Prisoners Seated at Small Tables.
the Atlanta Constitution


Preparations have been completed at
the federal penitentiary for seating the
prisoners at small tables in the dining
room instead Of seating all the SO men
together AT long. low benches.
The new method of seating the prison
ers for their meals is one of number Of
improvements which the warden has
made in the prison system In the past
few years. 1t involved the relaying Of
the dining room floor and the manufac-
turning of 1o4 small, reat tables for the
men.
Each table will seat eight men, and
under the new arrangement white and
colored prisoners will be separated
Formerly the men were seated in rows
or benches at long. desklike tables, and
,---re was no discriminate as to color
Relieving that the new system would
conduce more largely to the individual
prisoners self-respect and aid In estab-
fishing new viewpoint as to his obliga-
lions, the warden succeeded in providing
the small tables.

KNOCKED OVER 679 PINS

CHICAGO. March 23.-Prizes won by
bowlers in the two-man team and in
dividual events of the American bowling
congress tournament, which ended today,
were announced tonight None Of the
contestants in the minor events today
was able to disturb the leaders. The 1912
champions are Larry Sutton Of Rochester
y. Y, In the singles and Phil Sutton and
Nelson Owen of Louisville, KY, in the
doubles, while the all-event prize went
to Phil Sutton.
Larry Sutton, who made his champion
ship score of go March IL. is the first
man to win the individual title of the
American Bowling Congress twice, his
previous success coming in 1909 at Pitts
burgh, when he defeated Fred Brugge-
man of Sioux City, Iowa, in the play
off to break a, tie. His success this year
is even more remarkable than his first
one. as the field was the biggest and
best that ever had faced the pins in the
history Of the twelve A. B. c. tourna-
ments.
The winning of the two-man champion
ship by the Louisville bowlers takes that
honor to the Falls city for the second
time. The first championship was won
by F. G. Richter and Edward Bigley In
1907 at the st. Louis meet. Sutton and
Owen made their score of 1.259 March Il.
and, while it was regarded as prize
winner. few thought 1t would stand sub
sequent attacks
Phil Sutton's total In the all-events was
1.Si.;. .The victory was due to his splen-
did work in the doubles. Al Sailander of
Chicago landed second prize in the all
events. with total of ISIS.
Although Chicago carried off the big
gest amount of prize money in the five
man event local bowlers for the second
time in y. b. c. annals We're unable to
land a single championship. The first
time was in 1907 The only new tourna-
ment record set was that made by Louis
Nieletch of Kansas City, who set a
high game mark of $50, beating by one
pin the previous record held jointly by
William Miner of Chicago and Harry
Muggley OF ST. Paul.
Prizes aggregating more than 5000
were distributed among 213 teams in the
two-man event, while 80 figured in the
prize list in the individual event, which
totaied Sa496. The twenty highest prize
winners in the double and single events

0utfieIder Perry and Moriarty

FORMER FOR PROVIDENCE
One American League Club Has Al
ready Bid for Third
Baseman.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
MONROE, La, March 23.-It Is OK
tremely likely that Henry Perry, the
prize slugger of the International Lea
que last year, over whose trade to De-
troit certain critics in the International
circuit made such syndicate BALI fuss,
will be sent back to Providence.
Up to a week ago it was regarded as
certain that he would be kept as utility
outfielder and pinch hitter, but late de-
velopments have dispelled this idea. In
the first place, Perry is not a good fielder,
nor a good lead-off man, nor fast on the
bases. and there is grave doubt that he
can touch up American League pitching
enough to make him valuable as a clout-
en- Davy Jones is better than Perry in
all these respects and is showing his
old-time form.
Perry might be able TO hit left-hand
pitching better than Jones, and this was
the reason he was to be kept. But the
fact that Westerzell Of the Western Lea
que is showing UP stronger with the bat
than any one except Cobb and Crawford,
has induced Jennings to change his mind
WesterzelI can sub for Jones to better ad-
vantage than Perry can, and he can also
sub for Louden at third base, his batting
making him the most valuable man on
the team for such work Were it not Tor
the finished and artistic work OF Louden
as a fielder. he would have the call for
the third base job Both these men have
the call over Moriarty for third base and
Moriarty is definitely on the market. An
American League team already has bid
for him: he is still too good for the mi
nors. Dubuc, late of Montreal. has made
good SO impressively that Latitte. another
ex-International Lacquer, probably will
be sent back again.
Moroney from Utica also has made
good.

BY J. ED GRILLO.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHARLOTTESVILLE March 23.-While
it is hardly to be expected that the Ma
t!onals will be contenders in the coming
pennant race. yet there is apt to be
surprise at the showing the team will
make. There is no doubt that it will be
stronger than it ever has been before.
but whether it has gained enough to
materially improve it's position. time
alone will tell.
After watching the team at practice
here and remembering those of former
springs. one is impressed with the fact
that Griffith appears to have a better
balanced aggregation than his predeces-
sors could boast of. On the face Of its
probable makeup it seems certain that
there will be more batting than has been
the case. while the fielding. too. has been
improved
Flynn. Foster, knight, Mcbride and
Cunningham are sure to present a
stronger front with the bat than did the
inneldS Of former years, no matter on
what combination Griffith may decide,
and incidentally any one of the combina-
ton viii also show an improvement IN
fielding The outfield gives promise OF
being far better than it has been in for
mer years. Moeller Milan and Schaefer
should strike an average around the .5Uo
marx WITH the Suck, ana Mlidn anu IAoei-
Ter are brilliant fielders and throwers.
Schaefer may not rank high as fielder,
and yet he will do as well as any man
the team has played in right in recent
years.
Everything, Of course. depends on the
pitchers, and the indications are that
Griffith will have a wonderful pair in
johnson and Cashion. If CaShion con-
tinues to improve he will, indeed, be q
capable running mate for Johnson, ana
two great pitchers can do wonders for a
ball team. Sandwich them in between
Groom. Hughes. Walker and one other:
perhaps Akers, and that pitching staff
looks most formidable. and so far as the
catchers are concerned IL does not seem
that any team in the circuit has any
thing on Henry, Ainsmith and Williams.
With two extra outfielders and two ex-
ira infielders to be carried for emergency
purposes, the team seems well fortified
and stands a splendid chance to prove a
surprise in the race. OF course, no one
can be familiar with how much the other
teams in the race have improved 1t II
but natural for every club to make On
