The Petersburs bowlers still continue

The Petersburg bowlers still continue
to jump by leaps and bounds into the
first division column. as the past week
many new records have been set for
both individuals and team work. The
games have proved to be very inter-
est!ns to both the players and the
spectators.
The Cockade City already has two
strong organized leagues. and there is
now talk of another league to be
launched in a few days. Richmond
had better keep her eyes open II she
wishes to hold her high rank in the
southern circuit this year.
All of the teams nave played their
regular scheduled games this week.
and many changes have been made In
the standing column.
The intercity series just arranged
By Manager Whitman will open Tues
day night, when the Cook Printing
Company team will journey over to the
Cockade City for a series of games
with the Petersburg ave. These series
no doubt will prove to be very inter-
esting to the fans from the two cities
as games have been arranged Tor eacn

to get the bowlers to take any interest
in the proposed six-club league of the

weeks have passed and only On two OF
three occasions has any team been on
hand with q complete lineup.
1t Is now planned to start four.
team league. known as the Newport

following teams: Remingtons. COOK
Printing Co, Alcos and Newport
The captains of the respective teams
will he Wade. Of Remingtons: Cook, OF
Cook Printing Co; Whitman OF Aicos.
and Blair. Of Newport. Each captain Is
allowed to pick his team from among
any of the bowlers OF Richmond, and
to select the best he can get, nobody
barred. 1t il safe to say that eao4
team will present a classy lineup. ana
should develop into an interesting
league.
This league will start operations the
coming week with games TUESDAY
night between Cook Printing Co. ana

and Newport viii be tie attraction.
A tentative lineup of the teams, SUD-
ject to any change the captain may

DEBATE OVER $40 DUES.
AnacostIa q daIEens Threaten
Withdraw from Federation.

Discussion OF the question of the pay
ment of dues almost resulted in the with
drawal OF the Anaeostia Citizens Asso-
citation from the Federation of Citizens
Association at a meeting of the associa-
tion last night in the office of George S.
King Company, 2OO1 Nichols Avenue.
The question was brought UP by A. E.
Beck, secretary Of the organization, who
read a letter from the federation stating
that as the association had not paid its
dues of So which became due last No
vember. IL was no longer entitled to
representation in the central body.
This association has gained absolutely
nothing from its affiliation with the fed
eration," said Maurice Otterback. The
federation has not succeeded in accom-
plishing anything Of value. 1t is a
farce"
Thomas Reardon moved that the asso-
citation pay the so dues and then with
draw. W. W. Tolson was in favor Of un-
conditional withdrawal. Charles r. Burr,
president OF the association and delegate
to the federation. enumerated many Of
the matters which the federation had
taken up with favorable results. 1t was
finally decided to pay the so dues and
defer the question OF withdrawal until
the end OF the federation's fiscal year.
A resolution was adopted indorsing the
bill providing for the defrayment OF the
expense OF the Anacostia River reclama-
ton project on the half and half princi-
pie, instead Of by the assessment Of sur
rounding property as benefits.
