CLOSE RACE IN
REAL ESTATE LEAGUE
Columbus Have Won Five
Games From PotomacS and
Are in the Lead.

The race in the Real Estate Bowling
League is growing intensely interesting, as
the teams are now turning into the home
stretch. There are OILY about six weeks In
which the two leading teams who are close

reach the tape first. Since the latest pub
LEGATION Of the averages the Columbia team
has done some excellent bowling, having
captured the last five games out of six and
BUSTING the Potomac team from the leader
ship. The Columbia team should be given
good deal of credit for what it has ac-
complished, as the Potomac team was set
ting a very hot pace which looked good
until the end of the season, but in the last
three weeks 1t has fallen of in its bowling
and Is now in second place, one game be-
of the Potomac team, met with very bad
luck IN one of his games against the Law
yers last Wednesday. making only 121,
which cost the Potomac boys that game
and practically the leadership.
The other teams remain In the same posi-
lions, with the Washington team the big
gest gamers. having jumped from $50 in
percentage to .412. All the teams have play
ed fifty-one games. The Columbia team
continues to lead in team average with an
having made $50 strikes and 1,169 spares
and topping 44.262 pins.
In the individual averages Eckstein Is
leading with the good average of 100, Bontz
second with 1874 and Robinette third with
1S1. Bontz and Robinette are the star
bowlers of the league, each having played
fifty-one games, Ostermayer Of the Wash

A. A. u. rs THREATENED
ATHLETES DECLARE
THEY WILL RETALIATE.


Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February illumination
has been received by those interested in
amateur athletics in this city that the newly
organized Amateur Athletic Federation of
the Dominion of Canada proposes to get
after the Amateur Athletic Union unless
the latter organization wlthdraws from the
fight which the Canadian A. A. U. Is wag-
ing on the latest thing in dominion ath-
letic governing bodies. According to these
statements, evidence is now being gathered
in Canada to be used II it should be neces-
sary to show that the American Amateur
Athletic Union is rotten with professional
ism. The men who are engineering the
matter claim that they will not only be
able to prove this, but also hope to prove, if
necessary, that the union is being used to
advertise and boom certain industrial prop
ositions, and that athletes and associations
who do not patronize theaa things do not
bask in the sunshine of the powers that
are. .s
The fact that so many Canadians have
gone into athletics in the United States in
almost every branch of sport will help the
people who are being fought by the A. A.
U. to get up matter that will be of use to
them, particularly as 1t is understood that
some Of these men who have not given up
sport are preparing to make clean breast
The statements. or yelled threats, as they
may be termed, are considered in the light
of q huge Joke on this side Of the border,
for the athletic authorities of the United
States are fully aware Of the standards OF
the men who organized the A. A. F. ID. c.
That this group Of athletic authorities
should be able to detect professionalism In
the A. A. U. ranks, If such a thing exist
there can be no doubt. for they sho.
know professionalism miles away after their
training with the various organizations OF
Canada, which permit amateurs and profess
SIGNALS to play together and against each
other without losing their respective status.
But they have missed their guess II they
think that professionalism stalks rampant
through the A. A. u, and that yelled
threats can make that organization with
draw from the fight now being waged by
the United States and Canadian unions for
the preservation of amateur sport on this
continent.
The move has undoubtedly been inspired
by that faction Of the National Skating
Association which wished to conduct this
line Of sport under the regulations which
are in vogue in certain portions of the do
minion but the A. A. U. is. in the fight Tor
the control of skating to stay, and since
these men refused to abide by the anna
teur rules laid down by the A. A. U. they
will have to do something more than get
their Canadian cohorts to threaten the A.
A. u IL they would come out from the con-
flict with regulations whole as sport pre-
servers.

COMMISSIONERS CHANCES.
Look Like Winners in 'Pro" Basket
Ball League.

Since the latest publica ton of the stand
ing of the teams in the professional
league, the Commissioners have defeated
the Ordways and Infantry, and their
chances are good for the championship in
this league. Drager has improved wonder
fully in the last four games in which he
has participa ted, both on the offensive and
defensive, and If he continues the pace he
is going will no doubt be classed as one
of the best players in the District in the
professional league at the end of the sea-
son.
The Infantry team apparently had a safe
lead for high honors when the league start
ed last October, as it won the first five out
sioners and Ordways were fighting for Sec
ond place, with the EaSternS trailing at the
end position with no competition.
The Infantry team no doubt lost its
chances Cor the pennant when Robey its
crack center, broke several bones in his
ankle while playing in one of the games
in the early part Of the season. and at
the present time one can see that he does
not play with the snap and vim he did
before he was injured.
In Lotus and Barker, when in condition,
the Infantry team has two players who
can compete with any players playing
basket ball in the United States, as both
these players have received offers from the
Camden and several other professional
teams in New York and Pennsylvania,
but they cannot leave their business inter-
ests in this city, as the basket ball season
lasts only five months. The same could
be said Of Reyes, Thompson and Sannino
of the Ordways; Moriarity, Chism. Handi-
Doe and Drager OF the Commissioners. and
James and Dunn Of the Easterns, all of
whom undoubtedly would make good If
given a chance.
The league closes its season next month,
and at present the Commissioners. pro-
vidng that none OF its players meet with
an accident. have the best chance to win
the championship. as in the. rest Of the
schedule. with the exception Of two games,
they have easy sailing.
The standing Of the teams Is as fol-
lows:
Won. Lost.
