REAL ESTATE LEAGUES
BOWLING AVERAGES

With only two more weeks of pin topping
in the Real Estate Bowling League the Co
lumbia and Potomac teams are fighting
neck and neck to land the championship
of 1867. The Columbus look at present to
have sure thing on the championship, as
they have to win but three out of the next
nine games, and they will surely do this,
as their nine games are against the three
tail-enders. Potomac may win all of their
remaining six games and still land no bet
ter than second place. The LAWYERS by
winning all of their nine remaining games
have chance to take third place provided
the Assessors drop at least one-half of
their six games which remain to be played
The Assessors have fallen back from a per-
centaSe of 800 to .4S4, having lost four out
OF the last six. The Lawyers have gained
few points as has the Washington, but the
real hight is between Columbia and Po-
tomac for premier honors and the Assessors
and Lawyers for third place. The Potomac
and Washington teams have three games to
play to complete the same number of games
as the others. Robinette of the Potomacs
has picked up his old form of bowling and
will make the rest of the boys hustle to
capture the individual honors for the sea-
son. He made an average of 215 in his
games against the City Hall team.
The Columbia team has gone off one
poilil III team dN tldSt. though II Seems 10
be assured first in this as we'll as the
championship with average of ST., hav-
ing made 1Ho strikes, 1.517 spares and
topping 5a,SSI pins. In the individual av-
crages Eckstein still continues to LEAD with
Isl, Brosnan second with 1874 and Robinette
third with 1s2. Marsh of the Columbia
team continues to hold the high game
score with 2AS. while Akers holds the most
number of strikes with Do, BOntz the most

THOROUGHBREDS BURNED
AT SHEEPSHEAD BAY

NEW YORK, March 25.-Eleven highly
bred race horses and one carriage horse
belonging to Thomas l.. Watt were de-
stroyed by fire. together with the stable in
which they We're locked, near the Sleeps
head Bay race track early yesterday morn
ing. Among the horses burned was Fine
Cloth by Melton, the sire of Sysonby, out
of Flora. which was valued by Mr.. Watt
| at $1OO OoO. The fire. which was of an I'M
known origin. is believed by Trainer Woods
to be the work of an incendiary.
Before the fire department arrived from
Sheepshead Bay there seemed every indica-
ton that the stables containing Senator L.
II. McCarren's and NJ. l.. Hayman's horses
would become enveoped in the blaze The
heat was terrific and every horse was
blanketed and hooded in preparation to be-
ing removed at the shortest notice. Similar
precautions We're taken with the horses In
David Gideon's stable which was near by.
A stable boy named 'Aste gave the alarm
by which time the heat was SO great that
many of the jockeys and stable boys ran
out in their night clothes, and did not re-
turn until the fire was nearly out.
After the fire only lot of smoldering
hay and straw and the charred remains of
the horses were to be seen. Fine Cloths
head was entirely burned from his body
and with most of the other horses the legs
We're burned off.
1t Is practically an lmpoSSl bllty to place
an estimate upon the amount of the loss.
There no insurance on the horses, and
the amount carried on the stable was
trifling. Trainer Woods said the value of
the horses was somewhat sentimental, as
nearly all of those burned were two-year
olds and might have developed into valu
able racers. Mr.. Watts chief concern
was over Fine Cloth. a fouryear-oid,
which won the Twin City handicap last
summer.
Among the most promising of the two
year Odds which met death in the fire was
Star Of the Ocean, an imported colt by
Orion-Columbian, brought to this coun
try last fall. The other horses in the barn
were Sir William johnson, bay colt by
Clifford-La Tosca II. purchased by MIR.
Watt from the Sanfords; Gitchie Manitou,
a three-year-old gray colt, by Belmar-
Maid of Harlem; Lady Prudence, a six
year-old bay mare. by Ben Strome-Pru-
dence; Mania, twO-year-Old flly by
BelInar-Miss Jessie; Miss Orn.ss, three
year-old flly by Ornus-I.ady Mccain;
Pink and Blue, a two-year-oli flly by
Kingston-Cap and Bells Lady Warren

These liberal offers have been made
through the courtesy of Robert II. Sexton

this subject began fifteen months ago with
local enthusiasts. The jamestown expo

Every fancier in this section of the coun-

effected during the young bird flying season

preparing to attend the liberation and
assist the special convoyeur in his duties.
This race will be the first concourse in
Washington for several years, and SO We'll

their respective clubs at the outcome that
they are looking forward for a long-dis-

renewed by the recent gathering. and
harmony is in the ranks of flying circles,
with prospects of continuing indefinitely.

WOULD WIN THE EVENT
MIDDIES' PROSPECTS IF THEY
WENT TO PHILADELPHIA.

If the United States mldshipmen win out
in their fight to secure permission to send
an eight-oarded crew to the intercollegiate
regatta at Poughkeepsie on the Hudson the
middies will receive the biggest welcome
ever accorded to any crew in any regatta.
The middies are wanted as badly at Pough-
keepsie they want to row there them
selves. 1t is safe to say that every infiu-
ence which can be brought to bear will be
secured to break down the opposition of the
government officials who heretofore have
refused permission for the crew to row
away from Annapolis.
Not only are the midshpmen wanted at
Poughkeepsie, but a movement is foot
to secure their presence at the fifth annual
american regatta" which is to be held on
the Schuylkill river May %. There is even
more likelihood of the navy being repre-
scented at Philadelphia Tran at Poughkeep-
sic. One of the chief obstacles to the
Poughkeepsie regatta is the length of the
preliminary training which is taken on the
Hudson prior to the big regatta. The col
lege crews all there from week to
two weeks, practicng twice daily over the
course. Not only does this take good deal
of time, but it is very expensive and for
Annapolis to do it would require more
money than Annapolis has for such pur-
poses because Congress certainly would
not appropriate any funds for the trip.
At the american regatta" conditions are
totally different. The Philadelphia race is
only d mile and fiye-siXteenths, practically
what the middies are accustomed to row.
For them to train for a four-mle race at
Poughkeepsie would require more time and
d totally different method of coaching. The
expense Of rowing at Philadelphia would be
a negligible quantity. The middies have
quite a number Of friends in the American
Rowing Association who would be willing
to donate the necessary funds to defray the
expenses of the trip. The middies would
not need to go up before the night preced-
ing the race and could, therefore, secure
the consent of the naval authorities, be-
cause they would be absent from the acad-
envy only one day. The association is now
making plans along this line and there
need be no surprise if the middies are seen
on the Schuylkill
If the middies compete at the american
regatta" they are quite likely to win
event. One of the rules of the race is that
all oarsmen are eligible who have not Occu-
pied seats in a varsity eight-oarded race
at Poughkeepsie or New London. This
would make every member of the Annapo-
lis crew eligible for this race and would
give the middies q splendid chance to cap
t,lre the feature event of the regatta. The
problem of having the middies represented
at either or both of these regattas Is now
being worked out, and will be decided very
shortly the chances being that Annapolis
will row away from home this year for the
