OF billiards between the Fat Men and
the Elks took place Saturday night
This time the games were played
on the Fat Mems tables, and again

struggle was the desperate encounter
between Gus Wade, Of the Elks. and
George Campbell OF the Fats. In the

that Baltimore shall not Jag behind In
this event

OF never having been defeated.
Vail has turned out many winning
crews for the ArieIs, beginning with the

since then.
The expense has been one thing that
has heretofore held them back. but As
bOtil Of the local rowing clubs have
very generously donated the use of their
lighthouses and equipment, well as
provided a trainer, there IS no reason
why the sport should not go forward.
