NATIONAL GUARD GAMES.
Officials to Look After Spectators q
Well as Contestants.

Ono OF the features Of the eleventh
annual games Of the National Guard
Athletic Association. to be held In the
National Guard Armory Hall, March 81.
which should appeal to both par
Elephants therein and onlookers. and Pc
culiarly to the onlookers, will be the
elimination Of the greatest Of all petty
nuisances usually attendant upon indoor
athletic. meets.
Capt. C. Eugene Edwards, under whose
management the games are to be held,
has determined there shall be none of
that swarming about the finish line of
muItitudinous officials and tr ck-privileged
persons, who. however necessary, indi-
yidualIy, each may be or may have been
during the progress Of the meet, are col
lectively, at the particular moment of
the finish of this or that special race. as
unnecessary to Its completeness as q
caudal appendage to the human anat-
omy, and as bOthersomely useless.
The athletic board considers the elm
ture as worthy Of as much careful con-
sideration as the introduction OF sew
eral events, and are SO treating it, real
izing that the games should be so staged
and conducted as to be highly inter-
esting from q spectatorial viewpoint as
well as to get the best results from the
contests. and that the enshrouding of
the finish of q closely contested event in
a mass Of officials tends to not only
dampen enthusiasm and cause general
dissatisfaction. but to bring about a
questioning of the judges decisions an
open finish would obviate.

WARM BOXING BOUTS.
Seager and Whitman to Fight 70.
morrow Night.

BALTIMORE. Nd, February 36-Mau.
ager Harry Jeffries Of the Monumental
Sporting Club last night matched Harry
(KiO ssager and Kid Whitman to clash
in the semi-wind-up to the nfteen-round
bout between Joe seiger Of Denver and
Johnny Dohan Of New York at Al
baugh's Theater Monday night Though
Whitman will outweigh him BY some
pounds, Seager gamely consented to face
him, as 1t 10 his intention Of knocking
out whitman and then getting on q star
bout with some out-of-town lightweight,
possibly the winner Of the Eeiger-Dohan
mill. Seiger recently showed that he is
due some consideration by having q shade
on Terry McGraw In their recent six
round bout here
Seager put up great argument with
McGraw. for although the south Balti-
morean had some weight on him, had a
longer reach and was taller. he easily
outfought him In the last two rounds,
staggering McGraw repeatedly with left
and right hand punches on the jaw. As
Whitman is rugged boxer. Seager may
have a merry time in trying to stop him.
1t Is probable that Halle Murath. who
calls himself the Dangerous Turk" will
be matched with Frank Lynch, the local
middleWeight champion. In contest on
the mat The Turk recently arrived here
to get on match with Americas. but as
he will not weigh over 100 pounds. Man
ager Jeffries does not think very seri-
ously of pitting him against the local
pride. Jeffries would like to have him
grapple with Lynch. and IL he beats the
local man then he might give him a
chance with Americas. Lynch is to re-
turn to Baltimore from the Lehigh Uni
versity and he will have q talk shortly
after his arrival here with Manager JEFF
fries regarding bout with Murath. and
IL the Turk is willing he will take him

With one team Just one game advantage
over the others for the leadership and
three teams tied for second place Is the
way the race stands in the National Capt.
tai Duckpin League up to the present
time. The National team by some clever
bowling last week in capturing their en-
tire set from their opponent have again
put themselves into the lead. from which
they were ousted last week. This team
has done some good pin topping during
the season and 1t will be q hard matter
for the other teams to put them in bad at
this stage Of the game. They are only

averages Krauss stands out as the best
bowler. with an average Of lib for only
six games, but there are a number of
other men who ho.d an average Of LOG

should be given more credit for what

The Woodward & Lothrop quint is
certainly putting up q strong fight for
the pennant in the Commercial Duckpin

Justice Is Forced to Put the Soft
Pedal on Smoke

An order has been issued by the new
Bordwell, that smoking of any kind will
be allowed in department nine under any
circumstances. There never is any smoking
during trials in the various departments, but
in this instance the court declares that smoke
must not be allowed TO enter the room.
From this order would think that Judge
Bordwen was on the smokers water wagon"
but he isn't. He enjoys a good cigar along
with any votary at the shrine of the god Of
Nicotine. He declares there is nothing so
foul as stale cigar smoke, and he has ordered
his bailff, Walter Cole, to prohibit anybody
from moking in the department even before
after trial.
Now Cole was a railroad engineer for about
eighteen years, and knows thing or two
about smoke. Consequently, Judge Bordwell
was surprised entering the place from his
chambers with fat cigar in his face to have
Bailin Cole order him to "cut It out or get
out"
Here is where Judge Bordwells wel-known
judicial mind came to his rescue. He recog-
nized the inevitable and the obvousness of
complying with his own orders.
