Surprise, In Hot Fight.

As the various tenpin and duckpin
leagues draw close TO the seasons bowl
ing finish all of the leaders. with one
exception, have held their own during
the past two weeks. This one excep-
tion is contrary to all moving picture
and wild West precedents, the Indians
having downed the Cowboys in the Y.
NJ. c. A. Duckpin League.
The Railway Relief Association Ten
pin League has closed its season with
the Track and Roadway easy winners.
In the majority of the leagues the
leaders have the championship cinched,
but two of the tenpin leagues are hav-
ing hot fight for first place.
In the new District the Fat Men, last
years champions, and the team that
made the best showing at the American
Bowling Congress and National Bowling
Association meets of any of Washing
ton tenpin representatives, is close on
the heels of the Colonials, who have
been the seasons surprise in tenpindom.
In the G. p. o. Union League the An

With playing grounds assured at
North Capitol and l. streets north
west. and five clubs ready to purchase
franchises, the Capital City League
will endeavor to close up all its re-
organization business at the meeting
called for Wednesday night. in the
office of President James O'Shea in
the Century building.
The decision about leasing the site
at North Capitol and l. streets was
reached at a meeting Yesterday, after
due consideration had been given an
other proposed site at Fourth and L
streets northeast. Improvements will
be started on the grounds Immediate
ly. Fences will be erected on three
sides and a brick building will serve
the same purpose on the other, side
of the field. No complaint from the
Sibley Hospital is anticipated by the
league officials, but il is not thought
likely that Sunday ball will be at
tempted.
One of the other important items OF
business transacted yesterday was the
signing of Billy Belts as umpire

WreStlers Are Ready
For Championship Bout

Sam Anderson, holder of the Lord
Lonsdale belt and rightful claimant Of
the middleweight wrestling champion
ship, is n this city ready for his bouA
with Joe Turner, at the Gayety Theater
tomorrow night.
Anderson says that he Is in perfect
condition, and while not depreciating
Turner's ability, is of the opinion that
both belt and championship will not
change hands at the meeting. He is
near the required weight-15S pounds.
Contrary to the general belief, Ander-
son is not English, but an American.
He was born in Sweden, but has lived
in this country most of twenty years.
He won fame at the Lonsdale wrestling
tournament in Manchester, England, in
1908. He threw forty-three wrestlers for
the middleweight belt. On returning to
this country he threw Walter WilIough-
by, of Cleveland, the then recognized
middleweight of the world!
The match with Turner will be a
finish affair, best two of three falls,
and will be for the middleweight cham
pionship of the world.

By Goldberg

The personnel Of the New District

Railroad Y.M.C.A. League
Discussing Eligibility

A difference of opinion as to several
rules in the eligibility code is causing
considerable trouble in the Terminal
Railroad Y. NJ. C.. A. Baseball League.
but it is expected that matters, will
be smoothed out at a meeting Of the
committee on management of the Y.
M. G. A. next Monday.
With the announcement of South
ern's determination to stick in the
circuit, the roster of clubs is now
complete. The other teams that will
compose the circuit this year are
Union Station, Adams Express, Audi
tors, Southern Railway, Coach Yard,
and Heat, Light, and Power Plant.

New Capital City Park.

1t certainly appears as though there
will be a surfeit of amateur and semi
pro baseball in the vicinity of the old
Malone lot during the coming season.
The decision of the Capital City
League to erect a new plant at North
Capitol and l. streets means that, with
the old park, there will now be two ball
games going each afternoon within easy
walking distance of each other.
Whether there will be interest enough
in that section to support both the Dis
trict and Capital Leagues only the de-
velopments of the next few weeks will
tell, but it certainly looks like the sur
vival of the fittest, as the organization
which will receive the better patronage
will be the one which furnishes the bet
ter article of baseball.

Washington Bowlers
Won Money in Tourney

The Washington bowIers did not come
home empty handed as was first
thought. In making out the official
averages it has been found that the
Capital City bowlers are just 1923 richer
after their efforts at Buffalo.
The Jolly Fat Men topped the list with
500 for their work in the team events.
Besides the members of this team did
good work in the individuals and in the
doubles. The list Of Washington prize
winners follows:

Jake Decker a loser.

