ROGUE HAS
A BOOM ON

In preparation for the annual tourna-
ment OF the National Rogue association
at Norwich, Conn, which is scheduled
for the third week of this month, the
members OF the Beacon Hill Rogue cluo
are engaged In practice on the cluo
grounds at 17S Doyle avenue, this city. As
vet the number of local players who are
10 enter the Norwich tournament has not
been decided but there will be several
who will make the attempt to bring back
national honors.
The Beacon Hill Rogue club. which Is
the only rogue club In this part or the
state, was organized and began play July
4 this year The club grounds is in the
rear OF the residence OF the president.
Samuel b. Prentice. 17S Doyle avenue, ana
the other officials are Berton F. Kile. vice
president, and George r. Peterson, secre-
tary and treasurer.
Roaue, which is a scientific evolution of
croquet, calls for the utmost skill. and
while IT has not been much in vogue here
abouts for the past few years. has already
undergone -hea4thy-fevival with every
prospect of becoming a popular sport
again. The ground upon which the game
is played as seen during an inspection
OF the Beacon Hill Rogue club must be
perfectly level and smooth dirt court and
upon IL the balls are manipulated with
the same dexterity and science as exhib-
ited upon a billiard table. and In fact the
game resembles the latter to a consider
able extent, inasmuch the court is In
closed in bank of rubber upon which
carom shots are often made.
The Beacon Hill club members have be-
come enthusiastic even in the short time
which the club has been in existence and
plans have been perfected for wiring the
grounds for the installation OF electric
lights, to permit playing after niefhtfall,
as Is done at the Norwich tournament.
Another club Is in process OF formation
now on the East Side and In a short time
the court will be ready for playing
