CAMPBELL LEADIN G

The first round of games in the second
half of the District Bowling League, which
was completed with Wednesday nights
match between the Rathskellers and Golden
Eagles, was one of the most interesting of
the season, owing to the closeness of the
race and the fact that the leaders and
second place occupants had sets with teams
which were struggling for third place.
At the beginning of the series the Saen-
gers were only one game to the good of the
Fat Men, and the rooters for the jolly Fats
were hopeful theat their standing might be
brought up on an equal footing. The Bund,
however. bowled higher games than any
series of three this season, and swamped
the Business Men. while the Fat Men found
the Acmes a harder proposition, losing one
and narrowly escaping double defeat.
Third place is again In full possession of
the AGNES, although the margin of lead
over the Business Men cannot be determ.n-
ed, as no action has yet been taken on the
contested game in the last match. A dual
victory over the Rathskellers pushes the
Eagles into fourth place. as their total OF
pins exceeds the Business Men, should the
teams be tied, and one game in the lead
should the AGNES get the game undr pro-

The Career of VIM. Mckinley.

Quite a large crowd attended an open
meeting given last evening by the Mems
Club of the Westminster Church Memorial.
The feature of the evening was an address
by Mr.. VIM. E. Andrews auditor of the
treasury. upon the life of the late President
Mckinley. Mr.. Andrews was closely asso-
ciated with Mckinley during his admins
tration and is therefore capable of handling
this subject as are few others. He first
spoke of McKinley's Christian life; how
early in life he took that stand. and urged
the young men of today to do likewise as
the foundation for true character building.
He dwelt upon his military career, describ-
ing how he served his country in time of
need. After calling attention TO Mr.. Nc
Kinley's private life Mr.. Andrews con-
tinued "Such a man could not live in re-
tirement, for his country needed him
Mr.. Mckinley as governor of Ohio and
then as chief executive was discussed, and
his policy during the Spanish war fully ex-
planned, Mr.. Andrews showing how the
President was master of the situation at all
times. The closing words referred to the
Presidents tragic death.
Other features of the evening were an
appropriate solo rendered by Mr.. Douglass
G. Miller and Lead Kindly Light" sung
by quartet composed of Mrs. 7. p. Ste
phenson. Mrs. l.. S. Depue. Mr.. c. d.
Church and Mr.. Carroll Morrison.

Team Standing.

One of the reversals in form which un-
expectedly upset ten-pin calculations
struck the Business Men: The week preyi-
Gus they had established new high marks
for the team, both for single game and set.
and last week they went to the other ex-
treme, knocking out 1855. with 13S for low
game. and 2.i57, with 2. 42S for low set.
The SaengerS, in addition to getting
firmer grip on the lead in team standing,
also carried off high game honors for the
series. 979 and 49, being far ahead of the
other teams best work. Their set of 2,Sl3,
run up against the Business Men, Is not
only their highest set but also breaks
the seasons record of 2.S11. which was also
held by the 'Bund. Their rivals, the Fat
Men, ran the second highest set of the
series. 2,7le. The preceding week the
league teams, as a whole reached high
water mark in game average, 800 even, but
the last series averaged only ST., which is
an excellent showing compared with
leagues of other cities where the conditions
are the same-i-e., games bowled on many
different alleys. varying snoothness. run
ming space, lights. surroundings etc, which
has vast deal to do with the size of
scores, all of which should be given due
weight in comparing such scores with those
made by leagues bowling all games on the
same two alleys.

Fat Mems alleys, and by string:ng up his

Anacostia and Vicinity.

Travelling along the country roads adja-

through the use of snow plows yesterday
and today. Wallace Pyles ran a snow

NEW ORLEANS RACES.
Mad Mullah Only Favorite to Finish in

Doc Streets imp. Mad Mullah, the favor

whom considerable money has been burnt
up around New Orleans. proved that he is
a wizard in heavy going yesterday. on the
Crescent City track. Under Jockey Dob
bins he ran a grand race Shouldering los
pounds and leading his field from end to
end. The public would not have anything
but the Street entry in the race. although
Preakness, Falkland and Katie Powers fig
ured to have royal chances to beat the big
horse. Three others, Shortcake, Port War
den and CohaSset, were in the running, but
they were never considered seriously.
Mad Mullah got away in front and in the
first quarter Shoftcake danced close atten-
dance on the imported gelding. but quit
early The broken wiIrded Cohasset showed
prominently for a futfong after this and
then died away. From the stretch turn
home it was nothing but Mad Mullah, and
at the end he won by six lengths. Dobbins

with ridiculous ease. Katie Powers show

match. not only because 1t was a cham

first opportunity for the public to see Wig

The match was played in the salon of

large and enthusiastic crowd. 1t was for

VANDERBILT IN FRONT.
Won Three Races and Hung Up New
Record

William X. Vanderbilt, jr.. was easily the
star of the automobile carnival on Ormond
Beach, Fla, yesterday. In the five-mile
free-for-all race he established a straight
away record for the distance of 3.31 % He
also won the fivemile race for gentlemen
drivers in 3.34 80 and the one-imile invita-
ton for gentlemen drivers in 04S. The
morning was anything but agreeable, it
being raw and cloudy, and the heavy rain
of Thursday evening made the beach rather
lumpy.

chimes lined up for the opening heat. A
dripping rain and stiff wind kept down
the attendance of spectators. Barney Old

the fve-mile free-for-all but after winning
his heat in 3.4S 40 he broke the crank shaft
of his motor and was put out of the run

bullet No. today, but as it is less reliable
his chances are not rosy. The accident
created widespread regret and disappoint

Vanderbilt had been expected
Mr.. VaEderblt'S wonderful skill and

the first heat of the one-mile invitation
race. in which II. L. Bowden, W. G. Bro
kaw and James l.. Breese finished in, the
order named only several feet apart. AL
though it broke the American mile record
for its class. the motor bicycle race was
great disappointment. Hedstrom was con-
sidered a certain winner but his motor
skipped badly and he was never in the run
ming.
With the exception noted. all of the con-
tests were practically runaways for the re-
spectiye winners. There absolutely
no cause for either excitement or enthu-
