for this Tuesday afternoon at Union

game with confidence, az this schooi COM

Championship game to the tune OF 10 to L.
The Machinists will play against the
business lads with determination and
seek revenge for the terrific beating the
Central boys administered to them In the
first game of the season. 1t will be a
contest we'll worth seeing, you can place
bet on that.
With both Coach Sprigman OF Central
and Coach Peet of Business claiming the
championship for their charges is
easily predicted there VIII be something
doing when these two teams hook up In
competition. Both teams are built along
the same lines, being composed mostly OF
youngsters, playing the game together.
Each nine also has a reliable finger and
many expect to see pitchers battle
between these two mines. 1t can safeiy
be said that this contest will be the de-
Gliding game of the series and that the
nine coming out victorious will land the
bunting. Business annexed the pennant

for good. This comes a severe setback
to Business. for it leaves the nine without
the services of a seasoned catcher. 1t is
true that Manager Naughton Is a capable
substitute. but II is very difficult for a
player who is used to playing nothing
but the outfield to get himself acquainted
with the position behind the plate in such
a short period. Naughton was considered
one of the best outfielders in the high
schools last spring, and it is too bad he
will be compelled to give up his old posi-
ton in the outer garden. He is a willing
worker. however. and so will give the
team the hest he has in him.
Menefee is delivering the goods behind
the bat for Central and is handling Boet-
ler's delivery in clever style. His hitting
has also been hard and timely, and his
all-around work has proven the fact that
it was a lucky thing for the o streeters
when he succeeded in passing off his
funk
Contrary to the many reports that
Donovan will be the mainstay in the box
for Western this season. 1t was an
nounced by Capt. Stone that Todd would
do the bulk OF the pitching for; the boys
across the creek. Donovan Is laid low,
as usual. with the funk disease. and so 1t
will be necessary for Todd to work in
the championship games. Todd. by the
way. Is also delivering the goods and
with any hitting at all by his team
mates in the game with Central recently
would have given them q victory. He
mas improved very much since last year
and should prove stumbling block to
several OF the high school mines.
Now that every team has displayed its
ability in the championship contests it
looks as II the championship will go to
either Business or Central. with honors
about even. 1t Is peculiar fact that
each year Central has an excellent team
the results are not very gratifying. but
each season that the o Street boys are
not expected to accomplish much they
not only make a good showing. hut are

every respect to the team this spring.

JEFF Has Own Way.
BEN LoMoND. Cal. May Through
his Sunday schedule called for only an
hours work in the gymnasium, Jeffries
stretched it to two because he felt in the
humor for it.
Jeffries is a great believer in following
the bent Of inclination. Enforced exer-
else, he holds, really does more harm than
good.
The big fighter is a man of moods and
his disposition for work ia regulated en-
tirely by his feeling" of the moment.
That Is why it is so difficult to predict
with certainty a program Of training for
him even day in advance.
Berger. his manager, wisely refrains
from attempting to bring his wtllful
charge under the yoke of a disciplinary
schedule. He realizes that Jeffries is no
shirker and that II left to himself he will
accomplish even more, and with more
beneficial results, than he would were he
following a routine grind

lists Of the national bowling tournament,
which closed at the Garage at midnight
Saturday. were completed yesterday and
last night all the prize moneys won were
mailed to the various winners. thus clos
ing the affairs of the Baltimore Tourna-
ment Company.
This was the most successful national
bowling event ever held in this country.
The great success Of this tourney is en-
tirely due to the efforts and business
manner in which the head Of the local
company, President George H. Pryor.
and his corps of assistants handled at
fairs. During the entire tournament not
a single kick was filed with the local pro-
moters. The local bowlers did not man
age to carry off as big q portion of the
prize money as was expected of them. but
they rolled against the very best bowlers
in the country, and even at this they
were fifth in the individuals, third in the
doubles and eighteenth in the five-man
scores.
The worlds record in the individuals
with score Of 705. This score breaks
the National Bowling Association record
Of 800 and gives Prio an additional % per
cent Of his prize money.
DOC W1cknam helQ up the baltimore
end of the event with a total OF 685. and
carried off fifth prize. worth $l38.25.
Harry Brauer and Joe Krichton, two
loca! men. also figured among the first
fifty winners in the individuals. they
standing thirty-ninth and forty-eight, re-
spectively.
The National Bowling Association rec
ord Of 1878 in the doubles. made two
years ago by McGurk and Grady Of
Paterson. remained unbroken. Burdine
and Eckstine Of Washington carried of
first prize in the local event. with q score
of 1906. winning $685.
Krichton and "Scotty.'' two local men.
came in third In this class with total Of
,2J2. which was worth $2O4.2O. This was
the best showing made by local team
In the doubles. although several small
prizes were taken by local men.
In the f1ve-man event the Diamond
team made the best score among the
local entries. rolling 2.717, which placed
them eighteenth in the list.
The Metropolitans, who were looked
upon as leaders in this event. made a
poor showing. scoring only 1858 pins
which placed them forty-third In the prize
list.
