Rise of the Ten Eycks,

The Ten Eycks from time immemo-
rial have been wonderful watermen.
It's quality which sticks in the fam
lily just like the Poes are all winning
football players. Jim Ten Eyck
coached the Syracuse crew to victory
IN both the varsity eight oar and the
four oar events at Poughkeepsle, N. Y,
recently, when outside opinion almost
Sneered at the university's chances.
Ten Eyck never minded the unfa-
vorable criticisms when he took his
crews to the course for practice, but
plodded on with his men and fitted
them to take first honors. 1t must
have been doubly pleasing to Ten
Eyck, for his son, jim junior, stroked
the winning eight Dared shell.

DR. Dwight empowering him to challenge

DEFEATED BALTIMOREANS

| The Royals. bowling team from this
city, which will accompany the o. G. o.
| team to the bowling congress to be held
| in Cincinnati. went to Baltimore Thurs
day and played a number of match games
on the Criterion alleys. Though both the
Royals and o. G. O.'s are strong teams
neither played such tenpins as they have
proved themselves capable of putting UP.
The o. G. o. team is the representative
one from Brehms League. The players
Thursday got a number OF unfortunate
splits. but there were many spares missed.
Matches played resulted as follows:
Singles-Royals won -
Doubles-Royals Won g.
Three-man team-O. G. O. won . ROYALS
won 1.
Five-man team-O. G. O. won > Royals
Won I.
The best individual bowling done by a
| member of the Royals was that of Will
liam Marshall. who was formerly prom
inent trapshot and bowler Of Baltimore.
He is now a resident of this city. 1t is
probable that the bowling congress after
the coming assembly will adopt duckpins
and make this game part of future con-
tests.
Washington and Baltimore have some
remarkably clever duckpin bowlers and
the Royals propose to see which has the
better team. To decide this Messrs List
