several automobile racing men to the eff

safety of their laurels because of his COM
ing advent IN the game.

ing now, but there are only three things

nerve and experience. When those three
are combined little else is needed"
The announcement several weeks ago that
Danny Maher, Jockey to the Prince OF
Wales. would soon enter the big track and
road events, caused distinct stir both in
automobile and turf circles.

MIDsHIPMEN FENCERs WIN.
Defeat of the Team From the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania.


ANNAPOLIS, Nd, February 1.-THE
midshipman fencers defeated those Of the
University of Pennsylvania here this after
noon by six bouts to three in a tournament
which opened the local Intercollegiate sea-
son. Capt. Dichman and Crenshaw of the
navy team won all their bouts but Mid
shfpman Slower, generally q strong swords
man, lost all of his.
Each of the visitors consequently scored
a victory and two defeats.
The prospects of the navy team, last
year winner of the Intercollegiate tourna-
ment and trophy, are not particularly
strong, as only Dichman remains of last
seasons trio. However, the work Of Cren-
shaw today was very good, and Slower, a
left handed fencer, has done very good
work Capt. Fleischer and Parks Of the
visitors were specially noticeable IN their
work and the latter for his strong and
rapid wrist movements.
The bouts were as follows:
1--Dichrnan (navy) won from Fleischer
Pennsylvania).
2-Scott (Pennsylyania) won from Slower
(navy)
8-Crenshaw (navy) won from Parks
(Pennsylvania).
4-Fleischer PENNSYLVANIA won from
Slower tnavy).
5-Crenshaw navy won from Scott
PENNSYLVANIA.
6--Dichman (navy) won from Parks

7-Crenshaw (navy) won from FIeischer

S-Dichman navy won from Scott

9-Parks (Pennsylvania) won from Sto-

Wide discussion has arisen lately among
fencing adherents as to whether the French
method of foil play is more effectual than
the italian style, which is said to be com
ing into great favor among local foilmen.
Those concerned in this point of dispute
may have a chance to see the question set
tied within a short time, and also have an
opportunity TO study the different styles as
exhibited by the masters of fencing of Italy
and France. NJ. Merignac, the French
champion, is in this country, and Giuseppe
Galante, the Italian master, who is re-
garded by many as being the most finished
exponent Of the fencing art, has lately ar
rived. Upon his arrival Signor Galante inn
medately began negotiations looking to-
ward a. match with Merignac.
The latter has shown a willingness to ar
range matters and the outcome Will prob
ably be that Americans will be enabled TO
witness a match which in all likelihood will
mark an epoch in affairs of the kind. Upon
it's result will hinge the virtual champion
ship OF the world, and the question as TO
the superiority of one method over the
other Will receive satisfactory settlement.
Advocates of the French style say that 1t
is more academcal, more correct than the
resourceful play of the Italian. Pupils of
PM, the great Italian foilsman, have been
taught to hold a lower guard and to resort
to crouching attitude in Il greater extent
than those of kirshoffer and other famous
fencers of France. The Italians believe
that they have a more effective foil than
that of the French. Italian fencers use
weapon which has metal cross piece above
the guard. which they believe gives them
greater security in holding the foil. The
first and second fingers of the hand may be
held on the crossbar In such a way as to
make it practically impossible for the fencer
to lose his weapon With these points in
his favor, Signor Galente is of the belief
that he Will demonstrate TO enthusiasts in
this country that the Italian method Is of
greater value than that employed in
France.
During a recent trip across the continent
of Europe Signor Galante INDUCED In a
number of international tournaments, and
reports meeting the strongest opposition in
Vienna, where the Italian was forced to
dispose of over fifty competitors in order
to secure first prize Starting at Barcelona
and bringing his trip to an end at London,
Signor Galante took part in about forty
matches with the experts of different coun-
tries, and succeeded In defeating his OppO-
uent in every instance. He won gold med
ais a. Barcelona. Padua, Hamburg and
Copenhagen. and at Brussels received ad-
ditional honor by being authorized to intro
duce the Italian sword methods at the
Magistrate School by the Belgian minister
of war. Galante does not conffne himself
TO the foil but is an expert with the saber.

Interest in Individual Averages
of Bowling League.

In its last three matches in the District
Bowling League when it had the Bank
Clerks, Florists and Saengerbund for OPP
ponents, the Fat Men carried eight of the
nine games to it's won column, the Saengers
being the only team to break up the
leaders long string of victories The Fat
Men ran up an average Of 94l In the series
of nine games.
With only a little more than a month
more to go, there seems no more likelihood
that the Fat Men viii ever be headed in
the race for the pennant than there is that
any team will beat out the Saengers in
their average of pins per game These
two crack aggregations of bowlers have
met three times this season and neither
has succeeded in taking three straight
games from the other, the Saengers win
ming two each IN the first and second sets
and losing two in the last one, making the
series stand five to four in favor Of the
Saengers.
BY landing all three of its games from
the Market House the AGNES Widened the
gap between these two teams, but the Mar
ket House boys took the Bank Clerks into
camp for two, which checked the coin Jug
glers in their march toward fourth place.
Interest IN the league now centeTs in the
fight for supremacy In the individual race.
For several weeks the positions of the first
three men have remained unchanged, but
Allison, who held commanding lead, has
fallen off a couple of points, and Miller
and Krauss have been steadily fattening
their averages and have practically caught
up with the leader, who has now only five
pins the better of Miller and thirty-seYen
on Krauss. One game could sweep away
this slight advantage. and the triangular
struggle IS one of the prettiest in years,
owing to the remarkably high figures OF
the three experts.
side issue scrap Is on among the Fat
contingent. 1t was noted in the last aver
age lists that Harlow, Rodrick and Waters
were less than point apart. These bowl
ers have increased their averages almost
two points, but Baum. who stood fourth on
the team. by running up sets of 57S. 6S6
and 631. has jumped into the lead. In his
last set of 637 Baum ran the first clean
set of the season, going the route without
a break, 16 spares and II strikes.
Miller still has high single game, 2SS, and
Allison's 1l2 set is high mark.

Bowling Notes.

Nick Bruck, a champion bowler of Chi
cago, has been preparing another ten-pin
adventure. He has been securing backing
for battle with Jimmy Smith at Louisville
for $500 a side If Jimmy will take him on.
The Chicagoan is confident that with his
Well-known nerve and on new alleys he has
chance with the best of them. So far
Bruck has secured about $3.50 backing for
the Louisville challenge, and be thinks it
VIII be easy to get the rest among his adj
mirers at the stockyards.
So far as the information now at hand re-
veals the fact, Milwaukee established q
new record last week III bowling, not such a
surprising thing in itself, but noteworthy
because Of the kind of bowling al which
the excellent showing was made. This was
endurance bowling, lasting over twelve
each team of two. The head team made an
average of 1877 for the entire series and fin
shed strong. In fact the full entry list

gan talking about contest 10 last twenty

What one might call good and consistent
rolling was done by Baum of the Fat Mems
team of the District League last week when
he made an average of 212 pins to the game
in the three games against the Florists OF
the same league.
