with the bowling game is bending every
effort to make the fourth annual tourna-
ment Of the National Bowling Association
at Baltimore. April 8 to 80 inclusive, q

hand in the matter and will pass a ruling
which will undoubtedly meet with the ap-
prevail of all participants.

sorry for bowling alleys to close promptly

promised to pass special legislation allow
ing the alleys to remain open continuously
from 1915 am. Monday. April IL, until Y

vention will be in progress.
The officials OF the tournament will be
very strict In the matter of receiving en-
tries this year. No entries will be con-
sidered bearing postmarks later than
March 26. Heretofore 1t has been a Gus
tom to extend time for making entry, but
this will be done away with this year, as
it will require the intervening two weeks
before the opening Of the tournament to
properly schedule the large number of
entries.

CHAPTER XIII.
Hans Takes a Trip.

One day in May Hans came into Hai
room with a letter from his sister, VINO
had come to New York to be present al
the wedding of former schoolmate TO
+ake place in Brooklyn the next week.
She asked Hans down to New York the
following Thursday and to accompany her
10 the wedding. She was visiting some
friends who lived in one of the New YORK
suburbs and wrote that she would meet
him at the Grand Central station at
o'clock in the afternoon and he could
then take her over to Brooklyn to be
present at the wedding which was to be
at o'clock.
Hans had never been in New York be-
fore and hesitated quite little about
making the trip alone. and wanted Hal
to go along. Hal couldn't afford to spend
the time or money just then, and re-
minded Hans that his sister had been in
New York before and probably knew
how to get around the best way, and he
needn't be nervous. He thought all Hans
sister wanted him for anyhow was as es-
cort SO Hans wrote he would be there
on time and made his preparations for

CHRISTIE QUITS RACING.
Discouraged by Failure to Defeat
Oldfield, Announces Retirement.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. March &c
Walter Christie, a bidder for five years
for honors i'm the worlds greatest auto
mobile events, has decided to retire from
racing. He made~the announcement yes
terday, following his failure to make
even q close decision with O!dfield in the
mile record trials. In future, he says, he
will devote his attention to business in
New York
Christie began his racing career in the
early days Of the Vanderbilt cup. He has
always competed with cars of his own
manufacture, in which he incorporated
the front-drive system, as opposed to the
rear-axie drive in universal use. He not
only tried for the American classic but
was the only representative Of America
in one Of the early French Grand Prix
races. The car with which he has been
racing for the last year was his most
ambitious effort to construct a world
beaten, and, while ii possesses great
speed, it's failure here has evidently dis
couraged him.
On the other hand, Oldfield, Christie s
conqueror, is looking for new triumphs.
Having broken five worlds records dur
ing his stay on the beach. he left yester-
day for Los Angeles, where he will take
part in the races on the new board track
beginning April S. He is confident that il
Ralph DE Palma is able to show up on
the new track with the big Fiat he will
be able to defeat him.

getting ready he got more and more ex-

be the Easter carnival of relays. In which
the following teams have entered: For'

A novel feature of announcing the va
rious events liz to be arranged by capt
Edwards. A large board is to be placed
on the balcony of the armory with large
numbers, SO that the spectators will
know when the various events are taxing
place.
There is considerable rivalry among
the guardsmen over the point trophy.
which is to be awarded to the team
scoring the largest number of points IN
the meet. Already the various COM
panies are In training. and some OF the
soldiers are making good time in their
trials.

his family since February Is, and nat
urally was anxious to get back home.
1t Is hard to get any sort OF an eN-
preston or opinion out of Silent George
Mcbride, but The Star representative cor
nered him last night and asked him
what he thought OF the team. After
thinking a minute, George said: "Well.
we are stronger in batters. and that
means a great deal. We lost big bunch

two. and I have been figuring that we

son. From the way George has been

is going to do his share toward accom-

The Washington fans must not overlook
big Joe Hovlik this season. Manager
McAleer has impressed the idea on the
big fellow that if he was able to strike
out the Three / batters he should be
able to fool the stars just as We'll Joe
is yeritable giant In strength, his arm
being like prizefighters. and he is so
pleased with his good treatment by the
boys that he is going to make good If
such thing is possible The injunction
to look out for himself In training mas
caught Joe as much as the other pitchers
and he will not betray McAleer's conf
dence.
The players went through their after
moons practice yesterday with great
gusto, as they knew it was the Wind-up
for the season at Norfolk. Bunting, run
ming the bases and hitting under signals
were gone through with. while Gray,
Groom and Hovlik got good WORKOUTS
in the box. All three were curv1ng or
hooking the ball. as they call 1t, and
the batters had their troubles landing
safely on the pellet.

YALE AND CORNELL HERE.
Will Clash at American League PARK
Monday Afternoon.

An opportunity seldom afforded fol-
lowers of college base ball to see two OF
the best base ball teams of eastern col
leges in action in this city will be given
Monday afternoon at American League
Park, when the Yale and Cornell unver-
stiles clash.
Invitations have been sent to President
Taft and Vice President Sherman to at
tend the game, which is to be called at
$3.50 o'clock 1t is expected that many
students of both institutions who are now
spending the Easter holidays here as well
as the graduates will be out in full force
to root for their respective teams.
Interest in the Yale game is not con-
fined only to the result of thecontest, as
Ted Coy. the All-American foot ba j
full back, is to twirl for Yale, and
on the Cornell team is Austin Howard,
the former Western High School boy,
who is holding down third sack. and con-
sidered enc of the best players at that
corner in the east.

REDLANDS, CAL, IS HONEST.
Gate Receipts Are Sent to Comiskey
After Team Departed.

LOS ANGELES, Cal. March 26-The
Chicago Americans have voted Redlands
the banner town of California for hon
esty.
Secretary Louis Comiskey has received
a letter containing a check for S113.62
from the Y. NJ. c. A. management, which
had charge of Tuesdays game in Red
lands. That represented the visitors
share of what money was turned in by
the spectators after the Chicago Ameri-
cans left town. Comiskey already had
been paid while there the $3.50 guarantee,
SO that the net proceeds from that game
amount to nearly SITS Because the
grounds are not inclosed there is no way
to collect money or count the people ex-
cept by taking coin from those willing to
pay to see game, and visitors depend on
the honesty of the hosts. The total re-
ceipts of the Redlands game were close
to $500. making it the best paying game
the club has played on thecoast and it
rained at that.
