sl. and IT Is
remarkable that this score should nave
been losing one but this was the game IN
which the leaders hung up 800. The Aggles
also increased their high game from 94Z
to 9o4.

BASE BALL DECISIONS.
National Commission Settles Two Inn
portant Gases.

Two important decisions were rendered
Saturday at Cincinnati by the national base
ball commission, of which August Herr
mann Is chairman.
The most important Is that of William
Phile, manager of Southern League team.
who had been Indefinitely suspended by the
National Association of Minor Leagues for
failing to prove his claim that certain
games which had much to do with the
championship of the Southern League had
been thrown.
After his suspension he appealed to the
national commission for relief. Chairman
Hermann finds that the national commits
sion has nothing to do with the case, and 1t
is referred back to the National Associa-
ton of Minor Leagues.
The other decision was that of Second
Baseman Doolin, who played last year with
Jersey City, and Is claimed by Brooklyn.
His name Is ordered stricken from the list
of players purchased by Brooklyn. The
future of Doolin. however. will be definite
ly settled when Messrs. Hermann, Pulliam
and Johnson. all the members of the ma
tionaI commission, have their next meet
ing.
