BUSINESS READY
FOR FINAL RALLY
Championship Hopes AS
cend by Defeat of West
ern Aggregation.

By hitting the ball in pinches and
playing a great game in the field Bust
ness High School defeated Western yes
+ terday by : to 1, and came another
notch nearer that coveted pennant.
While Western has shown marked i'm
provement since its first game in the
/ high school series the result yesterday
was not surprise. as the form of the
Business outfit stamps it as one of the
best in the scholastic organization, and
! the most PROBABLE contender for final
laureis. BO-h players and students at
the Business school have the baseball
fever, this being the first time in the
past five years that the Orange and
Blue institution has produced a real
championship possibility. The players
seem more impressed with this fact that
anyone else, and beside being very much
alive and full Of snap whiic on the field
they are practicing daily ir anticipation
Of the coming games with Eastern and
Technical.
In Rawlings lies the destiny of the
Stenographer outfit. and never more
thoroughly was. the mettle of this
Eoungster shown then in yesterdays
contest. he held the Red and White
team TO four hits. and IN the Dinches ir-
variably proved master. This twirIer
has displayed wonderful developmeCt
IN the last few games ne has pitched,
and with the weather getting warmer
the rooters at the Business school feel
confident that by the time the Esse-n
and Tech games roll around Rawlings
VIII be in the best Of shape. and fully
capable OF taking the measure of both
these aggregations. Tech IL the one
most feared. and t&e nine will be train
ed up to this game.
Inheld Is Fast.
More than one favorable comment
was passed upon the snsppy work OF the
business infeId, and IT is expected, from
the comparative weakness of the team
in batting, that Coach Peet will prepare
his men for A defensive game against
both Tech and Eastern. Both Whitney
and Gray, who pitch for Eastern and
Tech, respectively, are pastmasters at
the pitching game, and although the
Business team has hit fatty well in
the Central and Western games It can
not hope 10 register this showing
against these men, although timely bin
giles of the nature Of those that cropped
out yesterday are dangerously liable to
put crimp into the most aggressive
opponent.
Western has only one more game to
play, that with the Technical team.
Weakness IN the pitching department
and at the bat has been, responsible for
the poor showing made in this series by
the Red and White aggregation. It
started the season with practically no
experienced material, and, this consid-
cred. its performance has been good

S. S. BOWLERS MARK
BIG FORWARD STEP
Furnish Strongest Evidence
Game No Longer Depends
Upon Saloons.
By THOMAS S. RICE.

A significant steI in the progress Of
bowling was marked last night at Union
Methodist Episcopal Sunday School,
when the annual b aQuet of the Sunday
School Bowling League was held.
The special signiflt ance in the gather
ing aside from its marking the close
Of a highly successful and harmonious
season was TIE presentation to the
Union team of the handsome cup which
The Times had offered for the team
winning 1t three times in succession.
The fact that the league had played out
its schedule for three years or q thor
oughIy businessIike basis and despite
the limitations to its membership reces-
sariiy due to the character of the organ
ization, spoke louder than any words
the firm establishment of bowling as
sport in itself, and not as a side issue to
a saloon.

Some ten or twelve years ago, when
bowling first began TO attract notice
after a long and disastrous eclipse. IL

living in a city where saloons were

disliked and decried by the temperance
and church element. But, by leaps and
bounds, bowling came TO the front as
the most patvon-zed Of all winter ath-
ietic Dastimes. Tentatively, timorous-
ly. daring promoters finally put forth
aowling alleys where no liquor or beSr
was sold. Come Of these pioneers

extremely valuable pieces Of property,
paying large dividends
It was about the time that bowling
proved il could live without saloons that
the demand for athletics and similar at
fractions for young me8 and women be-
gan to be most seriously agitated
among sincere but Abroad-minded
churchmen. Washington was one Of the
nrst cities to have its church, &c in
Tor baseball and other ne8lthy and
harmless amusements. and It gyas one
OF the first TO have a bowling league
for church members and another 4for
Sunday school members. The inuoTa-
ton proved all the most sangufne could
have expected, and bowling as an fnno-'
cent pleasure has gained sure footing

The Washington Sunday School Bowl

first, but stuck to its guns. rolled of
its schedules despite the ricissitudes OF

To Fix Salvage and Blame;
Republic Is Lost Forever

NEW YORK, January o8-With the
survivors from the steamships Republic
and Florida quartered In hotels
throughout the city or with friends or
relatives. with the Florida in port and
the Republic under forty odd fathoms
of water south Of Nantucket. Satur-
days disaster has practically passed
into history.
Although many little details and in
teresting points yet remain to be
cleared up, technical questions Of SAL
wage and responsibility are the prin-
cipal problems which remain unsettled
The wreck. barring a few minor criti-
cisms. will be recorded as one Of the
most picturesque and at the same time
admirably handled in history.
There appears to be little chance for
saving the Republic. She lies at the
bottom of the Atlantic at depth va
riously estimated at from 80 to IS
fathoms in one of the toughest stretches
OF water between Hatteras and Cape
Race.
Wreckers say that an effort to float
her would be foolhardy. In the opinion
of p. ]. Merritt, president of the Mer-
ritt-Chapman Wrecking Company, no
such attempt will ever be made
Vessels have been raised from a
depth of eighty fathoms, he said, but
only when they lay in sheltered POSI-
tions and not in the open sea.

owners decide where to send her for re-
pairs. The pier was the center of atten-
ton for crowd that blocked the water
front at times and sought to get a glimpse
of the injured ship.
Capt. Rosptni spent some time this
morning in conference with the agents of
the Lloyd Italiano line. He could not be
seen in regard to the happenings of the
Inflated cruise.
The bodies of the three dead of the
Florida's crew were prepared for burial
today. Two victims were mere boys
Balogero MartuSciin. sixteen years old,
and Salvatore D AMIGO. the fourteen-year-
old cabin boy. The third. Pasquale La
Vale. was twenty-three years old.
All but d AMIGO were from Naples. He
was from the region of the earthquake
near Messina. Driven from home by that
disaster. he was just starting in to work
in the transatlantic trade.
D'Amicos body was recovered from the
wreckage of the forecastle by the crew
on the way into port. The two other
bodies were not pried loose until last
night, after the Florida reached her pier.
All were mangled beyond recognition
from the frightful crushing in of the
forecastle.
