matched in one-mile race for the honors
of the state. Since their spring meet last
May the Episcopal High School students
have developed tremendous interest In
track athletics, and are said to have a
stronger and better balanced team than
last winter, when they won their relay race
at Convention Hall. Little is known on the
track of the Woodberry Forest School. 1t

tons, however, and is said to be equally
strong in track and field events
The Central High School squad has in
creased until there are now fifty boys train
ing every day. Conner, the street schools

boys, and they are rapidly rounding into
good form. Western, Eastern and Business

ALLISON SSMALLLEAD
Mi|Ier's Bowling Average but
One Point Less.

Since the last publication of the team
standing in the District Bowling League
the two teams heading the procession, the
Fat Men and the Saengers, have each
bowled six games without either scoring an
advantage each having maintained its
former average of S33 and 687, respectively.
While these two teams, one the game win
ner and the other the record-makers, are
holding their own, the Acmes and the
Market House are falling still further be-
hind, the former by losing one game to the
Florists and three straight to the Fats,
having dropped off SO points in percentage
The Market House bowlers have another
hard luck story. The Saengers, after losing
many games well over 800 that would or
dinarily will. administered a dose OF the
medicine 1t had been receiving to the Mar
ket quintet, by running up a game OF 1,O29
against the latter's 892. The loss of three
straight to the -Bund and two to the Fats
causes loss of 30 points to the Market
House. Winning six of their last nine
games has given the. Bank Clerks big
boost, and they are now close up to the
fourth team.
There have been no new team or indi-
vidual records made, and the positions Of
the five leaders remain unchanged
Allison, the leader in individual averages
~
Is still bowling great tenpins. but during
the past two weeks Miller has done even
better. and Allison's lead has been cut
down from three points to one krauss is
close up, and a bad set for either Allison
or Miller would put Dutch at the head
or the heap If he keeps up his present clip
In the Bund's match against the Market
House Eckste:n had only one break-a pick
giving him two clean games making a
total OF ten Allison is second with eight
Miller has taken the lead from Allison In
average of strikes. Bailey still leads in
spares
Each team is still headed by the same
player as formerly, but Harlow's honors
are threatened in the Fat Mems team, as
both Rodrck and Waters are but few
pins behind. An unusual feature of the
averages at the present time is the bunch
ing of the players on the three leading
teams. Allison, Miller, Eckstein and Bur-
dine OF the Saengers are in the first five
men. Harlow Waters and Rodrick of the
Fats are less than a point apart and War
rem. Cox and Hardie of the AGNES follow
next down the line. Another interesting
oddly is the similarity in the records of
the three Fat Men. Harlow and Rodrick
have an equal number of strikes, and their
high sets are the same-5S7. Harlow and
Waters have each 215 for their highest
game. and in spares Rodrick has ia Har-
low 10 and Waters 176. That's keeping
together some
Warren goes ahead of Hardie and Cox on
the Acme team, and McLennan takes sec
ond place from Crosby of the Florists

CORNELL'S BASE BALL
NINE HARD At WORK.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ITHACA, n. Y, February 3.-Regular in
door base ball practice is already under full
sway at Cornell Every afternoon from
until o'clock the armory is crowded
with base ball aspirants, more than a hun
dred being enrolled for the indoor work.
The training is in charge of Glenn S. War
ner who will from time to time be assisted
by several graduates who have promised to
return. "Hughey'' Jennings of the Balu-
more nine will assist in the coaching till
the first part of April. Jennings graduted
in 1904 from the Cornell law school, and in
that year and the year previous was head
coach of the base ball squad at Cornell.
Cornelfs prospects for frst-claSs team
are better than they have been in many
years past, for not only is the entire var
sity back in college, but there are also a
number of new men who show promise, and
1t is doubtful if all the veterans will be able
to keep their places. Rice. second base

ever. So far very few OF the old men have
been out, with the exception of Capt.

now and junior week VIII be spent lin de-
yeloping the new men as much as possible
From now till late IN March, when the
southern trip will be taken, the process of
wedding OUT viii be gone through, as
only about fifteen men win be taken on the
trip. Before they go all the rest of the
squad will be dispensed with, SO that more
attention can be given TO the varsity men

