COLUMBIA RACING
IMPROVES DAILY
Many Improvements Have
Been Made at Track.
.per;sI IN III. Washington Herald.

Special to The Washington Herald.
Columbia, S. c., Dec. with continued
good weather, the Improvement in the
racing and the interest manifested is be-
ing marked daily. New arrivals continue
to pour in from the North and the far
Western recing centers, which is severely
taxing the hotel accommodations of this
city.
There are now in the neighborhood of
600 horses on the track, and each day
brings forth new material to the races,
thereby making the fields larger and
more difficult for the public to pick.
Nevertheless, form has been so consist
ent that the public has profited by it..
Aeroplane flights have also added inter
est, and now that the steeplechase course
has been put in order many races Of that
kind will be given.
The management has set aside a por-
ton of the grounds for the numerous
automobile parties that gather daily. and
II is their intention shortly to erect a
clubhouse and retiring room for the gen.
tlemen. Nearly all of Americas best
racing riders are on the grounds and
accepting mounts, thus insuring clever
handling OF the thoroughbreds. The
starting has been very good, and with
the arrival of Mr.. Martin Williamson,
who will act as steward in the judges
stand. consistency of form will be insist
ed upon. 1t is gratifying to he manage
ment that the citizens of Columbia have
met them more than halfway in their
efforts to bring to Columbia a desirable
class OF money-spending public, and have
opened a bureau of information through
their local chamber Of commerce, which
is assisting materially the stranger with
in the gates to secure necessary accom-
modations, &c.

NO CHANGES IN
DISTRICT LEAGUE
Chamber Team Leading the
Saengers by -Four Games.

The past weeks bowling has not af-
fected the standing of the teams of the
District League and the Chamber Of
Commerce five is still leading by four
games over their nearest rivals for first
honors, the Saengers, while the Centrals
continue to bring up the rear of the pro-
cession.
The Chamberites missed an excellent
opportunity to increase their lead, when
by the rankest kind of. bush league bowl
ing they dropped the third game Of their
set to the Nationals by ten pins, the
Saengers also losing one game of their
set to the Government Printing Office
CsIint.
The Centrals took an unexpected brace
and trimmed the CAROLS handlly in two
out of three games on the latter's alleys.
High team set, 2,752, made by the Saen-
gers, still holds good as does the high
team score, 992 made by the leaders.
In the individual standing, Miller. of
the Saengers, continues to set the pace,
although not gaining in his average dur
ing the month. Van Buskirk jumped
from seventh to third position, Watson
dropping to fourth in standing with Bur-
dine In fifth place, two pins behind the
Central bowler.
Van Buskirk holds the record for high
game with 269. while Eiker's set of 6l6
has thus far withstood all attempts to
better it.
The complete averages Of all games
bowled to date follow:

GEORGETOWN QUINT
READY FOR MEDICOS
Good Game Expected at the
Arcade Tomorrow.

When the basketball quints represent
ing Georgetown and Baltimore Medical
College line up at the Arcade tomorrow
evening for the opening game of the sea-
son. the followers of the sport in this
city will undoubtedly witness one of the
most exciting and hard fought games
ever played in this city. as both con-
tenders are in excellent condition and
will be able to go at top speed for the
forty minutes of play.
Medical has been in training for about
the last six weeks, and will have three
or four men who played last year, as ex-
Capt. Lapham will play center, Capt.
Strickland a guard, and Daley forward.
II Sheurholtz is allowed to participate in
the game, he will play the other forward
position.
When Georgetown met Medical in
Washington last year, the Hilltoppers
were victorious by the scant margin Of
two points, having been compelled to
play four extra periods in order to de-
eide the contest Medical defeated the
local collegans in Baltimore during the
latter part of the season.
On the Blue and Gray squad are fif-
teen men and the coach is frank to ad-
NIT that he is having some difficulty In
deciding what men are deserving OF the
tive regular berths.
The ability OF Capt. Gibson, ex-Capt.
Schlosser. George Collifiower. Heiskell,
Graham, and Mccarthy is we'll known to
the local followers of the game. Sam
Foley and Doherty, both OF whom were
on the football squad, are two excellent
men. and will be hard to keep off the
varsity. Hollender from Blair Academy,
Whalen, LItschgi, Blake, and Mackey are
for the first time appearing in this city,
but when they are seen in action will
show that they possess a knowledge Of
the finer points of the game.
Coach CollifiOwer has been working
his men especially hard for tO-morrow's
game. as he realizes 1t is one Of the
hardest on the schedule. and that his
men will be obliged to exert themselves
to the limit in order to win, from the
aggressive Marylanders

