NATIONAL CAPITAL
DUCKPIN LEAGUE

The Nationals still continue to lead In
the newly organized National Capital
Duckpin League by large margin. They
have for the thirty games which have
been played the large percentage of 1896
this being 100 points to the good from
their nearest competitor. The Subway and
Y. M. c. A. are running close for second
honors. There are but three points be-
tween these two crews, while the I'm
maculate and Casino are fighting hard
for fourth position.
The race in this league is becoming
very interesting, as the teams have had
to roll over the 500 mark to hold any of
the honored positions.
This goes to show that the league is
the equal of the best in the city and will
furnish some of the best duckpin rolling
in its future games.
Yates OF the Casinos has the highest in
dividual game by splitting 1874 pins.

the prospects OF subsequent games, there
is no doubt that todays performance

That soccer is not joke at the West
End school is clear from the words of
the faculty director of athletics and from
President Carlin of the university ath-
letc association. Neither of these men
believe that it will usurp the old game,
which every one now believes will again

Fauntleroy Was Consistent.

Fauntleroy. the two-year-old bay son of
Little Saint and Flickamaroo, was q very
consistent performer under the silks of
Mrs. Mclaughlin. He was winner of six
races. was eight times second and four
times third. On one occasion, when he
finished second. he was disqualified, so
that his tabulated performances will only
show his being seven times in the p ace.
AS in the case of Arondack. none of the
performances of Fauntleroy while in
Canada are shown in the table.
Fauntieroy could not have had an ear
lier start in the east. He was sent n
the first race of the opening day of the
Pimlico meeting. April "a. In that race
he was good second to August Bel
monts Sou. In four other starts at the
same track he failed to leave the maiden
class, and when he was started in the
Victoria stakes at Toronto he was beat
en-. His next race at Toronto was bis
first victory.
He did not win at Montreal, though
starts. and his next victory was at the
Hamilton meeting. Mclaughlin started
him once at Fort Erie. when he was
third to Turf Star and King Solomon,
and after that race he was returned to
New York to take part in the meeting
at Yonkers. There he was once a win
ner and twice second in three starts.
AT Saratoga he was good second to
Waldo In the FlaSh stakes and third to
Sweep and Louise S. in another race. 1t
was at this track that Faunteroy was
disqualified. and the ruling came in the
United States Hotel stakes. In that
race he was ridden by Powers, and he
was charged with interfering with Wal
do. Fauntleroy was a close second to
Grasmere at the finish, but was dis
qualified. while Powers was suspended
and was not permitted to ride again
during the season.
1t was in the fall of the year that
Fauntleroy showed to best advantage
One of his best races was in the Cham
payne at Belmont Park, when he took
up 122 pounds and ran the seven fur
longs in La 3-5, beating, among others,
kingship, Candleberry and Grasmere. He
was giving weight to everything in the
race with the exception of Grasmere
Following this he won three races at
Pimlico, his last race there being In the
mile of the Walden stake. in which he
took up Id pounds. and conceding weight
to everything that started finished the
mile IN 1.4U 80 over a slow track His
last start of the season was in the Mas
sau handicap at AqUeduct. when he was
sent In an all-ased field. He set a lively
pace to the head of the stretch, but fall
tered badly there and was we'll beaten.
Personal winner OF $500 for the stable.

Arondack a Useful Filly.

Arondack is Nursery bred filly, being
by Hastings and from Astoria. As a
two-year-old she showed herself to be
useful tilly, and all through the past
season, though she only won five races.
she was always sent with the best ones
and she was eighteen times third or bet
ter Her f1rst appearance of the year was
at Pmilco. April -, when she was sent
IN the Spring handicap of the Maryland
Jockey Cluo. She was beaten In that
race ana In three other starts she failed
10 finish inside the money.
from there she was sent to the meet
ing of the Ontario Jockey club, at
Woodbine. Toronto, and Incidentally the
races she ran In Canada are not usea
IN the table of winnings. In her first
start there she was a good second to
Guy Fisher, and her second race over the
NoodDlne course was one of her best
EFFORTS of the year. 1t was in the mile
ana a furlong OF the Toronto cup ana
with los pounds In the saddle she had
H1fdreth's King James straight at the
hnlsh. King James had won the Metro
polltan and later was winner of the
Brooklyn handicap, and, in fact went
through his year with only one defeat
registered against him.
Arondack failed in both the King Ed
ward Hotel gold cup and the Waterloo
handicap, at Woodbihe. but when taken
to Montreal she scored in the Windsor
Hotei cup. beating All excellent field. In
the Blue Bonnets handicap she was just
beaten by Terah, and that was her last
start the other side of the border
At the Yonkers meeting of the Empire
City Racing Association she won her
first out-a mile race. 1t was a pre-
iiminary for the five-thousand-doilar En-
pire City handicap, but she failed in that
running. She was a good third to Jack
Atkin and Half Sovereign in the Fleet
wing, and that race. was followed by d
victory In the Yonkers handicap. In
that race she beat, among others, such
good ones as Fashion Plate, Alfred Noble
and Half Sovereign.
In the knickerbocker handicap, that
followed shortly afterward, she was again
a winner. and both Field Mouse and
Prince Gal finished behind her. She was
third to Half Sovereign and Jack Atkin
in the running Of the Mount Vernon
handicap. ana that brought her season
al the track on the hill to close.
Her first appearance at Saratoga was
in the Delaware handicap, in which she
was just beaten by August Belmont s
Field Mouse. She was unplaced in the
Merchants and Citizens. and her next
start was in the Huron handicap, in
which Choirmaster of Chesterbrook, with
the feather of eighty-seyen pounds on his
back. beat her home over a heavy track.
Arondack did not win another race
until October u, at Pimlico, though she
was repeatedly second or third. and al
ways to good horse She proved her
self a wonderfully serviceable FLY in the
way she stood her long training, and at
the close of the season, though she had
few idle days, she looked just as well as
when she was first sent to the races.

BUSH FIGHT FIRST
FOR JACK JOHNSON
Champion Recalls Victorious
Battle That Gave Him
Start ID Years Ago.

What was the hardest fight / ever
had? Well, it happened a long time be-
fore l was twenty-one years DID,"
Jack Johnson, when in Indianapolis last
week, recalled his first effort in the prize
ring when he related the story of his
first battle as a boy of seventeen years
Of age. Said johnson:
1T was fourteen years ago near my
old home in Galveston, Texas. that had
my maiden battle. l was matched with
John Lee, who was regarded then as
the heavyweight champion of the south.
He was veteran of the ring, and I was
only kid seventeen years old, and the
trouble We had in pulling off that fight
didn't add anything to my confidence
We were matched to fight on the
beach near Galveston. but the authorities
got after us and chased us fourteen miles
into the country. There in an open field
the ring was pitched, ard before such
spectators were able to follow us in
our flight We went at it.