ON THE SECOND SERIES.
First and Last Teams in Duckpin
League Nearly Tied on Pins

The Evening Star Duckpin League has
begun its second series of games. From the
showing some OF the boys made in their
last games. the league as whole has not
only become full-grown. but the majority
OF the members have become experienced
rollers. If the same interest is displayed
and continued to the end of the season there
should be some high average rollers in this
league.
Capt Collier of the Nonpareils holds the
highest individual score with 122 Capt
Cromwell of the Agates still leads the
league in the second series, with an average
OF s6.4 for six games, having toppled a,y

There is difference of only one min
between the first and last teams In num-
per or pins the Minions have lead of
thlrty-slx over the next team, the Norma
reils Cromwell fell off five points. but still
leads; Collier fell six points, but some of
those lower down made substantial gains.

singularity Developed Regarding Au-
tomobile Tires

Perhaps few persons who think they know
an automobile from top to bottom are
aware of the almost regular sequence m
the wearing out of the tires. If several
automobile enthusiasts were asked the
question offhand (Which tire lasts the
longest?" they would probably be able to
do nothing more than express an opinion
at venture. But a few close observers
have found out that there is a serial re-
lation in the giving way of the tires Nearly
always the right hind wheel goes first to
he followed soon by the front wheel on
the same side. The next in sequence is the
left hind wheel, while the tire that wears
the longest as rule Is the one on the left
front wheel. This holds true especially in
motor cars. The reason is not far to seek
Every time the car is turned out of the
road to pass vehicle the right wheels are
sent into the ditch There they stand an
excellent chance Of being cut up by stones
and hard clods. The left wheel tires, OF
course. remain in the center of the road.

Retirement of John Roberts.

Special CabIegram 10 The star.
LONDON. February s.-The Daily Tele-
graph states that John Roberts is to retire
at the end of the present billiard season,
which, as II is generally known, will con-
clude on April so. This decision will come
as something of surprise to his countless
admirers, especially as. after showing a
falling off In his form, as was only nat
ural at his age. he has within the last
month been playing almost as well as he
ever did in his life. The hope has been
expressed that his farewell will resemble
that of many great opera singers. and be
extended over several seasons, for. while
IL is admitted that he is not now the equal
of Stevenson or Dawson. there is not the
slightest doubt that he is playing as no
man of nearly ffty-nfne years of age has
ever played, or is ever likely 20 play.

as it's contestant in the National Guard
Armory gymnasium the Western Branch
Y. NJ. c. A. of Baltimore and overwheIm-
ingly defeated the visitors by a score of
so to IA. The Baltimoreans had no chance
TO win after the first half. They seemed
unable TO stop the excellent team work
of the Ordways, while, on the other hand
the Ordway boys simply broke up every
combination that was tried by the Wis
itors.
The local team began the scoring and
had made four points before the Oriole
team had scored their first. which came
soon after on free toss. The score at the
end of the first half was IA to 5 In favor
Of the Ordways. The fast work of the
Ordway team resulted in several fouls be-
ing called upon them, which resulted In
four points for the visitors
Rogers carried off the honors in goal
throwing for the local team. as he secured
eight. Scroggins and Bonaviers also
played Well. For the visitors. Fowler and

Four Games at Y. M. C. A. Gym
There We're four games of basket ball at
the Y. M. c. A. building last evening, and
in all four games the boys of the associa-
ton defeated their opponents. The second
boys team defeated the second quint rep
resenting the Carroll Institute. and the FIRST
boys team defeated the team representing
the boys team of the Maryland Agricul-
tural team. The score in the first game
was IL TO II and in the second IS to 70. It
was in the second game that the represen-
tatives of both institutions played remark
ably well. The "Aggfes,' although TO
great extent outclassed by a team that was
too swift on their feet for their opponents
played with vim and dash. These contests
were played in the gymnasium of the boys
department
In the big gymnasium games were sched-
uled between the teams of the Y NJ c. A.
Reserves and Epiphany Chapel Reserves
and the Orioles of the Y NJ c. A. and the
Shamrock team from the northeast section
Of the city. The first contest was not
played because the Epiphany Chapel play
ers failed to show up, and the second con-
test resulted in victory for the Y. M c. A.
Orioles by score of "a to 8.
Then the Mephifas played the Reserves
OF the y. NJ. c. A, winning by 10 to 8. The
features were the goal throwing of Coleman
for Mephifas and the work of Hubbard and