Y. NJ. G. A. PLAYS
CARROLLS TUESDAY
Both CUNTS Are in Perfect
Condition.

What promises to be one OF the most
interesting games OF the basketball sea-
son will be played at Carroll Institute,
in Tenth street, Tuesday night, between
the Carroll Institute and Y. NJ. c. A.
quints. These two teams met last Satur-
day night and the Y. NJ c. A. boys were
returned winners after a hard struggle.
The Carroll team is now rounding into
condition and it is a safe prediction that
the Y. NJ. c. A. boys will have to make
a much better showing in this game
than in the last to defeat Prof. Joyce's
fast team.
preliminary game will be played be-
tween the Carroll Reserves and the Reb-
els OF the boys department OF the Y. NJ.
c. A, and If past records count for any
thing, this game will be as close and as
hard fought as the big one. 1t is note
worthy to mention, that although the
Carroll quint has had less than two
weeks practice they have been able to
get away with two out of three games
against the strongest teams in the league.
When such players as Fred Rice, Dick
Downey, and Jack Crogan, the former
Georgetown stars; besides Beaulac,
O'Dwyer, Shalin. Duncan, and other new
candidates get into first-class condition
II can be readily seen that the other
teams will, have to travel at fast clip
to hold their own against this strong
aggregation. The probable lineup for
Tuesday night will be as follows. Shalin.
right forward: Crogan, left forward:
Rice. center; Beaulac. right guard, and
Downey, left guard.
Y. NJ. c. A.-HaIl, left forward; Fra
zier, right forward; Walk, center; Nc
Kay, left guard, and Allwine, right
guard. The Carroll Reserves-Sullivan
and Healy. forwards; Degnan, center;
DAILY and Harris, guards.
Manager Long has not decided who will
be in his lineup. The first game will
be called at o'clock. Manager Crogan
is making preparations to take care Of
the largest crowd that has attended a
District league basketball game in re-
cent years. Jim Collifower, the popu-
lar arbitrator, will officiate.

By AL MACHLER.

1t is generally understood among the
tenpin bowlers in the District that the
American Bowling Congress rules and
regulations are the accepted standard
for local pin knights. One OF the rules,
however, which comes up for argument
occasionally is the question. in case OF a
tie or close game, where one pin DECIDES
the winner, what counts-the board score
or the book score-if both DO not talIy'
Until two years ago II was always de-
Cided by the book, and even now II you
ask a bowler, nine out of ten VIII say
the book decides Here is the rule OF the
American Bowling Congress on that
point:
Rule 29-In all so-caIled league games
A board score, which is open to public
view, shall be kept by the players OF
each team, and book score shall be Kept
by individual scorers appointed by the
captains. THE BOARD SCORE SHALL
BE THE OFFICIAL RECORD, and the
book score MUST AGREE WITH THE
BOARD SCORE at the finish OF game.
After book score is signed by opposing
captains and the scorer, II shall be de-
Clared the official score. No change shall
he made in the scorers during the prog
ress of the game, unless for incompe-
tence or by the mutual consent Of both
captains
is in all probability the more correct, as
each bowler is likely to see that he gets
the full credit for whatever pins he made
and as both sides generally watch the
board, any mistakes occurring are bound
to be noticed by some one. while the
scorer keeping the book is, as a rule,
apart from the bowlers, and Ito err is
human" he may make errors which are
not discovered until the game is over or
until it is too late.
Besides, I want to convince Hammer

It will doubtless be of interest to the
many friends of Howard A. Bontz to

and is now full-hedged member Of the
matrimonial league players.

CAMORRIST TRIAL EXCITING.
Witnesses and Counsel Accuse Each

VITERBO, Italy, October 2i.-Today's
hearing of the Camorrists case witnessed
a return to the vituperation and invective
that characterized some of the earlier
sessions of the court. Practically the en-
tire session was taken up with violent
accusations between the Witnesses par
ticularly Fragala. and Lioy. counsel for
the defendants. Fragala accused Iioy OF
being guilty with Enrico Alfano, the head
of the Camorra.

Lioy brought out another outburst by
characterZing Fragala as gambling

young. Fragala sprang to his feet and
grasped his chair. making ready TO at
tack Lioy. Alfano added to the excite
ment by shouting:

pocket
When quiet restored Fragala
showed document in an effort to prove
that Lioy had tried to blackmail him and
Lioy responded by heapinS insults on the
witness.
On the request of the crown prosecutor

HOMES FOR AUSTIN ORPHANS.
Children Who Lost Parents in Dis.
aster Will Be Cared For.

HARRISBURG, Pa. October 21.-Not
one of the children left an orphan by the
disas ter that swept away the heart OF
the borough of Austin will become pub
lie charge. Every one will be cared for In
a private home. and if the number of lit
tie ones who lost parents by the flood
were twice as large good homes could be
found for them.
More than sixty letters offering to care
for orphaned or destitute children were
received by Bromley Wharton, secretary
of the state board of charities, who han
died that branch of the states relief work
at Austin.
These letters came not only from Penn
sylvania, but from as far south as Flor
ida and as far west as Wisconsin. In
many cases people who had no children
of their own offered to provide for the
future of two or three of the Austin sur
fererS.
Thanks to the kindness of the people
of the northern tier of the state most or
the children will be brought up in homes
not far from where they lived