In the fire at National Park Friday,
Jake Decker, official handler Of refresh
ments suffered a loss estimated at sew
eral hundred dollars.
While he had no supply of refresh
ments on hand, Decker lost about 500
leather seats, and he is now figuring
on how he will be able to get In another
supply in time for the coming season.
Incidentally Decker explained to me
that the supposed cartridges, which
some of the spectators at the fire heard
going off, were simply few extra bot
ties of pop that exploded when the
flames invaded the room where Deckers
off-season stock was stored.

Crossley to retire.

A score Of years ago the most prom
inent physical director in this city was
John Crossley, who directed the classes
of the Columbia Athletic Club, when
that organization was at the height of
its popularity.
After the fatal Georgetown-C A. c.
football game on Thanksgiving Day, the
athletic club lost standing so speedily
that Crossley resigned and later accept
ed the gymnasium directorship at Ham,
ilton College in New York State.
After twelve years there he has re-
tired and the other night at farewell
banquet he was presented with a loving
cup by the student body. He will return
to his home here. but has no definite
plans for the future.

GEORGETOWN PREP
QU|NTET'S RECORD
Lost But Three of Twenty
Games Played and BY
Few Points.

The Georgetown Prep basketball.
team brought its schedule to a close
during the past week with strong
claims to the inters cholastic basket
ball championship of Washington.
With the exception of last year. this
past season has been without doubt
the most successful that the preps
have ever had in basketball. Out OF
twenty games played. the preps lost
but three and each of these was lost
by a margin of three points or less
One game was lost to st. Johns at
Annapolis by one point one to Y. NJ.
c. A. by two points and the third to
Eastern High School also by two
points. In each case, however, the
preps turned on their victors and in
the following game inflicted decisive
defeat.
That the preps won most of their
games by handsome margin is evil
dent from the fact that the preps
scored 425 points to their opponents
l61. The highest score made by the
preps was 8S points in a game with
one of the Washington quintets.
Loehl Threw Most Goals.
For the preps. Captain Loehl proved
the biggest point getter from field
goals, making grand total of SO goals
for the season. Lawler, with 4s goals
to his credit. comes second. and Shug-
rue with 46 field goals takes third
honors Martin. Lane. and McInerpey
also made good showing in Goal
tossing. coming not far behind the
first three.
tion will shortly be held to determine
the award of G. P.'s and also to hold
the election for next years CAPTAIN,
The much sought letter will be re-
awarded to Captain Loehl. Mana ger
Mclnerney. Shugrue, Lane, and Mar
tin. and they viii be given for the
hrst time to Daley and Marum. Billy
Martin looks like the most probabI
choice for next seasons captain,
though it Is expected that DALEY will
run him close second.
The prospects for next years team
are not especially bright, as the four
best players VIII be lost to the team
by graduation into the college.

five for Saratoga. The meeting then
adjourned until yesterday.

the association, called the meeting to

that city received only two votes on the
first ballot. Albert F. Forthmiller was
sponsor for Saratoga. He made strong
appeals to the delegates, saying that
Saratoga had the national regatta in
1895, and until this year made no effort
to obtain II again.
Although Saratoga has no boat houses,
temporary shacks will be provided until
boat houses can be built A fund will
be raised by the business men of Sara
toga for such purposes.
Ernie Smith, crack oarsman of the
Union Boat Club, of Boston, made an
equally strong plea for his city. He
stanch supporters of rowing in the Bay
State were eager to have the regatta in
Boston. Boston wants the regatta next
year, now that you have decided In
favor of Saratoga, and we want to feel
that you gentlemen will submit to our
request without any such deplorable
controversy as took place at this meet
tng," Smith said, after the deadlock was
broken.
Turfman There.
Forthmiller, in requesting the dele
gates to sanction July 2S and g as the
dates for the regatta, explained that at
that time Saratoga wiz be visited by
many turfmen, and hehce the dates he
suggested are sure to bring good results
from an attendance viewpoint After
the dates were decided on, it was sug-
gested that one special event, an inter
city championship Octopede race, be
added to the regular list. This will be
acted on favorably by the regatta COM
mitee. In connection with the regatta
championships, Saratoga will have mo-
tor-boat championship contests, and a
special shell race between Riley and
Ten ENVck the famous veteranS will
take place on the day prior to the start
of the rowing races.
