Hoppe is the holder Of the 1872 balk-

retained this proud title after a GruclllnG
contest in tournament In which he
met the greatest galeXy OF players in
the world recently in New York. and
this is his first appearance outside of
New York since that contest. In his
last game of the tournament, with the
veteran George Slosson, he made the
remarkable record of running out the
game of 400 points in five times at the
table. having made SSS points in four in

Rivers has met the best at his weight

VIRGINIA PREPARES
FOR COMING MEET
WITH GEORGETOWN
"Pop" Lannigan Withdraws
Sprague From Basketball
to Train for Race.

CHARLOTTESVILLE Va, Jan. l3.-
Determined to give Georgetown hard
tussle in the relay race on March ],
Trainer Pop" Lannigan today with
drew Chandler Sprague from the bas-
ketball team, where he has been play
ing a regular forward. and started to
condition him for the track team.
Sprague is a quarter-miler of known
ability in the South Atlantic division.
having won many races under the COL
ors of Western Maryland, where he
captained the football and track teams.
Though he preferred basketball TO
track, Sprague needed the plea of Lam
nigan for more candidates, and will
hereafter confine himself to track. with
the recent additions Of Maxson and
Sprague. the outlook for the team in
the sprints has braced a hundred per
cent, though still being below the stand
ard.
Lannigan started today in a sys-
tematic training. dividing the men ac-
cordlng, to their respective distances,
and placing all the relay candidates un-
der the special care of Capt. Wiley
Cooke. Todd still persists in his de-
termination not % run again, and no
hope is now being spent on him. Minus
Todd, the Virginia four is certain to be
weakened, especially in tho line of ex-
perienced runners. Lannigaa facetious-
ly remarked today that from the strong
outlay of the Georgetown relay candi-
dates, IL appeared that ANY four of
them could beat five Virginia men,
That Virginia will not have the easy
time she has had in past years Is
certain. Captain Cooke and Mickey Guy
are the only two veteran quarter-milers
on the squad.

tute halfback ON the football team. re-

During the rest of the visit at the
business end of the alleys. the boys kept
one eye on pins and the other on the
visitor. The manager was. well ruffled
by now and kept one eye on the boys
and the other on the cash register. Be
tween strikes and spares. the urchins
gave views of their profession.

set 'em up for the men, cause they

Business of Setting Up Pins
is Gradually Becoming
Specialized In.
By KIRK c. MILLER.

This bowling game has been written
up from many angles; it has been car
tooned and illustrated from most every
viewpoint; II has been enlarged upon
by the cleverest of artists and by the
cunningest exponents of the journalistic
art; but there is one side of the sport
that seems to have been entirely over
looked both by the feature writer and
by the seeker of actual news.
The pin boy!
Who is he? What is his position in
life? What is his relation to the game
as a sport or as a means of recreation?
Need he have any special ability? Can
he be any alley CANNON that happens
to need two-fifty per week. and who
Is willing to serve at the south end OF
the maple floor. six days week, twelve
hours per day?
No Heart-Throbs.
This isn't going to be a heart throh
story, as the preceding paragraph might
intimate: but the urchin who patiently
sets and resets the ten pins for the in
discriminating transients who come and
go from the uptown alley, plays an i'm
portant part in the game, and once. and
perhaps for all. he is going to creep into
the limelight for the space of about a
column.
